This could be one of the greatest match ups in history. A 2008 Ford Focus is in the ring with the elder 2002 Honda Civic. This will be an interesting one since the Ford is looking to beat the car that has always shadowed its older brothers. Tonight the young gun Ford against old reliable Honda!
The first test is power the Ford is 140hp and the Honda just 115hp but don't worry because there is more to a car then power. The Honda has better the better suspension and is also lower to the ground meaning the Honda has the advantage in the corners but the Ford will blow past the Honda on the straights.The other advantage the Honda has is weight, it weighs 1098kg while the Ford weighs 1198kg. This isn't a big difference although it can make a huge difference.
Know the real world facts, the economy. The Ford gets 24/35 mpg while the Honda gets 33/50 mpg. So the Honda will beat the Ford because the Ford will run out of fuel before the Ford. So there you go you can think of the Honda Civic as a track day car to thrash and a city car to drive!!
