Driven both, the modern Civic is certainly a better and more appealing car than the modern Corolla.
I'd say most say the same.

The last time I got a Nissan Sentra rental, while taking the ramp from the Gardiner Expressway onto the DVP northbound, the steering wheel decided to shake violently left and right out of nowhere. I seriously thought I was going to die.
We're all so old here that I'm 100% sure you were just wandering out of your lane. The car's Lane Keep Assist was just trying to keep you alive as you fought with it.

Made me laugh. Thanked.
DVP so mainstream, I take the Bayview exit and head towards my destination using the side streets.
Re: The Sentra did not have lane assist. It was a bare-bones base model where lane assist wasn't even a thing on Nissans yet. The steering wheel literally went bonkers. When I told the manager at Enterprise, he said to me, "yeah it happens sometimes. Not sure why." And that was that.
Cost is the biggest factor why taxi companies favour Toyotas over Hondas. Until the current generation of Civic hybrids, Toyota hybrids have significantly lower operating costs than any similar Honda could offer. Not only are fuel costs significantly lower, brake costs are also significantly lower (bcos of regenerative braking). 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.
The CRV is cooked, it’s nowhere near 5k better or bigger than the RAV to be worth it.
OTOH the Civic fits the rear facing child seat, 4 passengers, or a stroller a lot better … that 2k gap is gonna make sense to most buyers.
Most ppl aren’t thinking like taxi drivers: only 4 things rly matter for econobox
- do I think it’s reliable
- does it fit my people and my shit incl my phone
- does the payment fit my budget
- is it good on gas (K20 11th gets 6L/100km in asshole nyc driving, good enuf)
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.
Not enuf taxi fucks in Canada, civic outsells Corolla by 25%
In USA they’re within 5% of each other, 240-250k units a year

Fuck you Honda retards. You fart can riding, low displacement, never made a consumer v8 or higher cylinder count trash ass company full of wankers. Eat a whole bag of dicks!
When I told the manager at Enterprise, he said to me, "yeah it happens sometimes. Not sure why."
That's literally word for word what a worker at Enterprise once said to me as well, except in my case, it was in response to me finding half a dozen loose rounds of .380 auto in my rental car. It was Florida though, so I wasn't exactly *that* surprised.
They did upgrade us and credited 5 days for a weeklong rental, so that worked out.
