this is Honda civic too?

Ignorant albino hen

Every car is prone to pulling its legs if neglected for a long time, but saying Honda civic has a predominant history of pulling legs is a big lie.

I don't even do Japanese anymore, but when I did, Honda trumps Toyota in handling, engine and interior.

Toyota what?
Fvvk outta here

I can tell you that the cause of those toyota car leg shifting to one side isn't caused by ball joint, it's caused by unloose thyroid, it has happened to me and that's because my mechanic didn't tighten the thyroid properly...

Do Toyota Corolla and save yourself the unplanned bolt joint/front wheel wahala that Honda Civic is notorious for.

Toyota Corolla has lower maintenance cost and has great third/forth hand reseller value should you want to sell.
Sometimes if someone ask for advice and you are not knowledgeable enough, don't give. Who told you civilc pulls leg. You even have the guts to brand it notorious. Civic doesn't pull leg at all, accord of lower models are the ones you are referring to

Pls get the Civic
You will have rest of mind, Corolla nowadays shorten oil and that kills engine faster, but you see Honda engine, even if it shorts oil to the low level, you can still use same engine for many months before you change the engine.

The only disadvantage I see in Honda to all Toyota product is coding, Honda can easily enter code if you are not careful like leaving the keys at the ignition mouth and removing the battery contact, that will make the car enter code and you will need programmer to re program it before it can start.

Other things, Honda is far better, Honda has finer interior.

I’m sorry? Which civic is notorious for ball joint pull issue? Are you sure you know anything about owning a Honda Civic 2005 upwards? In my long term ownership of a 2007, not one day did that ball joint pull because Honda already corrected that flaw. Make una no de yarn dust

Okay thank you all for the response , my issue is a lot of people say honda is prone to leg issues and one need to focus on having a Honda specialist as a mechanic , however thank you all for the contribution
all vehicles are "prone to leg issues" for Nigeria road. You just have to learn to navigate the roads for longevity. No car manufacturer produce a car with Nigeria road in mind.

I won't say much so I don't sound like a fanboy. If you want to know what to buy; just look at the data (market share) for both cars in our unique region (Nigeria). There is a reason we have more Toyota Corollas per square meter and less Honda Civics on the road. THE MARKET DOES NOT LIE!!

OP look or listen no further. Wisdom is profitable to direct. Best response to your question.

Wrong Bro

The only advantage the Corolla has over the Civic is the ability to withstand scratches and bullies on its body, that's why it's rugged and good for Bolt

The Civic has cheaper engine and cheaper parts

With Civic, you're guaranteed to get a tokunbo engine, but Corolla engine tokunbo are scarce, most of the engine's are either reworked or outrightly ringged

If you're paying 3.5 million for the Corolla 2010 and am paying 2.5 million for Civic 2011

Note am buying the more recent

If you're selling your Corolla after 3 years for 2.2 million and am selling my Civic after 3 years for 1.2 how the hell should you call that better second hand value when clearly the Corolla was costlier and we're both running at loss of 1.3 million each?

My brother always complain about his Corolla S

You have given an honest opinion
buygala:


Go for the Civic jejely... It has same or even better economy than the Corolla.. And its maintenance is also more pocket friendly than the Corolla.. It also doesn't have the leg pulling issues that plague earlier Hondas, because it has a totally different suspension system from those other Hondas..

And best of all, it's not a thief magnet like the Corolla smiley

I repeat, Go for the Civic before boys kill you saraa ontop nonsense Corolla

If you'd drive more on rough roads or travel long distances
I don't think Corolla is a better buy

But, OP, I believe both cars are not really different in terms of fuel economy and maintenance. The only downfall of the corrola is that, it attracts thieves.

Be careful ooo
what do you think of Lexus IS250 when put side-by-side with this 2?
