Power and Performance

The 2023 Honda Civic comes standard with an inline four-cylinder engine featuring an output of 158 horsepower and 138 pound-feet of torque. If you think that's an impressive output, consider that the Subaru WRX comes with a turbocharged four-cylinder that generates 271 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. While the Civic lineup includes a 180-horsepower engine, it's only available in upper trims, meaning you'll have to pay extra for an engine that still isn't as powerful as the WRX's.

Plus, the WRX is available with a six-speed manual transmission or the Subaru Performance transmission. The Civic is only available with a continuously variable transmission that doesn't deliver the seamless acceleration you get with the WRX.

Technology

The Subaru WRX integrates with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto via a 7-inch dual-screen display, while the Honda Civic's standard infotainment touchscreen also measures 7 inches. The WRX also gives you the option of upgrading to an 11.6-inch screen with built-in navigation. Unfortunately, the largest available display in the Civic lineup only measures 9 inches. Plus, your favorite music, audiobooks, and podcasts will sound much better on the WRX's standard sound system, which has six speakers compared to the Civic's four-speaker system.
