Which Civic should I buy?

Not only does it add a few more desirable features, such as a sunroof and heated seats, it comes with the punchy hybrid engine that makes 200 horsepower and gets close to 50 mpg. You might flinch at its price — and we wouldn't blame you — but we think it's ultimately the best value in the Civic lineup.
