My mom bought the 2016 Honda Civic Turbo today and it's awesome! We had a rough choice between the 2017 Toyota Corolla and the Honda which are both great cars but honestly we all feel that we made the best choice. WOOO HONDA!
Great video as always, Laura. I purchased a 2014 Corolla S Plus two years ago and sold it recently. Great little economy car, but I wanted something bigger and with more power. I contemplated an Accord V6, but decided to go with a 2016 Nissan Maxima. For anyone in the market for a nice eco car, both cars shown in this video are terrific choices.
This video was very informative and I gave it a thumbs up. Basically it comes down to which features are more important to the buyer. They are both awesome cars.
+David Moreno Congrats on the Civic purchase. Keep us all updated on likes and dislikes, our fans love to hear your voice. Thanks for sharing and Happy New Year. :)) Honda Laura
toyota kills the honda for reliability running costs and resale and initial purchase price. the corolla is thousands and thousands cheaper than the honda.
Hey dji, there is only a $975 difference between these 2 trims.. After 5 years the civic will actually save you over $500 and the Corolla has a higher depreciation after 5 years. Both are great cars! -Honda Laura
Herb Chambers Honda of Seekonk Laura, this shape corolla is 4 or 5 years old now and is due to be updated any day. certainly the brand new civic looks fresher. New corollas due shortly will be hybrids, plug in hybrids, completely new sheetmetal, hatches, all sorts of goodies, when they arrive, compare them to the new civic, not a 4 year old toyota. My advice would be if people want a car to last 200k, Honda, if you want 400k, toyota. Whenever you see a thirld world militia pick up with a 50calibre bolted on to the back of it, it's always a Toyota. That must tell us something.
+TheSlickkEffect the honda civic also has more power and is stronger feeling then the corolla idk ive never drivin a honda but i really do want that beautiful honda civic i have the corolla 2015..... i love my car though very reliable and very smooth car to drive and very quite motor..... and very comfertable.....
You are right. At the end of the day is a personal choice. Both cars are great ,drive good and has many features. It is a hard choice, but drivers will buy what they like and that is all. I own an Accord 2012 exl sedan and now has 87k miles. No issues as of today. And I really love the car. Good review,thank you.
The truth is, toyota corolla's agressive and sporty front-trapezoidal grill is hard to beat in its class. Honda civic was in panic mode redesigning from top to bottom to catch up with the corolla only to mess up the back badly with an elaborate out-of-proportion brake/tail lights.
The back of the honda is the best part.. the front is the problem looks little weird. The the toyota grill is what beats honda grill any day. Just she wont admit it cause she works for honda.
Looking back at these two comparisons after 5 years, I can clearly say that the Corolla is a clear winner when it comes to reliability. Honda’s had momentum over Toyota from late 80s to early 2000s but Toyota have consistently have been reliable but have surpassed Honda with their naturally aspirated engine over the absolute garbage Honda’s have been making in the last 10 years. With their Turbos and electronic component failures, Honda needs to go back to their roots and start building simple cars.
Thank you for noticing my comments, I have been a Honda fanboy for the last 3 decades and Honda buried the double wishbone suspension, quality Japanese parts and bulletproof reliability but now days I am so so disappointed on Honda’s built quality made up by marketing group instead of engineers. If Honda does not want to lose market share for next 10 years they better start building legendary cars instead of just cookie cutter cars with poor handling, poor reliability. You can’t just put on low profile tires to say that handling is great on a car; it must be breakthrough suspension components and then the low profile tires will enhance the handling...not the other way around where you see poor suspension design and low profile tires. This is just one example that Honda are cutting corners. Honda!!! Look at your past generation cars such as Integra, Prelude, early 90s Accord, early 90s Civic, mid 90s Odyssey 4 cyclinder....learn from these vehicles and apply to future Accord and Civics. Honda can barely design a volume knob anymore, look at the Ridgeline volume knob...so dainty and out of place.
You better do your research before you cut down Honda Toyota has so many lawsuits ondem I'm still surprised they're still in business people have gone into accidents and have died because of failure with Toyota vehicles and you're trying to convince people that Toyota is better do your research you're not fooling anybody Honda is number one and always will be love it or hate it
@@hulkbig1151 my research is my life experience of owning my first Honda in the early 80s Accord and owning Hondas for 3 decades. No more research is needed to help to see that Toyotas are far superior and consistently reliable.
You obviously need more research actually all you have to do is Google it and you can see how many lawsuits are against Toyota I'm assuming you're going to assume they have a lot of lawsuits because of the reliability unfortunately it doesn't work like that they have lawsuits because they're not reliable and they hurt their customers as well as other drivers and the few people got killed because of the reliability again you need to do your research one simple question to Google and you will get your answer
amazing. funny how my father is a huge toyota fan. we have only purchased camrys and he always preferred it over honda. just recently we purchased a 2010 honda odyssey exl and it is fantastic. I want to feel a honda accord so that I can make up my mind of maybe breaking the camry cycle. I know these are corolla and civic but still wanted to share a story. have a great day/night laura :)
Even the latest launched 2014 Honda city is overall superb with the advanced infotainment panel, increased wheel base and boot space, uncluttered yet have a much more premium feel than its rivals.
You got it going so far with these reviews, keeping it fresh and using a good camera too. but your audio is kinda bad. new Mic maybe?? anyways reviews are pretty good! thumbs up.
+Acuravigor47 Looking at a new camera and mic. We've been shooting with a t5i for about 3 years. Moving up to a Sony a7s. Thanks for the feedback!!! :) Honda laura
Laura's 100% right, the NEW Honda is just far better engineered and equipped... I sat in both, and I'm 6ft, 235lb muscular and I am much more comfortable in the Honda, plus it drives SMOOTH as heck!
Honest review!!! I like the Honda Civic very much compare to Toyota Corolla. I have Corolla 2010 and am already thinking in swapping it with Honda Civic EX as soon as it hits Afghanistan market. #Respect for both Honda & Toyota :-)
I was in Corolla s today and it is a great car it feel sporty and the interior is great overall the civic maybe be better but the Corolla sport is just great great drive panel is great and I love the looks if you are buying a basic model then go for the civic if you want the sport version then do corrola.
+Y Brent take my advice avoid jettas. i own one and pay insane amounts of money for services and every time i take my car in for an oil change something is wrong. ive dropped way too much money on this car to ever consider buying one again. it drives nice, and the interior is nice, but thats it. save yourself and buy japanese. mazdas are super nice.
TheSleve22 Thank u for telling me that. Although I know VW's quality are not so well in the recent years, I still prefer jetta right now. Most people like corolla and civic but not me. Not only because how they looks but also their CVT gearbox, I have a 2014 accord now and the CVT gearbox of my accord just work so badly during the winter time here at up state NY. CVT cant work well at low temperature. So no honda toyota and nissan. Focus and cruze had 6at, but they shift so slow, I miss my old MT car so much when I drive focus and cruze. I gonna say mazda 3 is a really really good car, powerful comfortable, easy to handle and have a great gearbox. The only thing is the rear space are tiny, otherwise I will go for it. As for jetta, it got the most powerful engine in this class, big space, easy to drive, smart gearbox. That why I prefer jetta. By the way, the car is for my gf daily drive. Could you please by more specific about what issue did u found on your jetta? I would be appreciated..
+Y Brent interesting. my mom just bought a subaru legacy with a cvt. i actually thought the subaru cvt is nice, but i didnt know they performed poorly in the cold. yeah i really like the mazda 3 especially the hatchback. anyways in terms of problems with my volkswagen, the biggest one that comes to my head right now is the transmission pan gasket, it keeps breaking and leaking every 6 months to a year on my car, and it usually costs roughly $300 to fix at volkswagen dealers. parts on generally more expensive for volkswagen in general. i have had problems with my air conditioning not working, one of the fan not working, currently my ceiling liner is falling from the ceiling and volkswagen said it would be $1k to fix. my usb port wasnt working and so i couldnt play my music in the car, volkswagen wanted $100 to fix it, i ended up looking at it and finding out the usb port was just loose, now it works. they never took the time to see if it was just loose. dont get me wrong in terms of in class comparison the back seats are roomy, the trunk is big, the interior is nice, it is powerful and fun to drive. i feel like gas mileage is pretty horrible. on a recent 400 mile road trip i got 25mpg, and being that i do mostly city driving during my commute to work, i get about 18mpg. idk if leasing is an option for you guys, that might not be a bad way to go with volkswagen. another thing i have heard is it depends on where the volkswagens are made, german made volkswagens are apparently better than mexican made ones.
Just got the 2016 Toyota S Plus, and its very smooth and silent driving. At full tank the in-car system predicts 385 miles for the full tank. Paired the iPhone to the Entune system with no issues. Haven't used Siri Eyes Free as yet. Acceleration is fast and smooth, under the CVT, I haven't used the manual. Had to adjust the contrast on the rear camera, as I couldn't see yellow parking lines that clearly. I live in a hilly area and the CVT is a little sluggish on the hill climbs but kicks in after a slight push on the accelerator.
I always think black looks best when it is clean. And that lasts how long - about 10 minutes after you wash it? There's nothing uglier than a dirty black car. White it is.
Hi Laura, as usual very good review, quite detail in comparison between these two popular car but indeed i would choose Civic (no doubt) you know why .. because every time you're inside the Corolla i can tell that you don't like pretty much of that and you're not as excited as you're inside the Civic (IMO), but the build quality is good, but overall..both exterior and interior what Civic has to offer are just more advanced, good looking at both front end and back!! PS: again Laura you're cuteness starting to engraved in my head hahahaha. I'm from Indonesia and i hope you're understand my (poor) English and good luck to you Ms Laura 😊
+Didi Atthas Thanks for sharing this great feedback Didi, I'm grateful. We're really excited about this new 2016 Civic. Keep watching!!! ;)) Honda Laura btw no problem on the English, we're in about 200 countries at this point. :)
I am a big fan of Honda, but they messed up with the new 2016, too bulky. The Civic is supposed to be slim, small, smooth, and flashy. This Civic looks like the Accord. Honda you're great, but I went with the Corolla on this one, love the inside and love the outside. Good job on the comparison👍🏽.
Hey look who's back!! "The honda queen" 😁 I drove the new honda civic aswell, love the speedometer and the interior which is really cool. When i drove the civic it didn't give much driving thrill and it feels modern but one thing all car manufacturers forgetting day by day which is the mechanical feel of the car for example manual gear box (stick shift) i dont like boring cvt, power steering and many more, the steering is abit stiffer then the corolla, apart from those downsides honda made a cool car. I cant wait to drive new Type-R im really curious to see the combination of vtec and turbo power 😁😬.
+Humza Ahmed Video starts with "Hi I am Honda Laura" but props to Honda for making a pretty nice Civic. The technology beats Corolla hands down but as other have mentioned. It comes down to reliability and cost of ownership. Main would always be a owners preference and which shape they like.
The Civic doesn't have true LED taillights. The actual brake light itself is still incandescent. It just has "LED accents" according to the Honda website. When you brake, cars around you will still see the incandescent light.
I really hate the asymmetrical wheels Honda is putting out for 2016 line up. Subaru is doing the same for the new crosstrek. Idk if its trend now but I prefer symmetrical wheels. That being said, cant beat 99$/m lease on the new corolla 2016 s+. Honda has more features in their models, but Toyota has better deals. Plus, this comparison is very bias coming from a "Herb Chambers HONDA of Seekonk" channel.
Great review Laura! The Civic has the edge for now(until the new 2017 re designed Corolla) with the new 2017 Elantra right up it's back. That being said, you are beautiful:)
jajaja, I own a toyota and a Civic, I Love the new Toyota, but the new Civic EX is a 100 years ahead of Toyota, bigger engine and nore MPR, nicer screen, interior is very quiet with no noise and feels like a Mercedes with automatic hand brake and Parking. Dont laugh please.
Honda all the way! My favorite thing about Honda is it seems like they actually ask consumers what they want in a vehicle before it goes to production. Their vehicles are so family friendly and super safe.
Yes the Hondas are super safe at least when you let the gas go the vehicle will slow down and stop can't see much for the Toyota and all their lawsuits people don't seem to bring that up anymore
That's because it is a whole class better. Time will prove it. But I suspect when Toyota finally comes out with the next model of Corolla the Civic will be the granny.
In a few weeks I'm going to be test driving the latest models of the:
Corolla Civic Mazda 3 Elantra Focus Dart
Needless to say it's going to be a busy few days, but it's been 8 years since I purchased my last car and I want to make sure that I really like and enjoy my next. Having not driven any of the new models I have to say that I am currently leaning towards the touring trim of the Civic. I really like the new exterior styling (especially the all LED front lamps of the touring trim) and I think it's the best looking out of the bunch, though none of the cars are bad looking by any means, they all look great. Another thing that I like about the new Civic is the new 1.5L turbo in the higher trim levels. So far based on my research it seems to offer the best gas mileage while offering the most HP (174). I like to have a little pick up and go for highway/interstate driving so that right there is another great plus.
Now of course I could change my mind as I test drive these cars and decide the Civic isn't for me, but for now the Civic is my top pick.
I own a 2016 Toyota Corolla S. Its an amazing car, reliable and good on gas. I'm also a Toyota fan, never been a Honda fan. I'm proud to own a car from the largest and greatest manufacturer in the world.
Great review! is it a coincidence that your first name is "Honda"? ;) LOL BTW - too bad that this Honda Civic is not marketed in other countries, only in the USA :(
But I have to give it to you. That Civic is better than that Corolla..more fuel efficient, great interior and better looking, especially the tail lights. These two just take turns every year. Thanks for your video.

Hey Aneeq, this is the 2.0L EX trim level. There are noticeable differences of driving impressions between the turbo and non-turbo models, a 16 Horsepower differnce. -Honda Laura
Toyota is the new granny's car, get that shit out of here. Their entire lineup look hideous. This Corolla doesn't stand a chance to the new Civic. I don't know what Toyota is thinking, they've stuck with the ugly streak for a good 5 years now. If it isn't Lexus, keep looking.
A good point I'd like to make is that the Corolla Sport model you had is the upgrade package. While the Honda was the EX? Or LX? Either way you had a lower base model with the Civic versus the Corolla midrange Sport model which was only 300 more. Civics typically are a fee thousand more than the Corolla. Personally Honda transmission are very very weak, compared to their engines. They also have that heavy body sway feel that the Corolla does not have. But to me, the Corolla is still sturdy, and holds its own without being hard to drive
+Amber Hargreaves Go for Toyota cars as they r more experienced about cars ... Toyota has been making cars from like past 64 years So u can choose which is better ...
Part of the reason I am partial to Mazda right now is that they are sticking to naturally aspirated engines w/ 6 speed auto or manual transmissions. If tuned correctly, a NA engine w/ cogged tranny will feel more connected as far as engine feel goes (subjective, of course). Personally, I have not driven the new civic yet, but if it is anything like the other sedans with CVT's on the market, it just will not jive with me. My BIGGEST concern with CVT transmissions is that they try to compensate for engines losing power over time by revving higher. That means over time, a CVT will start feeling like a rubber band. A basic cogged transmission doesn't feel like this. Of course, it is possible that has changed with the new Civic. I guess only time will tell.
I sat in the Mazda 3 yesterday and it's not as comfortable. Especially the back seat! When you close the door, it makes this loud annoying noise. I didn't test drive it though.
+Mad Pistol Yeah, I'm looking to find a car for my mom. The 3 also doesn't look up to date on the dash. Also, the plastic didn't seem so great. Plus, the middle mirror is too low that covers the front visibility.
Toyota is more experienced than Honda. Why don't u compare Honda Pilot 2016 3.5 with Toyota Land Cruiser 2016 5.7 .. we will get to know which company is better .... Toyota has been making cars from last 64 years it knows what's best for the driver as well as passengers . So pls do think about comparing these two cars, companies...
+Santos Rios Man, not gonna argue for no reason. My dad is driving a 2002 Odyssey with 204k mileage on it. The engine is still very very smooth. He did not run in any problem with its engine. So please, don't talk blindly. Btw, new Pilot beats the High Lander in every angle. Check the reviews.
you went in that red 2015 toyota corolla s and you said that the seats were comfortable right? and on the 2016 corolla s you said the seats were hard the seats on the 2015 and 2016 are the same.
Toyota Corolla it still the best ever from year model 1980-2017 has in my family members using Toyota Corolla for over 50 years we trusted, then now I bought new my very first new car Toyota Corolla XSE last week that's my reward when I did past my road test! Honda Civic it is stylish and modern. 🚗😎😀
I see the civic also has heated mirrors from your center console shots. Nice thing about Hondas is that their trim levels dictate the option packages. Ex civic will always have a sunroof. Optional on Corolla. And so it goes with other options.
the girl did a terrible job in this video. obviously she works for Honda or at least was doing this for Honda but she forgot to mention that the corolla while it may not be as fancy as the civic is in fact the number 1 selling car in america. civic wasn't even in the top 10. in fact Honda didn't even get 1 car in the top 10.
Jason, she literally starts the video by telling you that her name is Honda Laura. And you're surprised she is biased towards Honda? Did you think that was her real name? Did you not notice that she posted it on the official account of a Honda dealer? As for your 'facts' it is the Toyota Camry that is the best selling car in America, not the Corolla. And as a guy that drives a rental car almost every week for work, I can tell you that America gets it wrong. The Camry is a boring piece of shit, with a horrific interior. Terrible gauges, and is as inspiring as eating cold dried toast. They sell a lot of Crocs too in America, but it doesn't mean I'd be buying a pair any time soon. Among compact cars, Corolla and Civic routinely battle for top spot although clearly Civic did get a bit boring in the last refresh, which they have certainly addressed in their 10th generation. I'm not a Honda fan at all, the closest I've come to owning one was a new Acura TL a few years ago. But I am considering a Civic to commute to the airport. One of my friends once bought a new Corolla, and it had this weird smell to it. We returned it to the dealer, and they said, "Yeah it does that, kind of like rotting eggs. But don't worry, that clears up by 10K miles!" I kid you not.
ZCT808 lol people used to tell me that Toyota's exhaust does smell like rotten eggs. When I smell something funny sometimes there is a Toyota in front of me. My mom and sister drives Toyota's and they hate when I tell them that. It's funny that you wrote that.
she works with honda and she is doing a honda vs toyota... let me guess.. the honda is gonna win!
Last time when She did a review of 2015 civic vs 2015 corrola the corrola won. She at list telling the true
Hahaha🤣😂😅most probably without a doubt Honda wins😁😜🤔
The Corolla is better in reality.
@@thebiggestcheeseoriginal not at speed, front styling, gas mileage, or handling. But it’s probably more reliable at least.

the civic is just beautiful.. i want it so bad.... 2.0liter vtec and 6 speed manual.....i want it
I'd rather the 1.5 liter with the manual but it only comes with the cvt
+Moultonlava Gaming I heard they are developing a 6 speed for the coupe that can be paired with the 1.5
+vader11111 which part are you talking about? I think your talking about the manual transmission.
Toyota 1st world wide best seller cars
+joss derosa that doesn't mean crap, Toyota is the iPhone of the car world
I was in Corolla s today and it is a great car it feel sporty and the interior is great overall the civic maybe be better but the Corolla sport is just great great drive panel is great and I love the looks if you are buying a basic model then go for the civic if you want the sport version then do corrola.
super bias
Agreed
Of course. She doesn't want to get fired.
Awesome vid as always ! :)
+Alex Soto Thanks Alex.... :) Honda Laura
Why is the audio's quality so bad. It sounds very flat and muffled.
YEAH!
They were using a go pro in the beginning of the video
my 92 civic with 246k is ridding strong, all my family have Hondas, we never have any problems, Hondas last as long as Toyotas.
Sweet! Thanks for sharing. :) Honda Laura
i would go for corolla or jetta or mazda 3, the rear of civic looks weird and it doesnt worth that much money
+Y Brent Great feedback, thanks for sharing. ;) Honda Laura
+Y Brent take my advice avoid jettas. i own one and pay insane amounts of money for services and every time i take my car in for an oil change something is wrong. ive dropped way too much money on this car to ever consider buying one again. it drives nice, and the interior is nice, but thats it. save yourself and buy japanese. mazdas are super nice.
TheSleve22 Thank u for telling me that. Although I know VW's quality are not so well in the recent years, I still prefer jetta right now. Most people like corolla and civic but not me. Not only because how they looks but also their CVT gearbox, I have a 2014 accord now and the CVT gearbox of my accord just work so badly during the winter time here at up state NY. CVT cant work well at low temperature. So no honda toyota and nissan. Focus and cruze had 6at, but they shift so slow, I miss my old MT car so much when I drive focus and cruze. I gonna say mazda 3 is a really really good car, powerful comfortable, easy to handle and have a great gearbox. The only thing is the rear space are tiny, otherwise I will go for it. As for jetta, it got the most powerful engine in this class, big space, easy to drive, smart gearbox. That why I prefer jetta. By the way, the car is for my gf daily drive. Could you please by more specific about what issue did u found on your jetta? I would be appreciated..
+Y Brent interesting. my mom just bought a subaru legacy with a cvt. i actually thought the subaru cvt is nice, but i didnt know they performed poorly in the cold. yeah i really like the mazda 3 especially the hatchback. anyways in terms of problems with my volkswagen, the biggest one that comes to my head right now is the transmission pan gasket, it keeps breaking and leaking every 6 months to a year on my car, and it usually costs roughly $300 to fix at volkswagen dealers. parts on generally more expensive for volkswagen in general. i have had problems with my air conditioning not working, one of the fan not working, currently my ceiling liner is falling from the ceiling and volkswagen said it would be $1k to fix. my usb port wasnt working and so i couldnt play my music in the car, volkswagen wanted $100 to fix it, i ended up looking at it and finding out the usb port was just loose, now it works. they never took the time to see if it was just loose. dont get me wrong in terms of in class comparison the back seats are roomy, the trunk is big, the interior is nice, it is powerful and fun to drive. i feel like gas mileage is pretty horrible. on a recent 400 mile road trip i got 25mpg, and being that i do mostly city driving during my commute to work, i get about 18mpg. idk if leasing is an option for you guys, that might not be a bad way to go with volkswagen. another thing i have heard is it depends on where the volkswagens are made, german made volkswagens are apparently better than mexican made ones.
TheSleve22 My accord can get 21mpg in city and 36 mpg on highway, that is the only good thing of cvt. Is ur jetta a 2.5 or 1.8t?
Just got the 2016 Toyota S Plus, and its very smooth and silent driving. At full tank the in-car system predicts 385 miles for the full tank. Paired the iPhone to the Entune system with no issues. Haven't used Siri Eyes Free as yet. Acceleration is fast and smooth, under the CVT, I haven't used the manual. Had to adjust the contrast on the rear camera, as I couldn't see yellow parking lines that clearly. I live in a hilly area and the CVT is a little sluggish on the hill climbs but kicks in after a slight push on the accelerator.
AWESOME...FRIGGIN, AWESOME!!!
Ur reviews are awesome! Keep up the good work ...
Thank you fellow Awesome person! ;) -Honda Laura
A civic for me but in white color 👍 👍 😃
+Paul USA Awesome. What trim level? :) Honda Laura
+Herb Chambers Honda of Seekonk I like EX. What is your favorite car color?
I like white ;) Honda Laura
+Herb Chambers Honda of Seekonk Nice, Laura )))
I always think black looks best when it is clean. And that lasts how long - about 10 minutes after you wash it? There's nothing uglier than a dirty black car. White it is.
Hi Laura, as usual very good review, quite detail in comparison between these two popular car but indeed i would choose Civic (no doubt) you know why .. because every time you're inside the Corolla i can tell that you don't like pretty much of that and you're not as excited as you're inside the Civic (IMO), but the build quality is good, but overall..both exterior and interior what Civic has to offer are just more advanced, good looking at both front end and back!!
PS: again Laura you're cuteness starting to engraved in my head hahahaha. I'm from Indonesia and i hope you're understand my (poor) English and good luck to you Ms Laura 😊
+Didi Atthas Thanks for sharing this great feedback Didi, I'm grateful. We're really excited about this new 2016 Civic. Keep watching!!! ;)) Honda Laura btw no problem on the English, we're in about 200 countries at this point. :)
I am a big fan of Honda, but they messed up with the new 2016, too bulky. The Civic is supposed to be slim, small, smooth, and flashy. This Civic looks like the Accord. Honda you're great, but I went with the Corolla on this one, love the inside and love the outside. Good job on the comparison👍🏽.
Hey look who's back!!
"The honda queen" 😁
I drove the new honda civic aswell, love the speedometer and the interior which is really cool. When i drove the civic it didn't give much driving thrill and it feels modern but one thing all car manufacturers forgetting day by day which is the mechanical feel of the car for example manual gear box (stick shift) i dont like boring cvt, power steering and many more, the steering is abit stiffer then the corolla, apart from those downsides honda made a cool car. I cant wait to drive new Type-R im really curious to see the combination of vtec and turbo power 😁😬.
"Honda" Laura making a comparison between "Honda' and Toyota. hehehe
+Mohd Syafiq Azizi HeHeHe :) Honda Laura
what's the price??? any comparison??
Oh yeah because this totally isn't going to be biased..
+Humza Ahmed ;)
+Humza Ahmed The auto group she works for also sells Toyotas.
+Humza Ahmed Totally agree!, she can't catch her breath when sitting in a Civic.
civic is still a better car, just look at them inside and out lmao
+Humza Ahmed Video starts with "Hi I am Honda Laura" but props to Honda for making a pretty nice Civic. The technology beats Corolla hands down but as other have mentioned. It comes down to reliability and cost of ownership. Main would always be a owners preference and which shape they like.
Is the Civic more quiet than the Corolla? Also not sure which civic you tested? Must have been an EX since LX doesn't have an 7 inch screen.
i think the international version of corolla looks better than the US version
+dknight xs Thanks for sharing.... :) Honda Laura
God idk.... getting a new car soon, don't know between those two, any advice?
+synos0202 Honda lol
I had the 15 corolla s and traded it in for the 16 civic ex and I'm so glad I did! hands down the civic is a way better car in all categories
OMG...it keeps getting better!!!!
Corolla actually looks better, but that's just my opinion.
+WuWei Xu Corolla FTW :)) Honda Laura
The Civic doesn't have true LED taillights. The actual brake light itself is still incandescent. It just has "LED accents" according to the Honda website. When you brake, cars around you will still see the incandescent light.
I really hate the asymmetrical wheels Honda is putting out for 2016 line up. Subaru is doing the same for the new crosstrek. Idk if its trend now but I prefer symmetrical wheels. That being said, cant beat 99$/m lease on the new corolla 2016 s+. Honda has more features in their models, but Toyota has better deals. Plus, this comparison is very bias coming from a "Herb Chambers HONDA of Seekonk" channel.
Great review Laura! The Civic has the edge for now(until the new 2017 re designed Corolla) with the new 2017 Elantra right up it's back. That being said, you are beautiful:)
+Gary Star Thanks Gary, blushing. Great feedback too! :) Honda Laura
+Gary Star Looked at the 2017 Elantra at a Auto Show this weekend. Civic has nothing to worry about.
i like the Laura
+rp2114 That pic??? lol love it. :)) Honda Laura
+Herb Chambers Honda of Seekonk i like laura too
+rp2114 doesn't she
Get in line 😆
Both great cars. Can't go wrong with Japanese cars period. I am a Toyota fan but would consider buying a civic too.
+Darryl Barnes Thanks for sharing Darryl, we love the feedback. Honda Laura
i say that Honda is 100.000.000 times way better than Toyota and i hate toyota and i prefer civic because some of the models have
lanewatch system :)
The Corolla put more money into durability of parts, Honda is now sacrificing durability for aesthetics and features. I’m going for the Corolla.
Thanks for the feedback! - Laura
jajaja, I own a toyota and a Civic, I Love the new Toyota, but the new Civic EX is a 100 years ahead of Toyota, bigger engine and nore MPR, nicer screen, interior is very quiet with no noise and feels like a Mercedes with automatic hand brake and Parking. Dont laugh please.
Great feedback! -Honda Laura
Honda all the way! My favorite thing about Honda is it seems like they actually ask consumers what they want in a vehicle before it goes to production. Their vehicles are so family friendly and super safe.
+Brodie Thomas Thanks for sharing, great feedback! :) Honda Laura
Yes the Hondas are super safe at least when you let the gas go the vehicle will slow down and stop can't see much for the Toyota and all their lawsuits people don't seem to bring that up anymore
the civic looks a whole class above the corolla
too much praise lol
That's because it is a whole class better. Time will prove it. But I suspect when Toyota finally comes out with the next model of Corolla the Civic will be the granny.
+guru gara Agree with you in the ladder part.
I don't think so
so tell me if Honda Civic have an airbag problem could it change your mind?
This is not a fair fight. Where in the world is Toyota Laura?
+Sonic Hedgehog lol :) Honda Laura
In a few weeks I'm going to be test driving the latest models of the:
Corolla
Civic
Mazda 3
Elantra
Focus
Dart
Needless to say it's going to be a busy few days, but it's been 8 years since I purchased my last car and I want to make sure that I really like and enjoy my next. Having not driven any of the new models I have to say that I am currently leaning towards the touring trim of the Civic. I really like the new exterior styling (especially the all LED front lamps of the touring trim) and I think it's the best looking out of the bunch, though none of the cars are bad looking by any means, they all look great. Another thing that I like about the new Civic is the new 1.5L turbo in the higher trim levels. So far based on my research it seems to offer the best gas mileage while offering the most HP (174). I like to have a little pick up and go for highway/interstate driving so that right there is another great plus.
Now of course I could change my mind as I test drive these cars and decide the Civic isn't for me, but for now the Civic is my top pick.
+03chrisv Great information. Let us know how you make out. :) Honda Laura
Corolla is the best among this.
What about truck space???
+Shelly A Plenty. Good point though, we'll spend more time on that in the future, thanks for sharing. :) Honda Laura
I own a 2016 Toyota Corolla S. Its an amazing car, reliable and good on gas. I'm also a Toyota fan, never been a Honda fan. I'm proud to own a car from the largest and greatest manufacturer in the world.
Hey Rebeca! glad to hear you love your new Corolla! Wish you many happy miles! -Honda Laura
Reptar it is lol... Its basically the 2012 Civic
Rebeca Witter another plus is that the corolla is built In canada just don't get the 2020 corolla you'll see why
Heyu Yoma - 2016* Not 2006. ;-)
I just bought a 2016 Toyota Corolla LE Plus I absolutely love it and Corolla are super reliable.
Hey Troy! Congrats on your new car! -Honda Laura
Civic all day er day er day.
Great review!
is it a coincidence that your first name is "Honda"? ;) LOL
BTW - too bad that this Honda Civic is not marketed in other countries, only in the USA :(
Thanks for sharing Ofri ;)) Honda Laura
I have a '94 corolla..still runs great to this day!
Corolla FTW
But I have to give it to you. That Civic is better than that Corolla..more fuel efficient, great interior and better looking, especially the tail lights. These two just take turns every year. Thanks for your video.
Dupree Johnson How many miles are on your 94’ Corolla?!
civic is dominatin than corolla...and as always nice review laura, one request use a rayban shades on your next review :)

$25k 2014 Lexus IS250 with 20k miles or the Civic Touring $25k...Which would you buy?????
Thanks
civic
lexus!!
civic

Does the civic includes you Laura? If so Im buying it asap hahaha
+Erick Rodriguez lol
which model is this ....does the 2.0model feel underpower ...than the 1.5 turbo..whats the main difference..thank you
Hey Aneeq, this is the 2.0L EX trim level. There are noticeable differences of driving impressions between the turbo and non-turbo models, a 16 Horsepower differnce. -Honda Laura
Toyota is the new granny's car, get that shit out of here. Their entire lineup look hideous. This Corolla doesn't stand a chance to the new Civic.
I don't know what Toyota is thinking, they've stuck with the ugly streak for a good 5 years now.
If it isn't Lexus, keep looking.
+vh9network Amen!
*****
number 1 in what? Do you believe the Toyota Corolla looks better here in this comparison video?
*****
LOL. Nobody is talking about the Focus, Cobalt and Dart.
The New Civic shits on this Corolla.
*****
So does Justin Bieber albums, they both are still hideous.
*****
Yes, more grannies prefer the Toyota Corolla over the Honda Civic.
A good point I'd like to make is that the Corolla Sport model you had is the upgrade package. While the Honda was the EX? Or LX? Either way you had a lower base model with the Civic versus the Corolla midrange Sport model which was only 300 more. Civics typically are a fee thousand more than the Corolla. Personally Honda transmission are very very weak, compared to their engines. They also have that heavy body sway feel that the Corolla does not have. But to me, the Corolla is still sturdy, and holds its own without being hard to drive
I love your skirts, forget the cars :)
+gloin34 lol ;)) Honda Laura
Does this have LED front and rear lights?
Yes the civic has LED daytime running lights and LED break lights - Honda Laura
Thanks...
i don't like the back of the civic
+jin5632 me neither
+jin5632 me neither
+jin5632 Omg me too its ugly
+jin5632 Yeah it is bad. That is the one reason I am thinking about going with the Toyota
+Amber Hargreaves Go for Toyota cars as they r more experienced about cars ...
Toyota has been making cars from like past 64 years So u can choose which is better ...
Part of the reason I am partial to Mazda right now is that they are sticking to naturally aspirated engines w/ 6 speed auto or manual transmissions. If tuned correctly, a NA engine w/ cogged tranny will feel more connected as far as engine feel goes (subjective, of course). Personally, I have not driven the new civic yet, but if it is anything like the other sedans with CVT's on the market, it just will not jive with me.
My BIGGEST concern with CVT transmissions is that they try to compensate for engines losing power over time by revving higher. That means over time, a CVT will start feeling like a rubber band. A basic cogged transmission doesn't feel like this.
Of course, it is possible that has changed with the new Civic. I guess only time will tell.
+Mad Pistol You can get the civic in a manual.
the new cx9 is 2.5l turbo
I sat in the Mazda 3 yesterday and it's not as comfortable. Especially the back seat! When you close the door, it makes this loud annoying noise. I didn't test drive it though.
I actually find the front seats of the 3 to be very comfortable, but the backseat is a little cramped. Different strokes for different folks.
+Mad Pistol Yeah, I'm looking to find a car for my mom. The 3 also doesn't look up to date on the dash. Also, the plastic didn't seem so great. Plus, the middle mirror is too low that covers the front visibility.
Toyota is more experienced than Honda. Why don't u compare Honda Pilot 2016 3.5 with Toyota Land Cruiser 2016 5.7 ..
we will get to know which company is better ....
Toyota has been making cars from last 64 years it knows what's best for the driver as well as passengers . So pls do think about comparing these two cars, companies...
Land Cruiser is not Pilot's competitor, Highlander is. And 2016 Pilot is a winner according to reviewers. You can check autoguide.com in youtube.
+Tofael Tohin hell Nah, The Engine Is the Big Thing In the Car! I mean, Wtf? The Engine In Toyota Is Way Better Than Pilot, Soo
+Santos Rios Man, not gonna argue for no reason. My dad is driving a 2002 Odyssey with 204k mileage on it. The engine is still very very smooth. He did not run in any problem with its engine. So please, don't talk blindly. Btw, new Pilot beats the High Lander in every angle. Check the reviews.
+Tofael Tohin lol
+Tofael Tohin even my dad has a 1998 toyota Tacoma and it has 408k, and it has no single problem
you went in that red 2015 toyota corolla s and you said that the seats were comfortable right? and on the 2016 corolla s you said the seats were hard the seats on the 2015 and 2016 are the same.
i have Honda accord 2016 model .Do you marry me ?
;) Honda Laura
:)
Toyota Corolla it still the best ever from year model 1980-2017 has in my family members using Toyota Corolla for over 50 years we trusted, then now I bought new my very first new car Toyota Corolla XSE last week that's my reward when I did past my road test! Honda Civic it is stylish and modern. 🚗😎😀
In my opinion Corolla looks impressive while Civic looks Cheap.
Great feedback Muhammad, thanks for sharing. ;) Honda Laura
What is the name of your country?
I see the civic also has heated mirrors from your center console shots. Nice thing about Hondas is that their trim levels dictate the option packages. Ex civic will always have a sunroof. Optional on Corolla. And so it goes with other options.
honda talking about handa😂
is the ex-t the same as this with just the turbo engine? or is there extra features aside from the engine
Luke Hoisington it got fog light and dual zone climate controle
the girl did a terrible job in this video. obviously she works for Honda or at least was doing this for Honda but she forgot to mention that the corolla while it may not be as fancy as the civic is in fact the number 1 selling car in america. civic wasn't even in the top 10. in fact Honda didn't even get 1 car in the top 10.
Jason, she literally starts the video by telling you that her name is Honda Laura. And you're surprised she is biased towards Honda? Did you think that was her real name? Did you not notice that she posted it on the official account of a Honda dealer?
As for your 'facts' it is the Toyota Camry that is the best selling car in America, not the Corolla. And as a guy that drives a rental car almost every week for work, I can tell you that America gets it wrong. The Camry is a boring piece of shit, with a horrific interior. Terrible gauges, and is as inspiring as eating cold dried toast.
They sell a lot of Crocs too in America, but it doesn't mean I'd be buying a pair any time soon.
Among compact cars, Corolla and Civic routinely battle for top spot although clearly Civic did get a bit boring in the last refresh, which they have certainly addressed in their 10th generation.
I'm not a Honda fan at all, the closest I've come to owning one was a new Acura TL a few years ago. But I am considering a Civic to commute to the airport.
One of my friends once bought a new Corolla, and it had this weird smell to it. We returned it to the dealer, and they said, "Yeah it does that, kind of like rotting eggs. But don't worry, that clears up by 10K miles!" I kid you not.
Obvious for Honda Laura!
jason sims The Honda dealer told me that the Civic won Car of the Year
ZCT808 lol people used to tell me that Toyota's exhaust does smell like rotten eggs. When I smell something funny sometimes there is a Toyota in front of me. My mom and sister drives Toyota's and they hate when I tell them that. It's funny that you wrote that.
ZCT808 her name is Honda Laura but she actually works for a Honda dealership
Please compare VW Jetta 1.8 or 1.4 TSI and Mazda with the Honda Civic
Driven all three and the civic is the best bang for your buck
+David Payne Thanks for sharing David.... :)) Honda Laura
+scorpionbeware We will add to list, thanks for sharing. :)) Honda Laura
OMG. there is no comparison. The Civic is worlds better on every level, except rear legroom. I would never even consider the Corolla.
