I quoted your post where you suggested a comparison between two vehicles, to point out an obvious flaw.

As for that clown that claims to have owned every Marque under the sun, every now and then it's important to put empty headed noisemakers like that in their place.

His wings have been clipped, his madness go reduce small for now.

Your assumptions are shallow.

678/60=11.3km/l=26.58mpg

First off, a 2004 Honda Civic has better fuel economy so will do this trip with less fuel. Will it be king if it does?

26.5mpg on a highway on a Corolla is poor, I was expecting like 30mpg considering it is rated 34-36mpg highway. With our bad fuel, bad roads and loading, 30mpg is more appropriate.

The worst I get on my 2003 Honda accord is 24mpg.

24mpg=10.2km/l
678/10.2=66.5l

That means at worst case I will use 6.5l more which translates to N929.50k.

The average cost of buying a 2004 Corolla is 300k more. If say we both go to PH and back once a month that will be 2k times 12=24k/year
300k/24=12½yrs

What I lost in fuel economy is gained in cost price. I also gained in performance. On reliability, that is another subject for another thread.

It still boils down to preference.
Thanks for this explanation, I have used Honda element and planning to get a 2008 civic. What do you think? My primary reason for choosing civic is because generally, Hondas are better built than toyotas and I love the fuel gauge in the civic.

I have Honda civic and corolla base matrix, these are my experiences

Toyota is more durable though Honda is close too...

Honda have more sensors and electrical failures than corolla, but if you have a scanner and you understand how to use it, then you are good to go with less wasteful trial and error from mechanic

Transmission of corolla is more rugged and less sensitive, if you use any how gear oil on civic it can parkup.

Civic power steering system develop leak and fault more than corolla

Corolla have better ride height,

Civic is cheaper to maintain

Civic is faster not sluggish at all

Civic is more balance in drive

Both engine are rugged, but please don't let your civic overheat too much once. Sensitive to overheat

I believe civil should be cheaper because Toyota corrola 2003-2007 engine is about 320k. Gear box 180k etc.

Honda civil engine is about 150k, gear box 120k

Other parts could follow suit

My personal experience

Gear- corolla
Engine-civic
Performance-civic
Easier to fix-corolla
Better security-civic
Better resale value-corolla
Less cost of maintainace-civic
Fuel economy-civic
Like I've always said in all my post,they are both awesome cars,it depends on one's preference in a car.

Edmund's review and from experience I agree with their review.

Honda civic is worse almost all the important components are located in treacherous places that can be affected in potholes.... Hence traveling with a Civic is a dangerous game.... Corolla brakes are also nothing to write home about....
