Two of the most highly-rated small sedans on the market today are the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla. The Honda Civic was introduced in the 1970s and continues to be one of the most popular small cars in the United States. However, despite the millions of Civics sold over theyears, more Toyota Corollas have been sold on the planet than any other vehicle. You can’t go wrong with either one.

Neither car has been tested under the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA)new and more stringent crash test ratings which compare vehicles in the same class. The most current NHTSA test results were performed on 2010 Civic and Corolla models. The Honda Civic has the advantage, scoring a majority of perfect 5-star crash test scores.
