Model Comparison Analysis 

Starting under the hood, the Honda Civic Sedan has larger engines and one of its optional engines is a turbocharged engine, lending the Civic a lot of power for fun driving and quick acceleration. The Rio doesn’t have much in terms of mechanical options, as it lacks a manual transmission, something the Civic would not go without. 

In terms of audio, you’re going to get far more out of the Civic than you are going to get from the Rio, especially when you pit the highest trim levels against each other. Pair this with the Civic and its more comprehensive list of driver assist technology like adaptive cruise control and blind spot monitoring and you can see why the Civic simply ends up being more value for its cost, and a more exciting vehicle to drive at the same time.
