So guys, when you were shopping for the Civic, what other cars did you consider? and why did you end up buying the Civic?
For me, it was the Civic Hatch Sport, Mazda 3, WRX, and the Elantra Sport. I wanted something practical with good gas mileage that I could use as a daily driver, but at the same time have fun. Immediately the WRX left my list because insurance was the equivalent of a car payment for me. Then it was between the Civic, 3, or Elantra, which I flipped flopped on several times. Eventually the Mazda was out because of the gas mileage and the 2.5 NA engine. I then flip flopped on the Civic and the Elantra for awhile. The Elantra had that crazy warranty, more HP, and more standard features, it seemed like a no brainer for me, however every Honda I've owned had been a great reliable car. Eventually what sold me was that no Hyundai dealership around me had an Elantra Sport that I could test drive while the Honda dealership next to my house had a bunch of CVT Hatch Sports. When I saw the exterior in person and sat inside one, it just felt right. After a test drive, and search around for a good deal, I eventually came back and put an order in for my Hatch Sport in Manual.
