      You think that the Civic and Corolla have equivalent levels of interior/driving ergonomics? Gonna disagree if so, and that's a huge point for long term ownership. Honda transmissions are vastly superior, both CVT and Manual. Haven't driven a tq converter auto of either since the 90's, and auto's were all dog doo doo back then anyway.

      That's good to know as a new owner of an 09 with 87k. A lot of the issues it has are not exclusive to it, and being a redesign year it's going to have its quirks. Once the recalls and concerns are taken care of it should be plenty reliable especially if you have the 1.8L engine.

    The first car I bought was a 2005 Honda Civic LX, which I bought new. Lasted me for over 16 years and put almost 207,000 miles on it. Issues I had was a bad alternator and starter. Replaced my brakes twice. No problem with the AC. I probably could’ve driven it for another year or so but the head gasket went bad and the cost to fix it wasn’t with it. Before I got my Honda I was planning on getting a Toyota Corolla. In January 2021, I ended up buying a 2021 Toyota C-HR as I got a better deal than 2021 Honda C-RV. I will always have a soft spot for my Honda Civic. Both great car companies!

    I bought my 2004 Corolla at 160k miles, and I'll admit, I've abused the hell out of that car. I've not always had the money needed to keep up with the repairs, and I finally start earning some decent money and it gave out on me. It just passed 250k miles and I'm needing to replace the engine due to rod knock. And the funny thing is that it's been so reliable the past five years I've owned it, even when I've not put in the time and effort into maintaining it, that I'm probably going to end up putting another engine in it. It's gotten me through several road trips and is surprisingly fun to drive. If I do end up doing the engine swap, I'm going to maintain it to see just how long I can keep it going, even if it means spending another 5+ years with this car!

So now I have a perfectly running engine but electrical issues. The wiring to the speed sensor must've broken somehow, because I no longer have a working instrument cluster.

      A good oil undercoat will go a long way to protect from rust. I live in NH and use a product known as NHOU (New Hampshire Oil Undercoat). Like any other product, people will argue to no end which is best. I’ve used the clear formula on a new F-150 before it ever saw salt and treated every year. It gets sprayed inside the panels and frame as well as coating everything else underneath. Years later, the difference is clear when compared to similar models were were obviously never treated and exposed to winter salts. If it’s an older vehicle, it will still help, but not as much since any rust that has already started will continue to cause damage, but a thorough undercoat will slow it down considerably. The shop here is reputable and will do the inside/outside treatment for about $200 if you can’t do it yourself, but the cost compared with repairing the frame or body is much more. Once a year is typically all you need, usually the fall is a good time for that.

The Honda Civic has more edge and seems more stylish which is why I prefer it, even though the Corolla likely has the slight edge in reliability.

    When it comes to reliability then only 1 name is in mind that is Corolla

    Hey Scotty,
    I like you videos keep it up 👍
    I had a 2016 Honda Civic LX
    And yes I had problems whit the Civic with just 60,000 miles, I had to changed the whole AC System to had it working and cooling again, I think that I spend less then $900 but just that, the Civic Was Great on Gas and Maintenance
