Rather than Civic, I would go for CR-V. It looks nice, inside and outside, and is quite a pleasure to drive. Gas mileage is decent. It ranks at the top in resale value. And above all, it is very reliable.
Mazda 5 too is a nice option, more so if you have small children. It is a microvan, as opposed to minivan, so do not expect it to be roomy like Siena or Odyssey. It also does not have the power sliding door. But it's 4 cylinder engine is peppy, gives good mileage and is fun to drive. Moreover, you can get a loaded Mazda 5 for your budget.
