Toyota Or Honda ?


Recommended Posts

Personally, I've got a Honda Civic FD, but I would say that it really depends on what your priority is.

 

If you consider automobile as something that always gets you from point A to point B, both are great at that. Reliability-wise, I don't think there is much of a difference between the two, with regards to such surveys (JD power). Performance wise, I generally consider Honda as the better choice, not because of V-Tec, but rather, power to weight ratio, the much better steering rack most Honda's have, and the close-ratio gearing of their manual cars. Comfort, I would put Toyota on a higher pedestal, simply because of the subjectively better seating Toyota have, and their comfort-oriented suspension. Fuel-efficiency-wise, Toyota might be at a lead, but with lower power from their 1.3 or 1.6 mills.

 

Value for money, Toyota might be the better choice; however, Honda is seen by the populace as the more luxurious brand due to most taxi (Uber and Grab) having Toyota. It might be worth it for someone to take the splurge and indulge in the refinement and power of Honda's engine, plus the aftercare in Honda's Casa is Top-notch, at least in my experiences.

 

Maintenance wise, Toyota parts can be sourced from just about anywhere. Honda parts are a premium at places such as Banawe in QC.

 

A frequently overlooked criteria is how fun to drive a car is. A car is not simply an appliance. A car will not be replaced in a couple of years. You need to enjoy what you choose, so choose what you feel is the right car for you. Nevermind statistics and numbers that might not be directly applicable to you. If numbers were the case, Hyundai should be a better car since it has the highest horsepower to weight ratio, and the largest room in the compact vehicle sizes, but I'd say that after driving most compact vehicles, Honda Civic and Mazda 3 are much more fun to drive, whether fast or slow.

 

Generally, my opinion is: If you want an affordable, more comfortable vehicle, pick Toyota, if you want something faster, more fun vehicle, pick Honda. Both of them are good vehicles, you just need to choose what is more important for you, your family, and your capacity to pay.
