I would go for the honda though if I had to. If you can swing it, the Nissan is a fantastic car. Its basically the same as my G35 Infinity which I cant say enough about.
i wanted to get her to get a Nissan 350z but she wanted the TC...the tc is still a great car for the money, but i really like the 350z

Gotta have somethin for the road trips, its going to be her car and she drives alot so she needs something reliable and good gas mileage, and she pays for her own gas most of the time so I am just a guiding hand. We went and looked at the civics and she loves them so most likely she will be getting a 4dr ex or the hybrid. The hybrid is a DOG but thats to be expected for 50mpg. The 2dr coupe was a joke to try and fit me in. Even with the seat layed back quite a bit my head was only an inch away from the ceiling. The 4drs are nice and roomy for a smaller car and the ex had a decent power for a four banger. I already told her I would tint the windows, put an alarm on it, cold air intake(for the mileage no ricer wings or fart cannons) and a system in it. I cant stand wanting to crank it up and getting the wonderful stock crackling and bottoming out cone sound. Thanks for all the suggestions but I think next weekend we are going to go order a civic and the insurance is cheaper than her truck too
