corolla vs civic

what car do u guys think is better in terms of gas milage

Pretty broad question. Depends on what model year Corolla and Civic you are looking at and their equipment levels are?

But spec'd out very similarly - the two would get almost the same fuel economy, If you looked over the whole series of those models (all trim levels over many years) - I would have to say that Toyota would have slightly better fuel economy (I was a former Honda guy too).

When I bought my 2002 Corolla S - I was comparing it directly to a Honda Civic LX. Spec'd out almost the same and ran almost the same price (Honda was slightly higher). The Corolla was rated 30-32 city/39-41 highway and the Civic was rated a 30-33 city/38-39 highway.

check out fueleconomy.org. Ignore the manufacturer ratings and just look at user reported mpg. Make sure you choose automatic or manual correctly when selecting a car. I did this some months ago and felt like it was more or less a tie but the corolla was slightly better, and the civics can have more transmission issues than corollas, so I got an '04 corolla and an '01 prizm.
