#1 of 17 2006 Honda Civic vs. Toyota Yaris by pkp Dec 10, 2005 (8:27 pm)
What is better 2006 Honda Civic or Toyota Yaris? Toyota has an excellent reliability and a proven 1.5L engine used in previous generation of Echo, it is also cheaper – only 16K Canadian on the road. On the other hand redesigned Civic ($20K) uses brand new 1.8L motor and lots of electronics. So far it’s difficult to say how reliable the Honda will be.

Replying to: pkp (Dec 10, 2005 8:27 pm) Perhaps the Toyota Yaris would be better compared to the Honda Fit? Similar in price, engine, size to the Yaris...the Civic is best left with the Corolla.   thegrad Replies to this message: tygger (Apr 21, 2006 3:39 am) thegraduate (Apr 21, 2006 7:04 am) rick119 (Jul 16, 2008 3:59 pm)

Replying to: thegraduate (Dec 10, 2005 8:49 pm) I was almost definite I was going to get a Yaris base sedan, automatic trans, w/ cold weather and power package. Price before taxes, tags and processing fee come to about $15,000-15,250 (quoted by dealers).   I then priced out a Civic LX sedan w/ no options and price comes to aboiut $17,000-17,500 according to Edmund's TMV pricing.   So for about $2000 more, you get side curtain airbags and a bigger and more powerful 1.8ltr 140hp engine that is listed to get 30 mpg city and 40 hwy.   I'm still doing research, but now I think Im leaning towards the civic...   Any comments???

Replying to: tygger (Apr 21, 2006 3:39 am) Both of these cars will likely give you years of excellent service, so I think it just comes down to personal preference for you. I'm a Honda guy, and would get the Civic; but it's not my money being spent here!
#5 of 17 Wrong by dimitri0917 Apr 21, 2006 (12:20 pm)
This comparison is so wrong. The Civic is way out of the Yaris' league. They are two different cars in two different classes. With this generation, Honda is making the Civic an almost midsize compact. The Yaris is and always will be a subcompact. Also the prices are different. Civic has definitely gown out of its entry level roots. Unfair for Yaris. Put it next to Aveo, Elantra, Fit, anything besides (ivi) Replies to this message: tygger (Apr 21, 2006 2:18 pm) beantown (Apr 24, 2006 10:49 am)

Replying to: dimitri0917 (Apr 21, 2006 12:20 pm) I'm not saying its a fair comparison, but going purely based on money, a basic Civic LX is only about $2,000 more than a comparably equiped Yaris base.   But for the $2000 extra buying the Civic, you also get more engine, side airbags and a bit more "car".

I have sat in both including the fit.   Here is the breakdown taking into account everything including price.   #1 CIVIC LX #2 FIT SPORT #3 YARIS Replies to this message: solarjeep (May 25, 2006 8:06 am) tygger (May 25, 2006 8:42 am) midnightcowboy (May 25, 2006 9:36 am) and 1 more...

Replying to: dimitri0917 (Apr 21, 2006 12:20 pm) "The Yaris is and always will be a subcompact."   I'm not so sure. The Yaris hatchback may be considered a subcompact, but the current Yaris sedan is pretty much identical in size to the '93-'97 Corolla, which is in the compact class.   I do agree, though, that comparing the Yaris to the Civic is a big mistake. They are two completely different classes of auto. Comparing them is the equivalent of comparing a Corolla to an Accord.
#9 of 17 yaris vs. corolla by mortomozoid Apr 24, 2006 (3:56 pm)
would the japan built yaris be better than the canada built corolla in terms of quality? are the engines the same basic design but the corollas bored out a bit? and could someone explain to me how variable valve timing actually works?

Replying to: kero1 (Apr 23, 2006 4:17 pm) Odd. The Yaris is the cheapest. They all roll forward and back and turn.   #1 YARIS #2 Anything else. #3 Yaris Rules! Replies to this message: tygger (May 25, 2006 8:42 am) midnightcowboy (May 25, 2006 9:36 am) slowpedaler (May 25, 2006 12:13 pm)
