For some time now Honda has been moving the Civic away from its humble roots, and by now the cars in that platform (Civic, the new HRV) are getting conceived as aimed at a slight step-up in category above "device to move you from point A to Point B". Notice how with the dropping in the North America market of the Fit and the old HRV, Honda have admitted that selling an "econobox" is not worth it for them here.

[@Broccoli_Highkicks]

In Europe, the Civic has basically replaced the Accord, which is no longer on sale. And I suppose the Jazz (Fit in America) is the new Civic. Of course, the trend here is very much towards SUVs and crossovers. HR-V, CR-V, ZR-V, and the all-electric E:NY1 are all in that wheelhouse. Blegh.

[@anthonynicholich9654]

I just test drove both and really felt that at my age...I'd now go with the more spacious roomier Honda. IF I were twenty years younger, I'd do the Corolla. The Corolla Hatch was REALLY squished feeling - like I was kissing my knees driving it! And then the corolla sedan, which is the absolute one I SHOULD buy cuz affordable, felt cheap!

I think Toyota really made a mistake in not making the Corolla bigger but maybe that's because they are trying to force you towards a bigger more expensive model. The car is alot smaller than its competition and you have to be able to fit 3 adults in the back otherwise forget it.

[@SmartPracticeSuccess]

I bought a brand new 2023 Civic Touring in January 2023. I’d been driving my ‘02 Civic LX for 18 years and desperately needed a new(er) car. Mine is meteorite metallic gray with a two-tone black/gray interior (gray seats). Honda has gone back to their design roots with this 11th gen redesign. It has a ‘90s look/feel, yet slightly modernized. I love the understated, yet polished exterior paired with the semi-luxury interior. It’s a beautiful car and I’m super happy with mine. I’m in South Florida and the heat here can be brutal. I absolutely did NOT want black seats for that reason, so I would never have bought the red car since it only comes with black seats. I actually wanted a white Civic with the gray seats, but that color combo wasn’t available to me.

Toyota Corolla definitely for longevity and reliability between the two but l rather have the 4 door Yaris. Unlike Corolla it was made in Japan it's got a smaller 1.5 1NZ-FE (I've seen them with over 500.000 miles never opened and more and you never hear nothing bad about them 1.5) so it is more efficient and so are the Scion XA and XB (first gen 1.5) of the 2000s and also both made in Japan which is what you want if you know anything about cars.

Trick question, it’s the Mazda 3 2.5t AWD Hatch. But in all seriousness the Civic is a very close second, the only reasons I think it looses out on #1 is the lack of AWD and the CVT tranny. The only way I’d consider the Corolla is in the GR configuration because otherwise it feels anemic even though it’s tiny and weighs nothing. None the less you can’t really go “wrong” with any of them. Japanese designed cars, made in Japan, with Japanese parts are always superior… but now that I think of it aren’t Civics not made in Japan anymore? Maybe this is a two horse race between Toyota and Mazda after all…

I have a 2022 Corolla Hatch XSE manual but it is tiny. Part of that is charming but a recent Costco trip defeated me. So I’m looking at trading in for a civic or Integra. I want manual transmission so it’s the 2.0 sport hatch or the Type R/Type S. I don’t want the 1.5 turbo.

We have two 2020 Civics. Both have had flawless drivetrain performances for 60k miles each. As we approach 2024-25 we have looked a the: 1. Toyota Prius AWD. 2. Toyota Corolla Hybrid AWD 3. Honda HR-V Hatchback AWD But what I'm REALLY hoping for is the is the Corolla Hatchback HYBRID AWD. If they come out with that option, that is the most practical and aesthetically acceptable option for us. The pricey Prius is hard to swallow to swallow. While the Corolla sedan, being affordable, is aesthetically a desert with its mundane curbside appeal. However, the Corolla Hatch is quite attractive. The HR-V Hybrid is eminently practical, but a test drive is mandatory because of previous "sleepy" performance. As for the new Civic, we all totally dislike this Gen 11 Civic design and reject it out of hand. So, we wait for prices to return to normalcy and new possibilities on the horizon. In this matter, patience and discipline are usually my best guides.

Agreed, I had a 2004 civic hybrid with 196k, miles on it, 38 mpg, batteries died at 90k, were replaced by Honda under the 100k warranty. At 196k the transmission was about to go out, and needed a new commuter car. I was waiting for a Corolla hatchback AWD. No hybrid, cause batteries will fail before the engine. The engine on my 2004 Honda hybrid could still go another 100k, but the batteries will fail again before that. I thought Toyota would give us the corolla AWD hatchback this year, but no. I bought a 2024 Honda civic sport hatchback a week ago, and very happy with the car so far. With 500 miles on it, i'm averaging 33 MPG. One thing people don't talk about with hybrids is their longevity. As an owner of a 19 year old civic hybrid , batteries fail, just like they do on your smart phone, laptop etc. Keep that in mind on your next car purchase. Hybrids are great for gas mileage , but don't last as long as naturally asperated engine cars.

2:37 Is the L per 100 kms backwards ? Is it 7.5 liters / 100 kms city and 5.5 Liters/100 kms hwy ?

At the price of Civic hatchback or less you can have Corolla cross with even more space and AWD!

[@silvershadow013]

I have one and love it!

[@meros74]

What about Subaru Crosstrek WILDERNESS edition, thanks ...

[@RobertDoosh]

The Corolla hybrid's displacement is 1.8l, not 2.

[@janjachymiak9013]

I would stay away from turbo.

[@robertkubrick3738]

Definitely.

[@AIDAHAR210]

Was looking at a Civic Si, but dealers around my area were charging 45K for them. I decided on a Forte GT, since it was only 25K and just as good as the Honda counterpart. And I still got my EK hatchback anyways

[@A.Masculine.Reminder]

I was able to talk to a dealership employee and found out that they’re marking up each car by $5000. I found this out because I was trying to go for a job and ended up befriending one of them. This is at a high scale dealership that’s quite popular. A Toyota one 😤

I recently traded my 23 Corolla SE for a 24 Civic EX. The Civic is such a nicer car and much more fun to drive. Every single piece of plastic in the Corollas rattle and make noise constantly. The CVT transmission has a physical first gear which creates a weird feeling when accelerating from a stop and a gap where the car feels totally unresponsive until 3rd gear. It does not have a sunroof, blind spot monitor, or heated seats. The Civic came with all of those and I am also getting 6 more mpg in it with a quicker, much more responsive turbo engine. The Corolla did have a nicer touch screen and infotainment UI if that matters to you. I have driven both cars in the past year and it is night and day between the two. Buy the Civic.

[@dalewiley9208]

While one might view this as subjective, most reviews I have read or seen disagree with your comment that the Civic is quieter than the Corolla. One of my knocks with Honda is the road noise that creeps into many of their models. Perhaps the use of a sound meter might help here. In other words, you are just wrong here.

[@anthonyng3014]

At these prices, the Civic should be competing against full size sedans or compact crossovers. Absolutely crazy pricing from Honda. Since they don't even sell the Fit any longer, they've just priced a significant sector of the market out of their cars.

[@korazon3spinado]

I probably spring for the Honda since I seem to be loyal to Honda

[@SCraig-Handsome]

I’ve had both but it’s sort of funny that the opinion is out there that non-aspirated engines DON’T have carbon buildup and fuel injection problems. Since I first started buying cars in 1994 they have ALL had carbon build-up and fuel injection problems once you get over 100K… it wasn’t until 2020 that I had a Turbo but all my NON-Turbo . NON-Aspirated (Compressed Air) engines had this problem. So I’m just here to say that there is not much difference… Non-Turbos could last longer yes but if you go for the 2.0L instead of the 1.6T you WILL NEED Fuel-Injection Service and there will be some Maintenance problems you just can’t avoid. I get that Turbo may have more maintenance issues, especially if you use only 87 octane gas with very little detergents to clean the carbon off of the valves over time. But lets be honest here… I have about 80K on my 2020 CR-V and it has had absolutely no maintenance due to the engine once it gets to 120K that might change but I also expect it because my previous vehicles did have this problem (although not Honda). Actually come to think of it I already had starting problems due to Fuel Injection prior to 80K with Plymouth Chrysler vehicles. But that was late 90’s and fuel injection was still fairly new (yes Port Injection… all my vehicles with Port Injection were a problem, all my vehicles with Direct Injection have never had an issue). Sorry for the rant but… don’t get too hung up on Port vs Direct or Dual or Non-Aspirated vs Turbo-charged. Oh yeah and if you do buy a Turbo… it warms up so fast in the Winter, if you live in a cold climate, it’s pretty awesome.

[@billmoyer3254]

Not on the new 2 litre! Toyota engines that combine port injection with direct injection. Technology marches on.

[@davinp]

The Civic looks like the same size as the Accord. The Civic is supposed to compact and Accord mid-sized

[@v4847]

Civic has always been a great car but insurance is so expensive. It's cheaper to get an accord over the long run because of insurance. In the 00's when I was ready to buy one, the accord, RSX, Celica, Corolla, Camry, and IS300 were cheaper to own over 7 years because of the crazy high insurance. Everything from Fast&Furious movies, theft, and even "thinner sheet metal" were given as reasons.

[@troy8579]

Corolla definitely gets the nod in my opinion: so MUCH to appreciate at that price range and made in Japan makes it the real deal !

[@irenemanuel4217]

I paid the 2023 sport touring hatchback for $ 40.000 with the mark up. Ouch🤮

Civic 1.5 turbo manual all the way!! The interior is gorgeous. The car is fun to drive and reliable AF. Do your maintenance and you’ll be fine!! There are so many 1.5 with 300k+ km. Out there.

I have drove Corolla and City(not the civic) My opinion… 🎉City has better feeling control the wheel. 🎉 Corolla has better engine but I don’t like the wheel, I felt it’s too light. Hard to control.

[@siangtan3411]

Honda is no longer on top anymore. It is the worst, I used to love it and recommend it to everyone. However, my cousin has a 2021 Honda Civic and had gotten a recall for the ac. It has been almost a year and still no fix. It is extremely hot and whenever we are in his car our shirts are soaking from this extreme heat. It is such an inconvenience especially since we still don't have any updates due to the back order. Terrible just terrible!

[@mmmmm5556]

These are not small cars. they are more mid size

[@mohdibrahim1350]

Thanks sir. I do believe that the Honda 2 liter has direct injection, please correct me if I am wrong 😅

[@lennygarrison6836]

Nope, it has port injection instead. Which means that the engine should be more reliable because of it.

Coming from a 2019 Civic highest pack, the Hybrid awd Corolla is a bit better in many ways but I mean unless you have a family of more than 4 excluding you or you buy a lot the space is not a good reason to go for the civic, I mean with the price of the Civic now just get a SUV. If you going for just looks I mean I guess so . Plus you can’t beat Toyota at reliability.
