No definitive answer exists to this question since both companies produce a wide range of vehicles with varying engines and performance levels. That said, some independent tests have found that certain Volkswagen models are indeed faster than comparable Honda models. For example, the VW Golf R has been clocked at 0-60 mph in 4.9 seconds while the Honda Civic Type R takes 5.7 seconds to reach the same speed. Ultimately, it depends on the specific model being compared.
