The Honda Civic isn't what it used to be, but in order to keep sisters-in-law happy, you need something reliable and not completely soul-sucking to recommend to them. Yesterday, we asked Jalopnik readers for their new recommended rides and here are their top ten Honda Civic alternatives.

Welcome back to Answers of the Day — our Jalopnik summer feature where we take the best ten responses from the previous day's Question of the Day and shine it up to show off. It's by you and for you, the Jalopnik readers. Enjoy!
