Honda Civic 2017

Honda has never compromised on their name, their Civic is pretty much similar to Corolla in numerous ways but kind of wins the rain when it comes to a few dynamics that are unoffered in this car such as the keyless entry, cruise control, a more well-designed cabin. But when it comes to fuel average and comfort, Toyota Corolla takes the lead.

2017 Chevrolet Cruze

One first may say that Cruze is a far-off better car than Corolla but most critics find the Corolla to be better and rather a safer car than Chevrolet Cruze. With less engine noise and a smoother ride, Corolla seems to be better than this car but when it comes to the interior Chevrolet is offering in such a range of prices, it seems to take the lead from Corolla. Other than that, Corolla offers a far better 7inch entertainment system with apple car play. It even gives off better acceleration with its turbodiesel power and has also proven to be safer than Cruze.

To buy or not?

With the price and variety of options being offered, getting the Corolla 2017 model would for sure be worth the price. It offers a good ride, with comfort and safety not being compromised.
