<prompt> Human: There is an 06 Hybrid Civic I can buy today for 7,000 or there is a 11,000 2014 Toyota Corolla I can finance. In terms of reliability which would be best? Im thinking if I do the civic, I have wiggle room for repairs. However, the corolla includes a warranty.  <response>: Are these your only options? The age of the Honda Civic worries me because of the hybrid battery. The 2006 to 2008 Honda Civic batteries had issues with tanking the promised fuel economy. Honda had to go to court over it. I believe the issue was strictly related to fuel economy, but I would look into that.The Corolla has been driven an absolute ton considering its only been 4 years. Toyotas are reliable, but thats a lot of stress on that engine. Id be worried about the service history. See if you can get access to that. Often when cars are driven that much in a short time, they arent serviced properly.If you can get a decent financing rate, I might consider trying to buy a lower mileage Corolla in the 1314 model year range. It will cost a little more hence the critical part being low financing rate. If you cant get a good rate, honestly, I might keep looking. Try expanding your search from your immediate area if possible obviously, I dont know your situation. You can often find good deals a few hours away from home. Drive out on a weekend and pick the car up.Good luck!
