Before my vic I had a Monte Carlo (97). The civic is so much better. I had to drive the monte carlo yesterday (still have it) and it's like driving a tractor compared to the civic.

Yeah but still rentals have such low mileage. So cars are sold real quick.

Before my 'vic, I had a 1989 Ford Econoline, and a 1997 Mercury Grand Marquis. I love my civic...there is no comparison.

As for rentals, I've never had one. My bud's car got totalled in an accident and the rental he got was some extremely low-end Kia...what was he driving before the wreck? A 300zx(it's ok, he's now rolling around in a Mitsu 3000GT).

Had to rent a chevy cavalier... lawnmower. Steering was weird.... Ugh... lousy car. I don't know how anyone would buy that after testdriving it.

Then a toyota corolla, (2005) OK car, very on par with the civic sedan in general fit and options. Nice car all around for an econo box. Still like the Civic better.

psh i wish i had a rental that nice when i got in my car accident, i had a sebring, couldn't see over the hood, i hit my head, it was SLOW, coming from a auto civic owner, that means it was damn slow, my friend weighs like 260 and i weigh 200, when we were both in that car it didn't move
