We have a newish civic, it's reasonably economical with a good kit list but not fast in any meaningful sense and I prefer driving my inlaws 15-yr-old Audi A4 estate for long runs.
Good luck finding a bike rack but you can fit one bike in the back without emptying the boot, as the seats fold up.
Honda Civic has just come back into the mix.
Audi had just been flatly rejected. "They're estate agent cars. People that drive Audis have gelled hair."
