I really like my Honda Civic! It was affordable, is reliable, fuel-efficient, and fits my needs. I drive a lot, and have already put 65,000 miles on the car, but it still drives like a dream. There are no rattles, odd noises, or dip in fuel economy. One of my favorite things about it (which may seem silly) is the dash. The miles per hour indicator is HUGE and lights up. I don't have to struggle to see or control my speed. The backseat is roomy for passengers, and I love how it is compact.

I'm an average height American woman yet I feel I'm peering over a fence every time I get in this car. I feel as I have a persistent lack of visibility, the dashboard sits very high. It does get good gas mileage, which as someone who came of age in the seventies, finds as a priority feature for any car they own or drive. However, it's impossible to recommend since there's the constant feeling of insufficient visibility when you get behind the wheel.
