We bought a Civic EX Sedan in February. Love it. Way better than the Toyota Corolla it replaced. Have been getting 30-34 MPG.We also test-drove the Toyota Corolla. The Civic outclasses it in every way (handling, acceleration, quietness). The Corolla is less expensive, until you start adding features that come standard with the Civic (side curtain airbags, anti-lock brakes, etc.). We don't happen to be Honda loyalists; like I stated earlier, the previous car was a Corolla. The one drawback we can see is that Honda parts costs seem to be higher than Toyota parts costs overall. We decided that this wasn't important, as both companies have very good reliability records.Also, don't listen to Mojoman. He obviously doesn't know what he's talking about. The Civic has been such hot seller that the factories in the Ohio and Canada haven't been able to keep up with the demand. The one we bought was assembled in Japan. Also, the 2006 Civic was the best selling compact car in the US in 2005 (see link below), although I believe the Corolla still beats it in worldwide sales.
