Sirs
First of all, I have yet to see an Altis Cruisetronic SR on rent or any Top grade Civic.
Secondly both cars are good and having the same price point but they are both entirely different cars targeted at entirely different audience.
Plus points of Civic: Still the best dynamics if you want to drive the car instead being driven by a Chauffeur, a more responsive A/T shift, now coming with factory DVD navigation with reverse camera, passenger side airbag, fog lights and immobilizer.
Negative points: Less rear seat room, less trunk room, less fuel capacity, illogical dashboard, engine is not too smooth, expensive parts and low resale, (my Civics engine mounts failed just after the warranty lapsed, that is personal however).
Plus points of Corolla: Even the lowest resale among all Corollas still guarantee much higher then a Civic, cheap parts, good on broken roads, more rear leg room, good engine, tiptronic style gate shifter, leather interior, better colors.
Negative points: Not a driver's machine at all.
