And when you consider that the base Lancer ES is also faster than the Civic Sport, damn.

No disrespect to the lancer..its great value car, evo interior.But...the technology that Honda has put into the new r18 engines..could make your eyes teary.The 1.8 can actually produce 103kW...which is like a 2.0 litre engine other car makers produces...yet efficent as a 1.5 litre.The civic pricing is fairly decent and not to forget,,the great handsome looks.Technooly and Class..

both the lancer and the civic are nice, but i picked the civic over the lancer IMO the civic has a more futuristic design and the techonology onboard is incredible.

the civic is also safer in its class. it got car of the year in japan 2006 and a 6 star crash rating (which is eqivilant to 5 stars here).

but more importantly the new civic gives the car and the driver a much more sense of security. the civic is solid, the lancer well.... i guess just like any typical jap car in its price range (no offense to the lancer drivers :p )

Lancer? A stupid car. I guess the price is ok, but the design is about what 7-8 years old and its also a Mitsubishi. That says it all really.The Evolution is great but the rest of the Mitsubishi range? :thumbdwn:

EVO has the same Cedia chassis as the Lancer. Please research first.

... are you serious?

have you ever driven a lancer?

they are not bad cars at all. the only downsides of the new lancer is that it is a good 200kg heavier than the 8th gen civic and the crappy interior.

The Lancer is actually lighter than the Civic. The old 2.0L 92kw model managed a time of 9.7s for the 0-100km/h, which is around the same as the Civic VTi.

I doubt the Civic is the safest in it's class. Maybe there's a case for the Sport and Hybrid but not the VTi anyway. It might have a stronger structure but both the Lancer and the Mazda 3 comes with optional side and curtain airbags while the Mazda3 also has DSC.

Does the Mazda3 or Lancer have a chassis design incorporating a no-penetration zone like Hondas and Toyotas have?

Don't know about the Lancer but the Mazda3 has a 'Triple H' design designed to help against side and offset impacts and some other design that's supposed to keep the cabin relatively intact.

My mistake, I got the figures confused with the 2.0L models.
VRX is 1285kg.
