I'm planning to buy a car, which is better honda civic or hyundai santa fe, both 2011 model? Just new here in Qatar.
Could you pls give some feedback/reviews?
Both the Civic and Corolla base sedans seat up to five passengers in front bucket seats and a rear bench. The Corolla offers slightly more cargo room in the trunk at 12.3 cubic feet compared to the Civic's 12 cubic feet. The Civic boasts more front legroom with 42.2 inches compared to the Corolla's 41.7 inches; however, the Corolla offers nearly two more inches of rear legroom with 36.3 inches compared to the Civic's 34.6 inches. The Civic does have a longer wheelbase than the Corolla at 106.3 inches and 102.4 inches respectively. The Corolla is able to haul up to 1,500 pounds, while the Civic's towing prowess has not yet been rated.
Performance
Both the Civic and Corolla are equipped with a 1.8-liter inline-4 base engine, but the difference is in output with the Civic putting out 140 horses compared to the Corolla's 132 horses. The Civic steps up to a 197-horsepower, 2.0-liter inline-4, while the Corolla bumps up to a 158-horsepower, 2.4-liter inline-4. Perhaps one of the greatest powertrain differences that separate the Civic from the Corolla is its 113-horsepower, 1.8-liter inline-4 natural gas engine option. The Civic's available transmissions include a five-speed automatic, five-speed manual and six-speed manual, while the Corolla's engines can be mated to a four-speed automatic, five-speed automatic with auto-manual shift and five-speed manual.
Fuel Economy
When it comes to fuel efficiency, both the Civic and Corolla are at the forefront of their class with similar EPA estimated ratings. The Corolla ranges between 22-26 mpg in the city and 30-36 mpg on the highway, while the Civic can achieve between 21-26 mpg in the city and 29-36 mpg on the highway. If you're looking to reduce your carbon footprint, both the Civic and Corolla emit 6.3 tons of carbon annually.
Technology
Both the Civic and Elantra have a long list of optional technology offerings, including a navigation system with voice recognition, Bluetooth capability, USB audio interface, a power moonroof and XM satellite radio. However, where they differ is audio system offerings. While both are standard equipped with a six-speaker AM/FM radio with a CD player, the Corolla can be upgraded to a premium 440-watt JBL sound system. The Corolla also offers optional heated front seats.
Safety
As for safety, the Corolla comes away as the winner with more standard safety offerings than the Civic.
Both are equipped with a full compliment of airbags, active front head restraints and antilock brakes (with electronic brake-force distribution on the Civic). However, the Corolla offers standard electronic stability control and traction control across all its models, while the Civic only makes electronic stability control standard on its upper trim levels. In NHTSA crash test data, the Civic beats the Corolla in front passenger impact and side rear-seat impact with a perfect five starts, compared to the Corolla's four stars. However, the Corolla beats the Civic with five stars in side front-seat impact. The Civic has not received crash test data from the IIHS.
Other
Both the Civic and Corolla are basically carryovers from the previous model year with no significant changes and upgrades, other than the addition of standard electronic stability control across all trim levels in the Corolla.
