I'm looking for a car around the same price range as OP, what are people's thoughts on the civic hybrid? Also what about a Mazda?

If you have to deal with snow, how about a Subaru? The Outbacks are nice, and the Impreza's are relatively cheap and they are all AWD. I live in snow country and half the cars here are probably Subaru.

I test drove a civic and thought it was pretty slow and not much fun to drive.

Also, the reason hyundais have so many luxury-ish features for so cheap is because they have no engine either.

I just bought a Mazda3 a couple of months ago. Decent handling, good milage, and a nice assortment of features. What sealed the deal for me was the 36/month 1.9% Mazda was offering.
