3. Honda Civic

The new 2016 Honda Civic is taking another step towards the fun and sporty, but don’t worry, it hasn’t left behind the legendary reliability we’ve all come to associate with it. Honda has always had a passion for affordability, longevity, and sustainability. On the original Civic, they even incorporated their own technology to meet strict emissions regulations without using an expensive catalytic converter, keeping costs down while protecting the environment. This practical little commuter car has grown up over the years, gaining interior space, tons of features, excellent safety ratings, and larger more powerful engines. Honda is even bringing a production turbo engine to the table, something not seen since the turbo motorcycle they built in the 80’s. Coupled with the company’s i-VTEC system, Americas first Civic Type R should prove to be a very potent and capable car, smashing expectations across the board. Being in competition with cars like the Focus and Golf, a performance variant is almost a prerequisite, and all of us will be waiting to see how the Honda stacks up on a closed course.
