Buying Advice

For 2010, we would recommend the EX trim for the Civic. It blends its reliable daily driving with practicality in an adequate manner. For the added price, you get 16-inch alloy wheels,sunroof, a six-speaker sound system, ambient console lighting, cruise control, and much more. We would also recommend the optional Navigation System with Bluetooth connectivity as it makes the sedan much better equipped for daily use. For the fuel economic among you, the Hybrid could also be a good choice as it offers more versatility. We especially liked the Alabaster Silver Metallic, Habanero Red, and Taffeta White exterior paint options as they make the Camry more fun tom look at.
