Civic and Altima are in two different segments, Civic in the compact and Altima in the mid-size. However, a lot depends on whether you're looking at a new one or a used one. The new Altima, from whatever I've seen, is a very good car, closer to the Maxima. But the earlier versions aren't so good. Civic is, however, a driver's car, one that is for an enthusiast. Can't say so much about the Altima though.
I'm in the market too, and I've been blown off by the dynamics of the Mazda 6. To me, the new accord is right behind the Mazda 6 and though the Camry is reliable, its a yawn! A boring car to drive.
Now answering your question very specifically, Civic is the best option if you are looking at a driver-oriented dynamically sorted car. But if its a family sedan, Altima is a better pick |
