If the Tc is in that price range..then thats a steal. Go with that. The corolla and the civic are both good cars though. I'd rank them 1. tC 2. Civic 3. Corolla
But they're all really good for that price range, can't go wrong.

RSX starts @ $20K, so it's out. Check the Scion TC as has been posted.

I think TC's are in the $16k range and I have a friend who sells them and he says that Scion are with no negotiation. I think the xB and xA are in his range. Was there anything in particular you wanted your DD to be?

You can guys can stop saying TC. TMV pricing and MSRP are $16k.

I'd spend the xtra grand and get the TC if you only want a new car. It has a great safety rating all round, better than both the corolla and civic and most compacts without side impact air bags. It has more power, standard abs, think its the best value and won't feel like a low end car when driving which means a lot on a daily basis.

I like the corolla over the civic, its more powerful and more comfortable but its hard to find a lower end model with abs, with civic ex or corolla abs you end up spending 16-17k which leads back to the tc.

Used you could pick a camry le with abs or accord for 12k with 25k miles which is still brand new, something to think about considering its more car- more comfortable, quiter, etc.
