This matter is always a debate o. Corolla vs civic. Camry vs accord. I think it's really a matter of preference. U can't go wrong with either. Go with whichever u like more than the other. U'll get similar fuel economy and reliability from both. The corolla may be slightly cheaper to maintain. While the civic is more classy and generally more fun to drive. I'll suggest you try to drive both (if you can). The choice would be much easier thereafter. 12 Likes |

Truth is both are great cars. You'll not regret buying either. There is a preference for Toyota in Nigeria, but I love Honda, especially the civic family. 2 Likes |

have driven the two and I will go for the corolla. The civic is fun to drive and its got class but the corolla is rugged, agile, quick, reliable and cheap to run. Been using corolla for Uber for about 10 months now no major issue the only alternative I will recommend is another corolla |
Re: First Car: Civic2008 Vs Corolla 2008 Which Is better by gloryz24: 10:45am On Oct 11, 2016 |
Both are good but I personally prefer the Corolla. It's slightly larger and nicer car. |

eghuan1:hmmn.... quick kwa? they should be same or civic might have a slight edge. |
Re: First Car: Civic2008 Vs Corolla 2008 Which Is better by eghuan1(m): 5:48am On Oct 12, 2016 |
mejai: what I said was that the corolla is fast, I have gone 210km/hr in a 2008 model. I was not doing a comparison |
Re: First Car: Civic2008 Vs Corolla 2008 Which Is better by mejai(m): 5:58am On Oct 12, 2016 |

eghuan1:Corolla faster than a Civic? Guy! Bone yarns, that Corolla is a drag and a big bore. I'm sure it took almost forever and a long stretch of good road with almost no traffic for you to achieve that. The Civic will do it in a far shorter time, distance and a lower RPM. A trial, they say... I don't know what it is, but I feel the Corolla is over rated. It is boring to drive, slower than the Civic in terms of acceleration and take-off, the interior is as bland as they come with poorer quality materials than the Civic, if you want to talk of durability, well, just understand that the body panels fall off at will... As for the Civic, it looks compact outside, but is far more roomier than its look, the interior is more chic and fascinating and built of higher quality materials than that of the Corolla, it is fast from take-off, swifter, sharper and has far better acceleration than the Corolla, it has a smoother drive quality and handles better than the Corolla. The Civic look fragile, but the body panels are firmer and of higher quality than that of the Corolla. If its about the AC, the Corolla doesn't stand a chance near the Civic. I didn't talk about fuel economy, abuse and maintenance costs, because it is difficult to draw a different line for any of them I have driven both cars, I own a 2010 Civic, while my office and landlady both have 2010 Corollas. For me, I'll do the Civic over and over again, instead of the Corolla. If you have driven the Civic before the Corolla, it'll be like a downgrade when you drive the Corolla, even as both cars are 'age mates'. But, well it is a Nigerian thing, they'll rate the Corolla even with all its drawbacks over the Civic, just because it is a Toyota. What do I know anyway? that's Naija for you.

FlyboyZee: Thank you for the analysis. If you read my post you will see the word I used is "FAST" and not faster. I explicitly stated that I was not doing a comparison of the two cars. My brother owned a 2008 civic and I currently drive an 08 corolla, I love the two cars but if asked to choose, I will still go for a corolla. I just love the ruggedness of the car. Just the same way I will always pick a BMW over a BENZ. its just a choice. |

eghuan1:I actually agreed with you, that it is truly a matter of choice... You can see from my closing phrase below FlyboyZee:that I really agreed its a matter of choice, that's why I elucidated the strengths and weaknesses of both cars that I have first hand experience on and left the choosing decision for the OP... 2 Likes |
