I was actually looking at these two cars for my wife and after seeing that the civic was superior in the small overlap crash test I got my wife the corolla.
I’ve had 4 Honda’s throughout my life, they are the Best! Just a few months ago I passed down my “2005” Honda Civic to my 16 yr old son. It has only 150k Original miles & we have Never had any problems with it. Of course the expected maintenance requirements bt it runs as well my 2015 Civic Ex except a little more cabin noise. Even the paint has held up amazingly on the 2005. No major repairs called for. These cars last nearly forever as long as you kp up your scheduled maintenance. I will say I was recently in a vry serious accident in my 2015 Civic. I was stopped & waiting to make my left hand turn when out of nowhere I was hit, Hard, by a Semi Truck who never even applied his brakes. My car felt like it flew through the air, it finally came to rest at 160 ft from where I got rammed. I was knocked unconscious bt when I awoke I looked in my rear view mirror, the Semi landed up int my back seat. I’m so impressed that my car (and God) kept me safe in what cld hve easily been a fatality. I jst recently went & bought another almost identical to my original. The trim is different. My other was an lx & the one I jst bought is an ex. I Loved my lx! I did test drive a few corollas, I wanted to love them bt I still choose Honda everyday over the Corolla. Not knocking the Corolla. I hve no doubt these are fantastic, safe & reliable cars.
I love how Mazda owners always jump into discussions about Toyota and Honda. Look people, the Mazda 3 and Mazda 6 are probably more fun to drive than their Toyota/Honda counterparts. That being said, NONE of these cars are "sports cars" or meant for racing. People buy these cars for reliability, re-sale value, safety, gas mileage, and THEN fun. If you want a car that zips around with authority, spend some more money.
But mazda is in the same class. The mazda 3 & 6 aren't 'sports cars' either. The 3 competes against the civic and corolla and you get a better 'bang' for your buck. FYI I'm not a mazda owner but I think there's better options than Toyota and honda, American consumers are so brainwashed
TH-cam Aneesh SO true we got the Toyota Corolla 2015 sedan one for gas, air conditioning and milage. Its awesome so far. But we have not had it one day yet. We are taking our first trip with it next month.
Mazda 3 gets better MPG, only car to get the ihs top saftey pick+ in the compact car segment, has more horsepower than either the Civic or Corolla, and isn't boring to drive.
It's January 2019 and I bought my son a Corolla SE, back in 2015 I purchased the Civic EX-L for myself and we love both. The Civic in EX-L trim is a luxury sports car and the Corolla is good everyday dependable transportation. Whichever you buy you win!
first car ever was the 2015 corolla LE and to this day its the best car ive ever had. Never had any issues or had to get it looked at. Never had any problem when it comes to space or anything, and for a compact car it actually has a TON of room. We owned a 2014 Honda Accord for a time and the corolla had more leg room in both the front and back seats than the Honda.Even tho i don't drive it currently i gave the car to my little sister who loves it and STILL has not experienced a single problem.
I've driven both the Corolla and the Civic. I personally like the Civic better, and I haven't looked back at all. The ride was smoother to me, and the civic's offerings appealed to me more. I hear a lot about the civic's exterior but really? im glad it's not a typical vanilla looking car. However that doesn't make Corolla any less of a car. My thought from the get go was either a Toyota or a Honda for reliability and resale value.
I'll take the Civic, hands down... Way more technology, way more reliable, way more efficient, way more easy to live with... Specially with the regular headlamps... Those LED lights in the Corolla are cool, as long as they dont decide to not work properly. I personally see the Civic more stylish, elegant and mature. The Corolla is still too "loud", like always needing to call the attention with flashy and busy stuffs, while the Civic calls the attention with the beauty of simplicity... With its performance, the functionality of its design and its sleek elegant yet sporty lines... IMO.
+prettyrickyd47 well, I am an Honda owner since years ago, and I have also owned cars from other brands, and I can say that a Honda is way more reliable than a Toyota, especially new Toyotas... I am not a fanboy, as I said, I have owned other brands, I actually own a Hyundai, that has been a good car for 10 years, but nothing beats the reliability of my CR-V 2000, the Civic 1984 That I had (I sold it) and my Civic 2015... I have driven many Toyotas, none of them have impressed me since 1995...
+prettyrickyd47 Not for me and not for many more car owners... Learn something about those "statistics", Toyota WAS really good and reliable in the 90s, they keep enjoying that fame now because the huge amount of units they sold by then, and as a result, many of them are still running and those are the one that makes the numbers, not the more recent purchase... Another brand extremelly reliable is Subaru, but you dont see much about those numbers because that car is not too popular... You can also add the Toyota marketing on media... Just consider this, what car manufacturer can be so reliable that was risponsible of the major recall in the cars industry history, with fatal victims, bigger than the Bridgestone tires Ford Recall in the 90s? Toyota is now a brand with a fame built in the 90s, but with models and technology that cant back up that fame anymore... Those are not bad cars, but they are not as good as they used to be. In my opinion, the only good line up from Toyota is the Land Cruiser... Besides that, they are just overpriced and overrated.
Went for the Corolla with the S Plus package. I like the blend of comfort and sportiness. The LED highlights, sport button for enhanced performance and aggressive look including the great 17in tires/rims were a win.
Both are amazing cars! I would personally go with the Civic for the blind spot camera, the more futuristic dashboard and I prefer the looks of the Civic.
I’ve had two Honda’s loved them so much I have to agree more powerful and quieter cabin but I’m obsessed with the look of my new corolla. I felt like a trader going Toyota but I’m glad I did I got a much better deal and I’m happy!
I had a choice between a black 2015 Civic SE or a red 2015 Corolla S. I choose the Corolla and never regretted it. Amazing car and within 3 weeks, I had put over 500 miles on it.
I had that same choice between 2015 Civic and corolla. I chose a black Honda Civic EX and to this day, I'm still satisfied with it. Never regretted it at all and same goes for you and your Corolla. Goes to show that Civic and Corolla are the top selling sedans to date and are the best in fuel economy and efficiency. Plus all the features anyone could want in both vehicles!
I own a 2016 Corolla S Premium. It's a great car. I live in Texas and see so many of these cars around. Hardly see any civics. There's a reason why the Corolla has a longer history than the Civic. They are popular around the world. I'm proud to own one.
+rocker1821 The Corolla a joy? Not in my opinion. I've been driving one as a rental for two days since some old lady rear ended my 2014 Impala so it's being repaired, and I cannot wait to give this tin can back to Hertz from whence it came. It is noisy, squeaks, can't get out of its own way, is full of cheap ass hard plastic materials as far as the eye can see, and the seats are killing my back. My 1995 Maxima is a nicer car than this pos Corolla I've been driving. I can honestly say I am puzzled by the Corolla's popularity, as to me, it's just terrible. Oh, and the fake molded stitching was a nice touch, Toyota. Just laughable.
I sold my 2010 civic and just bought a corolla and I love my new car. It's just like a smaller version of a camry. Both good cars but I drive alot, about 20k miles annually and the civic seats hurt after a few hours. Toyota s always have more comfortable seats.
In this comparison I would choose the Corolla. Over the years it has ranked slightly better than the Civic in reliability, it's cheaper, it's roomier, it's comfy, and LED headlights. I test drove both and the Civic was my first choice but when I read the Corolla is just a better deal I'd much rather have the Corolla.
I actually got the civic over corolla cause I think it looks and drives better. I had a '13 corolla and that was honestly going to be my LAST toyota ever. it was just SOO boring. Worst mistake of my life.
Just test drove both these cars in the past week. My one gripe about Honda is the touchy gas pedal. If you are at a complete stop and press hard on the pedal it skids and jerks where as the corolla will just smoothly accelerate.
My wife and I went car shopping recently and test drove both. The Civic has a much smoother ride and quieter cabin. I like the exterior look of the Corolla better
My girlfriend recently got the new Corolla and it's a great little car. We liked it so much with didn't bother to look at the Civic, even though i'm generally a Honda person. What I like most about the Corolla is the interior. Everything is laid out very nicely and I love the horizontal design. And wow the space. This car has tons of head and leg room, its ridiculous. I drive and mid-size accord which is a bigger car but it doesn't feel like it has as much space as the Corolla.
There are basically saying they are exactly the same, and to each his own! And I totally agree, at this point it all come down to your preference! At the end they both do the job just fine!
Agreed. I never thought I'd here myself say this, but the new Corolla has a lot more.. soul. I test drove one, and that sealed the deal. I'm getting one soon!
I have a 2012 jetta and it's the biggest pile of crap I have ever had the misfortune to drive. I have the SE with convenience and sunroof and besides the heated seats in the winter I hate everything about this car. Its a lease and 2015 can't come soon enough.
thebluexanadu78 After my experience with VW I don't plan on ever getting another VW. So trading it early is out of the question. I could honestly write a college thesis on everything that sucks about this car. I've just never had such a bad experience with a vehicle.
I own a 09 Civic LX and in less than 5 years the paint on the roof have started to fade and turn white, the front side panel paint have started to crack and the trunk is also fading. It is so well spread that they have issued a paint warranty extension to some owners, but many do not know about them. Because it isn't a safety problem they are not required to fix it for you but who wants to drive a car with faded and cracked paint? There are cars much older that don't have this sort of problem. Needless to say I will never buy another Civic nor another Honda for that matter.
Not true. only the modifiable outdated Civics from the 90s get stolen. carjackers aren't interested the newer models from recent years as they aren't as easy to customize as the older ones.
After years of owning small Chevys I recently bought a used 2015 Civic LX and couldn't be more happy. I love the manual transmission. My mother in law and cousin own and have onwned Corollas have swear by there reliability however I find the interior small for me. Yes the Corolla might have comfy seats but at 6'5" I found this model of Civic to be way more roomy inside.
i used to work for a roadside assistance company as a dispatcher....yup those Corolla aren't great cars at all (a lot of electric issues) its rare i get a Civic call. so i decided i wanted to get a new car...i first checked out the toyota because i feel like the carolla interior is much better than the civic...which it is....but i did NOT like the drive of that car...it felt slow and not very peppy and didn't drive along windy roads well. so i decided to give the civic a try and the dash i found more appealing than the Corolla and way more peppy and the civic hugs curves like a pro. i do feel the civic interior is made by a grandma and the front lights are a bit out-dated. after much consideration my Civic won me over. i do a lot of hill driving and this baby handles very well. i would my biggest disappointment is the sound quality from the speakers...where's the bass? #teamCivic to each his own....but if you looking for a recommendation i would definitely say Civic.
I like the civic only because of the lane watch assist, but thats it. Besides i have read many complaints about civics false mpg. Many people report 22 mpg in city and 29 on highway. Thats why im going with a corolla and its better interior plus mpg.
Before buying our 2015 Toyota Corolla we went to Honda to look at their cars. But there weren't any workers around so we went to Toyota. We have paid off our 2015 Toyota Corolla Le Sedan a few months ago.
I just bought this 2015 corolla today it very nice car they wanted to deliver ne that car today but I told them tomorrow because it will take time to services and tags and I was getting late for my job but it's nice car
I bought a '14 Jetta after I test drove every car in this segment and I couldn't be happier after 1 year. I was sold on the 1.8T which crushed every other engine I test drove, especially Corolla. Also, anyone complaining about materials in the Jetta, other than maybe a Mazda3, they are basically comparable to every car in this class
yoyoluc You see, there is the problem with the current Jetta (A6) when you say it (the materials ) is comparable with all the others in its class. VW Jetta was always the superior car for quality of materials, build and design in the past. This new Jetta is shocking. Cheap hard plastics everywhere. The door trims are a joke. Compare them to the Jetta A5 or the Jetta A4 before that and you can see the decline. Back then none of the other cars in this segment came close to a Jetta. A Jetta used to be good German engineering and class leading materials and finishes. You paid for it, but it was worth it. Now, I would not waste the extra money on a Jetta, when as you say, you can have a Mazda which is better. God help us all!!! LOL
I have driven both extensively. Love both. The corolla has more legroom in the back and comfier seats overall. Hard to nitpick much else. I also have a 4 year old meaning the car seat for the seems to fit nicer in the corolla but not to say you couldn’t put it in the civic. I know it’s a weird thing but if you’re a dad but still want a compact sedan...there you have it
civic beats the crap out of toyota becuase its better in every way hands down or all the way its the best car to drive toyota is following honda's footsteps wich is cool
2 of the best brands and models in the world for reliability, efficiency, practicality and affordability. Really just comes down to if you are a Toyota or Honda "person". Hard to go wrong with either of the 2 top selling vehicles in the world. They sell as well as they do for a reason.
ex Toyota technician here. the corolla and camry seat supports give way to metal structure and of course the honda manual transmission is better I don't know anyone who would pick a Toyota trans over honda.
I've driven a 2015 Toyota Corolla LE-Plus for 4k miles. There are things I like, like the new interior and illuminated guages that are big and easy to read. However, the car does not track as well as my 2006 Corolla - it seems to wander a bit, and it feels like it's going to roll when going around curves at speed - also, I don't like the CVT transmission. It always seems like you're starting out in high gear, and you don't get instant torque if you want to take off quickly. If you try, the engine over-revs, and you don't get power. It also over-revs if you start out on a hill. When it over-revs, it's noisy. It really needs a low gear. If I could have the old 4 speed auto trans back, I'd be happier.
I would choose Toyota out of any car at the moment as for I have had two Toyota's in the past and they never die! my 04 sienna has well over 400,000 kilometers and it has never been in a shop once except for oil changes and tire changes. Same goes for the lexus. It only has 200,000km on it but it also is running strong, problem free. If it was not for those reasons I would probably give mazda a go. They look cool and get great mileage.
I've done some research since I posted this and here in Mexico the only version that it's worth the price is the S plus and there's no LE Eco here yet :( I'm in a big dilemma now haha, thank you for your answer though.
Well i i tried both civic and corolla... They gives the same fuel economy at least for me.. but the civic is less stable during driving and the rear seat space is smaller thant the corolla...the only advantage that the civic might have is the camera in the right side which i never use....people say corolla is borring...i believe they never used the paddleshifter on it
The Civic, Corolla, Mazda 3, Jetta & Focus are all good choices for a car in this class. You just need to decide what is more important to you. For me, it's about safety, handing, then gas mileage, comfort, and looks. If you want reliability, get a Honda. If you want a fun car to drive, get a Mazda. If you want a car that has great looks and styling, get a Ford Focus. If you want good engineering and European design, get a VW Jetta. If you want a car to get you from point A to point B, and has some style, get a Toyota Corolla. Currently the top safety pics are VW Jetta and Mazda 3. Honda Civic did very well also, as did Ford, but I scratched the Corolla off my list because it did not get as high ratings, although I think the new Corolla is much nicer than the previous one.
Just to correct a few things: Toyota has higher predicted reliability than Honda (check consumerreports). Always has. The 2015 Corolla also got higher marks on safety than the 2015 Civic: it got 5 stars in all categories except for Rollover, where it got 4 (how the hell you roll it over is beyond me). Civic got a 4 for Rollover also as well as a 4 on Frontal Crash Test.
My 1996 corolla was good car,my 2009 is a POS.Bad ignigtion coils/electrical issues,my CB joints are leaking(both),rear window not closing all the way now(it goes up then drops 3/8 inch)etc..at 76k miles it's already costing me too much in repairs.
the best civic looking and performance is eg coupe, ek sedan,ek coupe(ek9) and the last is civic generation 8 civic fd(not euro type like fn or lx).. search civic fd type r and look the design..so awesome and sport until now..the civic fd type r generation 8 win against fn euro type r generation 8..poor euro get civic fn..asia get civic fd
does the corolla have the same steering issues as the civic? I have a 2015 Honda civic and it's impossible to steer straight on the freeway... been through 2 sets of tires and 2 alignments with no improvement. I think Honda dropped the ball on their electronic steering setup. really dangerous to be wandering all over on the highway imo...I hate this car due to its lack of handling!
Right now i'm looking to trade in my garbage 2012 ford focus for one of those 2 greats cars. I tried the Toyota and the Honda and both are excellent. The Honda has more technologies and lot more gadgets inside and the Toyota is more class in my opinion. I see the civic more as a ''cool'' car and the corolla more as a car for man. The visibility in the corolla is better for me than the civic, but again the civic is more fun to drive because of the gadget and light etc... All is a question of priority, my choice is the Toyota corolla.
honda its the best thing you can have man honda civic is mi life i love hondas its my thing and its also has more power than all of the corrollas they have and yeah the honda doesnt have to much fancy bumbpers and all does stuff but you can buy it Honda its the best car ever not even a mitsubishi evo X can beat us
MAIN reason to by the civic: A NICER BLUE COLOR. While you can buy a blue Corolla, it's only on the sport model and its sort of a PURPLE-BLUE, while the civic has a much nicer and less-purple blue color. So that's about the only real reason to buy a Civic = nicer blue.
I have a 2007 nissan sentra which I currently love but it has seen better days. I am looking into getting a newer car and cant decide if I want a Corolla, Civic, or another Sentra >.
the new 2016 Civic has more technology than the 2016 Corolla - hands down. ANd it is CAR OF THE YEAR. thank you very much. More Beautiful ? the Corolla? baaaa haaaaa haaaaaaa. they are so ugly. Big mouth & no styling
Its his Opinion On the Toyota Corolla 2015, and I bet your a Honda Fan That doesn't want people Using Toyota Cars, There Both Good Cars, And There the Best Selling Compact Sedans,
That's one of the dumbest things I've ever seen said... Just because it's Toyota means it's gas mileage is better than all other competitors? Wake up, that's not reality.
I was actually looking at these two cars for my wife and after seeing that the civic was superior in the small overlap crash test I got my wife the corolla.
lol
Lmao
should have bought a smart car.
lol
Wow
I had over 5 Hondas in my life and I just sold my last 1998 honda civic with 450.000 miles. And the guy is still driving it.

And I wouldn't' touch any of them because they are all front wheel drive. More efficient,yes, but cheaper technology.
Mazda 3 gets better MPG, only car to get the ihs top saftey pick+ in the compact car segment, has more horsepower than either the Civic or Corolla, and isn't boring to drive.

respect to both cars, Toyota is really nice but Honda engine has a lot more power,more fun to drive
Lol it's just 3 hp less I'm sure the average consumer cant tell the diffence
Yeah, but the civic won't last 200k kilometers.
@@JecuskyGarrett yes it will… tf? It’s a honda….
Exactly..you said my mind.

I'll take the Civic, hands down...
Way more technology, way more reliable, way more efficient, way more easy to live with... Specially with the regular headlamps... Those LED lights in the Corolla are cool, as long as they dont decide to not work properly.

Two of these car are both reliable. Better than the Sentra, Mazda 3, and those Korean cars.

some awesome commentary there mate!
The standard backup cam, the 'normal' behaving CVT and a pleasant salesman had me pick the Civic!
They are so close matched it comes down to your personal preference really. #Civic
I’ve had two Honda’s loved them so much I have to agree more powerful and quieter cabin but I’m obsessed with the look of my new corolla. I felt like a trader going Toyota but I’m glad I did I got a much better deal and I’m happy!

8th gen. Civic LX-S all the way. Classy styling that won't look dumb in ten years and awesome standard equipment.
Civic !! Better design , more technologhy , awesome standard equipment and i loove the flat floor for the back seats
Civic > Corolla
oh Micah, no mention of the Civic's rear folding arm rest, or Corolla's rear leg room advantage? How did the trunk space compare? Thank You

icantw8 If buying a Corolla was the worst mistake of your life, then you're golden.
Just test drove both these cars in the past week. My one gripe about Honda is the touchy gas pedal. If you are at a complete stop and press hard on the pedal it skids and jerks where as the corolla will just smoothly accelerate.
both great cars but I decided the corolla sport its much nicer looking
My only issue is that cvt. I road tripped a 2014 to Yellowstone and could not pass a relatively slow going semi uphill.
Never had problems uphill with my 2015.
As a Honda owner, the transmission doesn't last. Toyota all the way!
My wife and I went car shopping recently and test drove both. The Civic has a much smoother ride and quieter cabin. I like the exterior look of the Corolla better
but who has to hand over the dough
My girlfriend recently got the new Corolla and it's a great little car. We liked it so much with didn't bother to look at the Civic, even though i'm generally a Honda person. What I like most about the Corolla is the interior. Everything is laid out very nicely and I love the horizontal design. And wow the space. This car has tons of head and leg room, its ridiculous. I drive and mid-size accord which is a bigger car but it doesn't feel like it has as much space as the Corolla.
+hardcoremeri Totally a girls car though. I never see guys driving them....for good reason. Guys are smarter and get the Civic!
There are basically saying they are exactly the same, and to each his own! And I totally agree, at this point it all come down to your preference! At the end they both do the job just fine!
For me, Corolla looks better in both interior and exterior.
Agreed. I never thought I'd here myself say this, but the new Corolla has a lot more.. soul. I test drove one, and that sealed the deal. I'm getting one soon!
There both great cars , it's just all specific choice
Lol you call a corolla a great car..
Grace JD yes u see alot of 90s corrolas still on the road
Grace JD please explain how the Corolla isn't a great car. Oh wait, you're a troll.
Both are Fantastic cars that will last you for many yrs to come. I prefer the Honda bt I don’t think it’s superior to the Toyota Corolla.
In this comparison, I'd choose the Civic. Looks better and you won't be buried in recalls. But in all, I'd pick the Mazda3 or the VW Jetta.
Jetta?? Really??
I have a 2012 jetta and it's the biggest pile of crap I have ever had the misfortune to drive. I have the SE with convenience and sunroof and besides the heated seats in the winter I hate everything about this car. Its a lease and 2015 can't come soon enough.
Enmanuel Cruz Man that sucks. Can't you talk to the dealership about turning it in early so you can get yourself a better car??
thebluexanadu78
After my experience with VW I don't plan on ever getting another VW. So trading it early is out of the question. I could honestly write a college thesis on everything that sucks about this car. I've just never had such a bad experience with a vehicle.
Enmanuel Cruz Lol not to get another VW. I mean to trade it in early to get another better car from another brand such as Honda or Toyota.
I own a 09 Civic LX and in less than 5 years the paint on the roof have started to fade and turn white, the front side panel paint have started to crack and the trunk is also fading. It is so well spread that they have issued a paint warranty extension to some owners, but many do not know about them. Because it isn't a safety problem they are not required to fix it for you but who wants to drive a car with faded and cracked paint? There are cars much older that don't have this sort of problem. Needless to say I will never buy another Civic nor another Honda for that matter.
I own a civic 2014 2 door great car best 1.8 engine on the market.
Toyota isn't bad, but with Honda, I feel a sense of innovation and elegancy.
corolla winner for not getting stolen, like every honda out there
Not true. only the modifiable outdated Civics from the 90s get stolen. carjackers aren't interested the newer models from recent years as they aren't as easy to customize as the older ones.
toyota solara was #1 in the country for MOST STOLEN a couple years in a row
Games Channel Pajkou lol
That makes the Honda the winner... buy the car people want to steal
Honda Civic has more style inside. Toyota has more style from outside. Who agrees😀
The all new re-designed 2016 Civic looks much better than the Yota. Inside & out
His narrative style cracks me up at times
After years of owning small Chevys I recently bought a used 2015 Civic LX and couldn't be more happy. I love the manual transmission. My mother in law and cousin own and have onwned Corollas have swear by there reliability however I find the interior small for me. Yes the Corolla might have comfy seats but at 6'5" I found this model of Civic to be way more roomy inside.
i used to work for a roadside assistance company as a dispatcher....yup those Corolla aren't great cars at all (a lot of electric issues) its rare i get a Civic call. so i decided i wanted to get a new car...i first checked out the toyota because i feel like the carolla interior is much better than the civic...which it is....but i did NOT like the drive of that car...it felt slow and not very peppy and didn't drive along windy roads well. so i decided to give the civic a try and the dash i found more appealing than the Corolla and way more peppy and the civic hugs curves like a pro. i do feel the civic interior is made by a grandma and the front lights are a bit out-dated. after much consideration my Civic won me over. i do a lot of hill driving and this baby handles very well. i would my biggest disappointment is the sound quality from the speakers...where's the bass? #teamCivic to each his own....but if you looking for a recommendation i would definitely say Civic.
I know this is an old comment but I am calling roadside assistance every 2 months for my Civic 😂😂
You may not have helped me to choose one but i had fun watching thx
civic = greatest compact car in the world!!!
I like the civic only because of the lane watch assist, but thats it. Besides i have read many complaints about civics false mpg. Many people report 22 mpg in city and 29 on highway. Thats why im going with a corolla and its better interior plus mpg.
Before buying our 2015 Toyota Corolla we went to Honda to look at their cars. But there weren't any workers around so we went to Toyota. We have paid off our 2015 Toyota Corolla Le Sedan a few months ago.
I just bought this 2015 corolla today it very nice car they wanted to deliver ne that car today but I told them tomorrow because it will take time to services and tags and I was getting late for my job but it's nice car
Why does a car need a HDMI port?
I bought a '14 Jetta after I test drove every car in this segment and I couldn't be happier after 1 year. I was sold on the 1.8T which crushed every other engine I test drove, especially Corolla. Also, anyone complaining about materials in the Jetta, other than maybe a Mazda3, they are basically comparable to every car in this class
yoyoluc You see, there is the problem with the current Jetta (A6) when you say it (the materials ) is comparable with all the others in its class.
VW Jetta was always the superior car for quality of materials, build and design in the past. This new Jetta is shocking. Cheap hard plastics everywhere. The door trims are a joke. Compare them to the Jetta A5 or the Jetta A4 before that and you can see the decline. Back then none of the other cars in this segment came close to a Jetta.
A Jetta used to be good German engineering and class leading materials and finishes. You paid for it, but it was worth it. Now, I would not waste the extra money on a Jetta, when as you say, you can have a Mazda which is better.
God help us all!!! LOL
I just turned in my 2014 Corolla for the 2016 Corolla..and hands down, such a GREAT reliable car
The Civic and Corolla’s steering wheels look super similar
Civic always choose Honda
Bought a Civic and don't regret it. I get 50MPG HWY! In the city I only get 32MPG but still better than advertised.
I have driven both extensively. Love both. The corolla has more legroom in the back and comfier seats overall. Hard to nitpick much else. I also have a 4 year old meaning the car seat for the seems to fit nicer in the corolla but not to say you couldn’t put it in the civic. I know it’s a weird thing but if you’re a dad but still want a compact sedan...there you have it
Got the 2015black civic, shits clean af
civic beats the crap out of toyota becuase its better in every way hands down or all the way its the best car to drive toyota is following honda's footsteps wich is cool
Civic looks like a very basic looking sports car. Plus they have a really cool looking speedometer. That's why I picked the Civic.
Civic all the way!!
2 of the best brands and models in the world for reliability, efficiency, practicality and affordability. Really just comes down to if you are a Toyota or Honda "person". Hard to go wrong with either of the 2 top selling vehicles in the world. They sell as well as they do for a reason.
I've 2015 Civic touring version. I love it. So fun to drive
ex Toyota technician here. the corolla and camry seat supports give way to metal structure and of course the honda manual transmission is better I don't know anyone who would pick a Toyota trans over honda.
I've driven a 2015 Toyota Corolla LE-Plus for 4k miles. There are things I like, like the new interior and illuminated guages that are big and easy to read. However, the car does not track as well as my 2006 Corolla - it seems to wander a bit, and it feels like it's going to roll when going around curves at speed - also, I don't like the CVT transmission. It always seems like you're starting out in high gear, and you don't get instant torque if you want to take off quickly. If you try, the engine over-revs, and you don't get power. It also over-revs if you start out on a hill. When it over-revs, it's noisy. It really needs a low gear. If I could have the old 4 speed auto trans back, I'd be happier.
robotnik77 The Corolla L have the 4 speed automatic...
Cool review guys...luv ur style and luv this vid....AWESOME review...
I would choose Toyota out of any car at the moment as for I have had two Toyota's in the past and they never die! my 04 sienna has well over 400,000 kilometers and it has never been in a shop once except for oil changes and tire changes. Same goes for the lexus. It only has 200,000km on it but it also is running strong, problem free. If it was not for those reasons I would probably give mazda a go. They look cool and get great mileage.
Great video...liked the review....loved the videography :-)
I just bought Honda Civic 2015 and i love it!
+Bengie Ryan Mendoza me too a honda touring 2015 great car
I think both cars are beautiful but I chose the 2015 Honda Civic Coupe.
Both Civic & Corolla are the perfect rivals. A matter of preference. Though I dislike the new Civic digital odometers.
Was this the Corolla S or the S plus? Does de Corolla S has touchscreen?
I've done some research since I posted this and here in Mexico the only version that it's worth the price is the S plus and there's no LE Eco here yet :( I'm in a big dilemma now haha, thank you for your answer though.
Well i i tried both civic and corolla... They gives the same fuel economy at least for me.. but the civic is less stable during driving and the rear seat space is smaller thant the corolla...the only advantage that the civic might have is the camera in the right side which i never use....people say corolla is borring...i believe they never used the paddleshifter on it
This segment exists to sell Accords and Camrys.
Civic, from head to tail.
Another excellent video person's.
The Civic, Corolla, Mazda 3, Jetta & Focus are all good choices for a car in this class. You just need to decide what is more important to you. For me, it's about safety, handing, then gas mileage, comfort, and looks. If you want reliability, get a Honda. If you want a fun car to drive, get a Mazda. If you want a car that has great looks and styling, get a Ford Focus. If you want good engineering and European design, get a VW Jetta. If you want a car to get you from point A to point B, and has some style, get a Toyota Corolla. Currently the top safety pics are VW Jetta and Mazda 3. Honda Civic did very well also, as did Ford, but I scratched the Corolla off my list because it did not get as high ratings, although I think the new Corolla is much nicer than the previous one.
Just to correct a few things:
Toyota has higher predicted reliability than Honda (check consumerreports). Always has. The 2015 Corolla also got higher marks on safety than the 2015 Civic: it got 5 stars in all categories except for Rollover, where it got 4 (how the hell you roll it over is beyond me). Civic got a 4 for Rollover also as well as a 4 on Frontal Crash Test.
+ToonieB take the unreliable focus out
I love these reviews!!!
Both Honda and Toyota make great, reliable, amazing cars ;)
Civic ✌🏻️
Love my '14 Civic EX Coupe! I thought about getting a Corolla S both are great cars!
My 1996 corolla was good car,my 2009 is a POS.Bad ignigtion coils/electrical issues,my CB joints are leaking(both),rear window not closing all the way now(it goes up then drops 3/8 inch)etc..at 76k miles it's already costing me too much in repairs.
toyota they are okay till they start recalling their cars because of accidents ect , once burnt id buy a civic hands down trust me im a doctor
+paul marsden Smart Man. My Solara was a lemon, Im on my 3rd Civic Now and would never go back to Yota
I just can't decide...
Both amazing cars, just narrows down to which you prefer
Totally agree with that!
my favorite cars are honda, toyotas, and especially fords! Yuuuuuup!
the best civic looking and performance is eg coupe, ek sedan,ek coupe(ek9) and the last is civic generation 8 civic fd(not euro type like fn or lx).. search civic fd type r and look the design..so awesome and sport until now..the civic fd type r generation 8 win against fn euro type r generation 8..poor euro get civic fn..asia get civic fd
TOYOTA : CMFORTABLE , SPACIEUSE , TIEN LA ROUTE, FIABLE , BEAU LOOK
does the corolla have the same steering issues as the civic? I have a 2015 Honda civic and it's impossible to steer straight on the freeway... been through 2 sets of tires and 2 alignments with no improvement. I think Honda dropped the ball on their electronic steering setup. really dangerous to be wandering all over on the highway imo...I hate this car due to its lack of handling!
Sae Kim would you say it's worse than old civics? my 2000 Civic LX can go 110 with ease
Honda civic is the best.
Kbb is the best!!!
Civic is slightly faster slightly more room . In the other hand Corolla interior is more good looking . Both awesome cars .
honda is all most nice and good car
Right now i'm looking to trade in my garbage 2012 ford focus for one of those 2 greats cars. I tried the Toyota and the Honda and both are excellent. The Honda has more technologies and lot more gadgets inside and the Toyota is more class in my opinion. I see the civic more as a ''cool'' car and the corolla more as a car for man. The visibility in the corolla is better for me than the civic, but again the civic is more fun to drive because of the gadget and light etc... All is a question of priority, my choice is the Toyota corolla.
Civic all day
I'll pick the corolla over a civic. The inside of the corolla is much nicer and more comfortable. please do a review on 2014 Nissan Rogue!
I would choose the Civic in this comparison, but I would choose a Kia Forte, Hyundai Elantra or a Mazda3 over either one.
honda its the best thing you can have man honda civic is mi life i love hondas its my thing and its also has more power than all of the corrollas they have and yeah the honda doesnt have to much fancy bumbpers and all does stuff but you can buy it Honda its the best car ever not even a mitsubishi evo X can beat us
You are an idiot.
como estas i dont care
Nick Olsen haha he's telling the truth dude wth are you getting butthurt Honda is the best out there
MAIN reason to by the civic: A NICER BLUE COLOR.
While you can buy a blue Corolla, it's only on the sport model and its sort of a PURPLE-BLUE, while the civic has a much nicer and less-purple blue color. So that's about the only real reason to buy a Civic = nicer blue.
I have a 2007 nissan sentra which I currently love but it has seen better days. I am looking into getting a newer car and cant decide if I want a Corolla, Civic, or another Sentra >.
If you're planning on getting another Nissan then get an Altima
Nissans are junk. Get yourself the si mentioned here in this video. Cupid will shoot u with an arrow and u will fall in love with the thing bro.
corolla hands down it will save u money and nissan is a piece of garbage with bad service pls reply if u choose toyota or nissan
Both cars are good but I obviously choose the Corolla it's more beautiful and has more technology
the new 2016 Civic has more technology than the 2016 Corolla - hands down. ANd it is CAR OF THE YEAR. thank you very much. More Beautiful ? the Corolla? baaaa haaaaa haaaaaaa. they are so ugly. Big mouth & no styling
Its his Opinion On the Toyota Corolla 2015, and I bet your a Honda Fan That doesn't want people Using Toyota Cars, There Both Good Cars, And There the Best Selling Compact Sedans,
jarrett37 Jarret calm the fuck down bud.. people can have opinions
Can the Toyota Corolla travel for a long distance because I mostly go on a long distance trip
I like Honda more than the Corolla
The Toyota Corolla is amazing and it gets better gas mileage then Honda Civic because it's a Toyota
That's one of the dumbest things I've ever seen said... Just because it's Toyota means it's gas mileage is better than all other competitors? Wake up, that's not reality.
