Description: War Thunder is a next generation military MMO game dedicated to...
The tenth generation of Toyota Corolla launched in early 2007 as a sedan and hatchback, which was called by its own name Auris. Apparently, not only marketers and designers, but also designers were engaged in such a cardinal "breeding" of models in different poles: the hatchback rides and is controlled much more recklessly than a sedan. Thus, the developers have determined their place for each of them: Corolla is more suitable for sedate and respectable drivers, and Auris was created with an eye on young people. But in Russia, sedans are traditionally preferred, so the lion's share of sales of the model fell on the Corolla. And the very name Corolla for domestic motorists has already become a household name.

For the car, two gasoline engines of 1.4 liters (97 hp) and 1.6 liters (124 hp) were intended, as well as three turbodiesels with a volume of 1.4 liters (89 hp), 2, 0 l (126 hp) and 2.2 l (177 hp). The standard transmission for gasoline engines and a 1.4-liter turbodiesel was a 5-speed "mechanics". Diesels 2.0 and 2.2 liters relied only on a 6-speed manual. As an option for a 1.6-liter unit (124 hp) and a 1.4-liter turbodiesel, a robotic "five-step" was offered. And Russian dealers of Toyota traditionally sold only gasoline modifications.

The eighth generation Honda Civic debuted in the fall of 2005, and Russian sales started in early 2006. The car immediately went into the category of a shortage - potential customers signed up in a queue, the wait in which stretched for almost a year. In addition to bold design, Civic bribed potential customers with frisky engines and excellent driving performance, not to mention its innate reliability. Customers were offered a choice of a sedan and a five-door hatchback, which also differed not only in external and internal design, but also in the design of the chassis. A three-door was also available on our market, which was sold exclusively in a charged version of the Type R. Despite the space design of the hatchback, the sedan turned out to be the most popular in Russia.
The Civic was equipped with 1.4 liter (83 hp), 1.8 liter (140 hp) and 2.0 liter (200 hp) petrol engines, as well as a 2.2-liter turbodiesel (140 hp). In Europe, a hybrid Civic was also sold with a 1.3-liter engine and an electric motor (20 hp) instead of a flywheel. We used exclusively petrol versions: sedans and five-door hatchbacks with a 1.8-liter engine (140 hp), and the three-door Type R came only with a 2-liter “four” (200 hp) and mechanical 6 -speed gearbox.
Today on the Russian market for 400,000 rubles. you can find Toyota Corolla 2007-2008, and in good technical condition. Most likely, it will be a modification with a 1.6-liter gasoline engine and a 5-speed robotic gearbox. For the same money, the already post-styling Honda Civic of 2008–2009 is being sold. Moreover, customers do not face the torment of choosing an engine - the small car is equipped only with a 1.8-liter gasoline “four”, paired with which a 5-speed hydromechanical “automatic” will most likely be installed.
Trim Honda Civic
In the initial Comfort version, the model had four airbags, air conditioning, ABS with EBD, a CD radio, as well as electric windows and heated mirrors. For the "automatic" had to pay extra. And the rich Executive package included six airbags, climate and cruise control, a stabilization system, a CD changer and alloy wheels. The list of options included: leather interior, panoramic roof, xenon headlights, parking sensors, rain and light sensors, navigation system ...

Owner reviews
2009 onwards (1.6 l with automatic transmission, mileage 123,500 km)
Operated Corolla for more than five years and sold in just 1.5 hours after posting the ad. For all the time I only consumables. Very reliable, comfortable and very economical car for its size. And, as it turned out, it is very much in demand in the market.
Andrey Zavialov
2008 onwards (1.6 l with manual gearbox, mileage 105,600 km)
At 35 thousand km, the pump buzzed. Replacement - 8000 rubles. A year later, the hub bearing failed (12,000 rubles), then the stove fan creaked. The front panel rattles in the sun, and in cold weather it creaks along with the door trim. In general, the Corolla is not worth its money.
Mikhail Sinelnikov
2010 onwards (1.8 l with automatic transmission, mileage 87,300 km)
The Civic has never failed, despite the Turkish assembly, which is said to be of poor quality. Of course, there is no sound insulation, but the car is economical, reliable, and comfortable. I don’t see her competitors: the rest of her classmates are either more expensive or obviously worse ...
Ksenia Tamyanina
2009 onwards (1.8 l with automatic transmission, mileage 98,400 km)
Didn't drive my Civic. Landing - low, the paint is scratched even from the wind. The velor in the cabin has been worn to holes for three years. The sound of the radio sucks, the optics are weak, the glass is scratched, and with a full load, the suspension breaks through every hole. Expected more...

Potential body repair costs
Corolla is very thin paintwork, because of which scratches and chips quickly appear on the body. The lower parts of the doors are the first to corrode. Therefore, deep chips are recommended to be tinted immediately. by special means, and in winter, treat the body with protective polishes or liquid wax (2500 rubles). Over time, the trunk lock (4700 rubles) and the power window mechanism (2800 rubles) turn sour - they must be periodically lubricated before winter.
On battered sedans, rust appears on the rear wheel arches and door frames. Painting of one body element - 7500 rubles. Due to the misalignment of the guides, the driver's door windows fell out of their seals. And in the electrics, the heater motor fails (2800 rubles). A regular battery with a capacity of only 45 Ah lasts only three years.
Potential Engine Repair Costs
The 1.6L Toyota engine (1ZR-FE) will last more than 300 thousand km before replacing the aluminum cylinder block. The main thing is not to save on high-quality oil and follow the rules for its replacement. Otherwise, tar deposits form over time, which leads to the "bedding" of the valves. The gas distribution mechanism drive uses a durable metal chain (from 5,500 rubles), which can withstand 200 thousand km. The VVT-i phase change mechanism itself is reliable. After 100 thousand kilometers, oil may leak from under the valve cover gasket, front crankshaft oil seal or pan gasket. In early copies, the water pump (3,500 rubles) was marked by “incontinence” - it was changed at 60–90 thousand km. On restyled cars, it has become more durable.
The 1.8-liter Civic unit has one design feature: the catalyst, combined with the exhaust manifold, is integrated into the cylinder head. And this increased the thermal load of the motor. Therefore, the failure of the radiator or thermostat can lead to warping of the block head. Repair - from 25,000 rubles. A faulty fan switch sensor, which is located in the lower radiator tank, can also cause antifreeze to boil. The radiator itself also fails (13,500 rubles). On cars with a mileage of 150 thousand km, the crankshaft and camshaft oil seals are leaking. Repair - from 4500 rubles. And if the starter stops turning (7000 rubles), first check the operation of the solenoid relay.
Possible costs for running gear repairs
The Corolla suspension is simple in design, but it cannot boast of the strength of its predecessor models. The struts and bushings of the front stabilizer will be the first, at 20-40 thousand km, in the chassis (4800 rubles per circle). After 50 thousand km, with a creak when turning the steering wheel, worn strut support bearings (2200 rubles each) will appear. Shock absorbers (4,500 rubles each) usually take care of a “hundred”. And ball bearings have twice the service life. The rear suspension will remind you of itself only for 100 thousand km, when you have to change the shock absorbers (3800 rubles each). Silent blocks are able to last up to 200 thousand km.
The Civic sedan has fully independent suspension. Weak can be called the support bearings of the front struts (2000 rubles each), which were changed under warranty for 20–40 thousand km. Shock absorbers served about the same amount (4300 rubles each). True, after restyling, these parts have become more durable. Ball joints are considered practically eternal, and stabilizer struts and bushings (3500 rubles) live up to 100 thousand km. The springs in the rear suspension turned out to be fragile (4500 rubles each), due to which the car sagged with a full load. And the shock absorbers "punched" already at 50 thousand km.
) was distinguished by jerky and not always logical switching. In early examples, the electronics did not respond to the natural wear of the clutch elements and, as a result, incorrectly commanded the closing of the discs. Therefore, the clutch (8800 rubles) was already wearing out by 50 thousand km. The servo drive (19,600 rubles) does not tolerate heat and cold well - the box switched to “neutral” from any gear and refused to switch. The Japanese modernized the "robot" for several years, but in 2010 ... they returned the old 4-speed "automatic" to our market.
A similar situation happened on a Civic with a robotic transmission. And after restyling in 2008, it was replaced with a 5-speed automatic transmission. The box is very secure. For the entire period of operation of the model with such a box, the mechanics will not remember the cases of any regular breakdowns. True, the officials prescribe an oil change after 40 thousand km. The operation costs 7500 rubles.
Both cars are very close in terms of reliability and maintenance costs. But they are targeted at different customer groups. And when buying a Corolla, it is more expedient to give preference to more recent copies younger than 2010.
The ninth generation of the Honda Civic, which has already survived the update, against the eleventh version of the Toyota Corolla (European version), which has changed dramatically compared to its predecessor - which is better to choose?
Two "golf" sedans, two representatives of the Land of the Rising Sun - two such identical, but at the same time such different cars. You can talk about the appearance of the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla for a long time and tediously. This is not necessary, because everyone has their own tastes and preferences. The same can be said about interior design. After all, there are much more important parameters that can tip the scales in the direction of a particular car.
So, for example, Toyota Corolla http://auto.ironhorse.ru/category/japan/toyota/corolla is slightly larger than its Japanese "brother". This makes it more spacious than the Honda Civic sedan for both front and rear passengers. The front seats of the Toyota Corolla are narrower, their lateral support is less developed than that of the Honda Civic, but it is convenient to fit in both cars.
The second row of seats is more comfortable in the Corolla - there is more legroom, the roof presses on the heads much less than in the Civic.
The finishing materials in the Toyota Corolla sedan are of very high quality, they even resemble cars of a higher class. Honda Civic is inferior to its opponent in this parameter - plastic is tougher, but leather trim is still possible.
In terms of build quality, the Corolla, like all representatives of the Toyota lineup http://auto.ironhorse.ru/category/japan/toyota, is also ahead of the Honda Civic.
The Corolla has a 452-liter luggage compartment, while the Civic has a 440-liter one. In terms of displacement, the cargo compartments of the “Japanese” do not differ much, however, Toyota Corolla has another important advantage - a full-size spare wheel on an alloy wheel versus just a “dokatka” from Honda.
In terms of handling, these sedans are close to each other. The Honda Civic has a sharper steering wheel and the right steering effort, but it doesn’t have enough feedback, and any little thing under the wheels vibrates.
The steering wheel of the Toyota Corolla sedan is less sharp, but it is pleasantly heavier in corners. The car feels good, there are no vibrations.
On Russian roads, Toyota Corolla is much more comfortable than Honda Civic. The energy intensity of the suspensions, sound insulation, smooth running - all in favor of the Corolla. The Civic has a stiff suspension.
In Russia, the ninth generation Honda Civic is offered with one 1.8-liter gasoline engine that produces 141 horsepower. The engine can be paired with a 6-speed "mechanics" or a 5-band "automatic".
In this regard, the Toyota Corolla outperforms the Civic by one “gate” - three petrol units are available for it to choose from: a 1.3-liter with a capacity of 99 horsepower, a 1.6-liter that produces 122 “horses” and a 1.8-liter, whose return is 140 horsepower . The first engine is combined only with a 6-speed manual gearbox, the second - with the same "mechanics" or a continuously variable variator, the third - exclusively with a variator.
In terms of dynamics, the Honda Civic with automatic transmission loses to the Corolla with a 140-horsepower engine and CVT - 10.8 vs. 10.2 seconds. However, the "Civic" with the "mechanics" to accelerate from zero to the first hundred takes only 9.1 seconds.
The average fuel consumption of both cars with similar engines is almost the same.
In the Russian market, the ninth-generation Honda Civic sedan is available in three trim levels at prices ranging from 779,000 to 939,000 rubles. The "eleventh" Toyota Corolla is offered in seven versions and is priced at 659,000 to 1,026,000 rubles.
The basic equipment of the Toyota Corolla is cheaper than that of the Honda Civic by 120 thousand rubles, but the Civic wins due to a more powerful engine and better equipment. But the Corolla with a 1.8-liter engine with 140 horsepower will cost at least 933 thousand rubles.
Civic, Corolla and Mazda 3. The competitive class of compact cars is gaining momentum in popularity. Heavy city traffic and constantly rising fuel prices are pushing even those who were true fans of V6 and V8 powertrains under the hood to opt for a more compact, economical and easier to drive vehicle. Civic, Corolla and Mazda 3 the latest models occupy a worthy position in the class. Let's look at all the pros and cons of the "Japanese" of the new model year, which will help you make the right choice for yourself when buying a car.
Civic, Corolla and Mazda 3- popular small cars, each of which is carefully thought out in its own way and equipped with the latest technical achievements. They have their own differences in both comfort and performance, which is desirable to know before purchasing. After comparing prices, features and equipment, it will be possible to make a choice in favor of one or another model and choose the most suitable four-wheel companion, taking into account all the subtleties of each car.
Performance
All three cars have 4-cylinder engines with a displacement of about 1.8 liters, a five-speed manual transmission as standard and with the availability of an automatic transmission. The 1.8-liter power unit of the new Honda Civic develops 140 horsepower and 173 Nm of torque, the Corolla with an engine of the same size and with the same torque offers 130 horsepower, and the Mazda 3 is equipped with a 2.0-liter power unit 148 horsepower with a maximum torque of 183 Nm.
Weight
While the performance numbers are modest, the Mazda 3, which weighs around 1,290 kilograms, the Corolla, which weighs 1,255 kilograms, and the Civic, which weighs only 1,190 kilograms, cannot be called slow. All three cars, accelerating from standstill to 100 kilometers per hour, fit in 9 seconds and quite confidently pick up and maintain speed.
Economy
Fuel consumption is key point to select a vehicle. Corolla 2011 with a manual transmission consumes 8.7 / 6.2 liters per 100 kilometers city / highway, and with an automatic 9.4 / 6.9 liters per hundred. The new Civic takes second place and consumes 9.0 / 6.9 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers city / highway with the mechanics and 9.4 / 6.5 with the automatic. Mazda 3 with a manual gearbox consumes 9.4 / 7.1 liters, and with an automatic 9.8 / 7.1 liters of fuel per hundred kilometers.
Dimensions
In terms of size and capacity, Honda, Toyota Corolla and Mazda 3 are about the same. All three are equipped with five-passenger seat belts, but that doesn't mean five adults can fit comfortably for the trip. More than all three models favor cozy seating for four, but rear passengers get more legroom in the Honda Civic. The rear seats of all models can be folded down to expand the luggage space. The first position in terms of capacity is occupied by the Corolla, whose trunk has a volume of 348 liters, then comes the Civic with 340 liters, and the Mazda 3 will be able to take away the cargo placed in the luggage compartment with a volume of 334 liters.
Equipment
Although the Honda Civic, Toyota and Mazda-3 are compact cars, they offer an extensive list of active and passive safety. Active safety systems such as anti-lock brakes, which prevent the car from skidding during emergency braking, traction control, which contributes to more confident acceleration on slippery roads, and the stability control system, are standard on all Corolla and Mazda 3, but are additional equipment for Civic and is installed only on versions "EX", "Si", and "Hybrid". The Mazda 3 offers all-wheel disc brakes, the base Civic has rear drum brakes, and the Corolla doesn't have discs at all in the rear.
Differences between the new Corolla, Civic and Mazda 3
Body and design
Honda Civic and Mazda offer two body styles, Toyota Corolla only one. The Civic is available as a 4-door Sedan and 2-door Coupe (a Hatchback version is for 2012), the Mazda 3 as a Sport Hatchback or Sedan, and the Toyota Corolla can only be a Sedan, offering a Wagon version under a different name, the Toyota Matrix. The design of the new Mazda 3 is perhaps the most interesting and attractive, although the Civic, despite the six-year-old basic design, still looks stylish and relevant to this day. The most restrained and conservative appearance modestly updated Toyota Corolla 2011.
Fuel
The Honda Civic is the only car in the trio to offer a hybrid, petrol-electric version that combines a 1.3-liter internal combustion engine and an electric motor-generator. The total power of the Honda Civic Hybrid is 110 horsepower at a consumption of 5.9 liters in the city and 5.5 liters of combustible fuel per 100 kilometers on the highway. In addition, Honda releases a version of the Civic "GX", which runs on natural gas and consumes 9.8 / 6.5 liters per 100 kilometers city / highway.
Transmission
A 5-speed manual transmission is standard on all three cars (there are exceptions with six speeds), but the offerings of automatic transmissions are different. While Mazda and Honda offer five-speed automatic transmissions, Toyota has four-speed automatic transmissions. It is difficult to say whether this is better or worse, since both consumption and performance are approximately the same. In addition, the Corolla and Mazda-3 have the ability to simulate manual gear shifting, and the powerful Performance Edition Civic "Si" and Mazdaspeed3 are equipped exclusively with 6-speed mechanics.
Power
The Civic and Mazda 3 are available with more powerful engines than the Corolla can boast. The new Civic "Si", which is offered as a Sedan and Coupe, is equipped with a 2.0-liter powertrain that develops 197 horsepower and 188 Nm of maximum torque. The engine is able to accelerate the car from standstill to 100 kilometers per hour in 6.5 seconds. Mazda 3 Sedan or Hatchback is available with a 2.5-liter engine producing 167 horsepower and 228 Nm of torque, and with a standard six-speed manual transmission, and with an optional 5-speed automatic, it accelerates to 100 kilometers per hour in 8.0 seconds . The most powerful of the versions under consideration is the new Mazdaspeed 3, which, with a 263-horsepower 2.3-liter power unit and only six-speed mechanics available, accelerates the car from standstill to 100 kilometers per hour in 6 seconds. Torque Mazdaspeed 3 is an impressive 350 Nm.
Comfort
Each of the three automakers uses its own approach to ensure the convenience of the driver and passengers. All three models feature reach and tilt steering, height-adjustable driver's seat and folding rear seats. But the standard equipment is offered in different combinations. If the Corolla in the base version comes with air conditioning, which is not on the Mazda 3 and Civic, which in turn are equipped with power windows that are absent on the Corolla. An AM/FM/CD audio system is standard on the Mazda 3 and Corolla, but not standard on the Civic. The automatic door locks found on the Mazda 3 are not available on the Corolla and Civic.
Complete set
Also, as with all Honda models, you can't upgrade the base package with air conditioning or an audio system, instead having to upgrade to the more expensive DX or DX-VP. 2011 Corolla buyers who want cruise control, electric power windows or remote door opening will only be able to make their wish come true if they pay a surcharge to buy a Corolla LE. The situation is similar with the Mazda 3, where an alternative to adding cruise control to the car will be the purchase of a richer “iSport” package. In addition, there is no way to install a navigator, leather interior or heated seats at all on the Corolla.
Suspension
The Corolla's suspension setup offers a soft ride that makes the car the first mate for daily driving. Among the shortcomings, it is worth noting the lazy reaction to turning the steering wheel, bouncing on bumps and rubber creaking during high-speed cornering. The Civic's suspension keeps ride and handling at a level that's hard to find in this price range. But the small, 15-inch wheels make it sensitive to speed bumps in the road. But the finely tuned suspension on the Civic "Si" model will satisfy the needs of the most demanding buyers. The “Zoom Zoom” DNA, regardless of the installed engine, equipment or transmission, provides the Mazda 3 with a sedate, but when necessary, explosive character. Carefully tuned suspension and efficient engines allow you to confidently drive the car in both measured and sporty style. And MazdaSpeed3 with a turbocharged power unit can rightly be called a rocket.
