2002 Toyota Corolla vs 2000 Honda Civic?

Which one should I get and why? I'm planning on getting one of these cars next year when I turn 18 to use just as a daily driver to get me home to school and work and every now and then when I go out with friends. I'm also planning on getting it in white and just put some nice rims on it and maybe some nice speakers. Btw I live in New York City and since insurance will be high for me I'm planning on putting it under my fathers name and also this will be my first car ever thats why I don't know which to pick I also just want the one that has better gas milage.

Added (1). I also want it Automatic.

I think Toyota Corolla is best one for you

2000 Honda Civic

2002 Toyota Corolla

A civic of year 2000 is much better manual.
Even though i like the civic better, for the everyday use that you plan on using it for, id go with the corolla. They are both good on gas, cheap on parts.
The civi is easier to costumize but you already said u only plan on rims n sound system. So id get the corolla.

Really, it comes down to the individual car you can find, make sure it has been well kept and it comes cheap, then one model is as good as the other. Pay cash and go for liability only.

Then, shop around as insurance prices wildly differ.

hope I helped!

Um, neither of them are chick cars. Ignore Sonny, getting a V8 is a bad choice because it will have higher insurance rates and the mpg is terrible. Unless you're compensating for something, avoid any V8 car. And just because the Toyota is newer doesn't mean it's a better car. I suggest going for the one that's in better condition

Either car would be great. But insurance might be higher for the Honda Civic. Save your money on the rims as it's not worth it dressing these cars up. Save your money for something nicer down the road. If you live in NYC, then why do you need a car when the subways are perfect?

One is just as embarasing as the other. Doesn't really matter. A chicks car is a chicks car. Pick the toyota its 2 years newer. Personally i would want a much better car. At least a v/8

  • Which Car Is Better Toyota Corolla 2003-07 Or Honda Civic 2004-06? Wanna Buy My First Cat In Next 2 Year I'm Currently 16 so i wanna know Which Car Is Better corolla 2003-07(1.3L/1.6L/1.8L/2.0 Diesel) or Honda Civic 2004-06(1.5/1.6L)?
  • What is better a 2014 Honda Civic or 2014 Toyota Corolla? I'm looking at these cars in terms of price and more "bang for your buck." Both seem interesting to me and I have yet to test drive them. The Honda Civic seems like it is the better car based on reviews but the newly redesigned Toyota Corolla looks better than previous versions and is slightly cheaper than the Civic. Which one should I consider looking towards? Please do not mention any other car, I'm only focused on these two at the moment.
  • Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla Altis? Which should I choose? Honda Civic: 1,798 CC 141 PS 5 M/T OR Toyota Corolla Altis: 1,598 CC 122 PS 6 M/T (I like Honda Civic because it has a 1.8 L displacement but I also like the 6 speed manual transmission of Toyota Corolla Altis because we don't have 6 speed manual transmission Honda Civic here in the Philippines) So which should I choose?
  • Are 300cc sport bikes faster than your average car? As an example, Honda civic and Toyota Corolla vs ninja 300 and yamaha r3 I've heard that small displacement sport bikes are faster than your average car, and was wondering if it was true. By faster I mean faster acceleration, highway passing, and cornering.
