Thread: Honda Civic Vs Toyota Corolla Vs Volkswagen Jetta-Space & Practicality

The Civic's lowish stance means that the seats are low and entering and exiting the car could be a bit of a bother, especially for older people. But the seats themselves are quite comfortable with generous support, legroom and shoulder room and won't be a problem even after long journeys. Passengers also get a number of storage bins for their knick-knacks around the central console, apart from the four door pockets. Chauffeur-driven owners will appreciate touches like the extra reading lamps and the audio remote control placed inside the rear armrest. Boot space at 40slitres is good but is the smallest here, and the rear seats don't fold either which limits practicality.

The Corolla Altis, on the other hand, is a bit taller than the Civic, so getting in and out is easier. The rear seats are comfortable but are slightly lacking in underthigh support. There are various storage bits in the cabin which includes twin gloveboxes and bits around the central console along with large door pockets that can also accommodate bottles, which is a plus point. Rear passengers also get a sun blind for the rear glass which is a useful feature especially in our sun-kissed India. Boot space is better than the Civic at 47slitres and the rear seats split 60:40 and fold for added space.





The Jetta's seats are on the firmer side and a bit upright. Although comfortable, they aren't as good as the Civic's or the Corolla's. Legroom at the rear is not as much as the others in this bunch but adequate to be comfy. On this Trendline version, we missed the rear centre armrest. Unlike the others, the rear passengers get dedicated AC vents, but the high transmission tunnel limits comfort for the centre passenger. Boot space is massive at S27litres and the seats also split 60:40 and fold for estate-like space.
