Comparing the 2024 Honda Civic with its rivals, most of them offer you a 2.0L inline four-cylinder engine paired with a CVT gearbox which feels rather lethargic including the Civic’s. But hold your breath for the 2024 Mazda 3 sedan which offers you the largest in the segment 2.5L Inline 4 Cylinder engine that produces a massive 191 hp and 186 lb-ft of torque. It is not just the engine, but the Mazda 3 sedan’s amazing driving dynamics, which, due to its amazing chassis setup makes it capable of handling the engine’s phenomenal performance. Apart from that, it has the quickest 0-60 MPH timing by a huge margin with a timing of just 5.6 seconds as compared to other cars in this segment, which take a minimum of 8 seconds. The top speed of the Mazda 3 sedan stays the highest at 134 MPH.
2024 Honda Civic Ride and Handling
The 2024 Honda Civic has great driving dynamics and this has always been its strong advantage even if we talk about its previous generations or models. The 2024 Honda Civic continues to impress us with its sharp handling, communicative steering, and well-balanced ride, which makes it extremely fun to drive. Body roll is minimal, and the car feels easy to drive in the city. Talking about its suspension, it may not be as comfortable as some of its rivals out there due to its sporty behavior but it does a good job of soaking those bumps on the road. The front seats are also quite supportive, and hold you in place when you throw the Civic around the corner, which it absolutely loves!
