Winner: Honda
Civic Hatchback
Shoppers in the lowest cost segment of the new car market are looking for value and reliability, and nothing comes close to matching the Honda Civic hatchback in either department. With room for four adults, a folding rear seat to increase cargo capacity and funky styling to lend personality to the car, the Civic is perfect for everyone from a college freshman to a high-mileage commuter to a retired couple looking for wheels to tow behind the Winnebago. Cheap and relentlessly reliable, the Civic is also fun to drive. Starting prices are about $11,000 for a bare-bones CX, while another $1,500 buys DX trim with wheel covers, a stereo, a rear wiper and a cargo cover.
