Let’s turn the clock back some five years ago. In 2018, I was 40 pounds lighter and working part-time as a motoring contributor to help me through graduate school. This was also the year that I started my racing career. 2018 was also when the cars in this list were showroom fresh.

So, to the question of practicality and spaciousness of the Honda Civic, it seems like a no brainer, but it is a relevant question. It is relevant because a car that is as wonderful as the Honda Civic can be a real temptation to someone who is already thinking of buying an SUV. Now, this is a NOT a no brainer.
