Previous-generation Honda Civic used cars are still thick on the roads, thanks to a combination of good power, a roomy interior and very good fuel economy. Honda reliability needs little introduction, and the Civic's virtues are well known. The only knock against the car is that it was a little bland compared to its successor.
