Toyota Corolla vs. Honda Civic?

Question

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Both have sedans (4 door)...

I have read reviews on both at each respective web site and are pretty close...... Just wanted some consumer opinions before I drive one 2mro......

Answer 1

If you are talking new cars.

The Civic DX, LX, EX
30/40 (city/highway) Auto
30/38 Manual

Corolla CE, S, LE
30/38 Auto
32/41 Manual

I have no idea where this person got 24mpg.
They are almost the exact same car.
Both have 1.8 liter engines.
They have the same suspensions.
They have the same build quality.

So it is up to what you like visually more.

Answer 2

They are both well built cars that will be cheap on gas, cheap on repairs, and will have a "new" or "tight" feeling well past the 100k mile mark. They both have excellent resale value.

In terms of money, they will cost about the same over the long haul. In other words, you really can't go wrong when you are looking at it objectively.

However there may be a reason or two to pick one over the other. Ask yourself:

- Which one do I like the styling of the best?
- Which one can I see myself in?
- Which one do I like to drive the best?

If you are still at an impass, then were you treated any differently at one store or the other? Do you feel more comfortable with one salesman or another?

If you STILL can't pick a clear winner, then flip a frickin coin ;-) You really can't go wrong if you've gone this far and still can't figure out which is better for you.

BTW, I sell Toyotas....and if it were me, and I HAD to have a 4-door, I'd probably go with the Civic. It's just a lot cooler to me in MO. However, I would rather my Mom be in the Corolla. It's a little easier to get in and out of being a bit higher. Or I would wait to see what they have in store for 2007. Toyota will be releasing a brand new Corolla then....If you can wait.

If you don't HAVE to have a 4-door, check out the Scion tC. It's built by Toyota, has the Camry motor, and comes standard with a butt load of stuff, including SunRoof....for Less than 18k!

Answer 3

Honda The Car Is Not Bad I Still Like Toyota Because Toyota The Engine Can Last More Longer Then Honda The Car

Answer 4

Look at ratings. Try www.edmunds.com

2006 Honda Civic Styles
MSRP Price Range: $14,560 - $24,440
Consumer rating: 9.3
(no Editor rating)
EPA Mileage Estimates: 30 mpg

2006 Toyota Corolla Styles
MSRP Price Range: $14,105 - $17,880
Editor rating: 8.0
Consumer rating: 9.0
EPA Mileage Estimates: 32 mpg

These two cars are NOT in the same class. The Corolla is a 4 door, and the Civic is a 2 door. You better check these out at your nearby dealer.

I own a Toyota Matrix.... It is truly the best car that I ever owned. But I never owned a Honda.

Answer 5

Honda Civic

Answer 6

They are both GREAT cars and will last forever..... in my opinion, it comes down to styling preference. I like the Civics because they look better (to me) and there are a lot more aftermarket parts for the civic than the corolla. You'd be making a good choice either way though....
