hi folks,i recently test drove both the 08 civic lx coupe with auto and a 09 corolla with auto...the corolla i test drove was not what i was hopeing for...on the highway it got blown all over the place by trucks passing me and by the wind...i constantly had to fight the steering wheel to keep the car tracking straight ahead whenever a gust of wind was blowing.....i found this annoying since a good portion of my driveing will be done on the highway.....this corolla test drive was over for me permently....i then drove about 2 miles to the honda dealer to check out the civic...what a difference,first off on the highway the civic was well planted to the pavement and did not get blown around like the corolla did....the corolla just felt so inferior to the civic as far as quality of the interior,controls,and handling goes... the civic to me just seems like a much better built car than the corolla...on top of everything else that i didn't like about the corolla was the additional adjusted market value of 1995.00 which is added to the msrp which for a basic corolla with no options came close to 20,000.00.........this was absurd....needless to say,i purchased a 08 civic lx 2dr coupe with auto for 17,000.00 plus TTT..... |

Replying to: backy (May 11, 2008 8:57 am) The other problem is major: it barely gets 30 MPG. The Elantra beats it by 3 MPG, and is fairly close to the same weight (Under 200 pound difference). The Cobalt with it's 2.2L engine, gets better MPGs (along with more HP and torque) and is 300 pounds heavier. Hmm, maybe Suzuki should think about sourcing GM's 2.2L instead of using their own mill. Because that Cobalt beats the Suzuki in a 0-60 run, despite the Cobalt being 300 pounds heavier. Of course, at this point we're starting to get a bit off topic.
