Both the Insight and the Civic supply you with a reassuring experience every time you take your seat behind the wheel. For example, they’re both available with the Blind Spot Information System with Cross Traffic Monitor. This accommodating system effectively boosts your overall awareness by making it easier for you to make your moves from lane to lane as well as back in and out of parking spots at the office, the grocery store, or your favorite restaurant.
These cars also come standard with such handy elements as Honda Sensing®, which includes things like Auto High-Beam Headlights that kick in the moment they’re needed to make sure you have optimum visibility at all times. They also keep you from unnecessarily distracting other drivers by automatically dimming as soon as oncoming headlights are detected.
A powerful engine performance is something else you can count on getting from these two. First, there’s the Insight and its 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine. You can count on it to deliver a total system output of 151 horsepower. In the Civic, the standard 2.0L 4-cylinder engine gives you 158 horsepower, while the available 4-cylinder with a turbocharger is responsible for producing as much as 180 horsepower. No matter which ride or engine you end up choosing, you can bet you’ll have the right amount of oomph at your disposal to satisfy your preferences along with your priorities.
Does a big part of your enjoyment of the ride involve the quality of the sound that comes hurling out of the cabin’s speakers? If that’s the case, you’ll be excited to know that the Honda Insight and Civic both have you covered. The Insight is available with a 450-watt premium audio system that includes 10 robust speakers and a subwoofer. A Bose® Premium Sound System that gives you a whopping 12 speakers is available inside the Civic.
