Honestly, I'd get a toyota corolla before a civic, just because of the unwanted attention civics always get.

Sadly it's so hard to find one in good shape. I had one back in the day. Damn that was a fun car... hard not to love 50mpg on the highway.

I've been impressed w/ my first Subaru. They're fun to drive w/ the awd handling and get good gas mileage.

You can't go wrong w/ a Toyota, definitely.
