That's exactly why I said you should congratulate yourself for letting us know you've arrived.

Again if this is arrival to you, then you didn't get the memo!

I am no where near my mid point yet... So arrival is a far flung destination that God keeping us alive we shall get there.

Now can we get back to putting in the work!

Honda of all models pull legs, SIMPLE!
did you finish your secondary school? You'd need a refund if yes..


I've seen a Mercedes benz pull its legs before. Does that mean Mercedes cars always pull legs? Nah.

Stop trying to hard to sound like a blown out clown would you?

Following your logic, all Toyota cars pull legs as depicted in the pictures..

How did you know the civic was a case of ball joint?


Bc Ball joint issue is peculiar to Honda due to the technology they adapted in their front wheel suspension

Why are you like this?

You have been told repeatedly that that design and failure is only perculiar to the accord.

Bro, I have used the 09 Honda Civic American Spec for over 2 years now, never have i experienced this leg issues you are talking about. You cld say so for the older Honda series.

And how is the maintenance cost
Re: As A First Time Car Owner, Toyota Corolla 2010 Or Honda Civic 2011? by McLizbae: 1:52pm On Apr 03, 2022
OP avoid 08-10 corolla, if you don't like 06/07, just go to sugar light 2011 to 2013.

08-10 are more prone to engine issues than it's formers and latter.

All those advising you to buy Honda are just doing so out of sentiment.

Pray your car doesn't pull leg in the middle of the road causing obstruction, while passersby drivers curse you for causing gridlock.

Pray this Honda doesn't pull leg as you are on 120km/hr. I used Honda crv and I know what I suffered with the legs, and steering pump pulley. I sold the Damn car and got myself corolla. I have been driving with peace of mind.

Wake me at midnight, I can drive to Lagos without fear unlike when I was using Honda.

The only advantage of Honda is cool interior. Finish

Both are good. But Go for anything Toyota before Honda.
totally disagree with this opinion, it depends on the car model year,NOT every Toyota is better than Honda.. Far from it,I own a corolla also.

Be sure of the civic you are referring to because I think the 2010 corolla is a step above the 2011 i-robot civic but the next generation 2012 civic is a fine choice. It's more official and I'd prefer that 2012 civic to the facelifted 2011 corolla model even still.

I have used both cars, so will advise you based on my personal experience and technical facts:

CIVIC VS COROLLA (I'm indicating my opinion on the better choice for each parameter)

CIVIC
1. Engine reliability (slightly)
2. Less likely to be stolen
3. Interior aesthetics
4. Fuel economy (slightly)
5. Passenger comfort
6. High-tech features
7. Acceleration response (slightly)
8. Steering response
9. Net engine power (slightly, @ 140 vs 132 horsepower)
10. Engine quietness


COROLLA
1. Overall ease of maintenance
(slightly)
2. Ground clearance
3. Cost of non-routine parts
4. Availability of parts
5. Overall ruggedness
6. Second hand value
7. Availability of sound mechanics (slightly)
8. Overall safety (slightly)
9. Passenger cabin space (slightly)
10. Cargo space (slightly)

MY ADVICE:
For private use go for the Civic; for commercial use go for the Corolla.

Honda Civic does not have the joint issues common to Honda cars. Especially the ones from 2002 upward. Both cars are almost the same in terms of efficiency, let your taste and/or picket decide for you but they are both good cars

If you go for the Toyota, that will be good thinking, you will get good product. You will hold your peace, I personally do Toyota. Maintenance costs, very reasonable. You are welcome.
