CORRECTION: The Honda Civic only includes *2 years/24k miles* of complimentary maintenance, NOT 3 years. We apologize for the error, and appreciate you watching!
I love Toyota, but the Civic is clearly the winner here. Toyota seriously needs to step up their interior game. In nearly every class, their competitors look nicer.
They won’t. They re becoming the Japanese General Motors
Give them time. Toyota won’t even exist after some time
@@naveenthemachine Ehhh Toyotas not going anywhere anytime soon. It will take a lot more than a “dated” interior to kill them off
@@puffm696 forget the dated interior. Their build quality fit and finish, lack of space, lack of features, poor performance, sloppy handling, poor ride handling nuance, poor NVH, and it’s overpriced
Want a good interior? Buy a nice house. Unless you’re homeless then who cares about the interior?
@@moomer2675 when you sit in a corolla and then a civic or mazda3 you’ll immediately retract that statement
I’ve driven both cause my company owns a bunch of fleet cars. The civic is a more enjoyable ride if you are driving to have fun. On the other hand, if you are driving simply to get somewhere, the Corolla is a more comfortable cruiser type ride.
Who drives to have fun? Other than race car drivers
@@speaktruth247 you must have the right vehicle to get somewhere and have fun doing it
@@speaktruth247 A lot of people drive to have fun, it’s the same reason why you see so many enthusiasts cars and the same reason why so many people will buy something like a civic over a Corolla even though the Corolla is fundamentally the better everyday car with its reliability, smoother ride, and better gas mileage. I totally understand where you are coming from though, I used to say the same exact thing myself until I was behind the wheel of several sports cars and realized that your everyday commute can be so much more enjoyable with these sports cars and or sportier sedans. You either are into cars and you’ll underarms or you’ll never understand the purpose at all but just understand that there is a lot of people who actually care about driving something that would be more fun.
@@speaktruth247 Some of us with ADHD issues absolutely cannot drive a boring car. It is like torture. So Honda fills some voids Toyota leaves open, and likewise Toyota has its appeal because they are so focused on building reliable comfortable civilized transportation.
I ran into my Corolla because I needed a car in the worst way at the time and have since come to highly appreciate its reliability. At the same time, I added a couple of suspension mods to tighten up handling/steering and a stereo head unit to get some good quality sound while driving.
Now it's very satisfying for what it is and I plan to keep it until it wouldn't be practical to, which hopefully is a LONG, LONG way off.
On top of that though, I'm one of those "car guys". I have next level enthusiasm, and for that I pay the extra insurance to keep an old 5 speed Mustang on standby for when I absolutely have to have that next level fun to keep my sanity. Sometimes just shifting those gears, seeing the hood scoop in front of me and hearing the engine is enough.
Everyone is different.👍
@@speaktruth247I do. I drive everyday and love to drive. Gotta enjoy what you do even if it's just for daily drive not at the expense of your savings.
No regrets getting the Honda Civic Sport a month ago or so with the 2.0 L engine. Ride quality and MPG is spot on and love being able to fit in even tight parking spaces in town too. Super smooth for the most part and surprisingly all my stuff fits perfectly in the trunk it has. Took that thing all the way to Greenville SC and back without having to fill up gas in between. Toyota I like as well from my experience, but I think Honda outdid themselves with this for sure. I also really like that I can drive like a grandma in the thing but then drive up to 90 mph in not too much time at all.
I recently got the Sport model of the Honda Civic. It is a great car to drive and I can’t find any fault with it.
Good comparison I like how you did a point system and had the videos of the cars side by side. Good job man
Thank you! Glad you liked it 😁
Seriously one of the best comparison reviews I’ve watched. Love the split video showing each car side by side from various angles. Great job guys!
✌🏻😉✌🏻
Much appreciated! Thanks 😁
I also loved the split screen comparison
The refresh of the toyota is very nice and it makes choosing between these 2 cars a little challenging especially if we’re talking about them fully loaded. However i think ill choose the civic over the corolla. I like black on black combos and this civic does it well. And i also find the civic to be be more subdued in its front and rear areas and i like the cleaner look of the civic. Even though the headlamps on the corolla look more upscale than the civic. Not a deal breaker. I think the interior however, honda has the toyota beat. Yea the corolla got some tech upgrades with the new toyota interface, i find the civics sleeker dash layout to be more neat. Minus the screen looking like an after though. Though i do appreciate that Honda has given the civic at this price point a half and half set up gauge cluster vs the mainly analogue kind thats on the corolla. It reminds me of my moms 2017 highlander and even her gauge cluster looks more enticing.
I don't believe you could go wrong with either. We drove both 22 models and a few more. Corolla finish 3rd, Mazda 3, 2nd and the Civic ST came home with us. The biggest factor was the amount of interior space.
I bought the civic sport 2023 2 months ago and i can test through highway and city drive it is fun to drive the car plus the inside of the Honda is more of my type
You did a good job reviewing these 2 vehicles
I bought a 2022 Honda Civic 2 years ago and the only complaint I have is the road noise. I bought some after market sound deadening material and that helped. Love driving it.
Awesome 👌🏽 review 👏🏽 ...Glad I came across this video. Was hoping to purchase one of these by this coming week. My 1st choice was the Civic Sport 2.0. Your new subscriber❗️
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video and welcome to the Car Confections family!
Just bought a 2023 Civic Sport 3 days ago, love it! It is called black but looks Charcoal gray to me!! I did sell Honda's for a few years in the early 90"s so my whole family has Honda's
How is your car
And what’s mpg
How do you feel driving it daily is it comfortable
With sharp turnings ? I am planning to buy civic base model or corolla se hybrid
@@mr.unknown2595 I’ll answer this- I get 40 mpg on the interstate and around 34 in town. I’ve yet to take it on any long road trips but for a couple hours it’s pretty comfortable compared to my 2020 Camry I traded. It’s handled beautifully on the sharp turns here in the southern Appalachia Mountains, and overall drives really smooth. My only complaint is the road noise but it’s not a huge deal unless you like dead silence and aren’t listening to music or whatever. Pretty roomy too and while it obviously doesn’t have the room of my Camry, it comfortably fits my 5’9 frame and that of my teenage son just fine. Hope that helps!
Very helpful review, thank you 🙏🏼
Glad it was helpful!
I've been driving a 1994 Toyota Corolla for 8 years and it's been a very reliable car and very cheap to maintain. I'm planning on getting one of these newer ones eventually
Better question should be when is thr corolla, camry, Tacoma and 4runner going to have a redesign and not a refresh.
The corolla got redesigned in 2020 wdum
Camry will get redesigned at the end of this year and early in 2024
That's why they so reliable...
@@richardsanders3750 Each of them have recalls. I'm talking about toyotas.
I rented each for a couple of road trips. For highway driving, the Corolla was hands down the better car.
@astrofizzix i dont agree with you, i drove the new corolla of my friend a i dont like the ride of the corolla , it shakes a lot in the hiway, underpower. The civic is way a lot better ride and comfort. No wonder why it was the winner of the North American Car of the Year 2022.Corolla was ok but not compared to Civic
I would need to watch your video a couple more times just to decide ….but it’s a pleasure watching it👍
Thanks!
Why compare a hybrid vehicle with a conventional vehicle? Not only does that affect the price but possibly available options and available space.
I think either car is fine. I have a 2017 civic and has been the most reliable car with zero issues for the past 6 years. I can assure either car would be better than any sedan from any other manufacturer. And I can safety say both could reach 200k easily as long as stay up with maintenance. Will it reach 300k+ like the older ones? That remains to be seen.
I have a 2017 Nissan Sentra Advance MT with 210 thousand km, the Honda and the Toyota are not the only ones with durable mechanics
@@1PokerManI think he means 200k *miles and 300k *miles
@@1PokerMansorry bud. But you’re a lucky one. Sentras are known for how unreliable they are.
Just bought my civic this past Friday after having had a Camry since 2020. I’ve always owned Toyotas and still have an 07 4Runner in my driveway that I refuse to sell, Toyotas are just great vehicles that will run forever. That said, I kept seeing these new civics on the road and loved the look of them and frankly didn’t want to pay nearly 40K for an Accord sport. 😏 Is it a luxury vehicle? No. But it’s really, really nice and pretty damn roomy considering it’s a “compact” sedan. The seats are comfortable, drives great, technology is great and it’s a solid car for a single mom with a teenager who will get the vehicle in a few years, a kid just getting their license, someone looking to modify, or someone who wants a gas saver for their commute. Honda builds vehicles that have great resell and reliability like Toyota so you can’t go wrong, can’t go wrong with either!
I own a 2018 Camry XSE V6 fully loaded and lately I've been thinking a lot about the Civic. I love all the features my Camry has and for a 2018, it's really well equiped. Do you ever regret trading the Camry for a smaller less equiped Civic?
I got a Corolla as a commuter car and it’s so comfortable and drives like a dream. Loving it.
how much are the monthly payments
@@eeeveee9176they are only 25k dollars new for one that is chump change why even finance lol? Just pay cash on a car this cheap.
I found the corolla to be softer on the bumps, more cushy in general. It's not loud at high speeds either which surprised me. That sold me between the two.
The fact they both have CVTs sucks, but the Toyota has a physical launch gear which solves all the problems of reliability with CVTs. If you're looking for flat out reliability the Toyota will most likely win, but the Civic wins on almost everything else.
The Civic solution: Hatchback / 6MT. Mike drop...
@@gillesthibault429 yeah but if you deal with traffic a lot or if you have someone like my wife who doesn't care to learn to drive a manual then the Corolla can make sense to that type of person.
@@gillesthibault429...Hmm, not really because other people might need to use your car like your wife or kids etc. You don't think so but it happens.
Would the road noise on the civic be better if it had 17in wheels? Seems like the 18in tires have little sidewall
Yes Civic better and this corolla ugly asf its 2023 no one want to drive this ugly corolla
For almost the same price and you get a hybrid and AWD and Toyota reliability.....It's a no brainer.....Corolla all day everyday.....And my personal opinion is the Corolla looks better in everyway!
You can get a normal se corolla with the se premium package which gives you blind spot monitoring, heated mirrors and a sunroof and still be cheaper than the civic plus it has more power
As well as a real first gear to help with off the line accel
So not true I went car shopping today and I was undecided between the Civic and the Corolla there was only a $267 price difference and when I added the Military discount of $1000 off Honda and only $500 off Toyota plus Toyota had cheesy rim covers I went with the Civic with the upgraded paint plus the interest rate was a whole 2% cheaper. The dash in the Corolla was kinda cheesy too, looked like a 90's model which was disappointing. Bought a Civic Sport!
Oh and the dealership threw in heated seats as well as free lifetime oil changes and at 50,000 miles I will get a credit for $500 towards new tires or whatever I may want or need for the car, also along with the carpeted mats I got all weather mats, 3 days to exchange if I decide I don't like it, lifetime loaner car if my car needs over $300 repair and much more too much to mention. Was a no-brainer for me. Civic WON by a landslide. Oh and BTW I have purchased a new Corolla before as well as a new Accord.
@@fashionforwardmomthe se has alloy wheels
My SE has a moon roof but no wireless charging the inside is has white leather that makes it look amazing
Got a civic sport a few months back,I find myself wishing I got something with some more power
You should compare the 2022 accord to 2023 accord (hopefully the 2.0T model)
Good idea 👍
Test drove both of these cars and ended up getting a Mazda 3 instead. The ride quality and interior is far superior
Valid
I have only had Honda Civics for cars and they have been great, however, I'm under the impression that a Toyota Corolla would be a slightly longer lasting and lower maintenance car to own in the long term. I'd love to see an AWD hybrid Civic.
You are probably correct. The engine on the Corolla is simpler than the Civic's.
Not true. If you get the civic 2.0 it’ll last forever!!
They will both go forever but honda has better looks. Toyota seems like they got lazy on design 😂
No brainer because in every which way, Toyota, the number 1 world car maker, rules hands down = 2023 Toyota Corolla LE Hybrid for sedan; 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross 'S' Hybrid for compact C/UV; 2023 Toyota Venza LE Hybrid for MidSize C/UV; and the Ultimate of them all - the 2023 Toyota Sienna LE (8 seater) FWD With the LE Plus Package.
Yep, Toyota Rules👊
lol
Don’t you have to wait 3 years to get one though??
To us, handling is first and foremost. Honda Civic is our choice. We have 2 of our 3 cars as Civics (Coupe and Hatch Gen X).
I like this civic but can I trust the turbo on the higher trims? I’ve always avoided turbo but the trim level I am shopping includes the turbo which makes me hesitant
I'm rollin' with the civic. More sportier look, more room and the mods you can add to it.
you mod your civic?
@@Nucleus281 lol
By no means the Civic looks sportier than the Corolla 😂
@@darkruliertbh it does the Corolla looks like more of a mom car. But I’ve seen nice modded corollas too camry def looks sporty tho
I owned both Honda and Toyota cars. I take good care of my card and drive them long, as long as I can. And from my experience I would definitely choose Toyota.
I bought Toyota brand new and drove 188,000 miles in it never having any problems with it.
For my next car I bought Honda, and at about 45,000 miles it started losing engine oil. I talked to Honda directly, and they offered nothing, so I always had a quarter or two of engine oil in my trunk. Many years later, Honda announced a recall for that engine oil problem (!), but only for the cars under 120,000. At that time I had 125,000 on my car. All my attempts to point to them that my problem started at 45,000 and I reported it then did not get me anywhere. I quit on that car at 205,000 miles.
Such a well done and ultra helpful video.🤔😬 Can't wait to see more of these type videos. Who knew 40 years ago you could shop for a car like this?🤔🤯😜
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks 😁
I have only driven Hondas. 94 Accord, 02 Civic, 09 Civic and now a 22 CRV. I wanted the 22 Civic hatchback. At the end, my CRV was the same price. LOVE THE CIVIC. NEVER LET ME DOWN, EVER.
toyota is an old man's car
I choose the corolla for just being plain dope
I bought toyota corolla sports 2023 model, super nice comfort car, very good on gas, only thing i feel is honda covic sports does looks better, the other day my car was right next to black honda civic sport and i could easily tell that civic was looking a little better, but just to let you know the guy was complaining about the safety sense features, he said sometimes it doesn’t detects car on highways or it would just come to a complete stop which is a little risky especially when you are driving on highways.. if you could buy a 2017-2018 civic that is a lil better deal
Which car is best for fuel efficient
Toyota camry
honda civic
toyota corolla
honda accord
in gas only ? plz reply
I recently purchased a 2022 civic lx, and no regrets.
Do you have Sentra sv vs civic sport comparison ?
I just got this Corolla. I am really liking it so far but my only complaint is the stereo sound isn't that great. Is it possible to upgrade the speakers and possibly put an amp in these new cars? Will it void any warranty?
2022 corolla se safe my life from biggg accident I mean half of the car was gone but I got get out just fine I know it’s safe
Try using USB for music and the quality sound will improve. The sound from the phones is why it's not that great.
It will void the stereo warranty only.
100 percent possible to change speakers and add an amplifier and/or subwoofer. As for the warranty it will be void, but only if you take it in to have any work done on said speakers. However, It will not void any other warranty work from being done on your car, such as brakes for example.
Should’ve got the upgrade package with jbl, in the end would be much easier than a aftermarket system, jbl suppose to sound pretty good too
Your driving partner was a UK fan! Represent BBN!
You have to give the price point to Corolla. You chose the hybrid but the base SE is also available
8 years ago, I was test driving a civic, accord, Camry, and Corolla. I thought the Civic was a blast to drive. It was so much fun and I don't know why. I looked in the back and realized there wasn't much room for long legged grandkids. So I bought a Camry. A Camry is a great car. I traded in my Honda Accord which was a great car. I'm pretty much a Toyota and Honda fan. Sorry Ford!
Out of curiosity was the civic manual?
Civic hands down! That gap will only widen when Honda brings the Civic Hybrid over to the states.
The Civic is overall the MUCH more premium car!
It doesn't ride as well as the corolla , so it's not more premium.
@@MohammedJobori wrong. The civic rides miles better than any corolla period
@@naveenthemachine Keep taking your meds….😂
@@naveenthemachine definitely you haven't drove any of them. Fell sorry for you.
@@MohammedJobori I’ve driven the corolla. 2020 SE. hd it for a month as a rental. It’s the same car as the 2023 model. It was noisy, didn’t handle that great and wasn’t impressed w the safety tech
Forget about looks, when it comes to quality Toyota is undefeated and will outperform any car in its class, including the great Honda civic
It’s so crazy to me that civics are still considered compact. They’re bigger than full size sedan from 10 years ago
so true, they were the same size as the Accord with the 2.0 engine a couple of generation ago. The civic has grown up.
Dodge dart enters the chat......
I'm not fat I'm just big boned.....
Hey Car Confections I'm looking for some help figuring out which model corolla/camry and honda/accord comes with parking sensors on the lowest trim??
None of them will have parking sensors on the lowest trim
@@CarConfections thanks I meant more the lowest trim where it starts being available. It seems on the Corolla you can option it on the xse only but I could be wrong and on the Honda side I’m not sure which trim it starts being available
Always love the civic
One question how far away does the remote start work from?
Civic all the way just bought myself a Sport touring model😊
Why aren't you guys talking about that it's almost impossible to buy civic sport. And if the dealership has one they sell it $5-8k over MSRP. dealer mark up?
I bought a Civic sport at list.
Wow 26k and no bsm? My 23 Corolla le with convience package has bsm and was only 22,600...
i'm buying a corolla, but the interior of the civic is so incredibly nice looking.
Great job ! Civic all the way, picking one up this wknd for daughter. The Corolla mpg is tough to beat though.
The corolla hybrid? It’s very easy to beat it
The Camry hybrid? Prius hybrid all get over 50mpg and the Camrys significantly faster and more spacious. The Prius is also faster and gets better mpg
@@naveenthemachinethey mean compared to the civic obviously 🙄
Hey Drew/Mason!
There's no way I'm taking the numb-steering Corolla. How do I transfer Civic Touring's quietness into the Civic 2.0? Double-layer windshield?
I don't get why a hybrid model is being used as comparison from the toyota side, they have the standard SE model still available which I feel would have been a more suitable comparison.
I gonna choose both of these sedans bro.
They are both the best in their class and have better reliability by far than any other brand.
Can’t go wrong with either one.
My Honda hrv has a cvt and I have the sport so it has paddle shifters when I use them it doesn’t seem like I have a cvt and I love that lol but use them on the civicc
One more thing Corolla should get one more point for having more torque than Civic isn't it? I think having more torque is better than having more HP. Excellent video otherthan that. Thank you very much for this comparison.
I think it's only valid in theory, the Nissan Sentra has less hp and the same torque and runs the same or faster than the Corolla, and I won't even tell you about the manual.
Honda civic tecnología, belleza, confort, durabilidad total. Otra fragancia sin dudas.. El Corolla buen automóvil
I would pick the Civic
Should’ve compared the civic sport to the Corolla SE with a more powerful 2.0L 169hp engine
I'm normally a TOYOTA GUY. New Civic just look so much better more sophisticated more luxury more car for the $$$. Corolla just look cheap and toyish, I prefer the hatchback tho
Another factor for comparison is where they were manufactured. The ones that are manufactured in Japan generally have higher quality.
Aren’t they both built in the US?
@@VinceYuan My 22 Corolla SE was made in Aichi, Japan.
All hybrid Toyotas are MADE IN JAPAN!!!!!
@@ramonlepana4360 not really. For example, Toyota makes Camry hybrid in Kentucky…
@@jackliu6027corollas are different than Camry, also hatchback models of Corolla are made in Japan
Honda Civic is a great vehicle. But honestly the Toyota Corolla wins for what it is. It’s a bare bones commuter car built to save you money. The interior is good enough. 8 inch display is nice. You get the jbl sounds system for $600 more… but the biggest thing is the 50mpg combined fuel economy with the hybrid and 16 inch wheels. Also, the ability for AWD is also going to be a big point for many people which also hardly effects the fuel economy. The interior is basic yet it’s everything you need when buying this type of car tbh. And it’s solid. Not cheap feeling at all. And the new 3.0 safety system is fantastic for a car in this class.
I ended up getting the Toyota Corolla hybrid XLE (2023) with the jbl sound system and I am extremely happy with my choice. Great daily driver. I went to Starbucks today and managed to do the little trip on an average of 84mpg according to the gauge. I’m loving my choice!!! And I didn’t have to break $30k.
Took the a the civic for a drive nice ,but it was way to noisy , and the gas mileage compared to Toyota is a big difference
Hondas have always been noisy. Even our loaded 2014 v6 Accord has plenty of road noise, as well as the 2003 Accord v6 and our 1995 Accord we had.
Shouldn't be comparing a hybrid to a non hybrid car. It's basically a prius dressed up as a corolla.
I like the Honda Civic better but I don't care for the 1.5 liter engine because of the gas and oil dilution.
Get the 2 liter
Why do u switch to hybrid review when not listed in the title.
I am a Toyota mechanic and I own a 17 Corolla. I’ve got to give it to Honda, the Civic is way nicer to drive. But I do love the new corollas
2017 Corolla is very different from the latest 12th gen Corollas (2020-2023 Corollas). The 12th gen Corollas are much more fun to drive.
Toyota is junk. My mechanic told me to get something that is not toyota because they aren't that great.
@@maga6319 you're lying
@@braetonwilson4296 You always lie. That's why you're here sacrificing your livelihood to defend toyota junk.

Hey Guys.
I1m from Brazil and i will move to US in February.
I think a lot what car to buy, and found this great video. I want spend some like 30k car in US, I'm seeing Corolla, Civic, Canry, Rav4 and others.
Some one have good bets for my decision? I need a economic and safe car.
If you have a family get the Civic. If you are alone, Corolla. If you are alone and want a family get the Mazda 3. It's a girl magnet!!
Civic would cost more to insure,trust me
You are right.
Agreed, 100% plus price difference too.
I replaced my Corolla with a Honda Civic! I love the Civic!
Wow the new civic looks so good. Woulda got the Si over WRX if it they didn't mark it up so high
WRX is a nicer car than the Si. You are not missing out on anything but I am biased, I have a 2017 STI 😆
i went for civic ,, but its to noisy on hwy.. corolla is very quite on hwy
both great rides....but the corolla will last longer for 3 reasons.
1. honda has a turbo. you are forcing more exahaust back through the intake. over time that will cause carbon buildup and fouling.
2. honda has direct injection with no auxillary port injection like the toyota. this will also cause carbon buildup and fouling over time.
3. both have cvt transmissions, which have come a long way but longevity has historically been poor in general, but the toyota uses a traditional and patented 1st gear cvt which removes the majority of the torque stress felt by the cvt belt over its lifetime by decreasing the size and ratio range the cvt belt must operate in within its lifetime.
these things almost a guarantee toyota will remain the longevity king over time and if the owner wants to run these vehicles "until the wheels fall off" there should be no question of the winning vehicle for that particular consumer.
Bullshit, the cons of the hybrid system compensate cons of the Civic turbo it's even.
Hybrid has ecvt so its better than regular cvt.....Corolla all the way for reliability and longevity.....
@@ramonlepana4360 yeah the ecvt is just a planetary gearbox. very simple. my wifes rav hybrid has that
You lied. You can get the sport and the LX model without a turbo engine. But yes I agree. The turbo engine sucks I will never buy one.
@@jaysmith179 well i think i also lied about the injection....thankfully didn't take honda too many years to realize the carbon build up in the intake so they copied toyota and redesigned intake to have direct and port injection.
Bumped into this video exactly at the time of a dilemma I've been having.. thanks a lot for such detailed analysis.
Can you tell me which trims in both the versions have moonroof/sunroof options?
This is something you can't usually notice from a video review, but I knew the Corolla was substantially quieter than the Civic even before you did the sound readings. It was so obvious. That's often has been a weakeness of Honda's over the years - noisy cabins. If they could just pay a little more attention to sound insulation in their lower tier models no one could touch them. I wouldn't buy either for sporty driving dynamics. There are better cars for that. I would get one for a commuter vehicle and the Corolla wins that in my opinion.
Cross comparison to the video they test Civic Touring vs Mazda 3 confirm the Sport to be much louder than Touring.
It's 6 db different. Every 3 db is double the sound energy. Ouch!
Noise level: Mazda 3 (quietest) < Corolla < Civic Touring
@@Hexsense That's just crazy.
The Corolla hybrid has less road noise than the gas powered Corolla I think. I wish they would have compared gas car to gas car. This was kind of apples to oranges comparison. I am seriously considering the Corolla. I have had 9 Hondas and two Toyotas. All of them great cars.
For sport driving get type r of gr Corolla, both are supposed to have excellent driving dynamics
Damn if I didn’t personally drive the 2023 Corolla, 2023 civic sport touring, and Mazda 3 premium, I would’ve thought based off your comment that the civic cabin was incredibly loud and unbearable for a daily but that’s far from the case. It’s not a luxury car so it’s not going to sound like you are in a vacuum sealed chamber, you want that, grab a Lexus. It is however very quiet on the inside, could hardly hear anything from the outside world with the windows up and there was hardly any road noise. Is it louder in the cabin than a notoriously quiet vehicle like the corolla, yes. Is it loud on the inside, absolutely not.
I liked this comparison but I feel you short changed the Corolla on the interior. The Civic has no other charge port but the 2 in the front. It doesn't even have an A/C power port or charges in that huge storage area!! I mean come on Honda!!! So the folks in the back have to use a cable that screeches from the front all the wat to the back?? Meanwhile the Corolla has 2 rear charging ports and an A/C power port and and another charge port in the storage area. Honda dropped the ball with features like those, I guess they're living in 1990 still!! I'm am an owner of 2 older accords 96, 06 and I think Honda just keeps making their cars cheaper and cheaper!!
You just helped me pick a car. I was looking for a manual '05 VW GLS TDI, but they are all bought. My first car was a manual '05 corolla s, but I sold it to a coworker. I didn't enjoy driving it with so much stop-and-go traffic in my area. I've been stuck between Toyota and Honda because my husband has an '05 TL, and I wanted to keep our family in the "Acura Gang" (our uncle and cousin have matching Acuras haha). But this video helped me decide between two cars that are better for all-over driving (I don't want to drive an Acura too much-- I drive a lot).
Anyway, the cupholders got me. I HATE when cups are in my way while I'm trying to shift. HAHA, that sold me for sure. Along with the Honda's sound system, a more fun drivng experience, more cargo space, and the better backup camera. As an Amazon driver, it's helped me see the differences in backup cameras in regular vehicles. They really suck in comparison to our big vans lol. I really love the wheel color choice on the toyota, their seats looks extremely comfy and with that color scheme too, and I love the charging ports for the passengers. But I'll sacrifice the color, ports, and rear cupholders for the honda. Those aren't deal-breakers for me. The front cupholder was the deal-breaker I saw in the first 4 minutes of the video. Then I went on to watch the rest of it lol. Thanks for being so thorough and taking the time to do this.
4:50 - That's all folks! Honda's solid and satisfying door closing sound and the Toyota's hollow sheet metal enclosure sound,
I am a big fan of both Toyota and Honda......but Honda always have the edge over Toyota in everyway 👍🇹🇹
wrong honda has turbos that burns oil and more expensive
@@saadtheman1 Toyotas many common is fuel pump issues that they haven't fix. You fanboys are clowns.
Nicole R, Hondas always lose to Toyota due to trims.
Its a sham that in my area due to these ridiculous mark ups you cant find a Honda Civic hatchback sport for under 30K. Its very fustrating
Toyota is and will always be better cars to own and drive. Better quality, more reliability, better fuel economy and a longer lifespan. I will always stick with Toyota's and own them.
I have driven and owned both, and it's fair to say that they are great, reliable cars, no question, hands down.. but despite their awesome reputation, there is a line that separates them from each other. I am not comparing hybrids to gas, which is stupid.. because you can't compare oranges to apples.. it's a whole different segment.. I am basing my opinion on the base gas models... Corollas are very simple and easy to operate, and driving is smooth and reliable.. if you need a car that will get you to point A to point B, and will not worry about too much on maintenance and repairs.. you go for the Corolla. It's a no brainer for first car choice, or if you are gonna need a car to drive going to school or work every day. It has a new design that looks cool and will surely be trendy for years to come.
On the other hand, Hondas is all about handling and performance. Any gear head out there will definitely understand where I am coming from. That's why Civics are the most modified cars for racing.. just a fact. The new Honda interior is very classy and sleek. The exterior is very nice as well. Speed, 0 to 60, Hondas out runs corolla... again guys, these are all based on the base model.. I know some of you will start commenting that the turbo charged Corolla is faster than the Honda... we are not comparing turbos, hybrids and naturally aspirated engines against each other... just base gas models.
On turns, Honda conquers corner like a dream. Civics goes with you when you drive, it becomes you, if you love driving and the performance, then I would say go for a Honda.
I like Toyotas, but the current Corolla is garbage compared to the last gen civic, let alone this gen. Underpowered, loud road noise, and lousy driving dynamics. The only saving grace for the Corolla are it’s looks, driving tech, and hybrid option imo.
Naw. the driving tech and looks are far better on the civic
Most Toyotas now are garbage and I know that even as a Toyota owner
I like how there is so much false stuff in your comment lol... civic 2021 vs 2022 have no difference, second the video clearly shows the corolla having reduced road noise. I dont even care which car is better, but its jokes how some people can watch a video and learn nothing.
@@dymo7607 well different people different expirence. thats why he said that.
@@andreaescano9641 they used a sound meter though...
I would pick the Mazda 3 :D
cvt vs e-cvt is not to be ignore. e-cvt is completely different, and much more reliable. I would never go cvt, and rather get a manual or dct over those ticking time bombs. Anyway, I'm looking for reliability and economy so it's obvious which one I'm picking. But a civic estate with the same hybrid technologies? I wouldn't look twice.
You can't go wrong with either even if you bought one with closed eye's
I def prefer the interior and design of the civic. the corolla front looks too much like a Prius to me. It is to be noted the civic does have apple car play and navigation you just need to plug in your phone for all the same features.
I'd have to go with the Rolla. A massive 14 mpg advantage and a reliability advantage.
The Corolla has remote start via the key fob. You have to click the lock button on the fob, 3 times, holding down the lock button on the third click.
Which will also cease to work after the trial period ends, according to Toyota
@@CarConfections my 2020 Toyota Camry trial expired and I can still remote start the car w the fob
@@CarConfections How long is the trial period?
The Honda has it also. Doesn’t expire.
As does the civic btw 😊
wish the infotainment was in the dash like subaru
