I drive an 07 civic. No complaints here. It is the non-hybrid model and it is pretty much all standard, no extra features.
EDIT: you shouldnt buy your car based on a poll.

Why not? It's what people do based on consumer opinion, why not here? Do people that use Ubuntu seem less qualified drivers? :)

07 Civic here ... love every minute I drive it. I seriously doubt you will regret it. Also, for future interests, try Fuelly, www.fuelly.com (http://www.fuelly.com) to keep up with your fuel mileage.

I voted for the Toyota. I personally like the new styling of the Corolla better than the civic. But it would be nice to see the Corolla get back to its roots (AE86). I am a rice head at heart.

I bought an 08 Civic back in February. Aside from the engine being a bit weak, it's been a good car. Handles nicely, easy steering, and Honda did a great job maximizing the interior space.

because there are many other things you should consider. I mean it doesnt hurt to check with other people but dont just make a poll and pick the one that wins. Your personal needs may make one better than the other.

For me, the cheaper one.
But I would not be looking at new cars since I want cheap. I'm looking to get a '99 accord at the moment.
I prefer toyota over honda, but you can't go wrong with either of those cars. Right now I think is a bad time to buy a car unless you really need one. In some odd years we should have some breakthrough, but that might be the lifetime of a car too.
Sigh. I loved gasoline until it cost $3.50 (lowest price I saw today was $3.46)

Actually its a pretty darn good time to buy one in the States. Sales are really sluggish and so dealers are making crazy deals and taking anywhere between $10,000-$20,000 off the sticker. Nissan was taking $15,000 of the Altima back in July.

I would take the Toyota.
But if it was my money I would look for a good second hand one.
In the UK you can usually find good three year old cars at half the price of a new one.
If it's a three year old Toyota or a Honda it will easily have five years of trouble free motoring left in it.

If that's US dollars you're almost getting it free.
Here in the UK it's £1.10 (US $1.95) a litre.
There's roughly four litres in a US gallon, how does US $7.80 a US gallon sound?

Or even better/worse, here in Holland it's around $2.30 a litre...

Ya they do give you crazy deals... they gave us a free spoiler if we bought it that night... They were literally begging us to buy it lol... we also got a power train and transmission life time warranty...
