Performance: VW Jetta vs. Honda Civic

Although it starts out with a lower price than its rival, the VW Jetta actually does significantly better on the roads of the Long Island region. With winning EPA-estimated fuel economy in the city and on the highway, it’s easy to see why regular commuters prefer VW.

Interior Features: VW Jetta vs. Honda Civic

No matter which of these two compact sedans you settle on, you’ll receive standard features like Bluetooth® hands-free calling, Bluetooth® audio streaming, a rearview camera, and cruise control.

However, only those who opt for the VW Jetta will receive 60/40 split-fold rear seats and 12-volt power outlets in the base trim. What’s more, the VW Jetta includes a 6.5-inch touchscreen, standard, while the Civic only includes a 5-inch LCD display. Those who upgrade the Civic will be able to equip a 7-inch touchscreen, but with an 8-inch touchscreen available in upgraded models, the VW wins again. The Jetta also offers unique ambient lighting options.

Safety: VW Jetta vs. Honda Civic

The Civic is available with the Honda Sensing® safety suite, so one might assume that it provides a safer drive for individuals and families near Hicksville. However, the Jetta is also available with an advanced safety package that includes most of the features listed with Honda Sensing®, including a forward collision warning.

So, which compact sedan provides more security? Since only the Jetta safety system includes a blind spot warning system, and it’s available in the base trim, we think it’s the better option for our neighbors. To receive a similar feature in the Civic, you’ll need to upgrade with the more expensive Civic EX trim level.
