I buy Hondas and my brother-in-law buys Toyotas. Neither of us has had problems in the last thirty years of buying cars and both run forever. You can't go wrong with either maker. Good video. Cheers.
Night Otter I had a Toyota Corolla best car I ever had never any issues reliable and great comfortable car. Work for Honda this past year deciding on either one
Not a single mention of standard safety features. Toyota has radar cruise control, forward collision prevention, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, auto on/off high beams. Many car enthusiasts like myself actually love analog gauges by the way.
I personally am a fan of both brands but a quick internet search shows that you van get a 2017 corolla for way less than a civic and personally I want to save money if i can
I really don't know why all the car reviewers never mention anything about reliability?!!! Normal people should have to have some information about the cars reliability from people who owned similar cars in the past 5 years or so. No one really gives a damn now about 10 or 20 more hp or torque in these cars segment! Just look at a 2007 corolla and 2007 civic and ask both owners how much money both spent on spare parts and service and you will know the difference between a good car and a reliable car which can run for 200k miles without a single problem. Toyota is always a winner
You know what I don't care what people say. I have a corolla 1994 this very day and boy, no rust what so ever and it's a freaking sturdy car. Runs very good no problem at all so screw all this crap.
Elio Teixeira and the 2017 civic has 244 problems reported by Civic owners. Among the top five are engine and brakes. Like if you’re just gonna spit out “facts” about the corolla, then you need to compare with the civic.
@@unfairsanic5089 yeah imma about to buy a 17 corolla. Little worried about the cvt but a hyundai elantra is a great alternative and is a little cheaper
my mother got a 2016 corolla but before had a 03 accord, and the honda was reliable, she bought it used and got rid of it at around 230,000 kilometers mostly because she hated the V6's gas economy, now this new 2016 Corolla does about 7.6-7.9/100km depending if i'm the one driving lol, but for the first 1-2 seconds of taking off from a stop it feels like you almost don't have an engine, but it corners well, and would make a good economy daily driver if you care nothing for enthusiast car stuff.
I got a 1999 Corolla too, passed down from my dad, he drove it from the valley to the Bay area everyday, it has 361k miles and all it has no real issues other than a beat up interior and no A/C.
You are right, the Toyota is definitely less maintenance than Honda. It also has a much quieter and comfortable drive. If you want a sporty drive, then buy a real sports car like a Porsche!
Id buy the Civic too but they ignore all the standard advanced safety features on the Corolla which are very significant and unheard of in a compact car, and will appeal to a lot of people. Loyal Toyota owners have always been the most pragmatic car buyers. That drives their used prices past the point of reasonable. Toyota should be applauded for adding all of that standard. Others will need to follow.
The Corolla is the best. It sells in over 180 countries. It's the number one compact car in the USA and world. I'm looking forward for the 2020 Corolla.
Brent Cairns Yes, the Civic EX does start at 21K... but they probably have the Honda Sensing feature which adds $1000. With destination and handling it comes to $23K.
Great comparison guys.The Civic has more power, superior handling, better features and fuel economy (31/42/36)... not even a close call... ABSOLUTELY no contest.
Gregory Perkins Yes, the Touring costs a lot more... but here they're comparing models under $23K MSRP (with Destination & Handling)... so in this context, the Civic wins hands down. Moreover, even the top trim (XSE) of the Corolla is no match for the mid trim (EX) of the Civic.
Superior handling, hardly comparing handling is nonsense it changes its all up to the owner and what he wants to do and how much they are willing to spend. I have a Corolla and have spent significant money on performance upgrades and it would beat a new Honda Civic when it comes to sporty ride and handling. I know because I've spent significant time driving a new Civic.
Corolla for practical reasons. Much lower maintenance costs, much lesser insurance cost, better reliability, much better on gas than a Civic. I would rather use my extra money to travel than spend it on a sportier car. What good is a sportier car if that does not give you money to travel and go places. Lol.
feels like a very biased review to me. I test drove a 2017 Honda Civic EAX when I went to go look at my 17 corolla SE. The civic I think was a wonderful vehicle, I don’t understand why reviewers gives a Corolla such a bad name. They didn’t mention the adaptive cruise control, what an amazing feature. I just think they’re very biased people in this review, which sucks because I’ve watch these people for years. But the Corolla is a good car don’t listen to them
$23k Better off buying an Accord Sport or if you want a Civic nevertheless, just get a Civic Sport Hatchback or Civic Hatchback EX (atleast the Civic Hatchback makes more sense than the Sedan's styling).
Toyota wins hands down for the cheap interior and being underpowered not to mention the dashboard in the Toyota Corolla looks ancient. The Honda Civic looks more aggressive, looks bigger, and has more power.
I must say, that just for the sports tuned SE trim, the Corolla handles really well, especially around corners and on curved roads and ramps. The EX due to it's pliant suspension, simply cannot be driven at the same speed on the same curves, the differences become even more noticeable when you drive during a rain. Ah the windshield wipers are also better in Corolla. But unless you are driving both of these cars daily and on the same route, you wouldn't notice these small things. If it's my money, I will of course buy the Civic. btw, my wife bought a corolla! ;). I sure did make my feelings known about the designer of the car (but not her choice lol).
totally agree, to the point that if this goes on for a few more years, Toyota (both Corolla and Camry) will cease to be a credible competitor to Honda (Civic and Accord).
As an owner of both currently, I can tell you that the civic is more fun to drive stock. my rolla has the typical basic shit exh, cai, tein coilovers, some nice ass window visors/rain guard, a roof lip and vortex and just took of my GT Spoiler. Hands down my rolla got many positive looks and I enjoy driving it still. It's an S premium from 2014 I think it still holds up well looks wise to the 2017 even though I love the front of the 17s. now let's talk civic, I have a hatch ST, its fully loaded like my rolla the difference is obvi in the looks, power, and believe it when I tell you it does better on gas too, I prob get like 70 more miles in the civic. it has a full blown eco mode, along with regular and sport mode. now I personally think the hatch calls way more attention then the 4 door civic and it's seems to be pretty rare on the streets still. I'm being very honest when I say the corolla interior is ancient but it feels better made. the civic has a very plastic feel even though the dash in general is way nicer to look at the sport comes with the red background light which is a nice touch. also just to add a different flavor if you guys want to look at something nice, there are guys lowering the C-HR and if you ask me it looks like what the rolla hatch should have been, I'm not a fan of the im. both are great cars don't get it twisted, but if your budget allows you to go for the civic hatch sport or sport touring go for it. It's just more fun right out the box with out the need for the usual upgrades. If your looking for something that looks aggressive but isn't, the rolla is for you. hope who ever reads this finds it helpful. take care fam.
After the unintended acceleration issues with Toyotas, Toyota's selling point now has to be safety (i.e. why the safety features (autonomous emergency braking) are now standard), although the 2013-2016 Corolla had a marginal small offset crash rating, with likely lower leg injury in that crash test. When I purchase cars, safety is the #1 selling feature, even before reliability.
Too much digital stuff in cars these days. I don't mind the trip computer showing mpg, miles to empty etc but the rest of the gauges? I much prefer the simplicity of analog. Also the touchscreen infotainment systems are too much for someone who just wants to get from point a to point b without breaking down and breaking the bank.
I wish Honda and Toyota would make some simple base models. Driving the same, but with less power options and features. Bring back the DX. That way we have a long lasting enjoyable car at a much lower price. I can get a Corolla LE, a well equipped car, jut slightly less so that the SE, for $15000. Not that bad! Now, make these cars less feature full, maybe we can get a great car for -13 grand. The Fit should at least offer a simpler model for that much, or less.
i just closed a deal on one today :) was cheaper in Canada, and i got free roadside assistance for 7 years!!! also - about $40 cheaper on insurance a month not even a close competitor
Amazing how many butt-hurt Toyota fanbois are showing up to defend -- the Corolla? It has been a dull lump of transportation for a while now. Of course it isn't as fun as the Civic. It hasn't been for a long, long time. The outcome of the comparison was very predictable.
yeah the Civic was so awesome last generation with its star trek 2 tier dash board. The new Civic yes is very nice inside but push it hard and have lots of fun you better change the tires and suspension because if not the only thing you will end up doing is going straight off the road.
People who own a Civic Or Toyota love what they own and will stand up for what they have. But Toyota is the number 1 car company in the world and will always be. Butt Hurt or not that is a fact.
D.J. Wheaton The redesign is going to be in 2019 & BMW will be producing the engine for the Corolla...Don't believe me? Just use your google,BMW & Toyota have worked together before & it has been said that the 2019 Corolla will have a BMW engine,now lets see ppl complain.
penvon Yikes. Let's hope Toyota can keep their reliability with BMW's engine. The thing puzzles me os that BMW & TOYOTA are working together. You may be right though, there may be good and bad things from it though.
D.J. Wheaton BMW engines are usually reliable,it's their other electronics that seem to be shaky & that GM built automatic transmissions they had in the early 2000's...(not sure if it's still being used)... Now with that being said,ppl will still hate on Toyota no matter what,but Toyota isn't worried,they'll still sell,they're better at navigating the market than Honda per say. www.google.ca/amp/www.digitaltrends.com/cars/toyotas-next-corolla-may-get-an-engine-swap-courtesy-of-bmw/amp/
Heyu Yoma Actually there are muny issues besides the infotainment system. just check out the civic forums and you'll see a ton of issues that will make you swear you'll never buy another new car in its first or second year.
I think the first year reliablity has been low for the Tacoma. They base this on the owners survey, they don't skew the data one way or another. Also this is the another 1st year redesign. Furthermore, it does seem like more and more cars are made to break down as this reaps huge profits for the car manufacturers..Sure, the cars/trucks/suvs that sell 30,000 a month or more like the RAV4, CRV, Camry, Corolla are prob going to be more reliable as these are the bread and butter of their respective companies. Yes, the Civic is supposed to be reliable, I think this go around is a little different as it's a huge redesign and the more expensive trimlines with more tech seem to have the most problems. Still, I've seen posts about welds, transmissions, seals, cracks, creaks, and on and on. There's a Civic sport hatch owner on UA-cam that loves his new ride but he already has had problems with several lights on the dash, causing the Civic to drive rough..he took it into the dealer and they had trouble replicating the problem. He still loves his car but he admits there's something to worry about..will the lights come back on? Will it be easily fixed? etc. It sucks to take a car back into the dealer the 1st or 2nd month you've had it. The Civic forum I follow has 905 posts about issues, repairs, etc. www.civicx.com/forums/issues-repairs-warranty-tsb-recalls.42/ It's not just Consumer Reports saying the reliablity of the new Civic is below standard. There's a whole lot of info out there that tells you something just isn't right.
Drove the new Civic nice inside but have to agree with Eric Haynes there is nothing to worry about mechanical wise on a Civic. Honda knows engines as good or better then anyone and their CVT is fantastic I also have to say CVT's are awesome liking them more and more. Way to go Honda and Toyota for standing by them and not worrying about what these so called enthusiast's say they don't make up the majority of the car buying market anyway.
I'm a Toyota fan but i ended up getting the Civic..the styling,more powerful engine and roomy bsck seat got me...i have to say the Civic is the best car i have owned so far..
It's not even a comparison if you want to talk about longevity and reliability Toyota beats Honda hands down Honda isn't what it used to be I know from personal experience
it is time for Toyota to go to 2.0 engine or a turbocharged engine as an option. I find the news style very nice and redesigned despite what they say in the video. Very nice Toyota and Honda.
Ok ok ok all you toyota hardcore fans. Toyota has only one good thing it's known for and that is it's reliability and dependability. But it has nothing else. I have owned 4 Hondas and just bought a 2018 Civic just like the one in this video. I don't know why y'all are bitching so much about Hondas. Toyota and Honda are the 2 best car brands on the market right now. Honda is just as reliable and dependable as Toyota. But I have to admit Toyota is lacking way behind when it comes to technology and their car designs. The Corolla look's like the typical average car design. It has nothing exciting about it and it rides like a piece of tin can on wheels. Their interior materials feel cheap and outdated. The Honda Civic on the other hand it feels modern and all their interior materials are perfectly crafted and stiched up like a luxury car. They handle so well and are fun to drive. After owning 2 Honda Civics, 1 Honda Accord and my current brand new 2018 Civic I will never buy anything else that is not a Honda. I have never had any kind of problems or anything has broke while owning a Honda product. Honda brand is the #1 best car brand in the Consumer Reports market. Fortunately Toyota is still #2. So my best advice to y'all Honda shunning people, Test drive a Honda Civic or any Honda vehicle and I will guarantee you, you will never go back to a Toyota. CHEERS!
Look at the real world. Toyota and Honda are both excellent in the real world. Corolla usually appeals to a more sedate or older kind of driver than the Civic. Honda drivers seem to be more agressive with their cars. To each their own. Consumer Reports and JD Power have lost a lot of credibility these last few years...
You can’t go wrong with a Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla! Just depends on what looks better to you. They go back and fourth on the features. These cars also run forever and cheap repair costs. Not to mention they sell quickly when trying to upgrade.
My brother owns a 2014 Civic and I just went on a 1000 mi road trip with him and will never do it again. I am 6'1" and was very cramped even though I had the front passenger seat all the way back. I think you guys need to consider comfort way above electronics, when recommending a car.
All these triggered Corolla owners be acting like the Corolla is soo much more reliable than the civic is kind of petty. Like stop trying to make the civic sound like a focus. Everyone knows that civics are reliable Japanese cars like the Corolla except the civic is a lot more refined with better handling, faster acceleration, and a much quieter engine.
ok lets say i want a compact car how much will it cost to get one with navigation built in not android auto because if it needs a cell signal most of vermont is spotty
Toyota any day anytime time ......they makes the best vehicles in the world ....forget about all the fancy shuff it takes you where you wants to go an bring you back ...everyday everytime.
I live in the UK and have just bought a Civic Hatchback 1.0 CVT, it is fun to drive and corners great, loads of safety features as standard, very pleased my choice. Ray H
i got a 2018 corolla le for 14700 + tax,tags ~ 16350 , civic lx was costing 17600 + tax,tags ~ 19400, its another 1000 $ for honda sensing which comes standard on the corolla, plus they had the 2 year maintenance thing on the corolla, saved myself the 4 grand.
Guys please which one do you advise me to buy? I am still unsure and if there is a better car than these two with a good price please advice me...I know nothing about cars 😖and I just passed my driving test..
The civic looks like a beetle with a 2.0 gas intake (eats more gas than a corolla 1.8). We're comparing roughly 18K for a corolla looking sedan vs the civic 23K looking beetle
I like the volume pad on the steering wheel much easier to higher or lower the volume. People say 23k is too much for the civic-ex but if you think about the blindside camera, back up camera, 7 inch touchscreen etc its not that bad of a price at all. I love riding around with the 158 hp engine weather its in economy, regular, or sport mode.
The Civic and Corolla used to be THE compact economy cars at the top of their class. They just aren't anymore. Long-term quality isn't what it used to be. These days you're better off saving a couple thousand and getting a better warranted Hyundai Elantra or Kia Forte, who have come a LONG way in the last 20yrs. With that being said, between these two choices, my money is on Civic. Seems like a much more substantial and better quality car. Corolla looks and seems rather cheap in comparison.
Well I have heard issues with the Honda engines and my 17 Corolla has 152,000 miles on it and still runs like new and I just recently seen a 2017 Corolla with nearly 300,000 miles on it
@@connordurham8216 I didn't say 4yrs ago that they are bad cars, I just said they aren't as good as they used to be. Since my comment, I bought a new 2018 Elantra and love it and have since driven a 2020 Corolla for several days as a rental while on vacation. The Elantra hands down is the nicer car. Better build quality, interior materials, and much more engaging to drive. Long-term reliability probably won't be as good as the Corolla, but I dislike the Corolla styling and the way it drives enough to still prefer the Elantra.
They are comparing a base model Civic to a upper trim Corolla. A base model Corolla is $18,500. Also all models of Toyota's come with standard Toyota safety sense. Civic has been having reliability issues since 2016. Toyota rock solid reliability. Toyota all the way.
Dude, that is not a base model Civic. EX? No no, the base model is LX, and EX is one of the upper trims. That being said, I still love Toyota... That's only because I have a Toyota though...
132 hp ? really Toyota is that the best you can do? Please tell your engineers and for that matter your designers and build a proper Corolla that is worthy of the history this storied company has. How about a modern take on the AE 86 ? Your Corolla is falling way behind of the Golf, Civic, 3, and Elantra
Wait, a corolla is 1.8 whereas the civic is 2.0. The civic eats more gas than a corolla. What? all the sudden you began shitting money? or gas is free where you're from?
Eddy Boh have you looked at the fuel economy of both cars...the civic comes with a 1.5 that is faster then the 2. The civic is almost the same fuel efficacy as the corolla but with more balls and better handleing.
Rear end of the civic is a eye sore. Front end of that Corolla looked better BEFORE this facelift. The next gen corolla should be dropping anytime now. Both are overpriced for what they are.
ER B if you honestly think these cars are worth 23 grand your stupid. You like to waste money. You like having car loans and you need to be in the newest car. They love people like you
You can get the new Civic with a 1.5l turbo and stick shift with near fully loaded (minus leather seats, Honda sensing, NAV, and the 450watt sound system (standard on coupe ex-t and above) for less then $22k and can be talked down to $21k.
I found it funny that they felt the civic handled better. SE has sports tuned suspensions, and if you know how to drive, is much more fun to drive.Of course, you have to wait for a year or so before the 'bucket' seats fit a normal person without hurting! I drive an EX and my wife bought an SE - I love driving the EX on highways for it's nice and soft pliant ride, but I often feel a lack of power and have to shift to S mode to overtake cars. In city streets, the way I drive, I prefer the SE, it feels planted on curves and corners, the EX has too soft a suspension and has light body roll issue. Both models are from 2015.
well, i have a feeling that the new Civic TYPE R will outhandle the Corolla SE mainly cause it has shocks that are valved for racing, it has brembo brakes up front, meaty sway bars, meaty tires, limited slip differential, and a stiff chassis. Plus it comes with 300hp and a short geared 6 speed manual transmission.
It may very well do that, but in this video they aren't comparing SE with type R, are they? :). Perhaps I should do some more research on the Type R since my lease on the EX will be up in a year or so
Man spot on review!!! Why do I say that? My wife drives a 2016 Corolla S. I have a 2017 Civic Touring. So I think I know the dynamics of these two cars. Not much has carried over from the 16 to the 17 Corolla other then the front fascia redesign and Toyota Sensing. To add on to what these two guys are saying, you get a lot more car with the Civic. Stylish, sportier, faster, more tech, bigger, and reliability. They literally beat the Corolla in every category. The center touchscreen stack are always needing work. Even in my new civic, it’s slow. My iPad Pro will smoke the civics and corollas navigation screen anyday hot or cold. But with the civic, you do get android and Apple car play. No third party app. The Garmin Navi in the civic are software upgradeable via usb flash drive. How cool is that? Corolla? NO. Civics got daytime running LEDs too. And boy they look sharp to go with full led headlamps including high beams. Oh wait, it standard for the touring version haha. The sport mode for the civic simiulates gear shift and opens up the throttle so you get that instant boost. Oh, there’s a turbo charger from the EX trim on up. Corolla? Again, NO. So what car do you choose? It’s a no brainer.
Ask any mechanic. The debate between the reliability and longevity of either Honda or Toyota are pretty much the same. The difference is, Honda simply has better styling and performance overall.
Travis I believe it's also the best seller in the U.S also, i think the Civic has been the best seller in the U.S and Canada for 17 years straight, the best selling vehicle in the world is the Corolla.
guy proulx The best selling vehicle in the U.S is the Ford F-150. But the Civic has surpassed the corolla in U.S sales. But world wide figures can be iffy bc some cars are renamed in different countries.
Travis I thought we were talking about cars in this segment, like i said, the Civic has been the best selling car in the U.S and Canada for 17 years straight, look it up, the Corolla is the best selling vehicle worldwide, last year alone over 1 million Corolla's were sold
Civic has an all new platform while the Corolla is old and not competitive. It's clear the Civic is automatically superior. Corolla will get the TNGA platform for MY 19 but that's awhile away.
I have the 2018 toyota corolla se and I love it, only thing that pisses me the fuck off is how the mph is all the way to the right and you can't get mph on the little screen in the middle.
Ok look here I am gonna compare these 2 sedans I'd say The Corolla because It's nice and I'm a big fan of Toyota but look If your obsessed with safety the Corolla is the car for you! You should also thank Toyota for making the Toyota Corolla standard
A lot of the standard (and understandable) Toyota love happening in the comments, but it's notable that Scotty Kilmer, an avid Toyota fan has changed his opinion with more recent Toyota products. The CVT is particularly bad in Corollas.
I have a 2017 Corolla xse with 152,000 miles and it runs like new never had any issues and I don’t mind the cvt I don’t even notice it and many others agree with me
Until Honda makes the advanced safety features standard or at least available on the LX, it is not competitive. As a family car, you must put a lot more weight on this.
I buy Hondas and my brother-in-law buys Toyotas. Neither of us has had problems in the last thirty years of buying cars and both run forever. You can't go wrong with either maker. Good video. Cheers.
Night Otter I had a Toyota Corolla best car I ever had never any issues reliable and great comfortable car. Work for Honda this past year deciding on either one
Not a single mention of standard safety features. Toyota has radar cruise control, forward collision prevention, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, auto on/off high beams.
Many car enthusiasts like myself actually love analog gauges by the way.
They did briefly at the end of
The Civic looks more stylish than the Corolla.
I personally am a fan of both brands but a quick internet search shows that you van get a 2017 corolla for way less than a civic and personally I want to save money if i can
I really don't know why all the car reviewers never mention anything about reliability?!!! Normal people should have to have some information about the cars reliability from people who owned similar cars in the past 5 years or so. No one really gives a damn now about 10 or 20 more hp or torque in these cars segment!
Just look at a 2007 corolla and 2007 civic and ask both owners how much money both spent on spare parts and service and you will know the difference between a good car and a reliable car which can run for 200k miles without a single problem. Toyota is always a winner
Let it age. Give it atleast 3 to 5 years.
True Corolla is more reliable to Civics. Honda is also reliable but Toyota is just more reliable and require less maintenance
How do you rate the reliability of a car that just came out at the time?
You know what I don't care what people say. I have a corolla 1994 this very day and boy, no rust what so ever and it's a freaking sturdy car. Runs very good no problem at all so screw all this crap.
Yeah but the 94 looked better than this mess
TOYOTA any day, they last like forever. You can die but the car you own will be alive.
The 2017 Toyota Corolla has 120 problems & defects reported by Corolla owners. The worst complaints are engine, transmission
Elio Teixeira and the 2017 civic has 244 problems reported by Civic owners. Among the top five are engine and brakes. Like if you’re just gonna spit out “facts” about the corolla, then you need to compare with the civic.
Michelle nice 👍🏿

Wow, this video sounds so biased!
Toyota fan LOL
@@MrScoobieman says the one that has a shitty ford for a profile pic
The only reason I'm interested in the Toyota is the longevity of it, all the other aspects I can ignore.
Like Honda didn't have it...
my mother got a 2016 corolla but before had a 03 accord, and the honda was reliable, she bought it used and got rid of it at around 230,000 kilometers mostly because she hated the V6's gas economy, now this new 2016 Corolla does about 7.6-7.9/100km depending if i'm the one driving lol, but for the first 1-2 seconds of taking off from a stop it feels like you almost don't have an engine, but it corners well, and would make a good economy daily driver if you care nothing for enthusiast car stuff.
I got a 1999 Corolla too, passed down from my dad, he drove it from the valley to the Bay area everyday, it has 361k miles and all it has no real issues other than a beat up interior and no A/C.
The corolla has a more comfortable ride than the Civic, a lil bit quiter too, at least from my experience
You are right, the Toyota is definitely less maintenance than Honda. It also has a much quieter and comfortable drive. If you want a sporty drive, then buy a real sports car like a Porsche!
of course Civic 🙌🙌
Id buy the Civic too but they ignore all the standard advanced safety features on the Corolla which are very significant and unheard of in a compact car, and will appeal to a lot of people. Loyal Toyota owners have always been the most pragmatic car buyers. That drives their used prices past the point of reasonable. Toyota should be applauded for adding all of that standard. Others will need to follow.
My 2003 Toyota Corolla just hit 300,000 Mi. Still runs good, doesn't burn oil, and sounds good.
Looks are always subjective. Stick to the facts: MPG, horsepower, features, safety ratings etc.
The Corolla is the best. It sells in over 180 countries. It's the number one compact car in the USA and world. I'm looking forward for the 2020 Corolla.
The civic they are testing is 21k not 23k...
Brent Cairns Yes, the Civic EX does start at 21K... but they probably have the Honda Sensing feature which adds $1000. With destination and handling it comes to $23K.
In my area $23,000 get you an EX-L model.
Kevin M. Maybe so... but here they are talking about the msrp.
Samiur Rahman even with the MSRP on an EX it's $21,000
automobiles.honda.com/civic-sedan#build-price
*Dealers set own prices.
Great comparison guys.The Civic has more power, superior handling, better features and fuel economy (31/42/36)... not even a close call... ABSOLUTELY no contest.
better features? well a loaded civic is a lot more money
Gregory Perkins Yes, the Touring costs a lot more... but here they're comparing models under $23K MSRP (with Destination & Handling)... so in this context, the Civic wins hands down. Moreover, even the top trim (XSE) of the Corolla is no match for the mid trim (EX) of the Civic.
Most people get 42 MPG highway on the Corolla.
uhh no? fuelly.com has 28 cars for 2017 and 135 for 2016 and 177 vehicles for 2015 and the avergae is about 31-32
Superior handling, hardly comparing handling is nonsense it changes its all up to the owner and what he wants to do and how much they are willing to spend. I have a Corolla and have spent significant money on performance upgrades and it would beat a new Honda Civic when it comes to sporty ride and handling. I know because I've spent significant time driving a new Civic.
Corolla for practical reasons. Much lower maintenance costs, much lesser insurance cost, better reliability, much better on gas than a Civic. I would rather use my extra money to travel than spend it on a sportier car. What good is a sportier car if that does not give you money to travel and go places. Lol.
Giscard Rous um I have 2 civics i travel and go places lmao that is what a car is for
Destiny Bordeaux ikr this guy sounds like an idioy
feels like a very biased review to me. I test drove a 2017 Honda Civic EAX when I went to go look at my 17 corolla SE. The civic I think was a wonderful vehicle, I don’t understand why reviewers gives a Corolla such a bad name. They didn’t mention the adaptive cruise control, what an amazing feature. I just think they’re very biased people in this review, which sucks because I’ve watch these people for years. But the Corolla is a good car don’t listen to them
$23k Better off buying an Accord Sport or if you want a Civic nevertheless, just get a Civic Sport Hatchback or Civic Hatchback EX (atleast the Civic Hatchback makes more sense than the Sedan's styling).
Toyota wins hands down for the cheap interior and being underpowered not to mention the dashboard in the Toyota Corolla looks ancient. The Honda Civic looks more aggressive, looks bigger, and has more power.
The dash looks designed by a dimwit carpenter who was mad after his wife refused to kiss him last night!
Anis So true but still nitwits will buy the Toyota Corolla for whatever reason they can come up with.
I must say, that just for the sports tuned SE trim, the Corolla handles really well, especially around corners and on curved roads and ramps. The EX due to it's pliant suspension, simply cannot be driven at the same speed on the same curves, the differences become even more noticeable when you drive during a rain. Ah the windshield wipers are also better in Corolla. But unless you are driving both of these cars daily and on the same route, you wouldn't notice these small things. If it's my money, I will of course buy the Civic.
btw, my wife bought a corolla! ;). I sure did make my feelings known about the designer of the car (but not her choice lol).
Anis Well Honda has done a great job with the Civic and no matter what anyone says Toyota will always be behind Honda in terms of almost everything.
totally agree, to the point that if this goes on for a few more years, Toyota (both Corolla and Camry) will cease to be a credible competitor to Honda (Civic and Accord).
As an owner of both currently, I can tell you that the civic is more fun to drive stock. my rolla has the typical basic shit exh, cai, tein coilovers, some nice ass window visors/rain guard, a roof lip and vortex and just took of my GT Spoiler. Hands down my rolla got many positive looks and I enjoy driving it still. It's an S premium from 2014 I think it still holds up well looks wise to the 2017 even though I love the front of the 17s. now let's talk civic, I have a hatch ST, its fully loaded like my rolla the difference is obvi in the looks, power, and believe it when I tell you it does better on gas too, I prob get like 70 more miles in the civic. it has a full blown eco mode, along with regular and sport mode. now I personally think the hatch calls way more attention then the 4 door civic and it's seems to be pretty rare on the streets still. I'm being very honest when I say the corolla interior is ancient but it feels better made. the civic has a very plastic feel even though the dash in general is way nicer to look at the sport comes with the red background light which is a nice touch. also just to add a different flavor if you guys want to look at something nice, there are guys lowering the C-HR and if you ask me it looks like what the rolla hatch should have been, I'm not a fan of the im. both are great cars don't get it twisted, but if your budget allows you to go for the civic hatch sport or sport touring go for it. It's just more fun right out the box with out the need for the usual upgrades. If your looking for something that looks aggressive but isn't, the rolla is for you. hope who ever reads this finds it helpful. take care fam.
Civic EX-T is great! Test drove a ton of stuff and nothing came close to competing within this price range. Love the turbo!
I would rather compare the Civic to the Elantra now honestly.
Corolla all the way. I've been burnt by a Honda one too many times.
Yeah my honda crv had 5 oil leaks 2014.
After the unintended acceleration issues with Toyotas, Toyota's selling point now has to be safety (i.e. why the safety features (autonomous emergency braking) are now standard), although the 2013-2016 Corolla had a marginal small offset crash rating, with likely lower leg injury in that crash test. When I purchase cars, safety is the #1 selling feature, even before reliability.
How much Honda paid you did you forget the engine problem and corolla outsells civic every month
Rafalp Gresiak duh because it's so fucking cheap
I may be wrong, but I think the C chape of the taillights is from the C in Civic. :D
Rebel Rouser youre definitely wrong
I personally would take the Camry than a Corolla. That thing has the smoothest gearbox I've ever felt.
Too much digital stuff in cars these days. I don't mind the trip computer showing mpg, miles to empty etc but the rest of the gauges? I much prefer the simplicity of analog. Also the touchscreen infotainment systems are too much for someone who just wants to get from point a to point b without breaking down and breaking the bank.
I wish Honda and Toyota would make some simple base models. Driving the same, but with less power options and features. Bring back the DX. That way we have a long lasting enjoyable car at a much lower price. I can get a Corolla LE, a well equipped car, jut slightly less so that the SE, for $15000. Not that bad! Now, make these cars less feature full, maybe we can get a great car for -13 grand. The Fit should at least offer a simpler model for that much, or less.
Base models don't sell... it's the expensive, fully loaded ones that do... go figure!
DX in Canada lol
Base models have lower profit margins, and cars in this segment and the fit operate on razor thin margins.
best sedan for rough road ???
i just closed a deal on one today :)
was cheaper in Canada, and i got free roadside assistance for 7 years!!!
also - about $40 cheaper on insurance a month
not even a close competitor
Amazing how many butt-hurt Toyota fanbois are showing up to defend -- the Corolla? It has been a dull lump of transportation for a while now. Of course it isn't as fun as the Civic. It hasn't been for a long, long time. The outcome of the comparison was very predictable.
yeah the Civic was so awesome last generation with its star trek 2 tier dash board. The new Civic yes is very nice inside but push it hard and have lots of fun you better change the tires and suspension because if not the only thing you will end up doing is going straight off the road.
Who would have ever thought that a car like the AE86 would evolve into something like this? It's crazy..
whoobibi it’s like the Chevy Cruze BORING!
People who own a Civic Or Toyota love what they own and will stand up for what they have. But Toyota is the number 1 car company in the world and will always be. Butt Hurt or not that is a fact.
Both overpriced, but the I hope Toyota gives the Corolla a nice redesign for 2018.
Toyota's redesigns keep getting worse.
Justin David Eh. I think they did better with the all-new Camry, but that's my opinion.
D.J. Wheaton The redesign is going to be in 2019 & BMW will be producing the engine for the Corolla...Don't believe me? Just use your google,BMW & Toyota have worked together before & it has been said that the 2019 Corolla will have a BMW engine,now lets see ppl complain.
penvon Yikes. Let's hope Toyota can keep their reliability with BMW's engine. The thing puzzles me os that BMW & TOYOTA are working together. You may be right though, there may be good and bad things from it though.
D.J. Wheaton BMW engines are usually reliable,it's their other electronics that seem to be shaky & that GM built automatic transmissions they had in the early 2000's...(not sure if it's still being used)...
Now with that being said,ppl will still hate on Toyota no matter what,but Toyota isn't worried,they'll still sell,they're better at navigating the market than Honda per say.

I really like the Corolla. I would get it. But I do think the back of the Corolla needs an update. The front looks really good to me.
What’s the 0-60 in the civic?
you don't want to see a mechanic? go for corolla, you want fun? go civic
Salamander IRQ I've always had a civic never had to see mechanic but for oil change and I drive alot.
I like corolla 2018
I will choose the Toyota Corolla anyday Hands down. Those two idiots testing both cars is very narrow minded and bias.
are you guys based in Austin TX????
my dream car honda civic
aaanndddd the Civic is rated a 57 by Consumer Reports because of all the problems this new radical design is causing.
Heyu Yoma Actually there are muny issues besides the infotainment system. just check out the civic forums and you'll see a ton of issues that will make you swear you'll never buy another new car in its first or second year.
ya i dont believe them after they said the tacoma was very unreliable and not to buy it
I think the first year reliablity has been low for the Tacoma. They base this on the owners survey, they don't skew the data one way or another. Also this is the another 1st year redesign.
Furthermore, it does seem like more and more cars are made to break down as this reaps huge profits for the car manufacturers..Sure, the cars/trucks/suvs that sell 30,000 a month or more like the RAV4, CRV, Camry, Corolla are prob going to be more reliable as these are the bread and butter of their respective companies.
Yes, the Civic is supposed to be reliable, I think this go around is a little different as it's a huge redesign and the more expensive trimlines with more tech seem to have the most problems. Still, I've seen posts about welds, transmissions, seals, cracks, creaks, and on and on. There's a Civic sport hatch owner on UA-cam that loves his new ride but he already has had problems with several lights on the dash, causing the Civic to drive rough..he took it into the dealer and they had trouble replicating the problem. He still loves his car but he admits there's something to worry about..will the lights come back on? Will it be easily fixed? etc. It sucks to take a car back into the dealer the 1st or 2nd month you've had it.
The Civic forum I follow has 905 posts about issues, repairs, etc. www.civicx.com/forums/issues-repairs-warranty-tsb-recalls.42/
It's not just Consumer Reports saying the reliablity of the new Civic is below standard. There's a whole lot of info out there that tells you something just isn't right.
vlog adventures with rob? i love his videos
Drove the new Civic nice inside but have to agree with Eric Haynes there is nothing to worry about mechanical wise on a Civic. Honda knows engines as good or better then anyone and their CVT is fantastic I also have to say CVT's are awesome liking them more and more. Way to go Honda and Toyota for standing by them and not worrying about what these so called enthusiast's say they don't make up the majority of the car buying market anyway.
Nice to see two Honda fan boys pick a Honda lol
I'm beyond happy with my 2017 Corolla XSE!
I love my Corolla xse too such a great car
@@connordurham8216 Agreed!
Best video they've done. Less boring than normal for sure.
I'm a Toyota fan but i ended up getting the Civic..the styling,more powerful engine and roomy bsck seat got me...i have to say the Civic is the best car i have owned so far..
It's not even a comparison if you want to talk about longevity and reliability Toyota beats Honda hands down Honda isn't what it used to be I know from personal experience
What about the gas mileage?
it is time for Toyota to go to 2.0 engine or a turbocharged engine as an option. I find the news style very nice and redesigned despite what they say in the video. Very nice Toyota and Honda.
3:06 "reasonably responsive" damn, not for me...
Can you do a comparison between the Elantra and the corolla
can anyone explain what a cvt is?
Great to see Mays and Bruzek doing a review together...U guys rock...
Ok ok ok all you toyota hardcore fans. Toyota has only one good thing it's known for and that is it's reliability and dependability. But it has nothing else. I have owned 4 Hondas and just bought a 2018 Civic just like the one in this video. I don't know why y'all are bitching so much about Hondas. Toyota and Honda are the 2 best car brands on the market right now. Honda is just as reliable and dependable as Toyota. But I have to admit Toyota is lacking way behind when it comes to technology and their car designs. The Corolla look's like the typical average car design. It has nothing exciting about it and it rides like a piece of tin can on wheels. Their interior materials feel cheap and outdated. The Honda Civic on the other hand it feels modern and all their interior materials are perfectly crafted and stiched up like a luxury car. They handle so well and are fun to drive. After owning 2 Honda Civics, 1 Honda Accord and my current brand new 2018 Civic I will never buy anything else that is not a Honda. I have never had any kind of problems or anything has broke while owning a Honda product. Honda brand is the #1 best car brand in the Consumer Reports market. Fortunately Toyota is still #2. So my best advice to y'all Honda shunning people, Test drive a Honda Civic or any Honda vehicle and I will guarantee you, you will never go back to a Toyota. CHEERS!
Toyota Corolla is the number one selling car in the world right now so please do your research before posting the consumer reports.
civic is 100.00.000 times better than corolla!
Lol preachh
Look at the real world. Toyota and Honda are both excellent in the real world. Corolla usually appeals to a more sedate or older kind of driver than the Civic. Honda drivers seem to be more agressive with their cars. To each their own. Consumer Reports and JD Power have lost a lot of credibility these last few years...
ur time is wrong man
You can’t go wrong with a Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla! Just depends on what looks better to you. They go back and fourth on the features. These cars also run forever and cheap repair costs. Not to mention they sell quickly when trying to upgrade.
My brother owns a 2014 Civic and I just went on a 1000 mi road trip with him and will never do it again. I am 6'1" and was very cramped even though I had the front passenger seat all the way back. I think you guys need to consider comfort way above electronics, when recommending a car.
Treasure Hunter but this one was a 2017 my husband is 6 foot has no complaints in ours.
It's not a luxury SUV for 1000 mile journey lol, it's for a quick rip down the highway to work and back
All these triggered Corolla owners be acting like the Corolla is soo much more reliable than the civic is kind of petty. Like stop trying to make the civic sound like a focus. Everyone knows that civics are reliable Japanese cars like the Corolla except the civic is a lot more refined with better handling, faster acceleration, and a much quieter engine.
GPS works in Corolla SE 2017, cause I have one but I cannot find the GPS function in it... How we use that? Or we cannot use GPS in it?
ok lets say i want a compact car how much will it cost to get one with navigation built in not android auto because if it needs a cell signal most of vermont is spotty
Gregory Perkins check out a 17 Honda accord ex
Toyota any day anytime time ......they makes the best vehicles in the world ....forget about all the fancy shuff it takes you where you wants to go an bring you back ...everyday everytime.
I live in the UK and have just bought a Civic Hatchback 1.0 CVT, it is fun to drive and corners great, loads of safety features as standard, very pleased my choice.
Ray H
i got a 2018 corolla le for 14700 + tax,tags ~ 16350 , civic lx was costing 17600 + tax,tags ~ 19400, its another 1000 $ for honda sensing which comes standard on the corolla, plus they had the 2 year maintenance thing on the corolla, saved myself the 4 grand.
Guys please which one do you advise me to buy? I am still unsure and if there is a better car than these two with a good price please advice me...I know nothing about cars 😖and I just passed my driving test..
I'd prefer the Toyota Corolla SE - XSE .
Civic all day baby. Yeeah such a beast
The civic looks like a beetle with a 2.0 gas intake (eats more gas than a corolla 1.8). We're comparing roughly 18K for a corolla looking sedan vs the civic 23K looking beetle
I like the volume pad on the steering wheel much easier to higher or lower the volume. People say 23k is too much for the civic-ex but if you think about the blindside camera, back up camera, 7 inch touchscreen etc its not that bad of a price at all. I love riding around with the 158 hp engine weather its in economy, regular, or sport mode.
Kyle Evans The EX-T is less then $22k and that comes with a 1.5l turbo and manual (cvt is optional).
The Civic and Corolla used to be THE compact economy cars at the top of their class. They just aren't anymore. Long-term quality isn't what it used to be. These days you're better off saving a couple thousand and getting a better warranted Hyundai Elantra or Kia Forte, who have come a LONG way in the last 20yrs. With that being said, between these two choices, my money is on Civic. Seems like a much more substantial and better quality car. Corolla looks and seems rather cheap in comparison.
Well I have heard issues with the Honda engines and my 17 Corolla has 152,000 miles on it and still runs like new and I just recently seen a 2017 Corolla with nearly 300,000 miles on it
@@connordurham8216 I didn't say 4yrs ago that they are bad cars, I just said they aren't as good as they used to be. Since my comment, I bought a new 2018 Elantra and love it and have since driven a 2020 Corolla for several days as a rental while on vacation. The Elantra hands down is the nicer car. Better build quality, interior materials, and much more engaging to drive. Long-term reliability probably won't be as good as the Corolla, but I dislike the Corolla styling and the way it drives enough to still prefer the Elantra.
They are comparing a base model Civic to a upper trim Corolla. A base model Corolla is $18,500. Also all models of Toyota's come with standard Toyota safety sense. Civic has been having reliability issues since 2016. Toyota rock solid reliability. Toyota all the way.
DougRulz base model doesn't have touch screen or sunroof.
21k. I know I own one
That’s not a base Civic.
Dude, that is not a base model Civic. EX? No no, the base model is LX, and EX is one of the upper trims.
That being said, I still love Toyota... That's only because I have a Toyota though...
Civic sedan trims from lowest to highest (not including Si): LX, EX, EX-T, EX-L, Touring.
132 hp ? really Toyota is that the best you can do? Please tell your engineers and for that matter your designers and build a proper Corolla that is worthy of the history this storied company has. How about a modern take on the AE 86 ? Your Corolla is falling way behind of the Golf, Civic, 3, and Elantra
alpha7ization so agreed
Wait, a corolla is 1.8 whereas the civic is 2.0. The civic eats more gas than a corolla. What? all the sudden you began shitting money? or gas is free where you're from?
Eddy Boh have you looked at the fuel economy of both cars...the civic comes with a 1.5 that is faster then the 2. The civic is almost the same fuel efficacy as the corolla but with more balls and better handleing.
Rear end of the civic is a eye sore. Front end of that Corolla looked better BEFORE this facelift.
The next gen corolla should be dropping anytime now. Both are overpriced for what they are.
Toyota4Life how is the Civic overpriced?
ER B if you honestly think these cars are worth 23 grand your stupid. You like to waste money. You like having car loans and you need to be in the newest car. They love people like you
you didn't explain how its overpriced?
You can get the new Civic with a 1.5l turbo and stick shift with near fully loaded (minus leather seats, Honda sensing, NAV, and the 450watt sound system (standard on coupe ex-t and above) for less then $22k and can be talked down to $21k.
uhhh no
I think the Civic is a lot better, but it's more expensive. So why shouldn't it be?
I found it funny that they felt the civic handled better. SE has sports tuned suspensions, and if you know how to drive, is much more fun to drive.Of course, you have to wait for a year or so before the 'bucket' seats fit a normal person without hurting! I drive an EX and my wife bought an SE - I love driving the EX on highways for it's nice and soft pliant ride, but I often feel a lack of power and have to shift to S mode to overtake cars. In city streets, the way I drive, I prefer the SE, it feels planted on curves and corners, the EX has too soft a suspension and has light body roll issue. Both models are from 2015.
well, i have a feeling that the new Civic TYPE R will outhandle the Corolla SE mainly cause it has shocks that are valved for racing, it has brembo brakes up front, meaty sway bars, meaty tires, limited slip differential, and a stiff chassis. Plus it comes with 300hp and a short geared 6 speed manual transmission.
It may very well do that, but in this video they aren't comparing SE with type R, are they? :). Perhaps I should do some more research on the Type R since my lease on the EX will be up in a year or so
Toyota Corolla SE is really good, High gas mileage. Toyota safety sense and Very smooth, reliable car with 2 year Toyota care
Always toyota
Man spot on review!!! Why do I say that? My wife drives a 2016 Corolla S. I have a 2017 Civic Touring. So I think I know the dynamics of these two cars. Not much has carried over from the 16 to the 17 Corolla other then the front fascia redesign and Toyota Sensing.
To add on to what these two guys are saying, you get a lot more car with the Civic. Stylish, sportier, faster, more tech, bigger, and reliability. They literally beat the Corolla in every category.
The center touchscreen stack are always needing work. Even in my new civic, it’s slow. My iPad Pro will smoke the civics and corollas navigation screen anyday hot or cold. But with the civic, you do get android and Apple car play. No third party app. The Garmin Navi in the civic are software upgradeable via usb flash drive. How cool is that? Corolla? NO.
Civics got daytime running LEDs too. And boy they look sharp to go with full led headlamps including high beams. Oh wait, it standard for the touring version haha.
The sport mode for the civic simiulates gear shift and opens up the throttle so you get that instant boost. Oh, there’s a turbo charger from the EX trim on up. Corolla? Again, NO.
So what car do you choose? It’s a no brainer.
Ask any mechanic. The debate between the reliability and longevity of either Honda or Toyota are pretty much the same.
The difference is, Honda simply has better styling and performance overall.
are you guys making advertisement for honda? it sounds so biased...
Latest Camry vs Latest Accord, please?!
I wonder which of these 2 cars is the best seller worldwide
guy proulx it comes down to pricing and if the vehicle is even available in the country. The Civic is the best selling compact in Canada.
Travis I believe it's also the best seller in the U.S also, i think the Civic has been the best seller in the U.S and Canada for 17 years straight, the best selling vehicle in the world is the Corolla.
guy proulx The best selling vehicle in the U.S is the Ford F-150. But the Civic has surpassed the corolla in U.S sales. But world wide figures can be iffy bc some cars are renamed in different countries.
Travis I thought we were talking about cars in this segment, like i said, the Civic has been the best selling car in the U.S and Canada for 17 years straight, look it up, the Corolla is the best selling vehicle worldwide, last year alone over 1 million Corolla's were sold
guy proulx yup you are correct. I was just throwing the f-150 out there as being the #1 selling vehicle in the U.S.
Civic has an all new platform while the Corolla is old and not competitive. It's clear the Civic is automatically superior. Corolla will get the TNGA platform for MY 19 but that's awhile away.
DOA video on the Elantra vs the corolla
The Civic is pretty much a midsize car now. It's the same size as a Fusion.
Compare the civic with the mazda 3
My civic lasted way longer than my corolla
love my ext it's awesome!
The civic 👍🏻
You gotta admit that the civic engine is lil bit better than Toyota.... and I own a Toyota
You forgot the radar cruise control in the Toyota.
Of course, the Chervolet Camaro is better than both of them, but also, cost more.....
Transformers fan anyone??
I have the 2018 toyota corolla se and I love it, only thing that pisses me the fuck off is how the mph is all the way to the right and you can't get mph on the little screen in the middle.
Ok look here I am gonna compare these 2 sedans I'd say The Corolla because It's nice and I'm a big fan of Toyota but look If your obsessed with safety the Corolla is the car for you! You should also thank Toyota for making the Toyota Corolla standard
I AM TOO
3:22 Guy looks like Hawkeye
Salty Toyota Fanboys below, beware.
Unknown Entity oh but if it was the other way around Honda bitches would be mad
Worth the money
A lot of the standard (and understandable) Toyota love happening in the comments, but it's notable that Scotty Kilmer, an avid Toyota fan has changed his opinion with more recent Toyota products. The CVT is particularly bad in Corollas.
I have a 2017 Corolla xse with 152,000 miles and it runs like new never had any issues and I don’t mind the cvt I don’t even notice it and many others agree with me
A 2016 civic is over $22k, a loaded 2016 corolla XLE is under $14k.
Until Honda makes the advanced safety features standard or at least available on the LX, it is not competitive. As a family car, you must put a lot more weight on this.
Jason Chen I don't really think this car was meant to be a family car you may want to look more into it like vans or SUV's
LED headlight is luring me
