Why should I also consider these?
The Mazda3 has a reputation for the best handling in this class; there’s a new Mazda3 arriving as an early ’10 model, and it’s even better in refinement and interior materials.
The Toyota Corolla is new for the 2009 model year and gets more refined and more expensive, though base versions can have a plasticky interior.
The Ford Focus was restyled for the 2008 model year, and while most reviewers think it's a step backward, the Focus has new features like Ford's SYNC entertainment and hands-free phone controller.
Finally, shoppers of standard-version Civic sedans owe it to themselves to check out the Hyundai Elantra sedan, which is arguably a step above the Corolla in refinement, yet roomier and more comfortable than the Civic.
