While not as hip as some other small cars, the Civic offers attractive styling, good performance and the one thing parents worry most about with teen drivers: safety. An affordable base price, very good resale value, excellent fuel economy and low emissions also make the Civic an excellent choice for parents and teens. The non-Si model has the right amount of power – 140 ponies – for inexperienced drivers. With sure-footed handling, antilock brakes and six airbags – all standard – the Civic doesn’t compromise safety for price. Teens want mobility and parents want their kids as safe on the road as possible -- Civic delivers.
