Civic vs. Camry
Despite the similarity between Civic and Camry, there is also a significant difference between Civic and Camry. Besides the obvious one being made by Honda and one by Toyota, these two cars culminate in the most basic battle between midsize family sedans.
It’s hard to just compare motor sizes and such as you have the ability to special order through the factory. Therefore, other aspects of the models, which are static, are compared here. As an example, interior space is a vital aspect of finding the ideal family sedan.
The Camry is the larger of the two cars, larger inside and larger on the road. It is a “robust” car, built with a subtle reminder of the tank. The Civic seats four adults, and can squeeze tight for five. The Camry is more likely to offer comfortable seating for all five adults, as long as the three adults in the back seat are relatively average sizes.
The Camry’s ride is actually a bit smoother. Testing shows that the pot holes are much more easily sucked through the chassis, compared to the Civic. Riding in the Civic is a more responsive ride, and you’ll know it every time you hit a pothole or cross train tracks.
The Camry is known to have car seats that leave a lot to be desired. You may end up feeling like you’re sitting on rocks, rather than a custom-made seat. The Civic offers much more interior comfort, for two or four adults traveling a distance in the seats.
The Camry tends to depreciate much faster than the Civic. This is due to its “boat” feel and fairly average gas mileage. The Civic offers slightly better gas mileage, thanks to its lighter frame.
Many Camry drivers complain that there isn’t a fun and responsive feel when it comes to driving around town. Civic drivers tend to have a stronger connection to the road and feel like they have more fun driving.
Repair and replacement parts tend to run a bit on the high side for a midsize sedan for both cars, though the Camry seems to stray from the Civic for higher repair bills. The longevity of each car is about the same. Each one has its weaknesses, and its strengths.
