Honda Civic- $19,615
The Civic is a well-built sedan that has plenty of models to choose from to include sedans, coupes, and new to the lineup, hatchbacks that have European styling and increased cargo space. Base sedans are powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 158 hp, while higher trims, coupes, and hatchbacks feature a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder that generates 174hp or 180-hp depending on the trim. Some models have standard six-speed manual transmissions, with a CVT being available for all models. For all the bells and whistles, you can step up to the EX-T sedan that includes a moonroof, keyless ignition, automatic climate control, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise, and leather interior for just below $25,000.
