I'll take either one. I have been a loyal Honda customer for 10 plus years, and I'll have no issues owning a Toyota. I still want Honda and Toyota to make one model car together. Honda can do the engine, Toyota can do the transmission, and they both can do the body style and accessories etc...
Imagine if Toyota had a partnership with Honda instead of Subaru in the late 2000s so the FRS/86 They could have used Honda & yamaha Cylinder head technology and possibly made an even better K series. I can only imagine :(
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.
I’m a loyal Toyota lady, having owned many. I currently have a Corolla and I love it. Both my sons also drive Toyotas. If I didn’t have a thing for Toyotas, Honda would be my next choice. They are both good reliable vehicles.
@@peacebewu I’m currently driving a 2015 model and have been very happy with it. My son is not fond of its continuously variable transmission because it sounds “different,” but it has performed quite well and I like it’s smooth hum.
I had a 2003 Corolla S and the battery blew up. The car still ran even with a blown battery. One of the most bullet proof cars out there in my opinion.
I’ve had about 5 corollas in my life and just bought my 6th one used it’s a 2007 at 160k miles. The fan is louder than other models I’ve owned but runs like a dream. Gotta love cars owned by seniors who just don’t drive anymore yet still changed their oil every 6 months lol
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!
@@jmfn6092 well, I did the engine swap. Got an engine from Japan with only 60k miles on it. The shop who did the swap did a good job replacing the engine, but a bad job making sure they didn't destroy any wiring when they did it. 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. Currently trying to find a shop that specializes in electrical where I live because all the swap shop did is replace the speed sensor and that didn't do anything to fix the issue.
@@Kevinleehiltonjr yes! It was the strangest thing that unfortunately took about 3 different mechanics to figure out. But for some reason, my automatic transmission would only fit a speed sensor for a manual transmission. The mechanic that figured it out tried one for an automatic and realized it didn't sit right, so he tried one for a manual and its been working ever since. No clue why it worked, but it did.
Currently well pleased with the used 2018 Corolla XSE I purchase a year ago. 26K miles when I bought it. Now at 48K and going strong. Just a great car! Appreciate all your info and hard work Scotty!
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 have a 2006 Toyota Corolla. The ninth generation Corolla is absolutely insane reliability. I have 319,000 miles on mine and I've had no major repairs. Just change my original alternator. No work done on AC, no work done on transmission just a freaking tank. I am about To change my at least left CV joint that is original. Why can't every car be like this
Hey purchased used 93 Corolla no issues Later sold to my sister who had it for 23 years. Infrequent oil and trans fluid changes. Lot of rust . It finally blew up and went to salvage with little over 300,000 miles. It was a very forgiving vehicle.
Being a civic fan.. i had a 5th gen civic , several 6 gens , 8 th and 9 th gen civics. From coupe , hatch , sedan and estate version in uk.. all of them never missed a beat..
We had a 2005 Corolla CE with over 267,000 on the odometer. Still running strong. No issues what so ever. Had to get rid of because subframe was rotting out due to us living in the rust belt. Would love another Corolla.
Good overview of the history of Civics and Corollas. Surprised you didn't mention the infamous peeling clearcoat issue that the 8th gen Civics had. It got so bad Honda got hit with a class-action lawsuit.
I was actually looking at getting the Acura ILX with the 6-speed manual transmission. I had driven the TLX on a test drive and they were unbelievably comfortable seats.
My first car was a 1991 CRX Si and ever since then I fell in love with Honda. In highschool, I fell in love with the EP3 Civic and now own one (2005 Blue). They are a fun zippy commuter car with a cool rally style shifter. Recaro seats are pretty neat as well.
I bought a 2000 Honda Civic LX brand new in May of 2000 and I'm still driving it. No Major issues and extremely reliable. I had to replace the radiator 3 times. All 3 times it leaked from plastic top of radiator
@Sean Giampietro My 0 to 65k miles on 2016 Civic had 4 A/C compressors go out and 2 front computer screens replaced from pulling dash sooo many times 2 fix compressor! LEMON NO OTHER WAY 2 EXPLAIN MY SITUATION! My 2014 Toyota Avalon I bought with 100k miles 2 years ago now has 150kwith ZERO PROBLEMS!
Just bought an 03 corolla le with only 78k miles on it about a month ago, getting close to 80k now from me and I'm LOVING the car so far! Can't believe how nice the interior is and how well the paint held up for it being 20 years old almost , Toyota has my sold now ! Bought the Corolla as a daily driver because of ur videos
My mother bought the '03 Corolla new with the modern 9th gen look, now only 80k miles. She got a good deal on a paint job and looks new again. Interior still looks new, never has had a problem, very solid car. Great gas mileage, great for somebody looking for an affordable dependable car.
I'm nervous of buying a used car that is that old and so few miles on it but sounds like you had no issues. I'm currently looking at a 16' Civic Coupe but was hesitant cuz it has less than 20k miles. I defiantly don't want to buy something with alot of miles but I also don't want a car thats been sitting for years. I wish I could afford a new one to avoid any issues.
I've got 2020 Corolla SE sedan... Loving it soo far... The physical 1st gear really helps with acceleration with combi of 169 HP engine... It gets really good gas milage as well... The best ever I got on my trip meter was 4.2l/100 km on a 200 km trip Overall it's a good combo of power and mileage...
My dad swore by his 1985 Civic GL. Sedan. He bought it brand new when it was released and owned it for over 10 years until July 1995 when he hit a deer. He thought it was an amazing car to drive and was solid and reliable. It was the one car he wished he could have rebuilt and continued to drive.
I ride a 2012 Civic LX riding 112,000 and only have a small rattle when the engine cold starts, not a car guy but that’s my only complaint. I think it’s a great car
My first car as a teenager was a Toyota Tercel, and the Corolla kind of reminds of that. It’s a sturdy, reliable car, but it seems like a young person’s first car. 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.
I just bought a new 2022 Civic Sport last Wednesday. Really love the car and the mpg. I had no idea it was a CVT transmission, I thought it was a smooth shift, realized Honda's CVT is just that good. This civic generation will probably be one of the best. The interior is also beautiful looking. Love my Civic.
I'm so glad that the same thing that makes Scotty rich and famous makes the world a better place. ❤️ Yesterday in a parking lot there were 4 cars parked next to each other with the same "window slant." All Honda's. America has voted!!
Dad owns a 2006 Toyota Corolla back when it first came out. It’s a manual and he never had to change the clutch and much haha. Barely burns oil and runs great today at 300k+ miles!
idk about you guys but, i have had two 8th gen civics in the past year and love them. i had a sedan ex with 313k miles and it kept going strong. i eventually bought a sedan si with 243k and i love it
As always with Scotty, this is an excellent video with useful information. I especially like how Scotty is factual and impartial when comparing these two outstanding vehicles. Personally, I think Scotty's car videos are the best overall- complete with a little humor.
2013 civic si with 115k miles. Only thing that has been wrong with it was the MAF sensor went out. Other than that, great car. Getting 25 city, and 32-36 highway.
@@robs905 I guess. It's also a 2.4L which runs only on premium. I'm lucky I'm getting those numbers, especially since the MPG Honda rated the car for was 20-22.
I bought a 2009 Corolla brand new, a model that Scotty reports being one of the worst models. To tell you the truth, I have now over 450k miles on it. I change the oil myself, and take good care of it. Now imagine if I had bought a good model LOL 😂
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.
I got a used 09 Corolla for under $5,000 with 99k miles and the only thing I have replaced was the alternator. Have had it for four years now with zero problems afterwards. Great car……maybe mine was built on a Thursday 🤣
@@DoyouevenTruckerBro They say the VVTi cam gear actuator can make noise on cold start for a few seconds and the repair to fix it can be expensive, also the timing chain tensioner is prone to go out on these, also prone to oil leaks on the timing cover gasket. 2009 model is the worst of Gen 10, I was looking at one to buy here in Australia but all these things have put me off getting an 09, alternator and water pump are weak in them too. they are priced high on the used market here at $12,000 Australian for a low Mileage one with 92,000 kilometers
I had a 2001 Civic bought used to drive 140 mile round trip to work daily. It was a rare base model. No A/C and a stick shift. It didn't give any trouble and got 44 MPG if keeping the speed under 70. Rode like a wagon though. Beat me to death and wasn't very stable on the road over 80. It did get awesome gas mileage though and didn't break down.
My first was 1987 Corolla FX. Then I have a 1990 corolla which I still own (256000 miles) and own also a 2017 corolla SE. Love my Toyotas. #1 all the way!!! 😄
I owned a 2005 Corolla Sport Manual. It was insane how reliable it was, especially compared to the American cars I grew up with. The Takata airbag recall was a major pain though. They notified me that because of the danger, no one should ride in the passenger seat until the replacement became available (15 Months later). In the meantime, I had to drive three kids to school and stuff them all in the back seat. At 6 am 🤨
Omg. Same. I took had to take mine to dealership for the airbag issue. Yep, my two teens sat in the back. Really reminded me how small the interior is lol . I'm still driving mine , 223k miles
Former Volvo technician here. I've owned 3 Civics in my life & my fiancé has owned 2 Corollas. The difference in maintenance cost, dealership experience, long term durability of parts, and especially interior/driving ergonomics all dramatically favor the Honda Civic regardless of generation. Oh, and ride quality is dramatically better in the Civic's as well. I mean Toyota was still using torsion beam rear on Corollas in 2018! A dealership shouldn't be charging $1000 to "clean the valve & head" on an MPFI (not DI) system during a 60k service either, but Toyota does that too. Based on my own experience as an owner, and as a professional auto technician I'd recommend Honda Civic any time given equivalent engine setups, years of production, & option levels. This is not a commentary about the current Type R vs GR as those are highly niche cars. I am talking the primary sales trim levels.
Thank you for this insight! I’m looking to buy either a new civic or new Corolla for my wife. My ultimate goal is to make it last as close to 20 years as possible. You recommend the civic will hit that goal more likely rather than the Corolla?
I would go for the Honda civic. I drive the 2006 Honda civic 1.8 FD automatic 5 speed. Almost 300,000 KM on it. And it hasn't been any problems with it.
I think the 10th gen Honda Civic is a beautiful looking car. I had a 2018 Si, then moved on to another one in 2020 to avoid the condenser issue and picked up a volume knob. I don’t like the front end on the 11th gen civic, so I think I’m keeping the 2020 for awhile.
I agree 100%. I have a 2019 EX Coupe I was leasing. I ended up buying it before the end of the lease when I found out they were not going to make the coupe anymore. I've owned 5 BMW's and a Lexus. All new. No doubt the Honda is the best value. Great driving and smooth motor.
Just got the base model 2024 Toyota Corolla LE. Brand spanking new with 4 miles on the ODO. Starts up with a key and drives like a dream. 30+ miles per gallon is insane! I plan on keeping this vehicle for 10+ years if it will let me. I plan on 5k oil changes (despite the dealer recommending 10k). I’ve never been more proud of a purchase. I know Scotty would be proud too 😂
Incredible video, going to be getting my first car and am looking Pre owned so this helped narrow down the years I want to focus on. Thank you so much!
Excellent video, short but with lot of great content. I ask myself, how Scotty can still make quality video on vacation time? Well, he love his job, that’s why he’s the best.
My wife really likes her new 2020 Civic sport sedan 2.0l 6speed manual 😎 She still has her 2005 civic special edition ex but wants to drive it only in the winter so her new car doesn't start to rust anywhere because Central Wis loves the Salt- Calcium chloride for melting Ice 🤔
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.
Proud 4th owner of a '06 Civic, with some issues that i've dealt with, only thing left is AC needing fixing, but still love it! It's my first car, but I wouldn't say no to owning a Toyota at some point :) overall I really like these 2 brands, they are very reliable. Also side note for Scotty-- the mice chewing on the cables was adorable hehe.
I have driven a 2005 corolla and a 2009 civic. If you want a softer lines and ergonomic features(good seating posture at 5 ft 4) Corolla all the way. It tends to ride quieter and smoother turns . The Civic feels sportier when you hear the engine rev and the suspension is dialed a little tighter to take those corners aggressively or switch lanes quickly, harder lines but a lot of organizing storage upfront. Had to buy cushions and neck rests for my long commute. Great for backseat passengers with the 3rd seat not having that middle bump.
I have owned both (91 TC and 02 Civic). Both were great with few repairs. You really cannot go wrong with either. I just traded my 2014 Accord for a Corolla Hybrid, which I will pick up next week.
I drove a 2004 Corolla LE for 16 years. Only a few minor issues, but a solid vehicle nonetheless. It has around 163k miles and still going strong as far as I know. I sold it to my girlfriend's son just a couple weeks ago and upgraded to a 2022 LE. Surprisingly, the new one seems to have less pickup than my old one, which is my only real complaint so far.
Hi Scotty.I watch your videos all the time.I recently purchased a 2016 Toyota Corolla S and so far I like the way it drives!My only issue was I had wet floors caused by a loose clip on the A/C Drain hose.But it was a quick fix.Other than that no issues,and the car runs fine!
Have the 2014 civic with 230,000 miles. No major problems. Had the cabin blower and resistor melt. Battery. Headlights were the biggest pain changing each bulb almost 6 months like clockwork. Switched to LED and now no problems. Just changed the brakes. Been great car. Gonna give to one of my kids when car prices and rates go back down.
My wife has a 2013 Corolla and is rock solid as far as mechanical. My only real gripe with it is the road noise even with a good set of tires designed to ride quieter. These type of cars are not designed to be performance cars so I don't see why they won't go ahead and put plenty of sound deadening in them. It's the only reason we won't take it on a road trip is because of the road noise. We take my F150 instead.
The best looking Corolla's I think were the Gen 4, 5 GTS and 6. The 3rd Gen civic wasn't too shabby either. Still, for all their dependability, driveability, bringing reliable motoring to the masses, which are good things, more recent models are such dull things to look at.
Honorable mention for the 2001-2006 civic, not the auto but the 5 speed models. Thing is a tank. Had it for 16 years and the most damage at the shop I've done have been a new alternator around 100k and a new radiator at 200k. 226k now and going strong.
My daughter’s first car that she bought on her own was a 2020 Honda Civic. Even though it is still under warranty, she has not had 1 problem to date with it. They are reliable and I feel safe with her driving it.
I'm still driving my 2002 Honda Civic EX Coup (Manual). I only have about 170k miles on it. For the most part it has been reliable. The biggest problems I've had with it is I've had to replace the entire exhaust (different parts over the years) and the ac. There were numerous air bag recalls on it, though. I never personally had an issue with the air bags. Then again, I never had collision where they went off. I just took it in when there was a recall. It's paid for and I'll probably drive it until it dies. I do, however, get new car envy when I see the 2022 civic si and the new acura integra.
Gen7 civic - my first and current car. Amazing gearbox, comfort, space, and mpg (for the time period). Amazingly realiable I still see a lot of them o the streets and mechanics all say they love it. Will be very hard to eventually swap it for a new car I really love that thing. It's gentle when it you want it to be gentle, nd agressive when you want it to be agressive. Great car
I'm currently looking for a preowned car, and these two are my choices (and the CRV and RAV4)... you have made my decision making much easier..... to be honest i was considering a Jetta, but after watching your video about ir, you made me RETHINK my choices! all your videos were REALLY A BIG HELP! BIG THANK YOU!
I’ve owned both & favor the Toyota hands down. My Toyota’s have never spent a day in the shop. My Hondas’s have very expensive repairs (transmissions, a/c, power steering pumps etc.) & the paint didn’t hold up. I will be a Toyota customer for the rest of my life.
My girlfriend is looking at a 2005 Toyota corolla and then I found this video and glad to see it is a very good year for the car so that makes me happy seeing she will be getting a great little car
I had a 2008 Honda civic ex. Loved it. I never got stuck in the snow or had trouble in storms while other cars were stuck and stranded. No costly issues. I had her until 251000, I'm willing to bet she'd have gone to 300,000+ if it wasn't for a truck merging into it. Rip
The same thing happened to me with an '09 Civic, 211,000 miles and a semi merged into my rear quarter panel. Was running like a top, 37 mpg and consumed no oil.
I'm considering trading my 2016 Honda Civic due to uncomfortable, low sitting seats and steering wheel sticking issue. After a little research, I see the sticking steering wheel is a common complaint in the 2016 models.
I currently own a 2004 Honda Civic ex it only has 120 k miles on it and it runs great. Just replaced the whole brake system and other things tips and tricks from Scotty’s videos. Thanks Scotty
Lukas stabilizer oil helps a lot with engines that have high mileage and they also have transmission treatment that gets rid of slipping and jerking lol saved me so much money literally
@@johndobb8239 I drive a 2004 civic coupe. I absolutely love this car. I'm at 340000KM and have had to do very little maintenance in last 4 years since I bought it. I think like 600CAD worth for new control arms

@@spaceexplorer6636 he actually IS helping us more than you know.... which is WHY his pockets are lined, and they SHOULD be. This is what happens when you provide a good service or product. You can do it too! It’s not “just for Scotty.”
I owned a 2005 Honda Civic LX for 12 years and it was a rock. Awesome on fuel, started in -30 C weather, and very easy for working on/learning to work on. The catalytic converter punctured around 330K and that's when it started to get pricey for repairs. If well maintained, those engines will keep going. I'd buy another in a heartbeat. It's too bad they were never offered in a hatchback form for the 2001-2005 years.
@@MultiLittlegamer yeah, they definitely made them, I've seen them all over the used market in the US (near Chicago). Not sure where the other guy is from
I own a 2005 Civic Si Blue. The Si was only hatch for those years and wasn't very popular. They were made in the UK. Love it to death..It's snappy, lots of room, and pretty solid gas milage.
I'm so glad I have a 2006 Toyoda Corolla LE. It has worked perfectly besides an intake gasket that needed replacing and it's a great car to modernize. I already installed a new android radio and am working on installing a dash and rear cam.
I bought my first Toyota. After going through 2 Nissans, which everything broke down in BOTH of them at 180,00 miles (I mean transmission, engine, brakes, gears, wouldn't shift in reverse, everything) I vowed never to buy a Nissan again (to be fair I didn't maintain them). I went with Toyota. I feel peace now.
Here in Central Ohio were all about Honda. I and my family have owned a lot of cars over the years but well more than half of them were Hondas. They really can't be beat.
I have always wanted a Honda but for one reason or another I spent a decade and a half with an average French Renault Clio. Recently bought a DC5 Type-R and it's immense. I can't wait to buy my next Honda. It will either be an S2000 or the FK8 Civic Type-R.
Owning a manuel Civic 2012 DX for 7 years, no options (DX is base model). 110000 km, no major repair beside the starter, battery, breaks. very much love it! What i love the most is the dashboard style. Some of my friends in their late 40's like me told me "hey! It's Kit!" Yeah! :)
I had a 06 Corolla that I loved.. till someone totaled me at 60 mph while I was sitting to make a turn. That car was amazing. I now have a 2011. Its better than an ok car..but loved my 06. Im still a Toyota fan. My next one will be either another Corolla or possibly a Tacoma, if I go with a truck. My friends and I are split on Hondas and Toyotas.
Beverly Sassone If you are open to a little advice, the Tacoma's are fine trucks but get a long bed I've had both and no four It's a long bed and a '07 with a short bed and rod quality in the long bed made a difference, of course on a good road they all ride good and on a bad road they all ride bad but the long beds make a difference I wish I had kept my '04 a long bed.
Bought a 2006 Civic new. Drove it from Riverside to LA horrendous traffic jams every day for 8 years in 90 and 100 degree summer days to work. Then Riverside to Orange County another 4 years. Never a issue. If you live in LA you know what that proves. I still have this car and drive it on a regular basis. Only tires brakes and 100K valve adjustment and trans and engine oil changes as recommended. Best damn car I’ve ever owned and I’ve owned a lot of cars. Not the fastest or most flashy but for transportation and reliability this thing is way over the top. It’s NEVER let me down. A/C still blows ice cold air. 30 mpg all the time. Everything still works. Runs like it’s new. No rattles no shakes. Will NEVER sell this ride. It’s my baby.
Scotty, I don't know who is doing your videos but while you were talking about 92-95 Civic, they were showing 96-99 cars. But I have a 2010 Honda Civic SI and I love it

I'll take either one. I have been a loyal Honda customer for 10 plus years, and I'll have no issues owning a Toyota. I still want Honda and Toyota to make one model car together. Honda can do the engine, Toyota can do the transmission, and they both can do the body style and accessories etc...
I agree!! Acura NSX engine + Honda Tranny or Beefed up Lexus LFA engine + Toyota Asin tranny. You can't go wrong either way
Get Tesla to do the accessories and Ford to do the body style. And you are set
Imagine if Toyota had a partnership with Honda instead of Subaru in the late 2000s so the FRS/86 They could have used Honda & yamaha Cylinder head technology and possibly made an even better K series. I can only imagine :(
This will be a fantastic combo!
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.
I’m a loyal Toyota lady, having owned many. I currently have a Corolla and I love it. Both my sons also drive Toyotas. If I didn’t have a thing for Toyotas, Honda would be my next choice. They are both good reliable vehicles.
I went with the civic but I'd be happy to look at Toyotas when I'm in the market for another car. They really are great cars.
what gen of corolla would you recommend?
yeah my house is full of toyotas
@@peacebewu I’m currently driving a 2015 model and have been very happy with it. My son is not fond of its continuously variable transmission because it sounds “different,” but it has performed quite well and I like it’s smooth hum.
Toyota anyday.
Honda is second choice
I had a 2003 Corolla S and the battery blew up. The car still ran even with a blown battery. One of the most bullet proof cars out there in my opinion.
I’ve had about 5 corollas in my life and just bought my 6th one used it’s a 2007 at 160k miles. The fan is louder than other models I’ve owned but runs like a dream. Gotta love cars owned by seniors who just don’t drive anymore yet still changed their oil every 6 months lol
Truth. Those are the best cars to find!
CarFax should start giving the age of the person who owned the car lol
Yup. Just bought a 2003 Toyota Corolla from an old lady. That thing is in mint condition it’s impressive
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!
How's the corolla now dude ? Any update?
@@jmfn6092 well, I did the engine swap. Got an engine from Japan with only 60k miles on it. The shop who did the swap did a good job replacing the engine, but a bad job making sure they didn't destroy any wiring when they did it. 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. Currently trying to find a shop that specializes in electrical where I live because all the swap shop did is replace the speed sensor and that didn't do anything to fix the issue.
@@vulturecat3378 dang that sucks. Hope you find someone. Keep us in the loop
I'm interested to know if you ever got your wiring fixed
@@Kevinleehiltonjr yes! It was the strangest thing that unfortunately took about 3 different mechanics to figure out. But for some reason, my automatic transmission would only fit a speed sensor for a manual transmission. The mechanic that figured it out tried one for an automatic and realized it didn't sit right, so he tried one for a manual and its been working ever since. No clue why it worked, but it did.
Currently well pleased with the used 2018 Corolla XSE I purchase a year ago. 26K miles when I bought it. Now at 48K and going strong. Just a great car! Appreciate all your info and hard work Scotty!

"Now at 48k and going strong" - is this supposed to be a joke?
@@frankrizzo7975fr lmao
hahahahhaha
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!
We bought one in 2000. Great car. Some guy ran a light and T-boned it!
@@dave-d-grunt howd u survive a tbone in a 2000 model. You would’ve been dead
I have a 2006 Toyota Corolla. The ninth generation Corolla is absolutely insane reliability. I have 319,000 miles on mine and I've had no major repairs. Just change my original alternator. No work done on AC, no work done on transmission just a freaking tank. I am about To change my at least left CV joint that is original. Why can't every car be like this
Hey purchased used 93 Corolla no issues
Later sold to my sister who had it for 23 years.
Infrequent oil and trans fluid changes. Lot of rust . It finally blew up and went to salvage with little over 300,000 miles. It was a very forgiving vehicle.
When are they going to make the Honda Scotty and Toyota Kilmer? 😂

Being a civic fan.. i had a 5th gen civic , several 6 gens , 8 th and 9 th gen civics. From coupe , hatch , sedan and estate version in uk.. all of them never missed a beat..
We had a 2005 Corolla CE with over 267,000 on the odometer. Still running strong. No issues what so ever. Had to get rid of because subframe was rotting out due to us living in the rust belt. Would love another Corolla.
Corrodea
Good overview of the history of Civics and Corollas. Surprised you didn't mention the infamous peeling clearcoat issue that the 8th gen Civics had. It got so bad Honda got hit with a class-action lawsuit.
The kinda history I’d like to learn in school🤧
They need to teach this in school. Stuff that’s actually interesting
Sadly only the car enthusiasts care for this
@@razvandobos9759 one can dream right
Consider you still in school ;)
20 more years the Honda Civics and Toyota Corollas will be over $45,000. The end of the car industry and car culture as a whole.
Hope you're having a good one, Scotty! You inspired me to buy a Honda Civic SI after owning three Subarus.
Ayeee not gonna be disappointed brodie
I was actually looking at getting the Acura ILX with the 6-speed manual transmission. I had driven the TLX on a test drive and they were unbelievably comfortable seats.
We'll still know you're a lez+be+in
@Noel S I have a Corolla I love it. I had a 2005 Camry. I loved that car too. I wanted something a little smaller and sportier
@Noel S as long as there honda or toyota don't matter
Camry and accord next make it happen scotty we love this content so keep it comeing
My first car was a 1991 CRX Si and ever since then I fell in love with Honda. In highschool, I fell in love with the EP3 Civic and now own one (2005 Blue). They are a fun zippy commuter car with a cool rally style shifter. Recaro seats are pretty neat as well.
I bought a 2000 Honda Civic LX brand new in May of 2000 and I'm still driving it. No Major issues and extremely reliable. I had to replace the radiator 3 times. All 3 times it leaked from plastic top of radiator
I’ve owned several civics dating back to 1981. They have all performed well and I put over 100,000 miles on each one.
100k isn't that much.
2016 Honda Civic is a lemon I owned one! A/C compressor broke 4 times in 3 years!
I honestly like the 88-91 gen Honda Civic had a 91 back in high school got well over 350k miles out of it before selling it to my friend for $900 😎
@Sean Giampietro My 0 to 65k miles on 2016 Civic had 4 A/C compressors go out and 2 front computer screens replaced from pulling dash sooo many times 2 fix compressor! LEMON NO OTHER WAY 2 EXPLAIN MY SITUATION! My 2014 Toyota Avalon I bought with 100k miles 2 years ago now has 150kwith ZERO PROBLEMS!
That's it? My 2007 Corolla has almost 400k and has never had any major repairs.
Just bought an 03 corolla le with only 78k miles on it about a month ago, getting close to 80k now from me and I'm LOVING the car so far! Can't believe how nice the interior is and how well the paint held up for it being 20 years old almost , Toyota has my sold now ! Bought the Corolla as a daily driver because of ur videos
My mother bought the '03 Corolla new with the modern 9th gen look, now only 80k miles. She got a good deal on a paint job and looks new again. Interior still looks new, never has had a problem, very solid car. Great gas mileage, great for somebody looking for an affordable dependable car.
I'm nervous of buying a used car that is that old and so few miles on it but sounds like you had no issues. I'm currently looking at a 16' Civic Coupe but was hesitant cuz it has less than 20k miles. I defiantly don't want to buy something with alot of miles but I also don't want a car thats been sitting for years. I wish I could afford a new one to avoid any issues.
I've got 2020 Corolla SE sedan... Loving it soo far... The physical 1st gear really helps with acceleration with combi of 169 HP engine... It gets really good gas milage as well... The best ever I got on my trip meter was 4.2l/100 km on a 200 km trip
Overall it's a good combo of power and mileage...
Just recently bought a 2014 civic with 60k miles on it. It has been the best used car I have ever purchased.
They are amazing. Still driving mine at just over 120k.
I love my 2014 civic lx. I just got it as my first car back in feburary. I cant thank my family enough for helping me cover it.
Bought a Honda Civic 8th Gen after seeing one of your videos 3 years ago. Best car I've ever owned.
My dad swore by his 1985 Civic GL. Sedan. He bought it brand new when it was released and owned it for over 10 years until July 1995 when he hit a deer. He thought it was an amazing car to drive and was solid and reliable. It was the one car he wished he could have rebuilt and continued to drive.
This was awesome, really enjoyed it!! The 2013 Civic had no recalls. So in my books makes it one of the best models.
Probably had Takata airbag recall at the very least,
I think recalls should actually be a good indicator of how manufacturers r responsible and admitting they have issue to fix
I believe recalls are safety issues determined by the government
My 2001 Citroen C5 never had a recall too.
I ride a 2012 Civic LX riding 112,000 and only have a small rattle when the engine cold starts, not a car guy but that’s my only complaint. I think it’s a great car
My first car as a teenager was a Toyota Tercel, and the Corolla kind of reminds of that. It’s a sturdy, reliable car, but it seems like a young person’s first car. 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.
I just bought a new 2022 Civic Sport last Wednesday. Really love the car and the mpg. I had no idea it was a CVT transmission, I thought it was a smooth shift, realized Honda's CVT is just that good. This civic generation will probably be one of the best. The interior is also beautiful looking. Love my Civic.
Just grabbed a 22 civic sport as well. Yours held up nice over the last year?
I love the new design of the 22 hatchback. I really wish i could get one
I'm so glad that the same thing that makes Scotty rich and famous makes the world a better place. ❤️ Yesterday in a parking lot there were 4 cars parked next to each other with the same "window slant." All Honda's. America has voted!!
Is that a bad thing? What is wrong with the window slant?
Have had my 09 Corolla for over 3 years now. Still runs great with basic repairs done to it. Owe it to changing the oil and having a great mechanic!
How many miles does yours have now?
My dad still has his from about 20 years ago still uses it and has had no problems
I'm kind of disappointed I didn't get yelled at by Scotty this entire video

Dad owns a 2006 Toyota Corolla back when it first came out. It’s a manual and he never had to change the clutch and much haha. Barely burns oil and runs great today at 300k+ miles!
I had two Toyota Corolla GT Twin Cam 16v. I had a 1985 and a 1987. What great cars they were.

idk about you guys but, i have had two 8th gen civics in the past year and love them. i had a sedan ex with 313k miles and it kept going strong. i eventually bought a sedan si with 243k and i love it
As always with Scotty, this is an excellent video with useful information. I especially like how Scotty is factual and impartial when comparing these two outstanding vehicles. Personally, I think Scotty's car videos are the best overall- complete with a little humor.
Great Vid, sir!
Both are very reliable cars
if you want a speedy reliable car, go for the civic. If you want a calm reliable one, go for a corolla.
2013 civic si with 115k miles. Only thing that has been wrong with it was the MAF sensor went out. Other than that, great car. Getting 25 city, and 32-36 highway.
I dare say that your right foot is made of lead....
@@robs905 I guess. It's also a 2.4L which runs only on premium. I'm lucky I'm getting those numbers, especially since the MPG Honda rated the car for was 20-22.
Just joshing. I drive like a very old man that stays in his lane and uses turn signals when called for.
How would you guys rate the 2002 Civic
Just bought my daughter a 2021 Toyota Corolla Nightshade edition in black... What an awesome little car!
Your daughter needs to get a job and buy her own car...sorry not sorry
#1 great history lesson.
That's a fact
My husband and I just got a Toyota Corolla Hybrid. Love it
I got one last Saturday myself. Seems like it is going to be a great car. My first Hybrid but have driven a number of them.
I have a 2012 Corolla LE and I just turned 299,000 miles on it and it's still going strong.
I bought a 2009 Corolla brand new, a model that Scotty reports being one of the worst models. To tell you the truth, I have now over 450k miles on it. I change the oil myself, and take good care of it. Now imagine if I had bought a good model LOL 😂
Hey you got the 1 in a million Built on a Wednesday lol
ive got 280k on my 2010 lol
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.
I got a used 09 Corolla for under $5,000 with 99k miles and the only thing I have replaced was the alternator. Have had it for four years now with zero problems afterwards. Great car……maybe mine was built on a Thursday 🤣
@@DoyouevenTruckerBro They say the VVTi cam gear actuator can make noise on cold start for a few seconds and the repair to fix it can be expensive, also the timing chain tensioner is prone to go out on these, also prone to oil leaks on the timing cover gasket. 2009 model is the worst of Gen 10, I was looking at one to buy here in Australia but all these things have put me off getting an 09, alternator and water pump are weak in them too. they are priced high on the used market here at $12,000 Australian for a low Mileage one with 92,000 kilometers
I had a 2001 Civic bought used to drive 140 mile round trip to work daily. It was a rare base model. No A/C and a stick shift. It didn't give any trouble and got 44 MPG if keeping the speed under 70. Rode like a wagon though. Beat me to death and wasn't very stable on the road over 80. It did get awesome gas mileage though and didn't break down.
Just bought a 2020si stick shift 3wks ago and I love it!
How much was your total out the door price?
My first was 1987 Corolla FX. Then I have a 1990 corolla which I still own (256000 miles) and own also a 2017 corolla SE. Love my Toyotas. #1 all the way!!! 😄
This is amazing content.
I bought an 06 corolla last week, glad to see I didnt screw up!
Got an 04 one here.
I owned a 2005 Corolla Sport Manual. It was insane how reliable it was, especially compared to the American cars I grew up with. The Takata airbag recall was a major pain though. They notified me that because of the danger, no one should ride in the passenger seat until the replacement became available (15 Months later). In the meantime, I had to drive three kids to school and stuff them all in the back seat. At 6 am 🤨
How for away was the school?
First world problems 😂
Just picked one up today one owner with 124000 miles on it. Looking forward to many miles on it
@@chance6057they're great cars, you won't be disappointed.
Omg. Same. I took had to take mine to dealership for the airbag issue. Yep, my two teens sat in the back. Really reminded me how small the interior is lol . I'm still driving mine , 223k miles
Former Volvo technician here. I've owned 3 Civics in my life & my fiancé has owned 2 Corollas. The difference in maintenance cost, dealership experience, long term durability of parts, and especially interior/driving ergonomics all dramatically favor the Honda Civic regardless of generation. Oh, and ride quality is dramatically better in the Civic's as well. I mean Toyota was still using torsion beam rear on Corollas in 2018! A dealership shouldn't be charging $1000 to "clean the valve & head" on an MPFI (not DI) system during a 60k service either, but Toyota does that too. Based on my own experience as an owner, and as a professional auto technician I'd recommend Honda Civic any time given equivalent engine setups, years of production, & option levels.
This is not a commentary about the current Type R vs GR as those are highly niche cars. I am talking the primary sales trim levels.
Thank you for this insight! I’m looking to buy either a new civic or new Corolla for my wife. My ultimate goal is to make it last as close to 20 years as possible. You recommend the civic will hit that goal more likely rather than the Corolla?
@@scottmcleod1470 So, whatd ya get?
I would go for the Honda civic. I drive the 2006 Honda civic 1.8 FD automatic 5 speed. Almost 300,000 KM on it. And it hasn't been any problems with it.
I think the 10th gen Honda Civic is a beautiful
looking car. I had a 2018 Si, then moved on to another one in 2020 to avoid the condenser issue and picked up a volume knob. I don’t like the front end on the 11th gen civic, so I think I’m keeping the 2020 for awhile.
I agree 100%. I have a 2019 EX Coupe I was leasing. I ended up buying it before the end of the lease when I found out they were not going to make the coupe anymore. I've owned 5 BMW's and a Lexus. All new. No doubt the Honda is the best value. Great driving and smooth motor.
Just got the base model 2024 Toyota Corolla LE. Brand spanking new with 4 miles on the ODO. Starts up with a key and drives like a dream. 30+ miles per gallon is insane! I plan on keeping this vehicle for 10+ years if it will let me. I plan on 5k oil changes (despite the dealer recommending 10k).
I’ve never been more proud of a purchase. I know Scotty would be proud too 😂
Incredible video, going to be getting my first car and am looking Pre owned so this helped narrow down the years I want to focus on. Thank you so much!
For some reason I see more new new gen Civics than Corollas.
@Dominic I am genuinely thinking about buying a new Honda Civic Hatchback for the looks alone
@Dominic how does a roommate change warrant a new car
The Civic is nicer than the Corolla, including the interiors. I’m currently looking at both cars and I’m leaning towards the Civic.
@Dominic ….I’m not interested in anything that’s turbo though. I’m looking at strictly non turbo motors. Wish you the best on your search.
@Dominic I test drove one a few weeks ago. They really are nice.
Excellent video, short but with lot of great content. I ask myself, how Scotty can still make quality video on vacation time? Well, he love his job, that’s why he’s the best.
My wife really likes her new 2020 Civic sport sedan 2.0l 6speed manual 😎 She still has her 2005 civic special edition ex but wants to drive it only in the winter so her new car doesn't start to rust anywhere because Central Wis loves the Salt- Calcium chloride for melting Ice 🤔
The 2.0 naturally aspirated motor and 6 speed manual transmission is definitely the most reliable way to buy a Civic. You two bought the right one 👍🏻
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.
Proud 4th owner of a '06 Civic, with some issues that i've dealt with, only thing left is AC needing fixing, but still love it! It's my first car, but I wouldn't say no to owning a Toyota at some point :) overall I really like these 2 brands, they are very reliable.
Also side note for Scotty-- the mice chewing on the cables was adorable hehe.
my first car was also a 06 civic that the AC died on. i was the 2nd owner and i sold it to the third. 5 speed lots of fun
I have driven a 2005 corolla and a 2009 civic. If you want a softer lines and ergonomic features(good seating posture at 5 ft 4) Corolla all the way. It tends to ride quieter and smoother turns . The Civic feels sportier when you hear the engine rev and the suspension is dialed a little tighter to take those corners aggressively or switch lanes quickly, harder lines but a lot of organizing storage upfront. Had to buy cushions and neck rests for my long commute. Great for backseat passengers with the 3rd seat not having that middle bump.
I have owned both (91 TC and 02 Civic). Both were great with few repairs. You really cannot go wrong with either. I just traded my 2014 Accord for a Corolla Hybrid, which I will pick up next week.
Love this video at least he’s showing that these guys aren’t always perfect
I drove a 2004 Corolla LE for 16 years. Only a few minor issues, but a solid vehicle nonetheless. It has around 163k miles and still going strong as far as I know. I sold it to my girlfriend's son just a couple weeks ago and upgraded to a 2022 LE. Surprisingly, the new one seems to have less pickup than my old one, which is my only real complaint so far.
I think it's because of the CVT that most Corollas have these days.
Hi Scotty.I watch your videos all the time.I recently purchased a 2016 Toyota Corolla S and so far I like the way it drives!My only issue was I had wet floors caused by a loose clip on the A/C Drain hose.But it was a quick fix.Other than that no issues,and the car runs fine!
Have the 2014 civic with 230,000 miles. No major problems. Had the cabin blower and resistor melt. Battery. Headlights were the biggest pain changing each bulb almost 6 months like clockwork. Switched to LED and now no problems. Just changed the brakes. Been great car. Gonna give to one of my kids when car prices and rates go back down.
My wife has a 2013 Corolla and is rock solid as far as mechanical. My only real gripe with it is the road noise even with a good set of tires designed to ride quieter. These type of cars are not designed to be performance cars so I don't see why they won't go ahead and put plenty of sound deadening in them. It's the only reason we won't take it on a road trip is because of the road noise. We take my F150 instead.
The best looking Corolla's I think were the Gen 4, 5 GTS and 6. The 3rd Gen civic wasn't too shabby either.
Still, for all their dependability, driveability, bringing reliable motoring to the masses, which are good things, more recent models are such dull things to look at.
Honorable mention for the 2001-2006 civic, not the auto but the 5 speed models. Thing is a tank. Had it for 16 years and the most damage at the shop I've done have been a new alternator around 100k and a new radiator at 200k. 226k now and going strong.
Honorable mention: the bus that takes me to and from work on a daily basis. It has never broke down while in route.

I love my 2019 Corolla Hatch XSE. Your options are limited these days if you want a manual transmission and this was a good purchase.
I'm still driving my 2002 Honda Civic EX Coup (Manual). I only have about 170k miles on it. For the most part it has been reliable. The biggest problems I've had with it is I've had to replace the entire exhaust (different parts over the years) and the ac. There were numerous air bag recalls on it, though. I never personally had an issue with the air bags. Then again, I never had collision where they went off. I just took it in when there was a recall. It's paid for and I'll probably drive it until it dies. I do, however, get new car envy when I see the 2022 civic si and the new acura integra.
There's a new acura integra!? The 90s version was awesome
Gen7 civic - my first and current car. Amazing gearbox, comfort, space, and mpg (for the time period). Amazingly realiable I still see a lot of them o the streets and mechanics all say they love it. Will be very hard to eventually swap it for a new car I really love that thing. It's gentle when it you want it to be gentle, nd agressive when you want it to be agressive. Great car
I'm currently looking for a preowned car, and these two are my choices (and the CRV and RAV4)... you have made my decision making much easier..... to be honest i was considering a Jetta, but after watching your video about ir, you made me RETHINK my choices! all your videos were REALLY A BIG HELP!

I’ve owned both & favor the Toyota hands down. My Toyota’s have never spent a day in the shop. My Hondas’s have very expensive repairs (transmissions, a/c, power steering pumps etc.) & the paint didn’t hold up. I will be a Toyota customer for the rest of my life.

My girlfriend is looking at a 2005 Toyota corolla and then I found this video and glad to see it is a very good year for the car so that makes me happy seeing she will be getting a great little car
I had a 2008 Honda civic ex. Loved it. I never got stuck in the snow or had trouble in storms while other cars were stuck and stranded. No costly issues.
I had her until 251000, I'm willing to bet she'd have gone to 300,000+ if it wasn't for a truck merging into it. Rip
I’m buying that car today, used. Can wait to test drive it.
The same thing happened to me with an '09 Civic, 211,000 miles and a semi merged into my rear quarter panel. Was running like a top, 37 mpg and consumed no oil.
Civics are just such a good car
Scotty is such a good guy
Agreed
Only type R
Youre such a good guy too
Dont listen to njad3, he drives a mirage g4
Lol
I'm considering trading my 2016 Honda Civic due to uncomfortable, low sitting seats and steering wheel sticking issue. After a little research, I see the sticking steering wheel is a common complaint in the 2016 models.
Ugh and to think I was lookin on carbs a and they’ve got a whole bunch of 2016 civics I thought I’d hit a lick
I currently own a 2004 Honda Civic ex it only has 120 k miles on it and it runs great. Just replaced the whole brake system and other things tips and tricks from Scotty’s videos. Thanks Scotty
Lukas stabilizer oil helps a lot with engines that have high mileage and they also have transmission treatment that gets rid of slipping and jerking lol saved me so much money literally
I'm in the same boat. I have a 2003 civic with just under 125k miles. The only problems i've had are generally wear and tear.
Hopefully you read this comment.
I'm thinking of purchasing a 2004 Honda Civic coupe with 177000 mi on it.
What would your opinion be on that?
@@johndobb8239 I drive a 2004 civic coupe. I absolutely love this car. I'm at 340000KM and have had to do very little maintenance in last 4 years since I bought it. I think like 600CAD worth for new control arms
My daughter has a 2009 corolla, zero problems. I have had 3 Toyotas, all fantastic.
I bought a 2001 Toyota Corolla S for $1100 almost 2 years ago. I've got no complaints!
how do you have time to pump these out on vacation ?? youre an animal man
He’s unreal
"Do what you’ll love, and you’ll never work another day in your life.”
and that's really apply to this case here...
Because he’s not on vacation, he’s making videos on location, big difference. He Doesn’t work! His only Job is RUclips and he makes money every video. You really think he’s trying to help anyone, lol, he’s lining his own pockets. Your only a like on a computer screen, wake up Morons.
@ryt ryt81 So are you shitting on him for being a capitalist of the good ol’ American dream?
@@spaceexplorer6636 he actually IS helping us more than you know.... which is WHY his pockets are lined, and they SHOULD be. This is what happens when you provide a good service or product. You can do it too! It’s not “just for Scotty.”
I owned a 2005 Honda Civic LX for 12 years and it was a rock. Awesome on fuel, started in -30 C weather, and very easy for working on/learning to work on. The catalytic converter punctured around 330K and that's when it started to get pricey for repairs. If well maintained, those engines will keep going. I'd buy another in a heartbeat. It's too bad they were never offered in a hatchback form for the 2001-2005 years.
Are you sure that they didn't offer a hatchback Civic from 01-05? I swear I've seen a bunch of them used, they're ugly as hell
@@tysonsutherland3501 Yup they did, the Civic SiR in Canada, the EP3 is the chassis name. I like them a lot tbh
@@MultiLittlegamer yeah, they definitely made them, I've seen them all over the used market in the US (near Chicago). Not sure where the other guy is from
I own a 2005 Civic Si Blue. The Si was only hatch for those years and wasn't very popular. They were made in the UK. Love it to death..It's snappy, lots of room, and pretty solid gas milage.
I have the same car on a sedan,2005 LX and yes reali good car 5 speeds manual, 200000 plus miles and keeps going every day.
I found a clean single owner 2012 civic 5mt 1.8 with 43,000 miles on it, it looks like it has Scotty's blessing.
I'm so glad I have a 2006 Toyoda Corolla LE. It has worked perfectly besides an intake gasket that needed replacing and it's a great car to modernize. I already installed a new android radio and am working on installing a dash and rear cam.
8th gen Civic gang ❗️🔥
My 8th gen Civic, done 250 thousand km. Soooooooo reliable!
Yessir 👍
09 civic 160,000 miles third owner 💙
Best Civic Type R 😍
Just hit 150,000 miles on my 2011 civic today.
I bought my first Toyota. After going through 2 Nissans, which everything broke down in BOTH of them at 180,00 miles (I mean transmission, engine, brakes, gears, wouldn't shift in reverse, everything) I vowed never to buy a Nissan again (to be fair I didn't maintain them). I went with Toyota. I feel peace now.
Here in Central Ohio were all about Honda. I and my family have owned a lot of cars over the years but well more than half of them were Hondas. They really can't be beat.
I have always wanted a Honda but for one reason or another I spent a decade and a half with an average French Renault Clio. Recently bought a DC5 Type-R and it's immense. I can't wait to buy my next Honda. It will either be an S2000 or the FK8 Civic Type-R.
@@TheDalitis8 good luck with that s2000 are so nice bro
A review I read on Honda's a few years ago described the Honda as being almost aircraft build quality which for me is just about as good as it gets
Isn’t there a Honda Plant in Ohio?
@@nocheesable2345: Yes, ever since the ‘80s, in Marysville just one county over from us.
Owning a manuel Civic 2012 DX for 7 years, no options (DX is base model).
110000 km, no major repair beside the starter, battery, breaks. very much love it!
What i love the most is the dashboard style.
Some of my friends in their late 40's like me told me "hey! It's Kit!"
Yeah! :)
I have a 2008 Honda Fit automatic with the 1.5L vtec. 204,000 miles and everything still works. 36 mpg and this car has awesome power!
I had a 06 Corolla that I loved.. till someone totaled me at 60 mph while I was sitting to make a turn. That car was amazing. I now have a 2011. Its better than an ok car..but loved my 06. Im still a Toyota fan. My next one will be either another Corolla or possibly a Tacoma, if I go with a truck. My friends and I are split on Hondas and Toyotas.
Beverly Sassone If you are open to a little advice, the Tacoma's are fine trucks but get a long bed I've had both and no four It's a long bed and a '07 with a short bed and rod quality in the long bed made a difference, of course on a good road they all ride good and on a bad road they all ride bad but the long beds make a difference I wish I had kept my '04 a long bed.
I bought a 2009 Tacoma brand new off the dealer lot. 190,000 miles later and no major mechanical issues. I'll put half a million miles on it.
The ultimate video that the entire world had been waiting for 🚗🚙
Careful you’ll hurt your nose it’s so far up there!
I've only owned Toyotas and they have been great. I have friends who own both and their advice on which to buy is, "flip a coin."
I owe both as well and they couldnt of been more right. !
If you want manual, get a civic. For auto, corolla.
Bought a 2006 Civic new. Drove it from Riverside to LA horrendous traffic jams every day for 8 years in 90 and 100 degree summer days to work. Then Riverside to Orange County another 4 years. Never a issue. If you live in LA you know what that proves. I still have this car and drive it on a regular basis. Only tires brakes and 100K valve adjustment and trans and engine oil changes as recommended.
Best damn car I’ve ever owned and I’ve owned a lot of cars. Not the fastest or most flashy but for transportation and reliability this thing is way over the top. It’s NEVER let me down. A/C still blows ice cold air. 30 mpg all the time. Everything still works. Runs like it’s new. No rattles no shakes.
Will NEVER sell this ride.
It’s my baby.
Scotty, I don't know who is doing your videos but while you were talking about 92-95 Civic, they were showing 96-99 cars. But I have a 2010 Honda Civic SI and I love it
