Comparison Review

Comfort
Due to its greater rear head- and legroom, backseat passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Honda Civic Hybrid than the Mercedes-Benz CLA 250. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the Honda Civic Hybrid and the Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 in the front seats.

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 Hybrid is clearly a better financial choice over the Mercedes-Benz CLA 250.

Dimensions
The Honda Civic Hybrid is a little narrower than the Mercedes-Benz CLA 250, so you'll have an easier time getting in and out of the car in a tight parking spot. The Honda Civic Hybrid is slightly shorter than the Mercedes-Benz CLA 250, which may make it easier to park.

Handling
