| Review Summary |
The 2009 Honda Civic LX-S represents a good mix of efficiency and value with just a touch of fun, but those looking for tech options beyond the most basic level will want to look at the Civic EX and EX-L models. |
For point A to point B usefulness, a Honda is never a bad choice when the budget demands practicality. The 2008 Civic EX-L with navigation offers quite a bit for the money. |
The 2009 Toyota Corolla is your classic commuter, good on fuel economy and reasonably comfortable. But its cabin tech isn't particularly impressive and doesn't go out of its way to work with personal electronics. |
Although not much of a tech car except for a couple of important features, the 2010 Kia Forte SX provides economical and practical transportation. |
Honda's reputation for practical economy is shown in the Civic Hybrid, well-built and simply designed to sip fuel. Interior tech options are usefully done, making this Honda a great commuter sedan. |
