For The Record

After a 2,022-mile round trip Tucson, AZ - Grapevine, TX, in an Enterprise Rent-A-Car Toyota Corolla LE (2018), one observation: without question, my 2012 (bought in December, 2011) Honda Civic is a much, much nicer automobile for my needs.  My Honda Civic gets significantly better mileage; my Honda Civic seems much more "solid," certainly quieter; my Honda Civic seems to be much more responsive. The dash and controls on the Honda Civic are much nicer. The "stick" for cruise control on the Toyota Corolla simply seemed weird.
  • 2018 Toyota Corolla LE, starting: $19,345
  • 2018 Honda Civic, starting:$18,840
