Choosing new $20k car

Get a damn prius lol or a prius plug in. Reliable, saves gas, and did I mention affordable

Have an 07 Civic would probably get another one if it ever dies. Only has 110k on it right now.

Kindof a bland year for the Civic, but they're good cars.

DashboardLight shows the newer Fit to be quite reliable, and I think they're both fun to drive and extremely practical. The first gen Fit tended to go through coil packs (a lot), but otherwise was very reliable.

The newest Fit now has a DOHC engine, basically the non-turbo version of the Civic's 1.5L mill.

The Fit, Yaris and like sized are just too small, even for the wife.

A Prius? Pass.

If reliability is #1 a Prius really does fit the bill perfectly.

Why are you asking a bunch of stranger what car you should buy instead of go test drive them all with your wife?
