    I recently traded my 07 Civic for a 2014 Corolla S. One of the primary reasons I traded was that the Corolla allows for easier access for the driver and the drivers position sits up higher than the Civic. As I have gotten older I find that ingress and egress are more important now and getting in and out of the Civic is considerably more difficult than the Corolla.
    The deeper cockpit and lower seat in the Civic made it more difficult for me and I find visibility in the Corolla much better. So in your review you missed those important features for older or slightly handicapped people.
    As far as horse power the Civic has what, 11 more hp! That may make a .004 difference on a quarter mile track but most people are not trying to set speed records so the difference is of no consequence.

      are you talking about 2007 Honda Civic model? How about comparing 2014 version of Civic, maybe it can allow same easiness in getting in and out as Corolla of the same year model?

      @TheReapersSon 10 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      I agree, and with those projector headlights the Corolla's exterior just looks more relatively upscale when compared to the Civic. The only thing I don't like is how Toyota decided to play into the nonsensical gaping carp-mouth look that too many manufacturers are applying these days. That's the only thing that mars the look of the 'Rolla, IMO.

    • @Confispect1
      @Confispect1 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I agree even though I'm getting the Honda I definitely am with you I seen one today at the gym and it was great. But the ride from Toyota vs Honda is borning vs near luxury I'll take the Honda.

  • @brocky
    @brocky 10 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I love these comparison reviews. One thing I hope you guys add is to mention the safety tests and their results for each vehicles. I think that's quite important these days especially for the type of people who purchase affordable cars like these. Just my personal recommendation on reviewing cars in these categories.. People are usually looking for reliability (will it last, safety), functionality (backseat space, trunk, head), and efficiency (mpg, drivability). All summarizing into affordability.
    I wish they had hatchback versions of these cars. I don't they the American market.

      @timothytaylor3286 10 ปีที่แล้ว +24

      I have owned both, and I spent more money maintaining the Civic than the Corolla. I sold the civic and the Corolla is still running with normal maintenance like brake, tires and oil changes.
      Civic = timing belt, needs replacement every 60K
      Corolla = timing chain, typically never needs replacement.
      At the end of the day, it's a matter of preference. And mine, obviously, the Toyota.
      Also had an Acura Legend and an Accord V6 cost me quite a bit of money to keep them running and the dash lights off. Both car ABS modules went out, then the Airbag module went out, each cost over $1,200 to replace.
      My Mom had Camry, other than oil changes, didn't have to spend anything unexpectedly.

  • @Sonic_1000
    @Sonic_1000 9 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I like em both, but I liked the CVT and looks over the Honda when I drove both. The CVT in the Toyota was programmed better and performed better in sport mode than the Civic. Both great, though for basic transportation. Not to mention the LED headlights were just great.

  • @AdrianC12345
    @AdrianC12345 10 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    What's very simple to look at is the Honda's vastly superior safety rating than that of the Toyota's. Though, that trend continues on to both brand's entire lineups, I would definitely choose the Honda because it's not a death trap like so many Toyotas are as well as being more powerful.

    I went with the 2014 Corolla S because I'm 6'2 and when I sat in the Honda Civic and adjusted everything then drove it I couldn't turn my steering wheel without it hitting my knees. The Corolla has way more room and the interior quality is excellent the drive is quiet and smooth and even tho the Honda has more horsepower the sport mode makes up for that! Overall Toyota is amazing! Hondas are very reliable and bullet proof but honestly so are Toyotas my friend has almost 400,000 miles on his Corolla and 243,000 on his Camry and it's still going strong. Anyways that's just my opinion, like the guy said in the video it's really about personal preference!

  • @00inwiththenew00

    I chose the Corolla. Better looking, included a lot of safety features, and the price was unbeatable; 17k for the LE model (albeit with steel wheels). I prefer the Corolla's "carp mouth" look. Meanwhile Honda's still rocking that underbite bumper which looks very 2000's imo.

    i got the honda and i love it. its true that its abit more expensive but its more than worth it. the look, the feel, the performance, and the style are just much better. right now i put tinted windows(4 in the back and 3 in the front, and will be tinting my windshield 1), I installed some HIDs(6k), and changed the inside map and dome lights as well as the trunk light to LEDs blue, and the license plate light to a frost white(since blue is illegal :( ) needless to say all my friends and ppl that see the car love it.

    The Corolla's twist-beam axle probably gives it the advantage in rear seat room and trunk space, but I prefer the Civic's independent rear suspension myself.

  • @segasaturn
    @segasaturn 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I am a honda guy for sure, but when I test drove them both, I had to go with the corolla s plus for two reasons, one I saved 4k on not buying ex l and corolla's seats were so comfortable I didnt want to get out. Now I feel bad because I love honda but it really comes down to what you prefer at the time and what is in your budget. They are both great cars. Honestly you can't go wrong with either of them.
    Before you judge you should really just test drive them both. I did and it was a hard choice. Keep in mind they are both better then kia forte and ford focus lol. I tested the mazda as well but because I never owned one before I didn't want to take a risk.

    I have a 2001 Honda Civic that I adore, but I wanted to upgrade from the 2-door to a 4-door. I really wanted a new civic but with the dual dash of the 2014 and 2015, I can't see anymore. It takes away MOST of my forward sight line. I was so disappointed. I was thinking about a Corolla, but this kind of talked me out of it.

    Just curious because every Honda I have owned, my average MPG is near (+- 2mpg) to the estimated highway MPG.

  • @Cre47
    @Cre47 10 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Long gone are the days of the Civic that was built mostly for speeders and immature teens. The Civic is much better than the ones even around the mid 00's and might consider this as first vehicle. Perhaps at first in around the 2010-2012 models instead of new from scratch, but Civic might be at top of my list. Though quite surprised at the low HP (132 and 143) for both

  • @MrKARLHUNGUS1962
    @MrKARLHUNGUS1962 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've had the corolla le eco for 6 mos, it gets about 36-37 mpg combined , you can have 2 full sized adults in the back seat who don't have to lick their knees, and I've carried 2x6x 12" lumber w the trunk open, no problem. Acceleration is better than expected and the ride seemed stiff at first but I grew into it. I could drive this car from NJ to FL without feeling uncomfortable and probably get over 40 mpg all the way. It was slightly below $19,000. Plenty of trunk space. I'm a large guy, 6ft x 240 lbs and this car fits me great. The Hondas go for about 3k +, why pay more? It's a sensible car, not a luxury or a sport.

    I absolutely hate the way Civic looks. After 2004 model, exterior has gone down hill for my taste.
    Corolla on the other hand looks more fun (finally) and exciting.
    However, since i am Toyota owner and sort of disappointing at how much they dropped down quality compare to older Toyota models, i would choose Honda. They are just built better and actually care about their drivers. Still, i would not buy Civic. I would rather spend more money and get Accord.

    • @aarontouch9852
      @aarontouch9852 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      PerfectceII This is a little late to say, but the 2006 and the 2011 model is the same (8th gen), you must be thinking about the 2012 model when it moved into the 9th gen. At that, I do agree, it became a lot more bulkier for my taste, but what do you expect? It has all the new built in technology.

  • @andrewdishman335
    @andrewdishman335 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Being from Canada and owning vehicles that all eventually rusted out. I will say paint quality and rust protection is key. I see more older Toyotas with no rust than i do Hondas. Mind you Hondas are definitely not rust buckets but they tend to rust quicker than Toyota from what I've noticed.

  • @Silverdeamon92
    @Silverdeamon92 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I thoroughly enjoyed this review/comparison. Was very informative and entertaining. Now I have to ask. How many major updates this Civic needs? The typical refresh occurs once in the model life of a car. This must be costing Honda a lot. The Toyota on the other hand still hasn't grown on me not sure if it will. Both these cars however, are equally compelling and it will really come down to personal preference.

    • @AdrianC12345
      @AdrianC12345 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Not equally compelling if you REALLY look into them. Just look at their safety ratings. Hondas score MUCH better consistently, especially in the Small Overlap tests...

    • @Silverdeamon92
      @Silverdeamon92 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      AdrianC12345 True but let be honest, most of those considering these two cars will most likely decide with their eye, heart, and pockets. Personally I think the Mazda 3 is most compelling relative to these two cars.

    It really comes in personal preference, and what you want, I have a Corolla S 2015, I like the exterior look then the 2015 Civic SI, and yeah ( my first choice was the Mazda 3 GT ), too !! but ended up with this Corolla S upgrade version, because I heard a lot (friends) of people saying bad things about Mazda's, not that reliable and lots of maintenances !!! ,, Anyway, Toyota did a amazing job on both in and out design of 2014 and 2015 model and the driving is very smooth, I just needed to go from point a to b and a good gas mileage car, not a fast car to go from 0-60 in 3 seconds ,, No, need ,,if you live a city, How fast can you go !! ( Police everywhere ) Just enjoy the car ( Corolla , Honda , or Mazda 3 ) all 3 cars are great

    Just for the Honda guy to know that the reason the Corolla has paddle shifter is because the Corolla has a sport mode that makes the cvt simulate a 7-speed transmission ,so there is a reason.

    I have a 2014 Civic EX. A few months back I drove a 2020 Corolla from Enterprise. I wouldn't trade for money. The interior comfort and feel of the Honda is much better, and while the drive was nicer in the Corolla, it's much easier to pass cars on the highway in my Honda. That's a big deal for cars that struggle with passing power.

    I have driven both model of cars for extensive periods of times so am able to assess the two: the Corolla is more poorly put together with loose panels and just not a solid feeling. The Civic is far quieter and feels even more buttoned down than the 9th generation Accord (which I have). Neither are speed demons but the Civic has a less coarse engine. MPG is better on the Corolla by about 3-4 mpg overall. Corolla has a lot more back seat room BUT it comes from the dash board being very short, near the firewall, which is sort of weird - if you've ever sat in those Japanese Toyota Crown Comfort's (they are taxi's all over Japan - go google it) then it feels like a derivative of one of those rather than from the Corolla lineage. Driving hundreds of miles on the highway for each, I felt fatigued (noisy, jittery) and sore (rougher riding) with the Corolla but fresh and fine with the Civic (quieter, more insulated and softer). Overall,. I'd spring for a Civic if it were down to the two without hesitating as it would be worth the extra few bucks. Then again, I'd give serious consideration to the '15 Fit instead...

  • @willillybab6425
    @willillybab6425 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Look at the hood of the Corolla vs the Civic. They raised the hood (and the dash) of the Corolla so much that now it makes it harder to see the road compared to that of the Civic. If I was a shorter person I would pick the Civic for better forward visibility.
    I drive a 2006 Corolla and the old model has a lower dash/hood, so visibility of nearby cars while parking in tight parking spots is great, but when I sat in the new Corolla model I found I had to raise the seat up to its maximum and still visibility was awful (I'm 5' 9'' tall). Plus, the roof was lower so the rear-view mirror was right in my line of sight when the seat was that high = just a horrible mish-mash of design styling. Civic is MUCH better.

    Just bought a 2015 civic and I'm 6feet tall and when i sat in the 2015 corolla driver seat my legs were still buckled the civic has way more room for taller people... Look how the guy sitting in the corolla his legs are still buckled and the guy in the Honda are not. And you can see how the guy says that you have more room in the back of the corolla but said nothing about the front cabin.. For me its the driver thats suppose to be most comfortable I even sat in the back oh my car an still had room to move around Civic is the way to go for taller people IMO..

    • @ChuiStrong
      @ChuiStrong 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      And where would they place the screen for the left side camera? At the center console?
      You're changing lanes to the left and you're looking at a monitor on the right...
      That is why they didn't include it on both mirrors. It is a safety hazard regardless of how well the lane watch functions appose to the mirrors.

    • @RealtimeReviews613
      @RealtimeReviews613 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Its the same thing. Camera on both mirrors so u can look at the monitor when changing lanes.

    • @ChuiStrong
      @ChuiStrong 10 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      It was a rhetorical question.
      Okay, look.
      Let's say HYPOTHETICALLY, that Honda does put a camera on the left side mirror using the same monitor.
      You, as a driver, want to change lanes to the LEFT. As you are changing lanes, you are looking at the monitor on the RIGHT.
      Please, tell me that you realize how that can be a safety hazard.

    As someone with a CVT with paddle shifters let me explain why they are great. No, it doesn't help with racing or anything like that but the ability to hold a ratio on long grades and override the cvt programming when merging onto a freeway is very convenient. The CVT not shifting or having any gears has zero to do with offering paddles. Auto media bitched at honda for years for not offering a manual shift feature to their auto trans as the feature became popular on other brands. Now they offer it and auto media bitches about the need for the capability...

    Corolla does not offer leather. Toyota sells something they call Softex which is phoney leather. The Toyota cruise control doesn't work under 50 MPH. The Toyota nav system can't be changed while the car is moving which means that if you're traveling with someone and want to change the route, you have to stop the car.
    No contest...Honda has much better features.

But it is beautiful inside. Honda is a better brand BUT for me the corolla IS spacier and beautiful on the outside.. As much as I want to say that the Civic is the winner.. idk but for me Corolla takes it this year. It has really stepped up.

The highest I've gotten it round-trip with a brand new tank of gas about 60 mile each way was 43mpg at around 68 mph.

    I dislike the CVT on the Civic. It works well with the Accord but the smaller 1.8L displacement has that lagging transition before it get going. It kind of remind me of my old 2007 Nissan Sentra with CVT. Stick to the 2013 5spd Auto.

    I am a honda faithful and my parents lived in the era of vtec with high reving 4 's amazing reliability and sporty driving dynamics even in the plain Jane cars, but after test driving the new 2014 civic I will never buy a honda again. Driving the civic 's cvt was annoying. Merging onto the freeway it didn't seem as though it could even get out of its own way and the engine was saying I'm ready to go and rev but the lazy loud cvt wouldn't let it rev past 5000 rpm even at full chime, letting the engine drone on and sound as though someone was dying under the hood. It was loud if you couldn't tell, like to the point of not being able to talk with the person next to you. Yes I know reving a car that high isn't good but you have to get the power from the engine and Hondas are Known for reving strong to redline if you could even get there with this car. All and all if you want a coffee grinder with nuts and bolts in it and love to hear people dying under the hood of your car a sound that will last forever if you could even stand driving the car for that long buy a civic with a cvt automatic in any trim level because it is still there even when you spend 25000 dollars for an exl civic

    I'll bet Toyota got that CV style design for the new Corolla from Hondas latest design of the Civic since the' 13 Civic was KOing the' 13 Corolla and that the' 14 Corolla may be roomier than the' 14 Civic with a few additional features that the Civic doesn't have that the previous Corollas didn't have before, plus the new Corolla now gets the same exact gas mileage as the latest Civic, because the old Corollas weren't as roomy, or as smooth, or as comfortable as the' 13 Civic was, plus the' 13 Civic had a lot more bells and whistles, had more horsepower, and still managed to get better gas mileage than the' 13 Corolla, so now Toyota is trying to boost competition with Honda, but I'm sure Honda will upgrade their Civic with more and newer features that the new Corolla doesn't have the next time Honda redesigns the Civic and the Civic will probably top the Corolla again, but I'll bet you that the' 14 Civic still has a better resale value than the' 14 Corolla has.
