Corolla 1.8 CVT-i Cruisetronic or Civic 1.8 i-vtec hard top

[dr.sunny]

I have to decide between Altis 1.6, Altis 1.8 Cruisetronic (not Grande) and Civic i-vtec hard top. Which car would be the best option keeping in view the resale and value for money?

altis 1.6 best resale...

+1

Resale for cars with bigger engines is less.

In 1.8 segment Civic has now better resale for the first time in the history. But buy Oriel only.

Corolla rules when it comes to broken roads, speed breakers, unpaved tracks and generally more tougher and reliable.

If just resale is an issue then 1.6 altis is the car to buy otherwise i would recommend Corolla cruisetronic s you would get cruise control and cruisetronic has slightly better resale then hardtop civic.

Comfused betweem the same, dont want to go for 1.6
Probably will go for 1.8 cvt due to ground clearance issue in my city

Good suggestion but Cruisetronic has a lot to offer in just 2 lacs above the price of 1.6. I'm just worried about its resale and acceptability in market afterwards.

[dr.sunny]

So Altis it is then, comment on 1.6 or Cruisetronic if you have anything to say

[dr.sunny]

Has anybody here driven Altis 1.6? How's the performance?

1.6 will have better resale value.
1.8 will have more driving pleasure.

I have driven a 1.6 and found it to be quite responsive. After facelift it has now got almost all the Essential features.

1.8 will give you Extra on top of what is present in 1.6. But whether that Extra is something you really need or can make a tradeoff, is a decision only you can take.

For example I found cruisecontrol as useless ( after driving a grande last year) given the kind of traffic we encounter on motorway now. You have to cancel it every now and then because people neither follow lanes nor keep distance while overtaking.

Cruisetronic might be useless though I use it in my Civic on motorways sometimes. What about CVT?
