IMO, 1.0 platz only lacks the engine punch as compared to local VTis, otherwise, handling in terms of road grip and braking is slightly better, platz ABS are far better than VTis, if you talk about 1.3 Platz, it is better in drive than civics
About corollas, there is no match between platz and local corollas in terms of road grip, driving comfort, quality and drive. Platz is quite superior
