We talked about this before la. From a financial point of view, this makes absolutely no sense. In fact, I'd say you are downgrading in terms of reliability without gaining anything in return at all.
But hey, if you are not comfortable with driving a Toyota, or if you somehow don't like the Matrix anymore, go right ahead law. Nobody is going to, and nobody can stop you ge.
Actually, which are are you talking about, C Mui? Are you looking at a Lancer SE (no AWD ga), or are you talking about the Ralliart or Evo (have AWD).
In either case, it still makes no financial sense to trade in a 2009 car for a 2010 one. But at least it will make some emotional sense if you are going after a Ralliart or Evo ge (although that might arguably be an even bigger financial mistake...)
And let's do not overlook and forget the fact:
the Mits Corp is a major player and advocate of
Japanese Imperialism, from 1920 to now, and
the "Revision" of Japanese History Curriculum".
