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 than the Toyota Corolla. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Toyota Corolla, the Honda Civic may be a little roomier and more comfortable for the driver and front seat passengers.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Honda Civic as you will with the Toyota Corolla, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.

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). When looking only at MSRP, the Honda Civic will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Toyota Corolla.

Dimensions
The Honda Civic is a little wider than the Toyota Corolla, 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 Toyota Corolla.

Handling
The Honda Civic has about the same turning radius as the Toyota Corolla, allowing equal maneuverability in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Honda Civic has less horsepower than the Toyota Corolla, so it will probably be somewhat slower.

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

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