I am a mom of two young sons. I bought this car because I wanted something new and reliable but I was on a budget. This suited our needs as a family far better than any small SUVs that were in the same price range. The trunk space is HUGE and there is plenty of room in the backseat for my kids aged 3 and 5 (1 and 3 at the time of purchase). I drive a manual and it's a super fun ride when the kids aren't with me. Speeds up fast and the rims give it a super cute look. I also have a set of winter tires on separate rims because I live in northern Alberta. I was concerned about the clearance during our sometimes harsh winters, but it has never once failed me. Even though the exterior styling isn't as good as some of the jettas gone by, or even the city jettas, I love this car so much and hope to have it for many years to come.

I am a stay at home mom with two small kids and didn't think the cvic would be able to meet my needs (I owned it before becoming a mom). It fits our family of four with no trouble at all. I live in Edmonton, AB where the snow gets crazy sometimes and the cold is unbearable. My civic never failed me once. It has been a fantastic car and it's definitely bittersweet to get something new.
