Performance
Contrary to the idea that a more powerful engine is always thirstier for fuel, the Honda Civic offers a punchy 158 hp compared to the Corolla's 132 hp - yet comes close to and can easily beat the Corolla's mileage. At 27 and 28 mpg city, respectively, the Civic and Corolla are essentially evenly matched in urban environments, but at 40 mpg for the Civic and 37 for the Corolla on the highway, the Civic has the Corolla beat for highway driving, which is a place where the miles tend to add up very quickly. Take advantage of the dual benefits of increased power and higher average mileage that the 2016 Civic manages to pack into its small frame.
Interior
Your car's interior is your main point of interaction with the vehicle, so it's a good idea to make sure that interior is as spacious and comfortable as possible. The Civic offers a noticeably larger interior cabin than the Corolla, giving drivers and passengers a more comfortable driving experience; with more room for the front seat riders and a wider overall frame than the Corolla, the Civic's interior is not only attractively styled - it's also more spacious and more comfortable.
Features
The Corolla may offer standard ABS, side airbags, stability control, and traction control, but the Civic goes above and beyond these features. The Civic sedan comes standard with all of these components along with a standard anti-theft system and air conditioning with climate control. Since one of the top environments for a Civic to spend a sizable amount of its time is in rush hour traffic, standard A/C and climate control can help make your drive a much more pleasant experience - and with the other convenience and safety features that the Corolla has to offer standard on the Civic, Honda's offering to the commuter car market has a sizable advantage. Don't worry about the extra costs that come with non-standard features - the 2016 Honda Civic comes with most of the essentials loaded on the vehicle right from the start.
