Help to choise: Honda Civic 2002 vs Mitsubishi Lancer 2004

Hi all,

I want to buy a car. Could someone advise me which car is better. I like LANCER'S design, but my friend suggested to buy only HONDA CIVIC because its very reliable.

Honda Civic 2002

- 4DR
- 1.7 Litre, 4 Cylinder
- Air Conditioning
- AM/FM Stereo, CD Player
- Anti-Lock Brakes
- Anti-Theft
- Keyless Entry
- Power Door
- Power Brakes

Mitsubishi Lancer 2004

- Automatic
- 70.000 kms
- 4DR
- 2.0 Litre, 4 Cylinder
- Air Conditioning
- AM/FM Stereo, CD Player
- Anti-Lock Brakes
- Anti-Theft
- Keyless Entry
- Power Door
- Power Brakes
- Power Mirror
- Power Windows

Mitsubishi Lancer has Power Mirror and Power Windows.

Both for the same price.

Please help me, I don't have any expierence with cars.

Thank you for the help.

Go with the Lancer. Its newer, less km's, and you like the design better. Its your car don't worry about your friend who thinks Honda civics are the most reliable cars in the world. Just take proper care of the lancer and it will last long too.

It also depends on condition of both cars. So far lancer looks like a nicer deal, based on mileage,year,features. What are the full model names on both? (i.e. Civic LX, Mitsubishi Lancer ...?)

Civic LX and Lancer ES

i read some reviews online regarding lancer es and it looks like it's a decent car.....i have noticed that people complained about small tires on it. But i doubt civic's LX tires are that much larger, I believe they are 14' and 185 in width.........Lancer ES should have very similar 14' 185 tires.
