They're pretty evenly matched but the corsa will feel quicker specially in higher gear due to the torque of the XE, plus you wont have the need to change down a gear everytime you put your foot down, top end the civic will have the advantage but only just

The CTR is a fair bit quicker accelerating, bit higher top speed aswell. It also corners better 
But, for the price of a C20XE Corsa, not much can beat it and no turbos to go bang either
