Honda Civic ESI or a Corolla GLI? Which one is better?

[archangel_317]

I'm about to buy a 2nd hand car......

And I've narrowed down my choices to 2 models

A Honda Civic ESI or a Toyota Corolla GLI

In terms of PERFORMANCE, FUEL EFFICIENCY, PARTS AVAILABILITY and MAINTENANCE COSTS ETC.

Which one is the better car?

I need your opinions on this matter guys

Any opinion from you guys will be greatly appreciated and considered as an expert's advice

Both are great vehicles and I own one of them -, the Corolla.

In terms of aftermarket parts, the Civic has an advantage of this. Why ? It's easy to dress up and aesthetic mods are everywhere ... BUT, the corolla has also lots of aftermarket parts out there, only less than the Civic ... well for me, I haven't experience any hardships in looking for aesthetic mods for my 101 ( except for the friggin' euro parts. )

Anyways regards on the performance both are almost equal, well stock vs. stock. ;) If modded, well it depends on the modifications done on the engine. :hihihi:

Parts availability wont be a problem for both. They're everywhere.

Maintenance Costs. I spend like 2-3k every 6 months for my Corolla. Dunno with the Civic tho'.


To wrap it up it's like this.

Either of the 2 you buy, there won't be any regrets in your part since both are known to be strong vehicles.

goodluck.

Up +100. renzo_d10's got the corolla. I used to own a Civic ESi.

What he said above was true.

You are now choosing between arguably the greatest ever Japanese compact sedan rivalry.

Either one of them is a great choice.

It's like choosing between a Mustang and a Camaro. Then forget about the other ponies.

I think we're talking here of a budget between 140K to 170K pesos.
Go for the car that you think was maintaned very well by the seller.

Well, depends kung pano inalagaan nung dating may-ari yung car.

Depende din kung kanino mas palagay yung emotion mo ...

I would rather have a very well-maintaned Nissan Sentra than a Civic or a Corolla in very bad condition though ... (Forget about what I just said. I know Civic and Corolla lang pinag-uusapan dito...)
