Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will feel a little more squished in the Honda Civic than in the Toyota Camry, due to the Honda Civic's smaller rear head- and legroom. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Toyota Camry, the Honda Civic may be a little roomier and more comfortable for the driver and front seat passengers.

Convenience
The Toyota Camry 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). Based on MSRP, the Honda Civic is clearly a better financial choice over the Toyota Camry.

Dimensions
Since the Honda Civic is much slimmer than the Toyota Camry, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. The Honda Civic is slightly shorter than the Toyota Camry, which may make it easier to park.

Handling
The Honda Civic has a smaller turning radius than the Toyota Camry, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Honda Civic is significantly less powerful than the Toyota Camry. The good news is that, reportedly, cars with lower horsepower engines often have lower insurance premiums.

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

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