PRICE AND VALUE

Part of making a car attractive to a buyer is its price, which is why the Toyota Corolla is so much better looking than a Honda Civic! Everyone likes saving a few bucks, but you'll save $1500 smackers when you go with a Corolla instead of the Civic -- and keep in mind, that's before we offer you an even deeper discount on the Corolla at Lakeland Toyota! And though these two heady rivals have been duking it out for decades and are neck and neck in many ways, the 2016 Toyota Corolla pulls way out in front of the Honda Civic with its incredible 2-year/25,000-mile ToyotaCare plan, which will save you hundreds more dollars in maintenance costs!

ENGINE

You might not expect a compact sedan to have more than one powertrain option, but the 2016 Toyota Corolla proves that theory wrong. You can choose from two engines in the Corolla -- a 1.8L 4-cylinder which pumps out 132 horses of power or a 1.8L Valvematic 4-cylinder boasting 140 horses, betrothed to a six-speed manual, 4-speed automatic or CVT transmission, depending on the model. You're limited to only one engine on the Civic -- a 1.8L I-4 with 143 horses mated to a 5-speed manual or CVT automatic. With only a hair of a horse difference in the power of the standard engines and more engine and transmission options, the versatile 2016 Toyota Corolla takes this crown.

CARGO SPACE/REAR PASSENGER COMFORT

When you're on the lot at Lakeland Toyota and ogling at the beauty of a 2016 Toyota Corolla, you might not think about the trunk space available, but you won't have to because you'll have more room in the Corolla than the Civic. The Corolla provides you with 13 cubic feet of trunk volume while the Civic falls short at only 12.5 cubic feet. And your backseat riders in the 2016 Toyota Corolla will have more room to recline with 41.4 inches of rear legroom vs. the tight 36.2 inches the Civic offers up.
