2017 Honda Civic vs. 2017 Toyota Corolla at Honda of Casper

2017 Honda Civic

2017 Toyota Corolla

With an available 16-valve DOHC engine, the new Honda Civic gives drivers 174 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque. This makes for a robust and compelling drive that isn’t overly aggressive. And outfitted with a unit-body and a multi-link rear suspension, the Civic is equipped to be adaptable, and its handling is intuitive and responsive. It features all-season tires, which allow it to tackle every terrain with equal energy, and its narrow 106.3-inch wheelbase gives it a small turning radius. This means it can turn sharply and with precision. What’s more, the Civic offers an available 31 mpg city**/42 mpg highway**, which makes it one of the most efficient sedans available to drivers in Casper and across Wyoming.

Sporting a 1.8L 4-cylinder, 16-valve, DOHC engine, the 2017 Toyota Corolla offers a robust and engaging ride, but it lacks the power of the Civic. The Corolla just isn’t as strong as its competitor with 140 available horsepower and 126 lb-ft of torque. The Corolla does feature an identical wheelbase, which means it will turn precisely. But its unitized body and torsion beam rear suspension make for a slightly more rigid ride, and one that doesn’t adapt as well to the road. The Corolla also doesn’t offer the Civic’s level of economy — its 28 mpg city/36 mpg highway can’t match the 31 mpg city**/42 mpg highway** of the Civic.

Performance isn’t everything, though. Let’s see which of the two offers the best available features.

Which Vehicle is Right for You?

The 2017 Honda Civic is the only sedan that offers drivers both unbeatable fuel efficiency and the sporty performance Wyoming car-lovers crave. With superior power, handling, and fuel economy, the Civic wins in every category of performance. The Corolla puts up a good fight, but it can’t stand up to the sedan perfection of the 2017 Honda Civic.
