After lapping both cars we were intrigued to compare the laps side by side. On track the Civic felt far more focused and intentional while the Golf felt punchy and felt far more comfortable. From behind the wheel the Civic did feel like the quicker car on track but as you'll see the end result was surprisingly close.
