If you’re in the market for a new car, choosing a Honda or other inexpensive, reliable option is a no-brainer. The Civic is an affordable way to spend the next decade or more behind the wheel of a relatively boring, simple, yet dependable sedan or hatchback. It starts at $24,695, plus, for a few thousand dollars more, you could get superior fuel economy from the hybrid powertrain. This formula works for the majority of car buyers, hence why Honda’s sales figures are usually so strong. That said, some enthusiasts, smart used shoppers, and fans of luxury driving experiences would rather spend the same amount on a nicer car.
