Honda has $2500 cash back and 0.9% financing on the Civics. A mid level Civic SE is under $20K.

If they don't care about the car and just want an A to B car they should look to a ford focus or fusion. Way more car for the money  true. the focus is getting less uglier by the year. how's the reliability of Ford these days? problem with my friends is that since they're not car people, a lot of focus will be placed on how the car looks. we'll see. Thanks for the suggestions guys. keep 'em coming
2012 focus looks good...son!

I think with the new Jetta, there were a lot of silly things that they cut back. ie. Instead of hydrolics for the trunk lids, its back to springs and there isn't a hydrolic thing to keep the hood up. new Jetta is only shit for people who are concerned about handling and some extra features.
the base jetta is a daily driver car that they dumbed down a stripped out a lot of shit to get the price point down. my buddy has no idea the difference between rear disc vs rear drums. that's the one thing i know about the new jetta.

its a good chick car or a first car......Since the OP is incorporated, I don't think they need to start at the bottom of the barrel pricing wise. ive been seeing a ton of mazda 2's....all in that green colour.
i kinda like it *ducks*

Dude a solid rear beam isn't that big of a fucking deal, all the MK4's are solid rear beam and people rarely complain about it, OMG NO IRS 
If you want a base car for a good price, the new '11 Jetta owns.. Bigger then any of it's competition in the price range.
Once you step up to the TDI, you get rear disks and all the other options if needed.

Well fuck you, unless you hit the track with your car it doesn't mean fuck all  cranky this morning? I currently have a MKIV Jetta and a RWD car with IRS and on the streets there sure is one hell of a difference. If you care nothing about cars tho then who cares. I had a MKV Jetta too and if they really did take away stuff that they offered in the past then it's pretty lame.... Seems to be the trend however.
Unless you push your car to the limit there's no real way of "seeing" a difference. Reason why the bimmer drives so much better isn't just because it's RWD. The car has a great chassis which IMO, is the most important part. Overall driving dynamics on the bimmer is far greater than the past cars you have had so obviously it drives better. If the same bimmer came in fwd and for day to day driving you will not see any major difference between that and a RWD.

The MK4 Golf came from Mexico/Brazil and some GTI's from German. The City Golf is only built in Brazil. The new Jetta is from Mexico. The base 2.0 is a bit slow but very very reliable. I had one and never had an issue in 280000km. Just oil changes
