2014 Toyota Corolla vs 2014 Honda Civic

The sedan industry has once again welcomed new winners into its roster of vehicle model selections with the arrival of the 2014 Toyota Corolla. Considering this has long been named as the top selling model among sedans, it is easy to see why plenty are interested in test driving the 2014 Corolla. For others, a comparison between the key competitors is a must; especially with the 2014 Honda Civic available in car dealers too. If ever you’re in the market for a new sedan, it’s time to assess each option carefully so you can come up with the right choice.

Fuel Economy

When it comes to the topic of fuel economy, the result is a tie between both the 2014 Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla. As they have been both rated with a combined city/highway mpg of 31*, there is no model in their segment that ranks higher than either of the two.

Comfort

Apart from these advances, the 2014 Toyota Corolla has a better front- and rear-seat legroom along with a larger trunk area. These features make the sedan a better pick for car drivers looking for a quality vehicle to use.

Safety

Unfortunately, the completely redesigned 2014 Toyota Corolla has not yet been tested by both the NHTSA and IIHS. For this reason, the Honda Civic scores a better reputation for its safety features as it has been given a 5-star overall crash test rating (NHTSA) and a Top Safety Pick + rating (IIHS). Until the Corolla gets tested, a biased analysis cannot be given yet.

Reliability

Both sedans have long established a following from its loyal clientele. A reason for doing this is because they have proven themselves time and time again. Comparing the two, however, the Corolla gets a higher score as it has performed a better result in J.D. Power and Consumer Reports surveys.

Technology

The Corolla comes with the newly updated Entune infotainment system offered on the Plus and Premium versions of different trim levels. While it comes as an added cost, it is still a better add-on compared to the Civic’s package.
