Honda Civic vs Toyota Corolla
- Honda offers two engine options in its Civic sedan, a sprightly 158-horsepower, 2.0-liter I4, and a turbocharged 174-horsepower, 1.5-liter model further along the line. Toyota's sedan offers only 132- and 140-horsepower, 1.8-liter options, making Civic more powerful-feeling and self-assured for the Jonesboro, AR drive.
- Civic also has better turning and pulling power for the weather and roads down around Trumann, capable of putting out 138 pound-feet of torque to up to 167 in higher trims. Corolla delivers only 128 pound-feet, and that drops to 126 in later trims.
- A six-speed manual comes standard in the Civic LX base, whereas it's only standard in Corolla up the trim line in SE. That makes Civic the more excitingly hands-on choice for jetting out to Paragould on a weekend cruise.

- Civic also has a touch more overall passenger space, comprehending better front head, shoulder, and hip room as well as more rear shoulder and hip room -- plenty for your passengers to stretch out and relax.
- It's also easier to create custom cabin conditions. Civic features an automatic climate control system in the base. To get it in Corolla, you'll need to step up to the LE trim.
- Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard in Civic EX and later, as part of the car's eight-speaker, 7-inch Display Audio infotainment system.
