Which car are you better off with? I heard that corolla is cheaper and is actually more reliable. But the downfall is that it is boring.

i would get a civic, the new five door ones, if i could, i would get the type R. It looks much better than the corolla, or so, i think so

brand new = i pick corolla
old used = i pick civic
as for the reliability, i think its about the same. but i do like toyotas more, but maybe its due to the fact that i worked there before =.=
(never worked on hondas)
fyi, i notice some GM parts on a civic. but i dont tihnk that matters

Civic costs a little more and probably more expensive to insure as well.

But it is newer and has more safety equipments than Corolla... and so much more expensive looking than the Corolla..

Civic all the way~ (though I think the EX is just rip-off. LX is much better value)

Either car is good for daily driving. Good gas mileage, relaible and cheap...

also the g can already run mid 13s stock and the hks intakes adds an estimated 10 extra hp and the exhausts add like 8 so yeah it should shove off about 1.5 to 2 sec off my times

companies build cars with a purpose.
each and every model represents the vision of what a ______ car should be.

corolla = toyota's econobox
civic = honda's econobox
sentra = nissan's econobox

get the idea?

..choose your flavour and be done with it!

I still think Toyota is the more reliable.
At least Toyota isn't infamous for 2nd gear grinds. lmao

yeah... ditto that. They're pretty much the same car. On the higher end of the econoboxes in price, great resale value, great reliability, efficient power to get you around, bland/simple styling, good mileage, etc. I prefer the Civic because it looks nicer IMO, so just buy what you think looks nicer or drives better from a test drive.

And I'm assuming this thread isn't a "which car should I get" type of thread... riiiight? Since so many ask about these two cars so often I will let it stay as a thread to differentiate these cars.
