Your Mods To 2006-2011 FD Civics

Depends which corolla.
Sportivo is SLIGHTLY faster. Other corollas are nothing compared to an FD.

What sort of power to weight are we talking about?

i thought sportivo are like 140 kw

that's a lot more than fd

My mate test drove the 9th Gen and a Corolla SX and said the 9th gen had no guts at lower RPMs, relative to the Corolla. He said he felt like he had to push his foot down more on the accelerator to get the car moving.
The Corolla had much better pick up and more torque.
I'd recommend the Corolla over a 8th/9th gen.

Why? What about luxury wise to?

I mean really, 8th and 9th gen civics aren't built to be sports cars are they?

True True. When I drive mums 2009 Corolla its quicker down low but top end FD is hands down better.
The only downside to the corolla is its gearbox. Its only 4 speed and its stupid as. Never knows which gear to be in.
I come out of a round about at about 40km-50km/h with m foot barely on the accelerator and its in second gear at about 4,000 revs.

As of Luxury/Comfort I'd pick a facelift FD2. Pre facelift is fine but im not a fan of the Grey leather. 2009 + FD2 for the black leather and sunroof

Apart from the gearbox Corollas are fun to drive. Zippy little things and handles VERY well.

@DAN Bring me JPraks spare lip please?!

I actually will if you want LOL, we have a day dedicated to exploring sydney and shit


In regards to 9th gen not as zippy as a corolla. Compared to the previous gen corolla, the 9th gen feels heaps zippy compared to the corolla (sedan), but that could just be the particular one i drove. Also drove a different one (hatch) and that one felt zippy though. Havent driven the new ones yet

Comparing to an FD however, handling, seating position and interior hands down is better than the corolla lol
