it upto you mate!!!!you should choose among STYLE/LOOKS or RESALE+MAINTENANCE
and have to give up one choice..
the lancer beats both in looks!and i hope you would get better performance than toyota's,,,,but the maintainance and parts are much more expensive..the resale is quite good but not good as toyota's/nissans in sri lanka!
but in resale+low maintenance the Toyota kicks mistu's butt..having an allion or corolla is just as having HOT CASH in hand....you could sell it withing hours if it was advertised properly!
all of my points are based on the sri lankan auto exchange.so if you are in sri lanka you have to think wise!
