My Honda Civic gets on average 30 mpg and I have gotten as high as 40 mpg highway on long trips. There's plenty of room in the driver and passenger seat, although it is lacking room in the back as expected. It is by no means the fastest car, but has plenty of kick for the road.

This is my second car and it's never failed me. I have never experienced any issue with any of the components of the car, and everything has worked well since I bought it. I've never had to take it to the shop for anything, and I have gone on long-distance drives with it (12+ hours) and never had a problem with it breaking down. I once left the car in the South all winter, being driven only once a month, and then I used the car to make another 12+ hour drive and it didn't fail on me the whole way there, the only thing I had to do was inflate the tires and I was good to go. It's got fantastic fuel mileage, 12 miles to the gallon, which means I need to stop less on road trips and that's fantastic for me because I like to go where I need to go and not have to stop to refuel.
