2237.0. "Corolla or Civic" by ESSB::JMURPHY (Mujaheddin Qandahar-e) Mon Mar 14 1994 11:09

    
    My dad is wondering about buying a new 1.3 corolla or a new 1.3 honda 
    civic. Not being a car buff (I'm into jeeps myself), what would the 
    folks in this conference reckon is the best buy?

	I have various Civic for the last 5 years or so and (touch wood) none of them have ever broken down also they just don't depreciate�. On the -ve side insurance is high (except from HondaCare), services are costly and if it goes wrong - well you better have an ample supple of arms and legs. The rear seat / leg room is to my mind cramped (But better that a 3 series BMW !) also the boot is small - but the rear seats do fold. The engine is a gem - nice and docile at low revs but really wakes up above 6000. I would recommend a Civic to anyone. Rik � My current, 4 year old, Civic is worth 65% of its new value - but it is low mileage.
