Comparison Review

Comfort
The Honda Civic offers rear passengers about the same space to stretch out as the Subaru Impreza with comparable rear head- and legroom in both vehicles. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Honda Civic, drivers may find the Subaru Impreza a little roomier and somewhat more comfortable.

Convenience
The Subaru Impreza requires fewer visits to the gas station than the Honda Civic, 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 Honda Civic is somewhat more expensive than the Subaru Impreza.

Dimensions
The Honda Civic is a little wider than the Subaru Impreza, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. When looking at overall length, the Honda Civic takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Subaru Impreza.

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

Performance
In terms of horsepower, it's basically a tie between the Honda Civic and the Subaru Impreza.

Powertrain
With its lower torque, the Honda Civic doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Subaru Impreza.

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