Ive owned the Corolla Hatch for over 3 months now. The big thing for me was the centre console, styling, and sound. Its quiet, will last forever, and looks amazing in all black with tinted windows. The civic will always look like a teenagers car

[@luigidicarp9521]

The answer is mazda3... AWD + automatic not ShitCVT

[@yutosi2109]

Civic looks better, is reliable like the Corolla and has a turbo. Don't get me wrong Toyota has great cars and I'm a fan of both but honda does just have quality but has nicer looks.

[@jjensen7984]

Not mentioned in this video is dealing with the actual Hatchback portion of the car. When comparing these two vehicles, you need to consider why people are getting a hatchback versus a sedan, or coupe. And this is where there is a large difference in my mind. With the Corolla having only 17.8 cubic feet behind the rear seats, and a total of 23.3 with the seats folded down. This is in comparison to the 22.6 feet in the civic (sport and sport topuring, with 25.7 in the LX) with the seats up, and a shocking 46.2 cubic feet with the seats down. This is over double the space in the corolla and to a hatchback owner, is the reason the Civic is the better hatchback overall

[@LookingGlass24]

I’ll take the Toyota Corolla, hands down. I’ve owned two Civics back to back and I got SO tired of that low platform. You feel sunken down on the road, plus, it made my back ache tremendously. My Civics were hurting me because they weren’t comfortable, though it took a long time to accept that the cars just weren’t right for my body type. I’ve tested both these cars and the Corolla is by far the most comfortable ride of the two. The Corolla handles brilliantly, and feels sturdier-beefier if you would. The cargo space is not as large as the Civic’s though because it’s a bit higher, but the shape of the hatch is so much cooler looking. I can make less cargo work okay though, and loading the Corolla is easier on my spine because of it’s higher stance. The Corolla looks phenomenal. I tell you, it’s impressive in both Sedan and Hatch version, I was stunned at the dealership at how great this car looks and how well it drove. It’s a total winner for me. If/when the Corolla comes out with a Turbo version, it could potentially blow the Civic away. IMO, The infotainment of the Corolla is way nicer than the Civic’s too. If I wasn’t looking to buy a PHEV soon, I’d probably buy the Corolla instead (my top consideration is the Prius Prime). My next purchase will happen the day after Christmas (Lord willing) and I’m buying my first Toyota. Can’t wait!

[@SilverScarletSpider]

Hatchbacks can save us from the SUV/Minivan apocalypse. The Civic Hatchback is the better choice. Hate the Corolla’s unnervingly light steering. Having a much punchier engine and bigger interior also helps, so the Honda Civic it is (but the lack of heated steering wheels will be missed). Not mention that the Corolla’s weird CVT already has recalls.

@ 3:09 -- "FWD doesn't help it in the winter"?? What the hell is that supposed to mean? I'm a big RWD fan, but FWD is way better than RWD in snow, any day of the week.

[@jamesengelsman9369]

Show Me What I Need To Know in the context of hatchbacks I was suggesting that it was inferior to awd in terms of traction. It’s not obvious in the video but at that moment I lost traction while trying to accelerate. Hope that clears it up!

[@Bartonovich52]

AWD isn’t that much more useful. The extra power is going to tires with less grip because of less weight. You’re not getting the kind of acceleration that is going to shift weight distribution either. AWD also comes with extra weight, extra unsprung weight, and higher centre of gravity... all huge liabilities when trying to stop or maneuver on slippery surfaces after your AWD got you going too fast. That’s probably why most of the vehicles I’ve seen spun out or flipped in winter have been AWD or 4WD.

[@ShowMeWhatINeedToKnow]

As someone who has driven FWD most of their lives (with snow tires), and now drives an AWD 328I xDrive, I can tell you that AWD makes A HUGE, HUGE, HUGE, DIFFERENCE. Modern AWD systems shuffle the power to the wheels that have grip -- not the wheels that don't have grip. In fact, an open diff FWD car is what will shuffle power to the wheel that does not have the grip -- so there's a big disadvantage.

[@Matt-hx4vn]

@@ShowMeWhatINeedToKnow I grew up driving AWD vehicles, but now that I'm paying for them myself FWD is the sweet point for a North American vehicle. Until there is a quality offering under $20k US, I'll stick with FWD.

FWD is better in the Winter over RWD said no real driver ever. As someone who lives in Saskatchewan CA where we have snow on the ground for 6-8 months of the year, I'll take my RWD 335i over any shitty front wheel car any day. If you need explaining why RWD is always better than FWD is any given driving situations, then you really know fuck all about driving.. PERIOD

[@txmoney]

Great comparison. You nailed the main reasons why someone would choose one car over the other. Being a Civic owner, I can still appreciate the qualities described in the Corolla. But I chose the Civic for its sporty performance and handling and aggressive style.

[@th3lastmustang611]

You really couldn't go wrong with either one of these, buying a Corolla or civic is a totally fine decision

[@AndrewKNI]

Brilliant review guys. I have reached the "comfort stage" in life so its the Corolla for me when it gets launched in the UK in February 2019.

[@slunasaurusrex]

The point of hatches is more practical and usable space in the back than the comparable sedan version and there’s no mention or comparison of cargo capacity / seat folding etc? It could be the main factor for a lot of people in deciding between the two especially with how closely matched they appear... love your work just seems like an important point missed.

[@junosynth]

They were more concerned with letting everyone know their Honda Bias.

[@PhillyFan20]

I own a Corolla Hatchback and it's not the most practical. There's about 18 cubic feet of space with the rear seats up. The spare tire also means it's not very deep in back either.

[@jonesingjalopies5457]

Hatch's look better to be plain and simple. I think any one that needs cargo dimensions needs a bigger car anyway.

[@hectorandem2944]

A hatchback doesn't _necessarily_ have more space than a sedan. However they are more *space efficient (i.e. make better use of the space available).*

[@nikkisavo7293]

Corolla Hatch in blue flame would have my pick. 168hp is enough as a daily. I'm not going to a damn race track lol. (although I understand people may want to do just that with these cars haha) Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you missed a pretty large plus about the CVT on the Corolla. It has a physical first gear as a launch gear. Feels MUCH better than a reg CVT.

[@ThisClarkDude]

big thing i want to mention about power that noone does. its a numbers game you fall for. the corolla over rated on power civic is underrated. corolla probably sees 135 to the wheels and 110 tq. civic on the other hand 170/170 is the usual wheel power.

[@ub1419]

Nah the corrola feels like shit after driving the civic. And with a tune the civic can gain around 50 hp and 80 torque. U can get more but i dont reccomend it. Theres no way a corrola could ever be more sportier than a civic.

[@WandererJester]

Looks worse, and is less unless you have an iPhone. The info system and lack of sunroof is real, be more of a toss up if Toyota actually used Android Auto.

[@Steven_Rowe]

Your spot on about power. If you had 168 or 400 what is the point on a public road??? Maybe power is important t for people who feel they need to prove that somehow power makes them better than others. I like the Corolla it looks good drives good and is senisble and ecconomic. The civic is also a good looking car and looks like colour are subjective. I can understand why turbos are good as its not just about power but getting max torque across a wide spectrum of rpm.. When it comes to quality Toyota, Honda and Subaru are amongst the best.

[@tonyjamieta8169]

Nikki Savo Technically it’s supposed to. But according to Motor Trend, the Corolla is over 2 seconds slower to 60mph

[@__red__general2369]

I test drove the Corolla hatchback the first day it hit dealers, at first I was impressed but hated the rev/speedometer gauge on the lower trims, which imo where ripped out of a 2013 Corolla sedan. Then I test drove the Mazda, and was even more impressed, but the 2.5GT 6spd I test drove had really uncomfortable vibrations throughout the car at idle, either from droning or engine knock, so I left. The way home I stopper by honda to test drive the civic hatchback, and was I blown away! I love how it looked and the 1.5t is the best enthusiast engine out of the 3, the 6spd was easy to learn but had a good amount of rev hang. And today I'm a proud owner of a 2018 white honda civic hatchback lx trim or(ex in the us) and I love everything about it

I am blown away by the little Corolla. It’s almost as fun to drive as the Miata, but almost as comfortable as the Lexuses I’ve owned. It has Apple CarPlay on 8” screen, made in Japan, near hybrid MPG, standard Toyota radar cruise control and parking sensors, and big digital dash, heated seats, garage door opener, smart key push start, etc and many more. And it’s one of the cheapest cars that I’ve owned. It’s one of the best deals of the decade for cars!

Simply put.... they didn't compare the cargo space because Honda is the leader in the class for that. I think one car in the class has more space with the seats down. But as far as the trunk itself honda is the leader. I think this review was trying to make them look as equal as possible. They are both good cars if you want a car that is reliable fast for is classed and more fun to drive go with the Civic. If you want a car that's probably more reliable overall and more comfortable to drive get the Corolla. I bought the 2020 Honda Civic hatchback. Because when I drove it I just fell in love with it in my opinion the Corolla has nothing over the Civic "overall" to justify buying it.

[@luh.garcia6413]

Tj J true but most people buy a car on how it drives, it’s how you enjoy it, cargo space is very useful but how much are you really gonna carry all at once? The most I carry is half a trunk and like a bag in the front. Now my mother’s car it can carry a load full she is a chef so she buys a lot of food for her work so that’s where it comes in handy.

Pay more per payment, here's why: If you pay more each time you make a payment, you can pay off the car quicker, and you will pay less in total, because there will be less time for interest to build up. It might be more demanding on your wallet at the time, but you will pay less in total.

I wouldn’t say the sport button on the Corolla is as useless to be honest. It DOES make it more responsive which I personally like.

I’m a Honda sales rep. For me the additional space and options that you get on the Civic makes it a better bargain. The Corolla does look nicer but I just can’t get past the amount of space the Civic has compared to it.

[@lizakoronovsky227]

That corolla is so ugly compared to the civic sport…

[@JB-ki9ql]

When the English lad got out of the corolla and into the civic he never stop smiling.

[@ChrisIsObes3]

As the proud owner of a 2017 civic LX i can confidently say that even before watching the civic is going to be way better to get for your teenager, but the corolla will probably be the better car to get for your grandparents.

[@jcval87]

the knob is not necessary for the volume on the dashboard, if it is well integrated in the steering wheel.

[@richardhaak267]

It's funny that I found this vid because today I test drove both of these vehicles today. The only difference was that the honda was an SI model which is only available in a manual trans, which is what I want to buy. The Toyota dealer didn't have a manual hatch in stock. At this point I am undecided. The manual doesn't have remote start for obvious reasons, neg for me. Corolla doesn't have sun/moon roof. Civic doesn't have LED headlamps or side view mirror turn signals. I find them helpful when driving on 3 lane highways. The SI that I drove was coupe but I don't think the sedan will feel much different. Another minus for me on the Honda is that the premium sound is a factory brand and branded like Toyota's JBL or Mazda's Bose system. Both cars seem very well made. Maybe if I can get a chance to drive a Corolla manual, it might help me make a decision. I also have the mazda3 hatch grand touring on my wish list. I saw a standard model in person today but didn't drive it. The interior looked cheaply made and the instrument cluster was underwhelming. Anyway, I subscribed to your channel and will report back with my final decision. So car the SI is car I'm leaning towards.

[@civicsocialclub]

Been driving the Civic since 2018. Happy with my decision.

[@dannyyan2738]

For commute, Corolla is better. I've driven 86, sti before, I would appreciated a lighter steering in traffic.

[@qanononabong8491]

It will be a silent recall by Honda to fix the 1.5T gas in oil problem. The next "free maintenance" oil change will take a week as they will take the engine apart. A loaner car will be provided for a nominal daily fee.

[@jordanlucas5957]

Wrecked my 2016 civic L and just picked up a 2020 corolla LE and I’m loving the LE so much more even though it’s a little slower!

[@hassansmw5634]

the corolla is a better investment than a turbo civic, because it will last longer. Turbo engines leave a strain on tiny engines such as these.

[@mirullah1003]

It may not be the best corolla I will have been in. My first car was a Corolla FX16, Toyota's failed attempt to strike at the CRX. The FX16 had a 16 valve twin cam engine (same as the MR2 of the time), sub 2000lbs, great handling, loadsa fun AND very comfy! And I know there have been better Corollas than that. Although Toyota does not make cars like they used to any longer I am just glad that they are trying to bring back more fun in their line-up. I am planning on getting back in the Corolla hatch with this model. BTW volume knobs suck, it's starting to go out on my '00 Prelude.

[@lastpally]

I’ve owned a 2017 civic ex-t coupe with a 6speed manual then trades it in for a 2018 Si coupe. I love this generation civic. However I would be just fine with the Toyota. You really can’t lose between the civic and corolla. Hell the Mazda 3 is another great choice. It depends what YOU prefer in a vehicle.

[@Tom-sd2vi]

Between these 2 the civic hands down. The mazda 3 is the one I might take over the civic though.

[@carlosamaya4503]

Corolla is way more reliable than the oil dilution Honda turbo engine

[@JJLTACTICALSOUTIONS]

Carlos Amaya The Civic looks better and more aggressive looking. The Corolla looks like a car for my great grandmother. The Honda comes with Honda sensing (lane departure warning, break assist, etc) standard. The Corolla has none

[@AscendingDragons]

Actually a Mazda 3 I think is a good middle ground between the two cars. doesn't drive as nice as the Civic but it drives better than the Corolla plus it's more premium and quieter and it's the sexiest lol. I'm probably 18 months out from getting a car but I'm looking at Honda and Mazda. Either a sport touring, premium Mazda 3 or an SI.

[@BeesonsCars]

My family had a Lexus GS and it had the absolute cheapest feeling key I’ve ever felt. It’s like lighter than two sheets of paper. It’s also really cheap plastic, but the Lexus dealers give you a leather “glove” to put over the key and make it a bit heavier and feel nicer. It’s honestly one of the main annoyances with a Toyota product because the key is literally the first thing you interact with on the car. Luckily I think they’ve started to redesign them and the Lexus keys are much heavier and have metal now.

[@mbulelogumede6903]

I'd take the Corolla, it's just way too cool

[@Ascend777]

I prefer the Corolla because it's not the cool car.

[@masonvevo.]

I got a Corolla Hatchback XSE in Blue Flame. Super sexy 🤩😍💙

[@latinbeandip]

i prefer naturally aspirated...but the civic looks alot better inside and out. toyota REALLY needs a new tech designer cuz that screen looks glued on.

[@penvon]

Corolla for me.

[@madman1rug]

You're wrong about saying that no one will be using the paddle shifter on the Toyota. I use the paddle shifter when driving downhill at a hill, no need to use the foot brake, saving brake and rotors wear.

[@robertrishel3685]

The discussion of the corolla”s light steering: 😂😂😂😂 you guys kill me every time! Plus, you actually review the cars!! Imagine that? Civic 100%! Although I wanted to like the Toyota, especially with all of the marketing noise about them offering it in a manual. And the Toyota does look good.

[@DenonGregory]

The Corolla looks good no denying that. But doesn't look better than the civic. Not even close. The civic is a overall better car. I have a Si coupe and went on multiple road trips and its so smooth and comfortable for me and the passengers. Me and my brother switched and I sat in the back with my lady and in my coupe with me at 6 foot 2 and a half, I had space and it was roomy back there. We all enjoyed the ride. It's extremely livable and perfect for everyday and extremely capable if you need it. While the corolla is just a nice car but not a contender to the civic imo. Maybe the base base civic.

[@marctemura2017]

Also to remember the Civic is design in way that if you are in traffic the car will still drive very comfortably at low to medium speeds this because of air flow around the car.

[@EvendimataE]

civic for more cargo space...toyota should release in us the wagon version of corolla

[@v60polestar88]

I don’t care how sporty the corolla looks it’s still your grandmama corolla. It’s a appliance that gets you from A to B. The Civc is sportier and more of a mom and dad car. At the end of the day they are both econoboxes. You get what you pay for

[@dualityofman1253]

Excellent team review. Toyota does everything extremely well except for one thing; their steering. Every car they make has dangerously light steering. One shouldn't have to buy a sportier & harsher riding vehicle just to have safe & secure steering. It really is a shame.

[@kenhoward3512]

That Toyota cars ("every car they make"!) have "dangerously light steering" is the silliest thing I've read here - and I've read a LOT of very silly comments here.

[@micglou]

Even though I'm a Honda guy, I do like the looks of that Corolla over the Civic. Outside only, the Honda interior looks better and of course the engine drives much better.

[@marcusmcneal7453]

micglou Agreed. The Corolla design is really great, but the Civic has more space, cargo room, HP, and literally limitless aftermarket mods. That’s why I went with the Civic.

[@micglou]

@@marcusmcneal7453 I'd also still buy the Honda, it's good looking... Toyota just looks better. Reliability is top notch with both brands, but I like Honda drive train better than Toyota, I also prefer the stiffer handling from Honda.

[@leonszura6423]

66 and a bad back...have owned miata...Sirocco VW...RABBITS etc...Honda a WONDERFUL CAR...BUT ME..XSE/CVT TOYOTA!

[@songofyesterday]

they make Corollas in manual, and they review CVTs? wut..

[@the-boring-car-guy]

Its not often their choice

[@jonesingjalopies5457]

Most commuters who by these cars for the milage and sit in crap tons of stop and go traffic will want a CVT review.

[@arthuryang8731]

I did some googling, the Civic hatchback has a bit more room in the trunk than the Corolla. As a proud Korean American I prefer the Civic, because although not an American car, shit goes fast compare to the Corolla 💯

[@nikomoin7604]

The corolla looks better imo

[@younged510]

Nah they both look kinda weird but the Civic by time grew on me. You want the best looking Hatch, then the Mazda 3 is for you. But if you want a spacious hatchback that's not as expensive as the Impreza, get a Civic.. I did. I lease it though, just in case the 2020 Civic also starts having the oil dilution problem. If it doesn't I'm keeping it..

[@killer997s]

Im definitly picking corolla id just rice the car out an throw a 12 in the trunk an flare out the sides an put a little body kit on it with a under glow

[@michaeldejesus7418]

2024. I'm going for comfort, looks, and feul economy for a daily car. And if I wanna drive with a little more power, I'll just take out my next gen ranger raptor (weekend car)😅

[@muhammadrizwan384]

This car segment is for daily drive relax comfort and safety, car enthusiast should buy sports cars.

[@mcximus]

I take a Civic Hatch because there[s more storage space behind the rear seats.

[@bcgreen7479]

It's definitely a hard choice I don't know if I can trust a c v t engine just as yet and I'm not very good with a manual plus I don't know if I want it in heavy traffic I think I would prefer a 4-cylinder Honda Civic EX.

[@nedjmeddineboudjemia8418]

Love your uploads

[@patskey08]

Nice review finally 🤗!!!! btw i own a 2018 civic hatchback sport touring 6mt Aegean blue .😎😎

[@milesrashaad7402]

Man I really don't know. I definitely want to know if the standard transmission would be better. I like the more enthusiastic experience and can add a cool touch screen aftermarket and I think the Honda Civic would be my choice. The best BMW is a Honda Civic standard transmission lol

[@palaubranm6961]

I prefer to drive a manual transmission even in the Forza Horizon 4 windows game. I would never want to drive a boring CVT, I would still take the manual transmission even if has Rev hang and the shifter is a little bad. It's till more fun than a CVT.

[@xmarqeepandax]

I just bought my first Honda and it's the lx hatchback and I'm loving every minute of it!!! I like that its peppy and I still can get good gas mileage 😍🚗💨

[@Craig_Bolin]

Love the creativity lately.

[@classic287]

Corolla. Because it has no turbo...

[@borisnjers]

Depends on who you are and what you want.
