Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Honda Civic than the Dodge Challenger, due to its greater head- and legroom. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Honda Civic, the Dodge Challenger may be a little roomier and more comfortable for the driver and front seat passengers.

Convenience
The Honda Civic requires fewer visits to the gas station than the Dodge Challenger, making it more convenient to drive.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Dodge Challenger will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Honda Civic, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Dodge Challenger is much wider than the Honda Civic, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Dodge Challenger, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Honda Civic.

Handling
The Dodge Challenger has a larger turning radius than the Honda Civic, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Dodge Challenger has a much more powerful engine than the Honda Civic. However, something you should consider is that higher horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the engine of the Dodge Challenger does a much better job of transmitting power to the wheels than the Honda Civic.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Dodge Challenger and the Honda Civic.
