1994 Civic VTi vs 1990 Corolla SX 20v

[samsider]

corolla sx's are all 16V unless a conversion has been done.
But if the corolla ur talking about is 20V then id go with that over a civic anyday

If you want cheap to run, the VTi is good on fuel.

yeh im 17 and drive a honda 1994 civic vti ther gusty not to bad, i spent stuff al on it its all stock the only thing i have done is put a pod n get it tuned a lil.
i dont know nething bout corollas but to me i would go 4 the civic much better looking.

im pretty sure the SX's are all 100kw 16v

i think the 20V rollas are the FX's
very rare though.. (arent they imported ?)

[chinkdood]

sx aint 100kw
only the japspec GTI rolla is 100kw flat
n i dont think rolla's came in 20v stock unless its the levins imported.
the older model rollas sx have around 80ish KW
im pretty sure but not 100% but i used to own the GTi n its signifcantly faster than the sx :P

[keric_02]

the corolla would be cool but i'd still stick with a honda

[egads]

yeah i used to have a 1.6 20v converted holden nova ae92 hatch (same shape as corolla sx), mated with a close-geared g/box. like some of the guys have said, power is all up in the higher revs and really isnt suited for daily driving hence the reason i sold it. dont get me wrong though, it was a fun little hatch with vvt

oh and normal ae92 corolla sx came with 1.6 100kw 16v engines

[Stoosh]

brand loyalty! stick with the honda...might be a bit more sluggish then the rolla, but looks way sexier

[J-MuN]

no one flame me, havent read all the posts thoroughly but why dont u go a VTi-R instead of

the VTi?... if u want balls, the VTi-R has more than enuff...

[Civ_97]

if u want a corolla u could always buy one cheap at auctions with high mileage, then track down a 4AGZE and whack it in

My my aren't we all an ignorant bunch! Just treasing

Seriously though.... anyone that says a 20V has a narrow power range has never driven one. Complete and utter BS. Do not let the information you have gathered about current celica engines be dragged across into the last generations of the 4AGE.

Also do not look at the Silver and Blacktop 20Vs differences as just 5ps. This is very very wrong. There was a lot of lightening of components in the bottom end of the B/T and also the head is vastly different... ports, quelch area... even the ITBs are different.

As for the way the engines feel driving them..... Silvertops feel like a 16V Redtop with good I/H/E.... blacktops feel very different and very strong compared to silverstops.

Claimed hp of these two engines I am very sceptical of.... especially the S/T The B/T I still feel got close to the 165 ps (clamied) I personally would say closer to 150hp.

As for choosing an old Corolla or a Civic..... hard choice.... to me power isn't everything.... and your more likely to get a more enjoyable ride (handling wise) out of the civic for the amount of $$$ you throw at it.
