I’d take the Civic

The civic of course!!!

Idk why people want a silent engine. When my car accelerates. I wanna hear the engine.

I've worked at both dealerships and drove countless of both of these. In my opinion the civic feels way better quality wise and drives smoother. I'd definitely go with a 1.5 turbo civic witch does 174 hp.

I've owned 3 Corollas; 2009, 2015 and 2017. They're solid, reliable basic transportation. I'm debating between another Corolla and the Civic; based on what I need the Civic has a slight advantage.

Thank you so much. This is the very comparison that I have been waiting for. Corolla SE 6MT vs Civic Sedan Sport 6MT. I agree with you that this is a tough choice. But for me the Civic wins due to its more spacious feel and smooth stick shifting. I'd miss the Corolla SE 6MT's moonroof and hill start assist though. But my final verdict will come to this: which one has a timing chain? I always fear timing belts.

Honda civic looks bigger!!! I got a 2020 honda civic sport 6 speen manual..i love it

Corolla...I love the styling and the sunroof is a must for me #savethemanuals #6MT

To get the push button start and moonroof on the SE Corolla CVT, you need to get the premium package

I'll take the one made in Japan 👍

What is the Corolla hatchback in manual like compared to the sedan? Driving, interior and trunk space, fun, etc....???

The 2021 Toyota Corolla sedan has Apple Carplay & Android Auto. 2021 Corolla sedan has been on sale in American & Canadian dealerships since June 1st, 2020.

Better to have more reliability than looks! Turbo engines don’t last and are more expensive to repair! Most dealers (in CA) don’t have manual civics/corolla. You have to put in a request for manual; which neglects any discounts! If you have more money, and want more sporty, get civic! If you have less money (for repairs; etc) and want longer lasting car, get a corolla! All ‘21 corollas have android auto!

You didnt include the 1.5 turbo civic that does 174 hp. The acceleration is pretty smooth for what it is.

One thing that will separate these two is local dealerships. Go to both Honda and Toyota and look around and talk to the sales force. Stick your head into service center as well. First impressions are real!

I'm shopping for an economy car and you cant go wrong with either civic or Corolla.. both would last you a lifetime with good maintenance

Great comparison, George. Both are compelling options, there really is no wrong choice! If buying the Honda, I would definitely avoid the higher trims with the turbo engine. Past oil dilution issues plus the inherent poor reliability of turbocharged engines is why I would avoid. Toyota also comes with 2 years of free maintenance which isn't offered by Honda. Plus Toyota dealerships usually give much larger discounts than Honda dealers. Honda salespeople/sales managers tend to be snooty and act offended if you want to pay less than MSRP.

Maybe it's different in the USA, but that exact civic DOES come with a moonroof in Canada. A family member has one.

Android Auto is being added for 2021. A problem with the Civic's infotainment system is that is an angle that the sun can reflect on and is lower

The Civic is probably the better car, but it's down right fugly. The Corolla it is

If I could, I would get an Aegean Blue Metallic Civic Sport Sedan like this one, and the dark blue Corolla SE sedan, but I would spring for the XSE if I could. I wanted the Civic Sport for a long time, but now intend to get the Corolla SE/XSE instead, for many reasons. Both have N/A 2.0L engines for decent power and reliability over the Tirbo GDI engines of the upper trim Civics. The 6 speed is standard and CVT extra cost on the Civic Sport, but finding a 6 speed is hard, especially if you want a certain color. The Civic Sport is well equipped when it debuted for 2019, with the 2020 turbo Sport Hatchback finally getting all the things the Sport Sedan/Coupe had the previous year. The Sport Hatchback also has nice new wheels, though the ones on this Sport Sedan looks better for this application. Some of the shots of the Civic Sport Hatchback are the previous version without the cosmetic upgrades. The Civic is more roomy inside, along with the trunk, but I am 5'6" and hardly have passengers, especially larger ones. Still a nice car for its intended target consumer. The Corolla Hatchback is basically the carryover Scion with improvements, which is essentially a new version of the Matrix hatchback. The Corolla SE Sedan 6speed us extra cost, and also not as easy to find. With a few differences, you get almost everything the XSE has. On the outside, except for the trim badges, they are identical, except for the available adaptive headlights on the XSE, the gunmetal grey rear spoiler, instead of the body colored one, and the smoked tint on the XSE taillights, which you could put tint on to save cistvif buying XSE taillights for the SE. I don't think most police would know the difference or care to bother, since it comes factory OEM on the XSE. Also the SE does not have the hood liner, which I believe you could get if you wanted it. The SE also has the exterior rear view mirror turn signals and sunroof, that the Civic Sports do not have. Some say the Civic Sport handles better that the Corolla SE. But both are great for what they are. The drivetrain is the same as the XSE, but with the 6 Speed, you lose some available options, like the JBL 800 watt stereo, which is a must and big plus over the 180 watt Civic Sport system. On another review, a make who stated he works for Toyota insisted that the XSE was available with the 6 Speed and the JBL stereo, but I never saw it anywhere in reviews or the Toyota website, so they must be unicorns. Ultra rare and not mentioned on their website, just like the TRD Camry to order, as well as the option package for the Camry. As far as the Android Auto, it was not available in early production 2020 Corollas, but is available now. You may have had one that is one of those that was sitting around and didn't sell. I believe the 2020 models can update it via software. Most of the differences between the SE and XSE are in the interior. The SE cloth seats seem maybe similar to the Civic Si seats, though not as fancy. The XSE has fancier inside door pull handle trim, the onboard navigation on the base and JBL stereo, ambient interior lighting, and the wireless phone charger, which may be available as a dealer installed accessory on the SE. And the XSE has the fancier LED instrument panel. The Softex simulated leather trim is pretty nice, though I am not totally win over by the blue striped fabric insert design. I think that's all the differences I can imagine, except the Corolla has 225 series tires except 235 on the Civic Sport. Both look great, but the Civic Sedan body is so common. So the Corolla SE is a competitive price to the Civic Sport with more equipment, including the available high power JBL stereo that would normally only be previously available on the XSE Camry, and not the Corolla until the 2019 Corolla Hatchback came out. So if you can do without the few differences of the XSE and save money, the Corolla SE is great. You can use that money for OEM accessories like the weather floor and trunk mats, hood liner, blacked out exterior emblems, tinted windows, etc.

*Leasing?* Buy a Civic 1.5T. More fun to drive and you won't care as much about long term reliability issues. Just turn it in at the end and lease a new one or move on to a different car/brand. *Plan to Own long term?* Toyota Corolla. 'Nuff Said.

I'd say both are reliable cars. One thing to note for Toyota though is the parts are a bit cheaper and Toyota outsources their transmissions while Honda builds their own transmissions in-house. Not that that's a bad thing, but keep in mind that Honda doesn't specialize in building transmissions while Toyota sources their transmissions from a company that does nothing but make transmissions.

I had a '00 5 speed manual 1.8 litre corolla back in 2002 bone stock. I would smoke modded civic SI's. I raced 5 of them in one night (A civic car club), beat every single one.

2 door Civic Coupe looks good. But I'll take the Corolla SE with the manual, sunroof and bullet proof Toyota reliability.

Toyota corolla car 2020 SE upgrade Best by Design over Civic.... I picked up Corolla 2020 SE.... Love it

I like the Honda’s front and the corolla’s back end.

Civic for the win as usual.

This is like, Corolla is better, but Civic feels better ...

The Corolla was just completely redesigned while the Civic was redesigned in 2016

Civic all the way. Looks more sportier

HONDA CIVIC FOR THE WIN!...both nice, but civic is more comfy and better design and quality..corolla interior is cheap..not as comfy.

CIVIC FOR THE WIN for sure. Civic is better in every category

Technically the Corolla hatchback is a Mazda 623. I'll go for the Honda.

Why are they sticking us with the CVT transmissions? The old auto transmissions were better and faster. Not everyone wants to shift. I love my 2010 civic but love the look of this new Corolla.

civic looks like a hot wheels human scale car

It’s a tough choice. If we re talking about the non turbo civic then they both tie imo. If we’re talking about a corolla XSE vs a civic Touring, then I’d unquestionably take the corolla. The civic may be faster but somehow the 1.5T oil dilution and Honda’s lower reliability does worry me enough to pick the corolla as the safer choice over the civic

Civic is better quality. The only thing there's missing is blind spot and rear traffic alert which should be standard.

CAMRY'S LOOK WAY COOLER/BETTER WITH THE TRUNK/REAR SPOILER WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT

And call your insurance agent for the price difference in insurance premiums applicable to each car. Civic is the most stolen car in America, so I'm guessing, a Civic would cost more to insure. Remember, car insurance is a yearly, ongoing cost.

Um.... the civic sport has a 1.5l turbo with 180hp. The they don't come with the 2.0 anymore

Woah you make crypto videos too!?

I think civic is better option

Trust me get Toyota se in black it will look sick

Toyota

I dont like civic style since 2017 they looks ugly I don't know but I like more older version like civic 2007 or civic 2015, toyota corolla in 2020 really makes a beautiful car Omg it really looks beautiful

Those numbers are abysmal from Honda 2.0... I get that it's not an Si but damn...

Next do Sentra vs Corolla

I'm going to test a si civic, I've owned only Chevy and Toyota but find the Corolla to seem bland, the si has moonroof and 200 hp

Toyota says no more boring cars

Got the civic sport, kinda feels cheap... its an okay car, the interior is the cheap looking things

Toyota anyday Honda is also reliable

The Corolla look the best

I’ll take dual injection over just Direct injection any day

I have android auto im my corrola

The Civic body styling looks much better than the Corolla. Just my opinion.

in 25 year: this still runs without any engine problems

The Corolla has better LED headlights

The civic a better small family car.

Not even close to jetta gli
