The Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla are two of the most popular cars in America and Africa as a whole, the mechanical knowledge of the two has made them to me very popular being in the family of Honda and Toyota, and share much in common. As inexpensive entry-level options with a reputation for reliability, they are a major source of revenue for their respective Japanese automakers and a source of competition for car manufacturers. 2008 Honda Civic The 2008 Civic represents the eighth generation of Honda's popular compact model. It was available as a two-door coupe or four-door sedan, as well as a three- or five-door hatchback. Power was provided by a series of inline four-cylinder engines, with a gasoline-electric hybrid model also available. The 2008 Civic is avalable in different Trims, including the base DX trim, the mid-level EX and the sporty, top-of-the-line Si trim. Different body styles and trim levels came with either a five-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmission, with a continuously variable transmission standard on the Civic Hybrid. 2008 Toyota Corolla The 2008 Toyota Corolla was part of the Corolla's tenth generation. It was available only as a four-door sedan Available in three trim levels: CE, S and LE. Several four-cylinder engines were offered in the 2008 Corolla, along with a choice of transmissions that included a five- or six-speed manual, a four- or five-speed automatic, and a continuously variable transmission option. Similarities The 2008 Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla have much in common. Both are compact, Entry-level offerings from established Japanese brands. Both cars also use a traditional front engine/front-wheel drive configuration and an efficient four-cylinder engine. The Civic and Corolla are also comparable in terms of price, with base models starting at around $15,000. Both models also feature seating for five and relatively few standard convenience features. Key Differences One of the biggest differences between the 2008 Civic and Corolla is the availability of so many more versions of the Civic. With a two-door coupe available, along with two different hatchbacks, The Civic is a much more versatile vehicle. The Hybrid model offers drivers an inexpensive alternative to traditional gasoline-powered cars, and the Si sport models of the Civic are geared toward driving enthusiasts on a budget. With so many more models available, the Civic has a much broader range of pricing, topping out at nearly $30,000, while the most expensive Corolla model still has a base price in the $15,000 range. Comparison for Buyers For drivers who prefer a hybrid, coupe or hatchback, the 2008 Honda Civic is the clear choice. Comparing the base sedan models of both the Civic and Corolla, the differences are few. The Honda Civic has a slightly more powerful engine, BUT fuel efficiency lags several miles per gallon behind a Toyota Corolla with the same size (1.8 liter) engine. While the Civic lacks features such as anti-lock brakes and a front seat armrest, The Corolla does not have its available fog lights or satellite radio. The dash board for the Corolla is too boring compared to the dash for Civic that is a little busy. Resale value of the both seems to be similar. At the end of the day, what is important to you is all that counts. For more info and concerns or to even check out some great deals . . . . . . . . .Femmmy.moto@gmail.com 3 Likes |

wow, wat more can one add with this fat reply Femi just did, you covered everything bro, nothing more to say, o wait, there's one are you a fan of Vtec, or you are a fan of vvti the honda and their vtec system will generally generate up to 20hp more per litre of engine than toyota and their vvti, hence toyota will save you more fuel than honda, so if its more power u want out of a 1.8, the honda is yours if its slightly better fuel economy u want, the toyota is yours good thing now is that this honda even sports their intelligent-vtec system (more power)!!! 1 Like |

Honda is cheaper to maintain more so, it is more fuel efficient. Thanks to the 5 speed automatic gearbox as against the corolla traditional 4 speed automatic gearbox. Remember, both engine has a displacement of 1.8Litre. Handling: Honda wins Power: Honda wins Styling: Honda wins Fuel economy: Honda wins Realiability: Its a draw. Resale value: Toyota wins format9798: 5 Likes |
