These seem like the most popular picks for young adults out there. I’m in my early 20s and would like to retire my first car been driving it for 7 years and have around 220k miles on it. I didn’t care about maintenance so rust has taken it over.

When I look around, my peer group and age mates all purchase either a Honda civic or a Toyota Camry and I’m wondering if their popularity is justified for a reason I’m unaware. Also are there any recommendations for a sedan? My old car is a Mazda and it quite literally feels like the car runs on water the way it’s so smooth, light and fast to drive. I’d be looking for a vehicle with a similar feel when I hit the gas and turn the wheel.

Thank you!
