2017 Hyundai Elantra. It has an incredible amount of technology. MSRP for the fully loaded version is $26,750. You should be able to get one for under $25k. For that price you get not only comfortable seats, but adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, autonomouse emergency braking with pedestrian detectection, 8 inch nav screen with backup camera, heated seats front and rear, HID headlights, panaramic sun roof, dual zone climate controls, premium sound system with sat radio and so much more. A Civic at that price won't have anywhere near the features.

Versa is taller and comfortable..Seats are comfy. Gets around 40 mpg on highways.

Jetta 1.8 was also handling very well than the Versa, most comfortable seats.

Comes with all sorts of standard features that used to only be found on luxury makes like power folding mirrors. Option for heated and cooled driver's seat. Heated steering wheel etc. Checks off all your list there, adjustable armrest, cruise control, and sat radio.
i drive my wifes 2015 Kia Forte Koup and im 6'2. Awesome car and Kia really stepped up their game now, even consumer reports rates them as good as Honda now

An issue with this is many seats have airbags in them nowadays. So you're losing some safety features by swapping them.
