2016 Honda Civic

The Honda Civic has been among the country's bestselling models for years. Despite the fact that it's become more conservative over the years, it remains the benchmark for engineering and reliability. There's a 1.8-litre 143-horsepower 4-cylinder purring under the hood, unless you opt for the sportier Si, which has a little more zip thanks to the 2.4-litre that delivers 205 horsepower.
