Your reasons are not convincing...
I myself bought a 1.6 GLX AT GV and am really happy with it. Note that i previously owned an Exi Prosmatec and in my view, the drive is better den civic. Everyone has their own views about this tho.
Low Resale - When u shun a product because of low resale, you are really not buying the product cuz of driving pleasure but because of not loosing money when you sell it. No offense man, but this view totally crap. I bought an exi, sold it in a loss of 2 lacs but it was worth it cuz i drove the car for over a year and had fun driving it. I'm gonna sell my lancer in december and i know that ill lose loads of money but hey i am enjoying my ride, thats what counts the most. If u care about resale den buy the shitty XLI.
Spare Parts - I'm sure that you'll b getting ur car insured so then whats the point of spare parts, plus, what are the chancnes that you will get into an accident(god forbid) n have to buy new parts.
Low Legspace - Having had both Civic and Lancer, i can tell you that lancer has about 1 or 2 inches more of rear legspace.
No Fog Lamps - Not even Civic, Corolla offer fog lamps.
Head Of Passenger - I'm not sure if you have actually had the experience of sitting in a Civic, but its the Civic where you head touches the roof, whereas with Lancer its totally perfect. I can give you assurity on that.
Limited Choice - You get Black, White, Cool Silver, Warm Silver(Golden), Deep Blue, Light Blue, New color of charcoal, Red. Thats roughly, 8 Colors, which is similar to what we get in other locally assembled cars.
Bad Rear Lights - The model that we get here is Cedia in India which is considered somewhat sporty so i dont c y u shud b complaining of that
Again bro, please dont mind what i sed, im just presenting my views on what you wrote.
