I don't work for Honda Atlas however I have enough common sense to know when people are being ripped off. If you think XLi is good value for money then you have a lot of money you don't care for.
Civics deliver better performance, comfort, features and style.
All Corollas to date have a lousy suspension, especially the current model. The new Corolla won't offer anything that great either. Oh and for your information, once the new Civic was unvieled, Toyota actually went back and redid the Corolla from scratch because they knew it wouldn't be able to compete with the new Civic.
Civic vs Corolla=no comparison. Both are econosedans but Civic has a league of its own.
Its also a matter of personal preference. I dislike Corolla because its so freaking ugly. But then again thats my opinion, just like yours is just that-- your opinion.
Lets not make this a Civic vs Corolla thread. And stick to the original topic.
