The new Civic? Corolla? Camry? Accord?

Without much information it's hard to give recommendation.

If your long drive is over 100km one way, forget about Tesla or any BEV
Before you speak: THINK
T = is it True?
H = is it Helpful?
I = is it Inspiring?
N = is it Necessary?
K = is it Kind?

Thank you.
You only have 3 requirements: fuel efficient, great lease rate, and "great" for long driver (it can mean many different things to different people)?
What about cargo capacity, seats, leg room, budget, insurance, etc...

It met OP's 3 requirements. Do you have anything better?

How the hell did this one become a 'classic RFD automotive downvote party' ?

But yes... to the OP... The Mazda 3 has Civic like vibes economy car wise. But is kind of sport in its styling and handling. That is one car that you can cross shop if you want to try something new... theres so many trim levels. You can get something very basic like your Civic. or go all out with Turbo AWD for $36k and have something that can stay toe to toe with entry level luxury sedans.

Thank you for this. Just looking for something new to try for the next few years. I don't know much about cars but will look into Mazda 3.

What sort of driving do you do? More city or more highway? For me even though its going away, the Mazda 6 was a really nice cruiser when I was using it for 2 months. Because its going away due to weak sales, you might get a really good deal if you negotiate hard. Only thing I didn't like was its city fuel economy is kind of bad, I got 10/100L km which for a car is not so great but sadly its still way more efficient than any CUV I've monitored data for. The other thing that sucked about my unit was the infotainment, pretty slow on start up, seems like it takes more than a minute or two to even begin doing things.
