- Опубликовано: 16 сен 2024
- It’s time for the age-old debate: Toyota Corolla or Honda Civic? These two compacts have been duking it out since the ’70s and that battle has led to these two hatchbacks that are extremely likable and easy to recommend. Choosing a better hatchback comes down to the vehicle with more for the money, so let's jump right into the 2019 edition of this throwdown.

The Corolla is looking pretty damn good if you ask me. I love the headlights
Too bad its slower than it looks
Agree... looks superb! 👍☝️
It's easily the better looking car of these two!
@@AutoGuide if the Civic didn't have those fake vents front and back, it would be pretty close for me.
@@AutoGuide Haha, no. Even if you didn't pick one of the ugliest colours that you could get a car in, it's not "easily" the better looking one.
I still believe the naturally aspirated engine like in the Toyota will probably be more reliable over the long haul. Given Toyota's stellar reputation for reliability I'd probably go for it as a daily driver over the Civic.
Jeff Morse yup preach on! Turbos are gonna make honda fall flat on their face and i love honda
@@gigi9467 Hona's new turbo engines will have a hard time matching the 20 year lifespan for which their engines are world famous.
Right Lane Hog yup i know that and am against it that why i have a v8 mustang no turbo crap
Typically, they don't mention this in these videos. All they worry about is back seat and trunk space which inevitably always leads to more bloated over sized cars. The corolla engine is also direct AND port injected to prevent carbon issues. Toyota knows what they are doing.
That's fine. Doesnt make the Toyota the better car though.
After driving nothing but Honda for the last 10 years I finally went with a Corolla hatch for reasons you mentioned. Reliability concerns with the 1.5T and the fact you can't spec a 2L car with all the bells and whistles. I want something that is comfortable, going to last, and gets good MPG for my work commute. For me the Corolla was the clear winner in this regard. I love my XSE hatch.
Craig Chevalier was expecting to hear something inspirational here. After driving a Honda for 10 years, man gets a Toyota instead of upgrading to a luxury brand like Lexus or audi😂😂
@@ritiksfilms haha.. yeah I just want gas mileage and I don't make more money at this point. If I didn't have a long commute perhaps!
@@ritiksfilms For long term ownership, the luxury brand can't compare to a Civic/Corolla. However, that LS500 might be worth the effort... I've got the 2.0L Civic 6mt (but Sedan), and it's awesome (especially considering the basement price). Too bad they don't have that engine/transmission combo for the Hatchback.
@@psewgobind Exactly! I'm a hatch guy and the 1.5 was a no go for me. Good old 2.0 FTW....sadly, the corolla hatch is way too small to be useful...might go with civic sedan as the corolla sedan feel cheap and bland in base form...those small button for the hvac are a joke....
We're glad to hear you like your new XSE. What color did you get?
Naturally aspirated engine and aisin transmission in the corolla,you cant beat that for reliability.
Umm the last time I checked that transmission had a recall on it.
@@deet4895 recall was because of a batch defective part was used, not defective design, so the recall has nothing to do with reliability
@@ro0ster648 It doesn't matter if it's by faulty design or badly made parts, the fact still remains that it has a recall.
Ro0ster
@@Cakewalk. the new 2.0 Corolla engine has the world's most thermally efficient mass produced engine with dual fuel injection, way ahead of its competition. Probably too hard for your ignorant numbnut brain to understand.
Corolla xse with 6-speed manual and that nice blue colour they have, only downside is back seat room, but I ain't carrying anyone so, that's good for me.
But with such a cool car, you'll be popular in no time!
@@AutoGuide chicks ride in front
The Honda won because it’s better overall don’t complain people.
Better until the earth dreams engine issue pops up
Puneet Dass have you actually read on the issue? Or are you just going based of what’s been being said over the civics’ reliability concerns?
@@kyron9622 a quick 2 second Google search should bring up articles related to the issue
@Mario Lopez you must work for Honda
Honda stands by their product as long as it is under their warranty. Check honda care extended warranties. my honda pilot had issues with a known part of the engine that causes an oil leak between the engine and transmission, if under Honda's warranty they replace the engine, if under honda care, they use jb weld to repair it. Guess which one I had. Well needless to say I only buy toyotas now. Hondas heart and soul were their vtec engines. It was why so many loved them. They didnt just throw a turbo on an otherwise amazingly engineered trophy like so many others. Flash forward 15 years and look. If you haven't encountered the oil issue, anyone with a brain who understands turbos know they require rebuilds. Get ready for some bs dealing with honda.
Just a bit of history. Toyota started as a car company. Honda started as racing car company.
Im agreed back in the day Honda was wellknown by that n that's why their car is always great.
the whole point of having a hatchback is to have a practical car with a lot of room..The corolla is just too small, defeats the whole purpose of a hatch.
I believe Toyota chose to make the hatch so small because they offer a much more practical Corolla wagon in other markets. Since they don't sell that wagon in North America this hatch will disappoint a lot of people who want a practical small car.
That's what we thought, but apparently, some people want a compact hatch because it is both small AND practical. It's a tough balancing act, but for us, the Civic is just more car for the money.
Sounds like you want an SUV, so buy one. The Corolla hatch has plenty of room for a small car. I don't give a shit about rear seat space, I'd get a Miata if they'd sell it with a roof.
@@AutoGuide I'd rather have the smallest good car I can get my hands on. Smaller car = bigger road in the mountains.
Drove both, bought the Corolla hatch XSE. It just felt like a much more fun car to drive, looks a lot better and reliability is excellent. Can’t wait for some aftermarket parts and a nice tune. Love my XSE, people compliment it all the time, especially the saddle tan leather interior.
Looks a lot better? U gotta b joking
Jonnie Yanda Not joking at all. Everyone has a civic on the road and it looks hideous. I added the extra spoiler to mine and it looks great. The insurance rate is also MUCH better compared to the Civic. The XSE is much more enjoyable to drive, by far.
Recently, Japanese cars' design have been... too much. But that Corolla is good looking car.
Honda designer meeting: "ANGLE ANGLES ANGLES AND UGLY GRILLES"
@@AutoGuide IT NEEDS TO LOOK LIKE IT COULD FIGHT ALIENS FROM THE SEA FLOOR
Give me the corolla with the 6 speed 💯
Comin' right up! Thanks for watching!
I'm here for the Civic
Thank you ,thank you for being one of the few to point out the reliability problems the 1.5 turbo. In this class of vehicles, that’s a huge area the consumer is looking for . 👍
We're glad you enjoyed the video!
Both great brands. Toyota has stepped up their game with this car
Honda is an engineering company. Their specialty is motors. Honda has spirit. Honda all day!
I think the looks of the corolla hatch catapults it over the weird looks of the civic. Also, the reliability of the civic has really taken a dive since they left vtec. In manual guise the corolla would be my go to.
Can't go wrong with either . But don't buy the highest trim level ( waste of money ) the L.E or E.X would do ...
I'm contemplating the civis EX or Toyota Camry SE
Thanks for watching. You're right about the trims. For the price of those highest trim levels, you can get into a bigger car if you wanted to.
The new corolla looks so ugly, what were the designers thinking? They should take some notes from the civic
Your talking like the Civic is an attractive car, it's not, the fact is the Corolla is a much better looking car, especially in XSE trim with the large spoiler option.
Dee T XSE = xtra sucky Edition for Toyotaxi fleet lovers
Great review, I love the look of the higher spec Corolla and drove the 1.8 Hybrid a few weeks ago, really enjoyed it. You can never go wrong with Toyota's reliability track record. My current drive is a Sonic Grey Civic RS (Sports Touring) Hatch and I'm loving it, despite looking maybe a little dated to the Corolla, I LOVE the design as it stands out for what ever reason, many people come over and ask about it, could also be that Honda have a low market share in NZ so the Civic is not very common here, Toyota on the other hand have the highest share. Also I definitely agree the Civic T is more fun to drive, that 1.5T is fantastic. But without doubt, both cars are excellent for different reasons.
Both are very good cars, but i'd take the corolla
Yes.
You are so smart.
Good comparison review. Question: Has Honda improved upon its road noise issues? Regardless, Corolla with manual trans all day.
Thanks for watching! The Civic is pretty quiet, but not nearly as quiet as the new Mazda3. Between the Corolla and Civic, it's pretty much a wash.
This is why cars keep getting more and more BLOATED. All you guys do is complain about seat and trunk space. It's a COMPACT! Most people don't care if the other has 1 inch more of leg room.
Thanks for watching. That's definitely one perspective, but more buyers we talk to just want the most car for the money. That's also why these compacts come with so much tech. I suppose if you want a cheap and basic car you can opt for the Mitsubishi Mirage or Nissan Kicks...
@@AutoGuide This is why you can opt and buy a larger vehicle.
I like the civic style and size better but the 1.5t engine issues and the no manual option is a no no for me
gianfrancoa you can get a sport hatchback with 6speed. And the 2020 sport touring has a $speed as well
@@peterkalos6271 still, the 1.5t engine has oil dilution issues, so very unknown long term reliability
You CAN get the manual with the 1.5t. It's very fun actually. Additionally, our experience with these Honda engines have been positive, and our sources say that the automaker is being very helpful with customers who have been affected by these issues.
I am a proud owner of a ‘17 Honda Civic Sport Hatch 6MT. I’m at about 38k miles and never once has this car shown any signs of problems nor any signs of slowing down. In fact the more I drive it the more i love it. I get a big satisfaction passing up all the slow Corollas too! ;) About The 1.5t honda motor dilution issues: do your homework on it. The problem was found happening more predominantly to the CR-V which carries the same 1.5t engine. Also has to do with the pattern of driving. If you don’t take your car for long drives and are only using it 1 day out of the 7 days in the week to get groceries at your local market, then chances are you aren’t letting the motor burn fuel efficiently at a proper temperature which can ruin a motor in the long haul. Do your homework before talking up your storm people! #TeamHonda
Driving and loving an '18 Civic Sport Touring. WITH A 6MT, which is the one to have, not the CVT (42 000km so far)
When it comes to oil dilution, after over 3 years, I still have to hear about engine failures in these cars. Just have to keep up with oil level.
Glad to hear you love your Civic. Those oil dilution issues are popping up here and there, but it still seems kind of rare.
I'm a Toyota guy.. but I agree with this review. Well done guys!
Thanks for watching!
Buy a used Camry instead. The 2.5l AR motor has no issues since '13 and you get a regular automatic transmission. The stereo system is very good if it's anything like my '13 Camry. Zero leaks, zero issues, just fluid changes.
Troy Strain your camry is boring. Old platform. The corollas transmission is fine.
Those Camrys will last forever! Thanks for watching!
I had to choose between both. The civic looks too ugly. I couldn’t own it and be happy about it. The corolla is a good car for being an econo hatch that’s for sure.
geo g the corlla is the ugly one if anything lol
Strawberry Kisses beauty is in the eye of the beer-holder 🍺
The Civic should come with a paper-bag mask to cover the owners embarrassment for driving such an ugly car. :P
AutoGuide.com the civic has the face only a mother can love
The Japanese companies so often go full on Transformer in their designs. Less is more.
The Corolla with the hatch and a manual is pretty decent. Motortrend had it at 7.5 seconds to 60 and 8.5 with the auto. 7.5 is more than adequate and very close to the Mazda 3. Add to that it's use of dual injection which means no carbon buildup like in all other Direct Injection engines and you have a somewhat fun and very reliable car for a daily driver. The only real negative I can see with the Corolla is it's rear seat leg room. Other than that it's pretty decent all around. I've heard Toyota is looking at giving it a real sport treatment in the near future.
Agreed.
Thanks for the feedback. A TRD Corolla would be the perfect step up for the new Corolla.
@7:00 I just recently purchased the Corolla hatch and I agree... it does hit that fun zone unless ur above 4k... I've been a honda guy my for over 25yrs, still am, but after owning 5 diff hondas) I made the switch... i got the Corolla in a manual for a lil over 18k... best new car buy, in my opinion...
I have a 2009 Honda civic LX coupe. I love Hondas
Joshua Collins stick to it dont buy the new hondas
@@gigi9467 Thanks. I brought it in 2016. My car had 71K and now I have 90K on it now.
Yes don't sell it. Keep it. 8th gen are the best!
Is that sylvester the cat doing a review
Suffering succotash!!! 😂
Yeah no shit. So annoying!
Civic. Every single day.
Civic has more space which is understandable since the car is freaking huge.
Miguel Angel Medina Rise it’s only 3 inches longer and it’s more lower than the Corolla
@@f181234 where do u get your numbers from? The Civic HB is 6 inches longer than the Corolla HB
Civic turning into a family car overnight. The SI these last few years have been thoughtless too
Ro0ster I’m looking at the wheelbase but in terms of total length that’s not that much bigger if you see them in person the civic is barely longer
SuperSmoovy at least they have performance models and the current si is fine when was the last time the Corolla had a performance model? Or any Toyota?
Corolla Baby!
Stay away from turbo engines. All kinds of reliability issues. Toyota all day every day.
Paul M Thanks Scotty 👍
toyota corolla all the way
The Civic may win the battle but Toyota will win the war. The reliability factor is critical in this segment. People will go for the Corolla over the Civic just because it's a Toyota. You can't underestimate the power of a brand.
Civic all the way. Honda’s drive so good. The Corolla feels so cheap and the road noise pisses me off. Yeah the civic has reliability concerns but Honda hasn’t failed at the turbo. Not sure why people are panicking. Only a tiny number of vehicles have actually had the issue but of coarse Honda is being responsible and is issuing repairs for those who have been affected and updates for those with the 1.5L.
What's with reviewers that keep saying my car is ugly and I need my eyes tested for liking it.
Civic any day.
Those low profile tires get flats so frigging easy in the north when you hit pot holes.
A 16" wheel is more than sufficient on pothole filled streets. #SaveSideWall
Love my 18’ Japan built EXT Civic. 44mpg and no issues at 20K
Have they fixed the engine design problem with the earth works engine in the Civic? That's a NO.
Corolla SE 6 Speed would be my choice but too bad it is SO small inside.
I find the interior was a big let down too. As a 2016 Scion iM owner, I moved to a impreza hatch back just 2 months ago. IF the rear seat have as much as leg room like the iM it replace, I would stay with toyota
@@bensonc627 I saw a new Corolla hatch parked beside a first generation Vibe and it looks tiny in comparison. The Vibe/Matrix is at least 5 inches taller. The new Corolla hatch is almost like an upgraded Yaris in stature. That loss of practicality will cost Toyota sales.
@@rightlanehog3151 if you open the trunk and see how high the trunk floor was. It is the moment my wife said there is no chance we are getting this as replacement. Although I like the new cvt and engine. Btw, Subaru impreza was a lot roomier but use tag more fuel. And feel much much slower for hwy speed pass.
@@bensonc627 The Corolla wagon they sell in Europe is much more useful.
@@rightlanehog3151 if they sell that here in c@nada, I would pick it for sure, love that since the iM generation. Auris touring
27 thousands Dollars!!.. that is a Mazda 3 teratory!! I will definitely take a look at Mazada and test drive. First.. Before Toyota and Honda..
Drive the 3 ,I did and then bought it
Big facts these cars are getting expensive
The mazda 3 is a gem. I'd say its acceleration is faster than the civic turbo and naturally aspirated
Mine was $24,500. Got the manual hatchback XSE. You can probably get it cheaper than that anyway. 💁🏿♀️ I love my car. 🙂
Civic hatchback is still way more fun than the Corolla hatchback this is the first time I’ve heard the current Corolla hatch is more fun to drive this gen civic is even more fun than the last gen si
What's Sylvester doing presenting a video about cars?? Lmfao
OMG! That's hilarious!!! 😂👍
I just personal leaning more towards the civic. But I would not mind a corolla
The Corolla, Enlantra GT, and Mazda3 hatchbacks are on my shortlist for a sporty commuter. Thanks for a great review
Thank you , guys ! HONDA FOREVER ! For me , beautiful car
I like the sedans, not the ugly hatchbacks, which are convenient buffets for smash and grab thieves. The Civic LX has no turbo so should be very reliable. I like the Corolla Hybrid and the SE sedan. The 2019 Hyundai Elantra is very ugly and can be had at a give-away price because few people want them. At 14.5k out-the-door price for the base model, they are a good deal and reliable if you can stomach the looks.
Christopher Calder yes that’s a really good point. I honestly think the 19 base Elantra is a hell of a deal. Some dealerships are selling them for 11,12k. I would say it definitely puts up a good fight for a reliable cheap to own car just like the corolla with the 1.8.
I'll just buy both.
Rich uncle pennybags here! ;) (Thank for watching!)
Toyota Hatchback: bad infotainment system, smaller,
Honda Hatchback: more space, faster and fun to drive
What car is reliable these days? 🤔
The Civic has oil dilution problems.
And just watch Scotty kilmers video about the Corolla's cvt service campaign.
Nikki De La Cruz lol i had to laugh. only something like 3500 corollas has issues with the torque converter . Scotty needs to retire.
06 bmw e60 3500 or 1 percent
Civic already recalled and fix
mazda will be the new Toyota.
Nikki De La Cruz civics don’t have oil problems I have a 2018 model
Not sure if that guy in the Civic at around 2:30 is on the spectrum, but the interior of the Civic certainly does not have some insane plethora of buttons.
googlewolly you can here it in his voice. fucked up tongue control
tbh i like the civic's design more. idk why though
Hondas interior is better!!
It's sad there's more corolla fans than honda civics
Nikolai Bueno nah civics are for Wuss
Corolla looks like a sick puppy and if you get a black civic the paint matches the “mustache” in the front
The Corolla has my vote.
Corolla with stick
Thats the best decision
Best presentations and knowledge about cars.
Thanks for watching!
I own a toyota and a honda before I see this I just wanna say Toyota is the best
3:30
Toyota had the option to go to turbocharging in all their new engines, but decided against it, for reliability
The Civic is a better daily driver, due to superior room and power.
The Corolla is better looking, and has more safety equipment standard. MPG is pretty much a wash
It used to be if you wanted fun in any spec, get the Civic or a Focus and if you want reliability, get the Corolla. I bought a Corolla yesterday and I took the twisty road to try it out.
It's not up to a Focus, but it's bloody close.
The conversation I hear nowadays most evolves around reliability. Performance is nice, but these large purchases aren't annual decisions that have no recourse. Our youth and parents are taking notes. I can only hope the manufacturers see that important factor as well
Damn that Corolla looks great
I like al Japanese compact cars but Mazda 3 looks like better value then both of these. Design and interior fit and finish is on another level plus it still has real (and quick shifting ) transmission and naturally aspirated engine with 186 hp as standard.
The Driver ...and no CVT. We all know that CVT stands for Crappy Vehicle Transmission.
The Mazda 3 is more $$$. How is it a better value? It's just as good as both of these but it costs more. Value?
Dont be fooled by the crome on the dash its annoying when sunlight strikes it and reflects to your vision.
Can anyone let me know what they're referring to when they talk about reliability concerns on the Civic 1.5 turbo engine? I was looking into getting that for a coupe, but a major selling point is that 200k warranty. I'd love for it to just keep chugging passed that, like Hondas do.
Also: does it actually recommend premium fuel?
There is a commonly reported oil dilution issue, which can really impact the longevity and durability of the 1.5T Hondas. It's been covered under warranty for people who are having issues. Our Sport Touring model recommends premium, but other trim models don't.
@@AutoGuide So very helpful, thank you!
Corolla for me
civic back end needs a redo
Can't go wrong with either.
so what you are saying is that both these cars are so mediocre that you should go with the new Mazda 3
I'm with Toyota bro :)
I’ll still take a Dodge Dart GT with all the features. Really really good interior for the class STILL. Soft touch in high trims. When will they learn that yes people in this class want “reliability” BUT a little excitement and better a quality interior will go a long way. The dart offers a turbo AND a naturally aspirated engine.
I had Toyota before just sold it. Broken engine at 85K mileage unbelievable how soon the car last but i still like Toyota though n now I'm looking to buy new one n got test drive corolla and Civic, oh God! Honda is rock. So fast n steering wheel is tight like sport car n have better technology n android play come with(toyota have only apple play that i dont use). I feel so comfortable driving feel so fast car. I love it right away of my first time test drive Civic. I tested drive 3 brands in one day(toyota,Hyundai and honda) and knew right away Honda it is.
Could that guy's voice be any more fake or off-putting?
Corolla 2020 give us more trunk space please !
Then just buy a BIGGER CAR! Seems like a compact isn't for you!
Well they make the Corolla wagon in Europe, for some reason they think Americans hate wagons, so they're not bringing it over
@@sdlausen1 The new Corolla is definitely undersized for its segment.
I Actualy really enjoy Honda’s new styling choices. Major improvement over the 7th and 8th generation. Tho they’ve kept pretty major similarity’s to 9th and 10th gen looks.
The Toyota engine and transmission should be much more reliable than the Civic's. Also, real world MPG should be better in the naturally aspirated engine.
What car is reliable these days
Still Toyota
Hondas
Toyota. Honda, get ready for all those turbo rebuilds
Your mom 😂👍🏻
Lexus Toyota Honda mazda kia hyundai
I'm not even interested in the cars. I just watched for the presenters.
We're sorry, The Bachelor: AutoGuide edition has been cancelled.
I love the corollas I don’t care who anyone says they beautiful 😍 the most important thing They last forever if you take good care of them, I have the Matrix XR 03 almost reaching 300 thousand miles still driving like it’s new and I also have a Corolla S 2013 it drives smooth I love does cars, Honda’s are good for sport they pretty fast I also have a Tune Honda Civic for sport she’s amazing
Compare these hatchbacks to the Mazda 3, please.
All of them are so ugly and trying too hard to be something other than a hatchback.
We compared the Civic hatch to the Mazda3 AWD hatch a few weeks back, be sure to check that out!
Looks like an honest review.
I like more buttons and always.
I love the interior on the Corolla better. Simple and straight forward.
Just buy the sedan corolla, it is better.
all the new hatchback designs use the stupid sloping hatch...decreases interior space for no apparent purpose. Traditional roofline like a Golf is more practical IMO. Also, these would certainly be better cars with manual trans.
Agreed, we actually love the practicality of the Golf. It's a shame that the standard Golf is going away!
As a 2019 Civic Type R owner, I approve of this video! The civic is a great all around car and I like it's more aggressive looks over the Corolla. The car is so comfortable and very roomy!
I would love the Civic type R if it wasn't so over the top ugly. Looks like a horrible ricer body kit.
This was a good comparison video.
Corolla for the win!
27K for an econobox with a cvt? No thanks.
Plur307 my colbolt got 27 miles mpg
I honestly don't know which one I'd choose. I'm leaning Civic given Android Auto support and the faster 1.5L turbo. The Corolla looks so much better though. Tough. I'm more frustrated that Toyota put an 80 cent infotainment system in the Corolla. Just lazy
Fair.
Rolla
I respect the fact Toyota has been taking it time to redesign their products. You can also see that in the. Very limited application of turbocharging. They have redesigned or upgraded their lineup to make them good all around cars. I am sure all of us remember when the critics dogged Toyota for keeping a Four speed automatic in the last gen now lets looks at Ford's fiesta and focus. Simple lasting well past 100k or before 50k and the transmission goes out. Not a safety problem for a CEO sitting on his a$$, but the consumer God help them. I already know two people who complained about it.
The front of the corolla looks sooooo clean
wow the corolla looks rly ugly
You guys do not do a thorough review. On paper civic is better, but this engine has all kinds of problems recently. In addition its got direct ejected turbo, which means after a couple of years the performance and efficiency will drastically reduce thanka to the carbon build up, and cleaning carbon is costly. Resale value will also suffer thanks to poor engine. Also the cvt of toyota should be more reliable thanks to the first physical gear.
27,000 dollars is ridiculous for a car that does nothing outstanding.
8:02 No, it doesn't have 170 horsepower; it has 168. Close, but still; a review should state the proper numbers.
