Internet is simply a medium from which the quote is delivered. Whether I received a quote via email or over the phone or in person is besides the point. My last car purchase, 2 years ago, was an email quote which I shopped around to other dealers (two dealers beat it ... $1000 below Truecar quote). It doesn't take much effort to shop a quote.
If you think you can get 20% off on the Civic..... yeah, good luck with that. LOL
Our local Hyundai dealers are offering brand new 2015 Sonata SE sedans for $17,986. May be worth the drive to get one.

I was thinking about a 2015 corolla or civic, but I'm not sure.

I have next to zero mechanical aptitude, which is why I am thinking about a new economy car like the corolla and civic. The other cars in their class don't do much for me.
Can anyone give me their feedback? If anyone has a 2015 corolla or civic that would be even better.
The Corolla or Civic would be your best buy. They are both ultra reliable, and will reward you with years of excellent service. Drive each and buy the one you like best. I did that, and decided on the Corolla.
I like Hondas. Civic is a great car. So is the Corolla.
Best value (IMHO): buy it new, enjoy the new car smell, maintain it well, keep it clean, drive it until you have 200k+ miles.
I got the manual. The auto has some pretty mixed reviews, so I just avoided the issue and went with the tried-and-true 5spd they've been using since the mid90s.
The engine is just whatever is standard in the SE/SEL. I'd have to look it up...

2015 Hyundai Sonata if your area is running sales like ours is. They have new ones for $17,986 for a base SE. Not sure if that is a cash out the door price though.
I was paying cash and the dealer demanded that I fill out a credit application citing The Patriot Act. Of course nothing in the law cites credit application being required for car purchase. Just another BS from dealers to run your credit for financing purposes.
Cripes, why do they have to tell such an obvious lie?
