Your truck is older than the OPs civic.
My Corolla is actually two years old and are we not comparing new cars to old? Not sure I'm willing to wait ten years to post on this thread, nor do I have fast forwarding abiilities. Most two year old cars don't have over 100 000 problem free kms, I thought that was good input to show that some vehicles are still reliable and also have better technology. Plus I think corollas are generally considered winners when it comes to being good cars...just like the civics.
And it has tons of airbags, electronic steering, abs , traction, stability, manumatic, goes 0-60kph in about 7.4 seconds.
