I also believe servicing costs a somewhat higher for Hondas than they are for Toyotas, but the lower hybrid fuel cost alone is already more than enough reason for taxi companies to go with Toyotas over Honda.

I absolutely think the current gen Civic hybrid is the far superior car over the current gen Corolla (hybrid). But the Civic hybrid is also quite a bit more expensive than the Corolla hybrid. A similar price gap applies to the Camry (hybrid) vs the Accord (hybrid). So costs alone is the sole reason why taxi companies choose Toyota over Honda.

fine, so what?

ND miata was smaller than NC and everyone lapped that shit up. Why do these sub compact cars need to be the size of an 06 accord/camry? who asked for this bs? why do i want a mid sized corolla.

Either way i want 1) cheap 2) reliable 3) safety junk.

corolla fills these 3 points better than the civic. Thats why those taxi fucks keep driving the corollas instead of civics. For majority of the people who buy these things, all it matters is reliability and price point.



Thats because everything toyota made past the 2020's have been an exercise in cost cutting and self destruction. They are coasting on their perceived reliability now. I looked at a brand new sienna a few months ago and that interior was so plasticky, i think lego would have rejected it.

Driven both, the modern Civic is certainly a better and more appealing car than the modern Corolla.

I'd say most say the same.
