Its funny, you come to a lancer forum to ask if you should get a lancer or another car, haha of course everyone will say lancer!

** not bashing you **

I bet if you went to the camaro forums they would say camaro, so your prob at a mute point im guessing.

Well, alot of this has already been mentioned, but im going to do it again.

When i was looking for a car recenlty about a year ago, i wanted a Camaro as well. I soon learned they cost way too much money to keep up and maintain, especially if you live where it snows or you get a lot of rain.

My friend who has a camaro, has crashed it 3 times, 2 because of snow and 3rd because he had a fast*er* car and wanted to be a **** about it.

If you are under 21, definatly stick with the lancer. Your insurance will be much much lower, and your gas money well, wont be wasted as fast.

Overal, i love a camaro and think there really nice, but u just have to think of the whole picture and what is "economicaly" right for you at this time in your life.

Hope this helps, and hope to see you in a 2003 lancer very soon, haha

Later.

Get the Camaro.

In a few weeks, months, or a year or two, you will appreciate how far technology in automobiles has come in a decade and a half. I don't care if you get Lancer or not, but back in the 80's, GM had some build quality issues. Try a Lancer, Focus, Civic, Impreza, Mazda 3, or Corolla. Then tell me if you still like the MINT Camaro that will cost you a mint to insure, gas, and maintain.

My worthless 0.02's.

haha that's funny cause its true...i was at the local applebees one night and a kid had a black rx-8...this was when the dealers just got the rx-8s in...so i was cruising by, stopped to look and said nice car man...he said thanks and asked if i was in "that new evo"... i just laughed, said no, and drove away...obviously mom and pops just surprised him with a new car that probably he didn't even know what it was...poor kid

sorry just thought that was funny, but back to the post...if i were you, i'd go with the lancer...the camaro's still a sick car and i'd love to have an old chevelle myself...but for a first car i'd think the lancer is more reliable and easier to take care of if something happened to it...it's still under warranty, etc....go with the lance

I actually thought this was a joke poll at first. GM cars from the 80's are among the worst quality cars made in automotive history. It's not a good buy in any condition or at any price....that includes free.

Unless you've been driving for a while... go with the Lancer.
