Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will feel a little more squished in the Genesis G70 than in the Honda Civic, due to the Genesis G70's smaller rear head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the Genesis G70 and the Honda Civic in the front seats.

Convenience
The Honda Civic requires fewer visits to the gas station than the Genesis G70, 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 Genesis G70 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Honda Civic, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Genesis G70 is much wider than the Honda Civic, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. When looking at overall length, the Genesis G70 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Honda Civic.

Handling
The Genesis G70 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 Genesis G70 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 Genesis G70 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 Genesis G70 and the Honda Civic.
