Question 2015/16 Honda Civic Sedan Reviews Wanted

I am looking to buy a new vehicle in the upcoming weeks. My price range must stay below 20k. I think I have decided on the Honda Civic Sedan but would like feedback on safety features, rear-seating space (will have rear facing toddler for the next 2 years), handling (live in area with harsh winters) and overall comfort of vehicle as I don't want to buy a new car in 2 years because I hate this one.
If you would give this car a very poor review, is there one you would recommend instead that fits my price range and needs?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!

I wish I could give you a better bunch of info, but I am for sure drooling on the 2016 Civic hatchbacks coming out this fall so I'm a bit familiar with this model.

In any case, Hondas are notoriously reliable and are generally well-liked as far as driving dynamics. They err towards the "sportier" side so if you want a soft ride and soft steering this may not be for you. However, this is exactly how I like my cars to drive so I find it acceptable. I'm on my second Honda and I've had no significant issues with either that weren't caused by my neglect (I've taken much better care of the new car). I don't live in a snowy climate so I can't speak to winter driving, but I would speculate that it is about average in that department.

The new Civics are also pretty huge - I haven't yet been in one, but judging from exterior dimensions and reviews I've watched rear room should be good for a RF car seat.

As for cons, Hondas have pretty lousy rock hard seats and very thin paint that chips incredibly easy. Both are very annoying.

If you use car seats especially boosters, the rear seat could give you issues because if the head restraints.
