They're both great. Corolla is small, boring and it's the last car you'll ever *need* to buy. The Civic is better, bigger, more fun, just not invincible.
Road noise is a big problem in the Civic. And why did Honda eliminate the engine TEMP gauge in the instrument cluster and replace it with an IDIOT light? Come on Honda, how cheap can you get?
Yes, I own a sport touring hatchback, and the road noise is definitely more prominent than it should be. Since I've got mine on lease, hopefully they can fix that issue with the hybrid civic this year. Other than that, great car 👍
The 2003 Honda Civic I hand down to my youngest sister...the car is still working. Honda lasts forever!

I bought this car three months ago and when I bought it, the rail under the driver's seat was shaking and apart from that, the stitches on the steering leather started to come off and there was a noise coming from the water inside the steering box and then my suspensions started making noise. I bought a new car and I don't even remember how many times I went to the warranty. I really had to deal with these. I don't know if I had to, I bought it because it was durable, but it doesn't make me happy these days, maybe it's just my luck.
Sport trim? Where’s the temperature gauge? Why is Honda doing away with the temperature gauge? They did the same thing in the 2024 Ridgeline and I’m sure the Pilot and Passport since the Ridgeline is based on those two vehicles. Why?
People who actually care about stuff like coolant and oil temperatures are probably going to install a digital dashboard like the banks power iDash, but I do agree it's dumb. I'm sure it warns you. My 2007 Chevy Impala overheated and told me to shut it off (water pump started pissing coolant) so I'm sure that no doubt it's gonna warn you in time.
Hondas of the 90s were their great days. Cheap affordable, fun to drive and great reliability. They had the value fun reliability down pat. Way too much money for a compact car with a CVT blah. Miss my old Hondas.
Honda excels in engine responsiveness, ergonomics, use of interior space and driving dynamics as compared to its competitors. Also I like how it packages its trims and keeps it simple for manufacturing as well as its customers.
For sure it's a bit pricier than competitors, but can't wait to hear how you guys feel about hybrid version, I own it for half a year now (Euro market), and once you try it out - all the comparisons against corolla/mazda 3 go out the window, hybrid is in a league of it's own...
Yeah, you can easily spend $5K more if you spec. out a Mazda. Thing is, that $5K gives you not just luxury options that no trim level of the Civic has, but also gives you a turbo-charged 4-cylinder engine that highlights just how _pathetic_ the Civic's turbo-charged 4-cylinder engine really is. Heck, the non-turbo charged engine on the Mazda 3 is putting out more power than the Civic's optional turbo-charged engine. Also, you get All-Wheel Drive on the Mazda for that $5K. You are easily getting your money's worth on the Mazda 3.
I had this car. It was so slow! All the left out Amenities. I got rid of it and went for the Touring Sport Hatch. Night and day difference. It’s way better.
idk why u get a 170hp car with a cvt and expect it to be fast at all, i’m getting one jus cause it’s a good gas saver and driving a modified v8 everyday gets pricey. don’t gotta be fast for me
It doesnt really compare, Corolla comes with more features for less money. Also found better materials like soft touch plastics vs hard touch plastics. but people like the driving experience of the Civic better
@@InvestWithAlex I traded in my 23 Corolla for a 24 Civic. Civic has sunroof, heated seats, and blind spot monitor which the Corolla lacked. Sure the Corolla had SXM on the radio and power seats but its far inferior in my experience. Not to mention the CVT transmission in the Corolla with the physical first gear is absolutely horrible and boring to drive. I am also getting 6 more mpg in the Civic. The Civic is a better car than a Corolla for a list of reasons.
@@odbza6655 I traded in my 18 Q50 and spent months comparing the Corolla SE and Civic Sport. I'm assuming you went with the touring trim for those extra features. My Corolla has blind spot monitoring and sunroof, which for comparable trim (SE vs Sport) the Civic sport lacked. I also liked how the door panel and dashboard were all soft touch vs the hard plastic on Civic. The Corolla has gotten me better MPG's and the physical first gear means less wear on the CVT. They're both equally slow, Corolla SE vs Civic Sport, SE was a bit faster. 0-60 wise. But I'm sure the 1.5t on the touring is much faster than the 2.0, but sacrifices maintainability (premium fuel, wears engine faster, etc) Overall I found the Corolla is a few thousand less for comparable trims so it gave me the better value. Styling wise I love the new Civic.
The 25 Nissan Sentra still offers a 6 speed manual in Canada and they actually keep a traditional hand operated parking brake unlike the Civic's electronic one. Paring an electronic parking brake with a manual is odd.
So they stripped everything in the interior? 90s Civics were prone to be stolen for over two decades or more, given their popularity with street racers and enthusiasts. Even bone stock based model civics were either broken into or stolen. Sorry to hear that. Did you end up getting another make and model car after the civic was stolen?
I used to own a brand new 2024 platinum white pearl 6 Speed manual civic sport hatch. The quality of the transmission left a lot to be desired so I no longer own it.
@@Lisa-ux4wp The engine was good, it is the bullet proof port injected K20C3 which is one of the main reasons I bought it new, the other reason was the 6 speed manual but Honda installed a crap 6 speed manual in the car and this was a major issue. It felt like shifting through a box of rocks which killed the driving experience. It either had bad quality or defective synchronizers. As evidence that Honda is going downhill. For the 2025 model year civics, Honda uses a new atkinson cycle direct injected K20C9 making 8 HP less than the previous K20C3 port injected engines used in 2024. The issue is that many of the 2025 Civics are under a stop sale status from Honda because of the high-pressure fuel pump recall. Honda cannot move/sell them off the lot (until they remedy this) to customers even if they want to buy them. They could just have kept the previous K20C3 from 2024 to avoid this issue.
My 2018 civic hatchback just got totaled. I was paid out and was looking to get a 2024 maybe 25 hatchback.. yeahhhh.. don’t know about that anymore. The 10th gens looked more aggressive and I loved the look, these new 11th gens just don’t have it. And to get what I had in my basic hatchback I’ll have to go up to a touring? Yeah you’re smoking dick hairs honda.
@@CatalystOfFire But the new K20C9 Atkinson cycle 150HP direct injected engines for 2025 are having issues with the high pressure fuel system. It is so bad that dealers can't move/sell them off the lot to customers, even if the customers want to buy them. Honda just keeps getting worse with quality control. They could have just stuck with the conventional otto cycle port injected K20C3 from 2024 and they would not have this issue.
@@abraham3981 that’s awful! I have come to really understand that this is absolutely not the K20 we thought it was. Half the engine is plastic, which… yeah. I understand steel tariffs have been bad for a while now, but I’d still rather have some type of metal.
@@CatalystOfFire Honda outsourced the High Pressure fuel pumps for the new K20C9s to Denso. Another weak link of Hondas is their A/C systems which on their newer cars have been giving up prematurely. Honda also outsources their A/C compressors.
I agree but sadly Honda's quality control on newer model years has gone down the tubes. I used to own a brand new 2024 Civic sport hatch with the 6MT which had rough shifting gearbox. I'm taking about shifting through a rock kind of feel during each shift specially 2nd and 3rd. It was so bad that the driving experience got horrendous. I had to trade it in.
Terrible interview of this Car... you Bad Mouth the Car.. oh' it's not the Type -R response as in Power.. you Forgot to Mention the Type-R is Double the Price..This Car is Fast without being in Sports Mode.. Its not All that Slow.& its still Close To 30K with finance 😐
I agree. It’s not as slow as everyone makes it out to be but it isn’t fast😂😂😂 do you use the paddle shifters? Can you get faster 0-60 with them or are they a gimmick?
@@natas12rm i dont use the peddle Shifters.. its Sport its fast enough.. the Cars are not cheap.. the faster ones cost More Money for Car & Insurance. Good take off power in tight places.😄
@@lilycat1694 Do your own search here on youtube. Plenty of previous generation accords and civics experienced, head gaskets prematurely blowing up, oil dilution and even turbo issues on the 1.5L Turbo. On top of that Honda's have been known to cheapen up on their AC systems so those tend to give prematurely as well.

I’m scared to see the prices for the upcoming hybrid considering how expensive these are already
I'm from Romania, bought the entry-level hybrid version of the hatchback Civic, it cost me the equivalent of $38.200. Made in Japan.

How is the acceleration and road noise?
@@bigpaps7696 acceleration might be best part, sub 7 secs is doable... road noise however is not the best - its a civic

Not being a hybrid shouldn't be a ding. That's your personal preference.
Even without all those features you’re still better off sacrificing those things than buying a Hyundai or Kia.
