Its wide variety of trims range from luxurious to sporty. But the trunk is only average, and its base engine is underpowered. The Toyota Camry is a 5-seater vehicle that comes in 13 trim levels.

The Toyota Camry is a midsize sedan with plenty of room for five passengers. It has something for everyone with 13 trims that include two gas engines, a hybrid engine, and a choice of front-wheel or all-wheel drive.

No matter which you choose, the Camry is focused on passenger comfort with a welcoming interior swathed in attractive materials throughout. While some sedans have minimal rear-seat room, the Camry can comfortably seat three adults back there. It boasts a wide range of standard safety features along with a comprehensive infotainment system.

Downsides are an underpowered base engine and a small trunk that makes it difficult to accommodate luggage for those five adults.

The Altima has fewer trims with similar pricing and a less powerful engine. The Accord provides better fuel economy and more room for cargo. The Sonata has similar pricing and a lineup that includes both gas and hybrid engines. See owner reviews for Toyota Camry. The Honda Accord has been a perennial choice among families for decades, and that continued popularity is no fluke. The Accord is comfortable, practical, and has a real reputation for reliability.

Some midsize cars are a snooze behind the wheel, but the Accord shakes things up with sporty handling and refined powertrains. Modern safety tech comes standard. The Honda Accord is a 5-seater vehicle that comes in 9 trim levels. The most popular style is the Sport 1. See owner reviews for Honda Accord. The Toyota Avalon is a 5-seater vehicle that comes in 6 trim levels. See owner reviews for Toyota Avalon.

Offered in plug-in hybrid or hydrogen fuel cell variants, the Clarity offers unprecedented versatility. Its unique body styling helps improve gas mileage, while the ride is quiet and comfortable, even at highway speeds. Several driver safety aids are standard.

The Honda Clarity is a 5-seater vehicle that comes in 2 trim levels. This Clarity is estimated to deliver 42 MPG combined. See owner reviews for Honda Clarity. The Mitsubishi Mirage scores high marks for affordability, excellent warranty coverage, and ample cargo space. However, it has much less horsepower than rival models, and it trails its segment when it comes to refinement. The Mitsubishi Mirage is a 5-seater vehicle that comes in 4 trim levels. If your funds are limited, the Mitsubishi Mirage is priced to please; it's one of the most affordable new cars available, and it provides a strong fuel economy.

In addition, Mitsubishi's small hatchback impresses by offering more cargo space than many rivals. On the downside, the Mirage is notably less refined than the Hyundai Accent.

And this Mitsubishi trails its rivals in engine potency. For example, the Mini Hardtop offers an engine option with more than twice as much horsepower. Still, there's a lot to be said for a low price, a strong warranty, and good cargo capacity. These strengths make the Mirage an appealing fit for some buyers.

Nothing is startlingly new, but this Civic has enough improvements to give it an edge over the competition. The Honda Civic is a 5-seater vehicle that comes in 7 trim levels. The Honda Civic has been one of America's best-selling vehicles for years. It checks all the important boxes — economy, reliability, comfort, safety — that buyers want in a compact car.

And the special sauce is the Civic's fun-to-drive nature. From the bottom of the lineup on up, the Civic can put a smile on your face simply by the way it drives. And that's a claim few others in the segment can make. For years compact sedans and hatchbacks have been getting bigger, but the new-for Civic doesn't stretch the envelope much. It's less than 2 inches longer than the previous generation and it is exactly the same height.

Those seem to be the right dimensions because most compact cars mimic them almost exactly. The Asian brands have been so successful, they now have no domestic competitors and only one from Europe: the Volkswagen Jetta. Like its challengers, the Civic will seat five adults but is more comfortable with just four on board. It is currently available as a sedan only, but hatchback and performance models are expected.

The Kia Rio is a 5-seater vehicle that comes in 2 trim levels. See owner reviews for Kia Rio. With its affordable pricing, generous warranty coverage, and agreeable handling, the Hyundai Accent offers substantial value.
