Civic Vs. Camaro

The differences between the Honda Civic and the Chevrolet Camaro are more than just the nameplate each vehicle bears. While the Civic is Honda's economy-oriented compact car, the Camaro is a gas-guzzling sports coupe.

Trims

Available in both coupe and sedan, the Civic has the base DX, the mid-line EX and luxury-oriented LX. The Camaro is a coupe that has LS, LT and SS trims (a convertible version is expected for the 2010 model year, though).

Engines and Transmissions

Five-speed automatic and manual transmissions, as well as a 6-speed manual are available for the Civic, with standard inline 4-cylinder engines. The Camaro comes with a standard 6-speed (either manual or automatic), and a choice between V6 and V8 engines.

Safety Features

ABS brakes, head and side airbags for drivers and passengers, power door locks and vehicle anti-theft systems are some of the features standard in all Civics and Camaros. However, the Camaro has additional standard keyless entry, and vehicle stability and traction control systems.

Interior Features

Features like steering wheel mounted controls and a stereo system with a radio and CD player are standard in all of the Camaro's trims---something that only applies to some Civic models.

Exterior Features

The Camaro sports the larger wheels. It also has standard automatic headlights, which is optional on the Civic.
