Dang these guys really hate how the Civic looks huh
If I was buying one of these today, I would get the Corolla because it has a naturally aspirated engine and port injection and the air conditioning system probably lasts longer than the Civic's does, but I prefer the Civic's looks because it's wheelbase is wider and it sits lower. The front and back views just give the appearance of stability.

Looks are so subjective. IMO, the corolla still looks like it was built in the 2004. Frumpy, stale. There's nothing fresh about it. The 10th gen Civic was radically different from the previous generations and still looks good. I couldn't tell apart a corolla made in the early 2000s to now.

Surprisingly, I think they did a good job on the hatch.

There's no way you can't tell a 2004 Corolla from a 2020 Corolla bro...

I agree with them that the corolla is a better looking car. However the infotainment while being better (aside from note Android auto) I think looks much worse, I can't stand these vehicles with infotainment that looks like it was just an after thought tacked on. It looks like you stuck a tablet to your dash which looks cheap imo.

The looks of the Corolla hatch fall into the toilet once you reach the back end and see the fake exhaust tips. If it wasn't for those tips, I may have tried to save some money and go with the Corolla hatch.

The Corolla hatch is tiny compared to the Civic. I tried to get in the back seat and quit right away because even if I could have gotten back there it would have been like my old Prelude or Mazda RX7 2+2 for rear seat room! And the drivers seat also was shallow on space.

To be honest, the Civic is kind of large for a compact vehicle.

True but the Corolla sedan has more back seat room also. I just couldn't find a Corolla sedan with manual and was saying that the Corolla hatch is too small for my desires.

Those may be something you might have to special order if you really wanted one. The sedan is offered in a manual. I'm honestly surprised that the sedan has more leg room than the hatch. Granted the Corolla hatch is known for having issues with rear legroom.

I don't believe that I could order any car without having driven one first to know what the manual transmission would feel like in a particular model. Meaning, I might buy another if I had owned one prior but not otherwise without a test drive. I know that I was really pleased with my 2020 SI sedan test drive!
