Civic is the better car overall. I own a Civic and my only gripe with it is its bad seats. Matigas and masakit sa pwet on a long drive.

V (CIVIC) vs G corolla both M/t?

Hmm... Let's see...

The Civic V has a 1.8L engine, while the Altis has 1.6. The former obviously has the edge in performance. In terms of fuel economy, they're almost similar, but in everyday traffic, the Altis might yield a 1-2 KM/L advantage.

The Civic has a more futuristic-looking exterior; the Altis has a more understated appearance. That's the same with the interior. The Civic is more spacious than the Altis, though the seats of the Altis are better.

The Civic has 4-wheel disc brakes; the Altis has rear drums.

The Civic has no airbags still; the Altis has one for the driver.

The Civic has no fog lamps; the Altis has.

They both have 15-inch wheels.

The Civic has conventional AC controls; the Altis has Auto Climate Control.

The Civic has no steering wheel controls; the Altis has, though it doesn't have an aux input for your mp3 player, something which the Civic has.

The Civic has fixed rear seats; the Altis has a 60:40 folding capability. In addition, it also has an extra glovebox.

In terms on maintenance, I think they will cost you almost the same in the long run. Although the Altis might be a bit cheaper in the end since most mechanical components are shared with the previous generation (not sure about this, though). Hence, parts might be easier to find and might also be a bit cheaper.

The Civic V M/T costs Php858,000, while the Corolla Altis G M/T costs Php833,000. A difference of Php25,000. IMO, the Altis seems the better value for money, but it really depends on what you're looking for in the car. If you value performance and a more exciting drive, the Civic is for you (just get the 'S' variant though, if possible). But if you want better comfort and more creature-features in an everyday car, the Altis might be the better choice.

Good luck, and hope this helps!

Corolla being cheaper... depends... some parts for the new Corollas are not so...

Some Civic parts might cost more, but regular PMS is cheaper for the Civic, with less downtime.

Civic has better steering, better engine response, better shifter (Corolla's is pretty rubbery), etcetera. Corolla has softer seats and ride. But Civic has more room and doesn't handle like a boat. And the Civic plastics are much better than the Corolla's.

Different strokes for different folks. Which one is best for you will depend on what you value. All I can say is... test-drive, test-drive, test-drive.

Have not read the full thread, but among this segment of cars ano yung may pinaka mataas na ground clearance? After owning an suv bihira ko na gamitin yung full stock honda city ko since iba iba ang standard ng humps sa cavite, madalas may 1 special na humps na ssayad ako whenever a go to any village/subd.

Planning to replace narin kasi yung 2010 city ko, and torn ako between this segment vs cuvs.
