Im a civic hardcore, but for this review, i totally agree. The empow trumps the civic all the way. The empow also has launch control which is a hoot to use. The exhaust note is addictive. And the price-- its a 200 full tanks difference at 427k. The civic is overly hyped and priced ridiculously. As for reliability, any billion dollar car manufacturer makes reliable cars. Technology has gone leaps and bounds. I love civics, but this empow, brand loyalty aside, is a winner.

I drove a civic rs and i own an empow now and i have to say i made the best choice in my life. Aside from the price the performance will put the civic to shame. Suspension handling fuel efficiency power and comfortability is just hands down!!! I watch its nurburgring run and with only a change in shocks tires and wheels it did a shocking 8 minute lap!!!! Totally blow away its competition out of the water which cost twice the price or more.

Nice review Kyle. Very honest and no detail forgotten. I have to say that the true rival of the Civic right now is the Empow and not the Altis. They are almost similar in engine output and offer a lot of tech in their category. It's now only down to what a buyer prefers, whether if it's the executive feel or the sporty vibes. No hate on the current gen Altis cause I drive one, but Toyota better up their A game for the next gen cause right now in my opinion it's a toss up between the Civic and Empow in terms of the compact sedan category when you look at what those two offer for the price.

I don't understand why Honda RS is not available with Manual or DCT(Not sure tho). Considering that it is a civic and Filipinos like Sedan Civics the most and we like to tune civics. With current CVT its impossible to increase the HP and torque beyond 250 without breaking the CVT belt.

Quality can be interpreted in many forms: the materials used; panel gaps; NVH levels; comfort, among others. These were highlighted in the comparison and it's pretty clear that the Chinese-made can stand head-to-head with its Japanese counterpart. I respectfully disagree on the quality part. We'll have to wait and see if GAC produces durable engines though. A perfect example would be a Ferrari. We all can agree that the lads in Maranello only use the best possible materials and extract as much performance as possible to all their creations. That is quality. But durability is always suspect.
