Hi Bro,

instead of getting a 1.8 auto might as well get the cheaper 1.6 model and convert to a v6. Parts are available and shared with the Ford Telstar GE,Mazda 626 Cronos and some Kia models ( you can pick up from Spectra,and Carnival model)

its a great car to drive, super handling and despite its age quite a good looking even now. Join the Lantis Owners' FB group for more opinions. Most forummers here normally whack the Mazda and Ford brands regarding parts etc, but all it takes is some extra effort to cari parts and you have a car which is relatively cheap to run and solid unlike our local proton models.

That said, a 1.8 model is abit hard to come by even spares due to the parts cannibilazation by the owners who convert to the 1.8 Turbo version.

Owned a 1.8M and 1.6 Auto lantis before.. Now a happy Lantis 2.0V6 Type R owner...
