    If I'll be the one who will buy a car, I'll definitely choose the honda civic over the toyota corolla because its body is more susceptible to beautification purposes. the civic, for instance, can be converted to look like a civic sir. I just don't know about the fuel consumption of the civic. But if you like the gli more, I can say that its fuel consumption is superb because our family had a corolla before.

    id say civic. we used to own a 93 corola gli. now my wife has a 96 civic vti. comparing the two, id say sobrang boring ng corola. masikip pa sa loob (backseat). im 5'10. when im driving the corolla before kawawa un mga pasahero ko sa likod. pero if im driving the civic, comportable un mga passengers ko sa likod. pyesa id say even... mas mahal konte ang civic parts pero it doesnt mean mahal nga ito. abot kaya paren. lalo na daming surplus parts or taiwan parts. or even oem parts.

    and sympre iba ang vtec engine (125hp) vs efi ng rola (110hp?)

    Some inputs:

    1. performance: low rpm - Gli, high rpm - Vti
    2. fuel consumption: Gli
    3. style: same (facelift Gli model na, while pre-facelift Vti model)
    4. safety: Gli - I know the '96 Gli has driver airbags na. Maybe ABS na rin ata though not sure. While the Vti has no airbags or ABS.
    5. rust resistance: Gli. '96 Vti have also shown rusting problems specifically at the rooftop.
    6. maintenance cost: Gli
    7. interior space: Vti
    8. riding comfort: Vti
    9. reliability: same
    10. resale value: same

    Good luck in your selection.

    I have owned both cars, the Corolla Gli stayed with me for 2 years, then upgraded to the Civic Vti.


    1. Performance - Civic takes my vote. Easy to handle and fun to drive.

    2. Fuel Consumption - a slight advantage to the Civic Vti.

    3. Style - Both cars are good after installing the proper kits. For me the Civic still is more "porma" than the Gli.

    4. Opinion - Depends on what you want for a ride. If I were to comment the Civic would be a better car, but the parts and maintenance the gli would have the advantage.

    Good luck on your selection.

    With regards to the rust or "bulutong" on the roof of Honda Vti's, mine has stayed with me for almost 9 years, and nothing like this occurred on the roof of my ride.
