Correct me if I'm missing something, but isn't the Sube an AWD and the
Civic would be FWD (only), right? That would be a day and night
comparison.
Even my (underpowered) '97 CR-V can blow away the acceleration of any
FWD vehicle when the light turns green at an icy intersection. Four
wheels pushing and better snow clearance are fantastic advantages on
snow-covered ice.
