im car shopping
and im wondering which is better deal
a toyota yaris sedan or a honda civic sedan
both will be automatic

my mom has a civic and its nice
it gets good gas mileage

the yaris is heaven as the coupe, but when it is in the sedan trim, it is as ugly as H**L. l find the civic much more appealing. both cars have roughly the same performance features, although the civic might be a tad faster. l say go honda. l think the civic start at like 15k, the yaris might be cheaper though, still, go civic
good luck,

CHado

Honda Civic no doubt!

The Toyota Yaris is generally cheaper & offers better fuel economy but the Honda Civic has reigned as a class leader in the compact car market for some time now. l would weigh ur decision based on how much u want to spend. If u r looking for the cheapest bargain possible, l would choose the Toyota Yaris. If u r willing to spend a bit more for though, u can get a better looking car with slightly higher performance. Personally l would consider the Mazda 3 also though.

The Toyota Yaris is a subcompact with a lower price point & the Honda Civic is a compact conventional car model with a higher base price. .Each of the models is among the most fuel efficient & green models, according to our firm is research.

Let me answer your question first by giving the Yaris & Civic the classification. The Honda Civic is equivalent competitive model is the Toyota Corolla & the Toyota Yaris' equivalent model in Honda is the City. But if l would compare both l would go for the Civic. First it is a higher class than the Yaris. Next you would be getting a lot of choice especially on the sedan variants. Do not get me wrong, Yaris is a good car model but different class. Hope l helped a little. Cheers.

You're comparing two different categories of vehicles. First, the Civic is a compact car comparable to the Toyota corolla. And the Yaris is a sub-compact, comparable with the Honda Fit. If you want a fuel efficient car that is both stylish and practical l would go with the Honda Fit. By the way, the newly redesigned model is coming out for '09 and it looks sweet!

the civic is better :)

l prefer the civic, but my mom has a 4 door yaris, l think it looks better than the 2 door version. and it rides nice and quiet, gets good gas
