One thing to add for prospective buyers that I didn't think of when I was buying my civic was that insurance on the civic is much much higher than the corolla. It was about 1.5x as expensive. Definitely get a quote before buying
Civic is popular with the fast and furious . I would call my insurance company to verify but a quick google search and Civics are more expensive to insure
I got a sport touring. My insurance went up $30 every 6 months. I replaced a almost 20 year old car. I find it odd. Maybe because I'm older.
Yea My insurance almost doubled off of my accord.@@1Springloaded
Thanks for letting us know.
I am still driving my 2008 Toyota Yaris hatchback,238,000 miles and running great,love it😊
We just bought a brand new 2023 Corolla LE for our daughter for college. It was cheaper than a 3 year old 2020 Honda Civic with 40k miles on it😬. Easy choice for us.
Last longer its Toyota. Very affordable and reliable
@@solidwisdom8749 MY 2006 corolla just hit 250k miles, everything original!
More affordable yet it will last longer and be more reliable than a Honda Civic.
you don’t mind I acsk about how much you pay for that car. I am interested to buy one next month
You misspoke! Let me word it for you correctly. Corolia was more affordable than a overpriced civic with turbos cvts and other weak links..
toyotas will always win my heart
1.reliability
2.resell value
3.drives so smooth
4.cheap on maintence
5.amazing on gas
6. no turbos on some models
7. all models come with hybrid
also wait for a Year minimum or 3-4 years for plugin
but still, worth it
Yep!
All Toyotas moving to turbos soon so too bad for the next gen reliability
Bro described Honda as well
@@thegoat-sg5hg wrong honda has trubos and more cost on maintence
What’s more ridiculous is that Honda dealers are STILL marking their cars OVER MSRP … simply outrageous.
So is Toyota 😢
We held out and did NOT pay any over inflated pricing. $31k
If my 6'3" son was driving the Corolla with the seat all the way back I would not want to be in that back seat. We have the 2024 Civic. Lot's of space. I still drive my 07 Civic now counting 347K.
If it were the CVT model you wouldn't.
@@robertkubrick3738
Absolutely. Toyota's transmissions are so much better actually the best
At 347 Toyota would still be on the same transmission. how many transmissions have you gone through with the Honda
@@anthonynicholich9654 Original manual transmission and I am at 351K now. Mechanically the car is flawless but it is a rust bucket that has gone through a lot in rural Ontario for a number of years. I should have had it rust proofed.
The CIVIC is awesome but has become unaffordable.
lol even the suburu impreza trims are cheaper. plus those have awd.
24k is unaffordable?
@@Zephyrion__ that’s for the LX model, which only a few years ago was the price for the SI, which was a top trim. Now, the higher trims are closer to $30k+ for a car that’s supposed to be very affordable. Don’t let me get started on the type-R and their markups
@@bruceleeroy8302when comparing cars you compare them at the price.
@@bruceleeroy8302I paid $25800 for my civic ex.
Excellent review on these two cars. You really cover what a perspective shopper needs to hear. Thank you.😎
For some time now Honda has been moving the Civic away from its humble roots, and by now the cars in that platform (Civic, the new HRV) are getting conceived as aimed at a slight step-up in category above "device to move you from point A to Point B". Notice how with the dropping in the North America market of the Fit and the old HRV, Honda have admitted that selling an "econobox" is not worth it for them here.
In Europe, the Civic has basically replaced the Accord, which is no longer on sale. And I suppose the Jazz (Fit in America) is the new Civic.
Of course, the trend here is very much towards SUVs and crossovers. HR-V, CR-V, ZR-V, and the all-electric E:NY1 are all in that wheelhouse. Blegh.
Both Europe and Asia love econoboxes which are efficient and reliable at the same time is why they have money and here in America we are broke due to arrogance and ignorance. wasteful.
Transmission blowing gas guzzling expeditions suburbans and explorers are our favorite transportation
Excellent presentation. Thank you!
Thank you for your well informed recommendation ! 👍
I bought the 2024 Corolla XSE hatchback. The rear seats are small but I never use them anyways. I only wish that the rear hatch wasn't situated so high and more of a well like my 2015 Veloster. Traded a 2019 Corolla SE for it, which is also an excellent car, absolutely zero complaints about it.
I would choose the Honda Civic over Toyota Corolla. A comfortable back seat and trunk space are important. Plus, the interior looks more upscale. Only one problem with the Civic is the 1.5 liter, turbo charged engine. The standard Toyota engine is better.
If you get lx or sport it is a 2.0
I agree, if the civic touring had the 2.0 engine I would jump on it. Also the corolla is cheaper than the civic with same amenities. Though I love the looks of civic better
Toyota ROCKS! 😎👍💪
Toyota Corolla is more solid built with longevity and reliability in mind
@@steezygaming_1445
..... and Toyota Corolla engine and transmission still better and more reliable then Honda Civic
I purchased a new Civic Touring last month. Very happy with it. It’s size, handling and more upscale interior won me over. I got a very good deal on it as I didn’t want the color (Rally Red) and it was the only one they had in inventory. The color has grown on me.
I bought a brand new 2023 Civic Touring in January 2023. I’d been driving my ‘02 Civic LX for 18 years and desperately needed a new(er) car.
Mine is meteorite metallic gray with a two-tone black/gray interior (gray seats). Honda has gone back to their design roots with this 11th gen redesign. It has a ‘90s look/feel, yet slightly modernized. I love the understated, yet polished exterior paired with the semi-luxury interior. It’s a beautiful car and I’m super happy with mine.
I’m in South Florida and the heat here can be brutal. I absolutely did NOT want black seats for that reason, so I would never have bought the red car since it only comes with black seats. I actually wanted a white Civic with the gray seats, but that color combo wasn’t available to me.
@@afn-bd2rowaiting for this.
can you buy me one too? lol jk This is the car I want. Hopefully I can afford one next year.
Give it some time till the Turbo or the head gasket blows
Great Video Shari!
I bought the 2022 Corolla Hatchback se great car for the price compared to the civic price well I'm very happy with Toyota like you said back I rarely use it and the hatch is practical but just use it for groceries so I bought it for the price if the Honda was priced similar maybe most probably I'd have gone for the Honda civic but I'm extremely happy with my Toyota great video you were right on for everything you've said .
I bought the 24 civic sport an a impulse buy, it is so smooth , loving it so far
Have a 2021 Corolla hatchback. I love it. Got it in manual which they seem not to offer anymore. The info tablet still has buttons and was super affordable with its value only going up since then. It's a great car
There’s a 4,600$ difference between the civic and Corolla base models in Canada. My 2009 corolla has 504,000 km or 312,000 miles I’ll be using it as a winter car and get the Corolla le 2024 early April 2024
I did this comparison in real life a few years ago, and the winner was....
Corolla.
I ended up buying a 2020 Corolla mostly due to the lower price. The Corolla has held up beautifully for the three years I have owned it and , along with the 2013 Camry I had, it has been the most trouble free, satisfying car owning experience I have had. I really liked both of these cars, but there really was no reason to spend more on the Honda.
civic new gen...
Absolutely.
Looking forward to the Civic hybrid review. Also can you provide a POV on which manufacturers safety system performs the best in winter e.g. Subaru's camera based system vs Honda / Toyota's radar, sensor based ones.
Good review!
Got my civic through my credit union I’m proud I’ll be keeping my 2024 raylle red sport for life got it with 5 miles at 867 miles rn I’m loving it more then my corrola s
Hey bro. Are modding the cars at all?what makes you like the civic hatch more than the rolla hatch? Thanks
@@dylanmartinez2157 nah bro just a daily ride tbh I like the civic more because the looks and I’m not that great at driving manual but the si is freaking amazing
There are no real affordable options anymore! Honda got rid of the excellent 'Fit'. Toyota got rid of the 'Yaris'. Mitsubishi is getting rid of the 'Mirage'. Mazda got rid of the 'Mazda 2'. Sucks.
The Yaris IA was the Mazda 2 in North America.
CAFE standards killed them.
Civic costs more but it’s worth the price since it has a lot more room, better interior, and handling.
I drive a 2018 Prius now .thanks for the review..
I just test drove both and really felt that at my age...I'd now go with the more spacious roomier Honda. IF I were twenty years younger, I'd do the Corolla. The Corolla Hatch was REALLY squished feeling - like I was kissing my knees driving it! And then the corolla sedan, which is the absolute one I SHOULD buy cuz affordable, felt cheap! I'm pretty much on the fence and am giving it some thought...like my age tells me Honda and my pocketbook tells me Toyota- sigh.
Years from now when you park and walk away from this car, would you rather smile or frown?
I think Toyota really made a mistake in not making the Corolla bigger but maybe that's because they are trying to force you towards a bigger more expensive model. The car is alot smaller than its competition and you have to be able to fit 3 adults in the back otherwise forget it.
The civic felt way more spacious than the Corolla
I agree, I driven ford focus, toyota corolla, prius, mazda3, and honda civic. Civic feels more luxury at the same price range as corolla lol. It doesn't mean it's better but in the interior design in civic comes off more luxurious looking. So I also got a civic 2024.
Just bought my new 2024 Toyota Corolla se upgrade hatchback. Was 12,000$ less then the same model version of the Honda civic hatchback. Very easy decision for me.
Topguns. 1 and 1A.
Civic for the win 🏆 but sadly like all Hondas now, too expensive to actually purchase. 😢
✅
Was going to get a corolla, but got the Camry hybrid night shade very nice.
I have a 2021 Nightshade Corolla. I bought new and have owned 49 vehicles in the past forty years. I Love my Toyota! I have 44k miles on it and it still feels like the day that I drove it off the lot! No problems! I replased the tires at 36k and the wiper blades a couple times. I ave 35mpg, but could get better if I would slow down! LOL
I like Toyota engine (2.0L 4cyl) because of non Turbo, but I like the body of Civic in and out design.
Corolla AWD is the best choice for winter, i had civic with winter tire but always stuck on wet snow, i switched to corolla AWD and never stuck again
UNTIL the next gen corolla comes . prius civic and mazda 3 are the top 3 best non high performance compact cars in its class .
I own a 2023 Corolla.........in a few words.......flawless, bulletproof, perfect, inexpensive, will last 500 thousand miles.........
If you plan on keeping the car for 8+ years does it pay to get the hybrid? Are you getting to the time where expensive electronics repairs might’ve needed?
I would choose the mazda3 over these 2, thanks to your video a couple months ago purchasing a mazda3 my sister chose that 1 over the Civic and Corolla.
I still love mine!
My experience, Toyota has been more reliable than Honda. But both are great, you can't go wrong either way.
Absolutely agree Toyota longer lasting more reliable.
i would get a honda civic. My son has 2012 civic , has 220000 miles on it. Just basic maintance on it. rides good also. good car
220,000 miles in Toyota is still considered “brand new”.lol.My 2004 Toyota Prius was at 373,000 miles when I sold it.for reliability nothing comes close to Toyota
No dealership in Toronto Canada has knowledge of a Civic Hybrid- nor the PHEV.
I wish the Corolla Hatchback came in a hybrid. With the Prius going less practical and more sporty there's much less of an overlap.
When it eventually does. It’ll sell like crazy! Imagine the Corolla hb with the Camry hybrid engine. Oh man.
They keep saying the civic hybrid is coming...but i dont see them listed for sale or available...anywhere
Excellent video except that the corolla hybrid has a 1.8 liter engine no a 2.0...i would choose a manual civic but the prices in Canada are way too much for it...the honda dealer in my city has a lot of inventory!
Greetings to you from Germany, I have been following you since today. I would have a question regarding Mazda 6 newer models from 2017 onwards.....what are they like. Are diesels good now 2.0 D or petrol 2.0 and ??? I've been for a long time
drove a Mazda 626 gasoline 2.0 and...it was a great car, never had any problems, I drove the car for 11 years and sold it with 300,000 kilometers. Thank you in advance for your reply.
Just bought a 2024 honda civic sport love the car only thing i hate is the windsheild wippers they have the windsheild wash come out of the wippers not a big fan. So now if the wippers break or ware and tear there more expensive to replace
How much is that to replace?
Corolla - I've always been happy with Toyota...😍
We purchased the Civic Touring and we love it. The Corolla was smaller inside and that didn’t work for me because I am 6’ 2”s tall. It’s loaded with safety features and the sound system is amazing. I picked ours up for $29K OTD. We considered the Accord but could not justify the price. This is my wife’s car and she will be driving it more than me.
I bought a civic. Because I wanted a manual transmission and I like the looks a lot better.
I had both. 2021 Corolla hatchback (which is still current gen) and 2022 civic. And without a doubt Corolla is the better buy. Better powertrain, nicer seats, nicer paint (especially the pearl white) better safety options, more comfortable seats and most Corollas from this generation are made in Japan (unless they changed that). And honestly I think the Corolla looks better too.
What are you smoking?
@@kevbiker3982 I mean you could farther explain your opinion instead of saying that
he's smoking from the pipe of wisdom. enjoy your overpriced Honda. @@kevbiker3982
Absolutely finally someone with brains here but if everybody had brains Honda would be out of business
I owned a 2022 civic and had a ton of problems with it beautiful car and the interior was bigger and nicer but my 2024 corolla does have better seats it's hybrid and awd and it feels much better built than the Honda..... I was a civic owner for 15 years bought a new one every 3-5 years and made the jump to toyota because I wanted the hybrid and the 2022 being so unreliable
Great vid!
Hate CVTs so would roll with the Corrolla in std.
How did you get an STD?
I thought the 2024 Corolla also had a CVT transmission. The only car in its class that doesn't is the Mazda. I'm not a car buff, but I've done a lot of reading since I need a new car.
@@lottasunshine1325
Mazda is a good bet imo.
The reliability ratings rival that honda and toyota.
Plus if you're buying used they may have depreciated a little more than the honda and toyota.
Which means savings for you.
We just got the new civic touring and love it. The new look is incredible, the dashboard is nice and straight, and plenty of interior room. A ton of rust preventing details, the engine is simple and stuff is easy to get to. Nice big wheels, handling is tight and such a smooth ride. Controls are easy to navigate. Two years of free oil changes and tire rotation. Plus, 10 yrs and 100k mi. warranty on everything except brake pads and drive belt. Not too shabby! We paid $31k. No dealer inflated pricing!
how'd you get 10 yr/100k mi warranty?
I like your channel. Will you be covering the Buick Envista in the near future?
I'm planning a video with the Envista and Trax together yes!
Great. In your upcoming review please comment on the cabin noise and ride quality. @@carhelpcorner Thank you.
good comparison
Great sharing
2:37 Is the L per 100 kms backwards ? Is it 7.5 liters / 100 kms city and 5.5 Liters/100 kms hwy ?
Toyota Corolla definitely for longevity and reliability between the two but l rather have the 4 door Yaris. Unlike Corolla it was made in Japan it's got a smaller 1.5 1NZ-FE (I've seen them with over 500.000 miles never opened and more and you never hear nothing bad about them 1.5) so it is more efficient and so are the Scion XA and XB (first gen 1.5) of the 2000s and also both made in Japan which is what you want if you know anything about cars. If you didn't know now you know. Also Toyota ECHO.
Toyota is way more repair friendly and has less expencive parts,and better retail value after years of ownership ,even in these days .
I've just bought the 2024 Toyota Corolla Hatchback SE and I love it. Gas mileage is amazing, a full tank can last me 2 week, since my comute totals 22 miles a day. It really is a fun drive. It has enough power to feel like it is actually going somewhere, and doesnt feel sluggish. Yes, interior and trunk space is a bit tight. But, if you dont plan on lugging too much stuff, then this is all you need. I think it is the best bang for your buck. Wireless charging, safety technology and multiple usb ports was a huge plus. Especiallynat this price point.
thinking of getting the same car next year. how much are you're monthly payments?
@eeeveee9176 My monthly is $360 and change.
@@chrisabanil2130 wow thats great! did you leave a big payment so your monthly payment could be that low?
I have a 2023 Hatch SE bought new. Love mine. 16k miles on it.
I really want the civic, I drive a Toyota yaris which is 9 yrs old now, and the corolla is by far the cheaper and more fuel efficient option with a cheaper insurance, but I always wanted a civic since I got my driving licence 6 years ago but never afforded it. I am hoping to purchase it as my next upgrade
I have a 2016 Civic EX and will be upgrading around Christmas. I have to decide between the new Civic Hybrid Hatch or the Corolla Hybrid Hatch. It will be a tough decision but i'm a big guy so the Civic space might be the deal breaker.
I would try to stay away from anything turbo charged. Buying a turbo you will save money on frontend & pay it on the backend.
I heard you need to warm up, drive modestly and cool down turbo engines. Plus premium oil and gasoline just in case. I used to have a turbo and it hesitated soon after the warranty ended. Traded it in for peanuts
In recent years, Honda's quality has declined a bit compared to Toyota. That's very important to me since I am not mechanically inclined and can't afford to spend tons of money on auto repairs. Plus, where I live, I need to have an AWD vehicle. The Corolla wins hands down for me.
What about Subaru Crosstrek WILDERNESS edition, thanks ...
I would stay away from turbo.
Definitely.
I recently traded my 23 Corolla SE for a 24 Civic EX. The Civic is such a nicer car and much more fun to drive. Every single piece of plastic in the Corollas rattle and make noise constantly. The CVT transmission has a physical first gear which creates a weird feeling when accelerating from a stop and a gap where the car feels totally unresponsive until 3rd gear. It does not have a sunroof, blind spot monitor, or heated seats. The Civic came with all of those and I am also getting 6 more mpg in it with a quicker, much more responsive turbo engine. The Corolla did have a nicer touch screen and infotainment UI if that matters to you. I have driven both cars in the past year and it is night and day between the two. Buy the Civic.
When is the Hybrid Civic supposed to come out in NA? Haven’t heard anything about it since they announced it.
Rumors are mid 11th gen refresh, so 2025 model year/2nd half of next year
Trick question, it’s the Mazda 3 2.5t AWD Hatch. But in all seriousness the Civic is a very close second, the only reasons I think it looses out on #1 is the lack of AWD and the CVT tranny. The only way I’d consider the Corolla is in the GR configuration because otherwise it feels anemic even though it’s tiny and weighs nothing. None the less you can’t really go “wrong” with any of them. Japanese designed cars, made in Japan, with Japanese parts are always superior… but now that I think of it aren’t Civics not made in Japan anymore? Maybe this is a two horse race between Toyota and Mazda after all…
Hunk CZcamsr! 😍
I like the Corolla. I have a backseat passenger maybe 3 times in a year so the backseat space is fine for me. The Civic has an old fashioned look. The Corolla looks more modern. The Corolla is also cheaper.
Honestly the Honda is misleading, bordering on disingenuous. It's a beautiful car, arguably better styled than some luxury vehicles, but its base model has LESS power than its predecessors and significantly less than its competitors. 10 less HP than a Corolla and 2k more at base? Good luck, I'm going with the Corolla. If I wanted to drop 30K+ on the more powerful version I'd just go and buy something more exciting, like a WRX.
I'm 6'7, I have the 2024 corolla hatchback and I don't even put the seat all the way back. It is a small car but it's not as small as they make it out to be in this video.
I saw a cartoon years ago that reminds me of. Big guy little car. I think Daffy got his neck wrung in the end
I have a 2022 Corolla Hatch XSE manual but it is tiny. Part of that is charming but a recent Costco trip defeated me. So I’m looking at trading in for a civic or Integra. I want manual transmission so it’s the 2.0 sport hatch or the Type R/Type S. I don’t want the 1.5 turbo.
Thanks for sharing. Would you recommend the Corolla to a 23 y/o? I’m in the same boat except I want the SE 6p 2.0 NA. I don’t got friends like that lmao and my brothers are slim/not crazy tall. I’d definitely mod it a little.
Other option would be the 11th gen civic hatchback 2.0 NA 4cyl. I live w/ folks. What do you think? Thanks
@@dylanmartinez2157. Corolla hatchbacks are a little less common than a civic. I just upgraded to a GR Corolla Circuit so you can tell how much I like the Corolla hatchbacks. They look more jdm to me and a more traditional hatch compared to the civic which is not made in Japan anymore other then the Type R.
The civic offers better handling, acceleration, nicer cabin, a bit more spacious and if you’re the type to customize it’ll have a lot of options for aftermarket parts. I own a civic my cousin owns a corolla and you can def feel a difference lol
Still driving my 2006 corolla S. Original engine, just regular maintenance. It broke 250k mi
We have two 2020 Civics. Both have had flawless drivetrain performances for 60k miles each. As we approach 2024-25 we have looked a the:
1. Toyota Prius AWD.
2. Toyota Corolla Hybrid AWD
3. Honda HR-V Hatchback AWD
But what I'm REALLY hoping for is the is the Corolla Hatchback HYBRID AWD. If they come out with that option, that is the most practical and aesthetically acceptable option for us.
The pricey Prius is hard to swallow to swallow. While the Corolla sedan, being affordable, is aesthetically a desert with its mundane curbside appeal. However, the Corolla Hatch is quite attractive.
The HR-V Hybrid is eminently practical, but a test drive is mandatory because of previous "sleepy" performance.
As for the new Civic, we all totally dislike this Gen 11 Civic design and reject it out of hand.
So, we wait for prices to return to normalcy and new possibilities on the horizon.
In this matter, patience and discipline are usually my best guides.
The new Civic should be available as a hybrid in both the sedan and hatchback. Honda makes an excellent hybrid system. I can't wait to test this car.
@@carhelpcorner ME TOO!
I really don't want a CUV with our UX on board. But a Civic Hatch with a Hybrid would be awesome. With AWD...perfection!❤️
Agreed, I had a 2004 civic hybrid with 196k, miles on it, 38 mpg, batteries died at 90k, were replaced by Honda under the 100k warranty. At 196k the transmission was about to go out, and needed a new commuter car. I was waiting for a Corolla hatchback AWD. No hybrid, cause batteries will fail before the engine. The engine on my 2004 Honda hybrid could still go another 100k, but the batteries will fail again before that. I thought Toyota would give us the corolla AWD hatchback this year, but no. I bought a 2024 Honda civic sport hatchback a week ago, and very happy with the car so far. With 500 miles on it, i'm averaging 33 MPG. One thing people don't talk about with hybrids is their longevity. As an owner of a 19 year old civic hybrid , batteries fail, just like they do on your smart phone, laptop etc. Keep that in mind on your next car purchase. Hybrids are great for gas mileage , but don't last as long as naturally asperated engine cars.
@@sharkdog111yes I haven’t heard about the longevity of hybrids much. I didn’t know Honda made hybrids back in 04! Would the battery life etc have improved much now compared to almost 20 years ago? We are thinking of a hybrid for our next vehicle. Thanks for sharing your experience, it’s great to know!
60000 miles is nothing. My 1995 Toyota has 450.000 miles with engine and transmission never touched. that will never happen with Honda
I probably spring for the Honda since I seem to be loyal to Honda
At the price of Civic hatchback or less you can have Corolla cross with even more space and AWD!
I have one and love it!
Which Corolla has the Prius engine ?
When is the Civic Hybrid going to come out?
25 models apparently. Really sad they delayed it.
While one might view this as subjective, most reviews I have read or seen disagree with your comment that the Civic is quieter than the Corolla. One of my knocks with Honda is the road noise that creeps into many of their models. Perhaps the use of a sound meter might help here. In other words, you are just wrong here.
Corolla definitely gets the nod in my opinion: so MUCH to appreciate at that price range and made in Japan makes it the real deal !
The Corolla hybrid's displacement is 1.8l, not 2.
corollas awd option makes it the choice for me
The Civic looks like the same size as the Accord. The Civic is supposed to compact and Accord mid-sized
Civic 1.5 turbo manual all the way!!
The interior is gorgeous. The car is fun to drive and reliable AF. Do your maintenance and you’ll be fine!! There are so many 1.5 with 300k+ km. Out there.
I was able to talk to a dealership employee and found out that they’re marking up each car by $5000. I found this out because I was trying to go for a job and ended up befriending one of them. This is at a high scale dealership that’s quite popular. A Toyota one 😤
Honda is no longer on top anymore. It is the worst, I used to love it and recommend it to everyone. However, my cousin has a 2021 Honda Civic and had gotten a recall for the ac. It has been almost a year and still no fix. It is extremely hot and whenever we are in his car our shirts are soaking from this extreme heat. It is such an inconvenience especially since we still don't have any updates due to the back order. Terrible just terrible!
Civic has always been a great car but insurance is so expensive. It's cheaper to get an accord over the long run because of insurance. In the 00's when I was ready to buy one, the accord, RSX, Celica, Corolla, Camry, and IS300 were cheaper to own over 7 years because of the crazy high insurance. Everything from Fast&Furious movies, theft, and even "thinner sheet metal" were given as reasons.
At these prices, the Civic should be competing against full size sedans or compact crossovers. Absolutely crazy pricing from Honda. Since they don't even sell the Fit any longer, they've just priced a significant sector of the market out of their cars.
Coming from a 2019 Civic highest pack, the Hybrid awd Corolla is a bit better in many ways but I mean unless you have a family of more than 4 excluding you or you buy a lot the space is not a good reason to go for the civic, I mean with the price of the Civic now just get a SUV. If you going for just looks I mean I guess so . Plus you can’t beat Toyota at reliability.
I’ve had both but it’s sort of funny that the opinion is out there that non-aspirated engines DON’T have carbon buildup and fuel injection problems. Since I first started buying cars in 1994 they have ALL had carbon build-up and fuel injection problems once you get over 100K… it wasn’t until 2020 that I had a Turbo but all my NON-Turbo . NON-Aspirated (Compressed Air) engines had this problem.
So I’m just here to say that there is not much difference… Non-Turbos could last longer yes but if you go for the 2.0L instead of the 1.6T you WILL NEED Fuel-Injection Service and there will be some Maintenance problems you just can’t avoid.
I get that Turbo may have more maintenance issues, especially if you use only 87 octane gas with very little detergents to clean the carbon off of the valves over time. But lets be honest here… I have about 80K on my 2020 CR-V and it has had absolutely no maintenance due to the engine once it gets to 120K that might change but I also expect it because my previous vehicles did have this problem (although not Honda).
Actually come to think of it I already had starting problems due to Fuel Injection prior to 80K with Plymouth Chrysler vehicles. But that was late 90’s and fuel injection was still fairly new (yes Port Injection… all my vehicles with Port Injection were a problem, all my vehicles with Direct Injection have never had an issue).
Sorry for the rant but… don’t get too hung up on Port vs Direct or Dual or Non-Aspirated vs Turbo-charged. Oh yeah and if you do buy a Turbo… it warms up so fast in the Winter, if you live in a cold climate, it’s pretty awesome.
Not on the new 2 litre! Toyota engines that combine port injection with direct injection. Technology marches on.
These are not small cars. they are more mid size
Was looking at a Civic Si, but dealers around my area were charging 45K for them. I decided on a Forte GT, since it was only 25K and just as good as the Honda counterpart. And I still got my EK hatchback anyways
These colours are never available. All you get at the dealership are black, white and other lackluster colours.
Front seats in CIViC give a back pain during long rides.
The Corolla is significantly smaller than the civic. I have both and I can tell you the civic has way more room…we have the LE corolla and the sport civic…I’d take the civic all day long over the corolla. But like he said in the video. Corolla is cheaper… and it’s not a bad car at all. Just like the civic better
Ive owned a 2022 civic and now own a 2024 corolla, the civic has a bit nicer interior and it was a bit bigger and nicer looking but it was also much more poorly built, in less than 2 years I needed the ac compressor replaced the steering rack had issues the collision mitigation system randomly tried to kill me twice by braking violently on the highway and the interior developed lots of rattles and some wear on the drivers seat 😬 I've owned the corolla for about 2 months now and it feels rock solid, the interior is kind of bland but very comfy and functional the hybrid system gets stellar gas milage and all around it just feels better built and has a slightly nicer ride quality than the civic, all in all IL take the build quality and fuel economy of the corolla I sold the civic because of the issues I had and the length of time honda took to fix the issues
I have drove Corolla and City(not the civic)
My opinion…
🎉City has better feeling control the wheel.
🎉 Corolla has better engine but I don’t like the wheel, I felt it’s too light. Hard to control.
The Corolla is smaller and less spacious, but most of the time it's just the missus and I at any given time so the Corolla would be more practical for us as we seldom have passengers. Cheaper to buy, cheaper to insure, lasts for 20 years, I'd have to vote for the Corolla as our next car.
I paid the 2023 sport touring hatchback for $ 40.000 with the mark up. Ouch🤮
