Would you trade you non-si civic for a corolla XRS?

dattebayo · 01-26-2008, 05:46 AM

I have to admit... Im in love

shawnono · 01-26-2008, 05:49 AM

not really into it.. haha

nayilsi · 01-26-2008, 05:50 AM

WTF THEY DO to the Camry man ???

dattebayo · 01-26-2008, 05:54 AM

one thing that I like with this one is that it looks like a baby camry. I love camry's.

It has a 2.4 liter engine and the price is equivalent than that of an EX civic.

no. Toyota has never been one to make a good drivers car, especially in their economy models. Honda/Acura has always been miles ahead of Toyota/Lexus in that department. they are soft, with loose vague steering, and lousy handling. sure sometims they have some good sporty/sports cars like the celica or mr2 or supra, but most of their cars make me want to shoot myself they are so drab and boring to drive.

not to mention, gone is the high revving 8400RPM 2ZZ, that made 180HP from 1.8, now you have a lazy camry 2.4 that makes 158HP. pass. ill take an R18 any day.

are you sure? because IIRC, corolla are generally just barley cheaper than an equivalant civic but do not include ABS and Side Curtain airbags in ANY of the trims, they are options. once you add those youre generally looking at ~$500 more than an equivalent civic. so unless the new XRS is cheaper than the current LE...no, its not the same price of an EX.

Im getting bored with my r18 because of the lack of a manual override or paddle shifters, but I still love my car. it's just that Im beginning to have some 2nd thoughts. I smell trade-in.

corollas suck when it comes to handling but their engines can always keep up with the civic. I dunno why but maybe because the engines are DOHC vs the civic's SOHC.

toyota for me is like a candy that really looks yummy as well as hondas. Sorry im not a fanboy here.

No thanks.

jennerz22 · 01-26-2008, 10:08 AM

no it looks like a baby camry.

***06NaviEX*** · 01-26-2008, 11:06 AM

I just wonder how the new Corollas drive. If it's anything like the previous generation, I would pass!

Now, if it handled and drove like my Civic EX, then it would be OK. I've just never been a fan of Toyota, all their cars have what I call "Granny Steering".

My wife just returned her '06 Corolla rental car, which I did drive once on a trip to her parents house. I told her, we get free mileage, lets not put them on the Civic. After about 20 min of driving I was kicking myself for not taking the Civic!

Medrivfast · 01-26-2008, 11:50 AM

They are boring on the inside. Toyota is putting that motor into everything.
Camry
Corrola
Matrix
Scion TC

Why don't don't you trade in for a Fit?

Hell fack no on the Toyota.

You're just bored with the automatic. Trade it for a Civic MT.

As for me, I would certainly need to drive it before making any rash descisions. I would like to feel how it handles and check out the interior. But going just on exterior looks I would keep my Civic.

***vtak07*** · 01-26-2008, 12:19 PM

haha hell no, i would run my si into that hunk of crap

No need to be so harsh to your Si.

***07LX*** · 01-26-2008, 02:30 PM

Give me the old XRS instead of that POS

***darna*** · 01-26-2008, 03:00 PM

i'm sure you already expected 99% of people who will respond here will say no, dont trade it in, xrs is fugly as hell, not enough hp, ugly inside and out. i'd rather drive my dx/lx/ex... for the simple reason that you are on a honda forum...

try posting the same on a toyota forum and 99% will say trade it in, civics are for ricers, they are slow and expensive, go get the xrs.

why dont you compare the car side by side and get some reviews for us or possibly test drive the xrs then post it here so we know which one is a better car.
