2021 Honda Civic vs 2020 MINI Cooper

The MINI Cooper showcases timeless design and encourages even the timidest driver to live out their inner Mario Kart fantasies. With a short wheelbase, low curb weight, and torquey engines, the MINI Cooper delivers more smiles per square foot than most competitors. And with a new electric powertrain option, it can do so with a green footprint, too.

Honda is ready to retire the 10th-generation Civic, one of the ground-breaking versions in the nameplate's long and storied history. From its polarizing design and three body styles to the arrival (finally!) of the Honda Civic Type R performance variant in the North American market, this version of the Civic made its mark. And even though the design is now six years old, and the car is ubiquitous on Canadian roads, the 2021 Honda Civic remains worthy of consideration.
