If it’s sitting on four wheels, even two, someone will find a way to get involved in a drag race. So, what will the outcome be when a Honda Civic R competes against an Oettinger Volkswagen Golf GTI? Well, the speeders look like they’re flying down the track, but there’s always room to question the skill levels of the drivers. Okay, it’s hard to tell, but you have to assume they know their craft or they wouldn’t be seated behind the wheel. Honda wins! On the other hand, it’s hard to tell who really won because the drivers are not pros.
Generally speaking, both Hondas and Volkswagens have quality lineups that have made a major impact on the world. Both brands are among the 100 most reliable cars of the past two decades. Of course, they’ll continue to set standards for decades to come.
