    I think the Civic Hatch is probably more fun to drive, but if you are keeping a car for a long time I think the Corolla's the way to go. There's a reason why Toyota who is obsessed with reliability sticks with naturally aspirated instead of turbocharging everything. Honda's new turbos are starting to have issues (e.g. CR-V) and no one knows how turbo engines will hold up in 10 years.

    I've been a long time Honda Civic fan and owner, but this time I opted for a change. I've had my Corolla Hatch for 2 months and LOVE it! Honda's 1.5L turbo felt great but I was concerned about the high oil issues, carbon buildup and potential long-term problems. Sales staff were in denial about these issues... turned me off. Corolla is fun at higher revs. Interior is a bit noisy and smaller. Very happy with this car- so far.

    One of the biggest reasons to get the Corolla HB XSE over a Civic EX-T (now discontinued for 2019), Civic Sport sedan (new for 2019), or the Civic Si is the amenities.
    The Corolla HB XSE is basically the Civic Touring (since it's the top trim), but offered with a manual, which Honda isn't offering. While the Corolla HB isn't as fun or fast to drive, you're getting a lot more in luxuries/amenities (e.g., standard safety tech, blind-spot monitoring, leather seats, heating steering wheel, auto rev-matching, etc.) in exchange.
    If you consider all those extras a waste of money, then the Civic is the way to go. If you'd rather sacrifice performance for more comfort, than the Corolla HB is the way to go. Well, at least until Honda offers a Civic Touring w/ a manual transmission in the US, anyway.
    Either way, you can't go wrong with either car. And we should all be grateful Toyota even bothered to put a decent manual in the new Corolla HB. Having more options to pick from for manual-equipped cars is a good thing!

    • @skifree0
      @skifree0 5 років тому +1

      Ironically the situation is completely reversed in canada. The XSE doesn't come with a manual up here, so you are stuck with the CVT if you want everything. And then on top of that, The Canadian Si is based on the touring spec.

    I would pick this Corolla over the Civic hatchback because (1) the Civic is built in England, (2) the Civic does not have port injection (causing eventual clog-up behind the intake valves), (3) the Civic has a turbo, and (4) the Corolla's manual transmission works perfectly in conjunction with the adaptive cruise control (might need to get the XSE Corolla for this -- not sure).

    Here's an interesting thing: the Civic and Corolla don't actually compete directly (except for the feature lacking base model Civic).
    The price point of a mid-level Civic (e.g. the one with a Turbo) is actually about the same as a Camry SE.
    People go with Corollas because they're usually about $5000 cheaper, and ironically with more features at that price point.
