Over the summer I bought a '95 ex coupe 5spd. The low miles (86k) basically sold me on the car, even though it needed some comestic work. I really enjoyed my car until I just got tired of the stick shift. I worked two jobs over the summer and driving from my first job to my second job took about one hour, if not more in rush hour traffic. At that point, I became really irritated with driving it, so I decided to get a '95 ex coupe auto. Now that the summer is over and I'm back at college, I really want my 5spd back. There is no rush hour traffic here and I know that I'd get better gas mileage out of my 5spd. The only good thing about me purchasing my auto is that its in a lot better condition than the 5spd and was a lot cheaper. Overall, I'm very happy with my car because I saved a lot of money, but now I really wish it was a 5spd. The funny thing is, if it were a 5spd, I'd probably be complaining that I want an auto. I guess I just want both an auto and a 5spd, and then I won't get tired of either one. Hopefully over this next summer, I'll find a manual CRX or something and then I'll also keep my auto civic, and then I'll have both. I just needed a place to vent.. I feel better now.

 

good luck finding a crx. there harder to find and more truble than most think.... but i wouldnt mind one myself.

 

Speaking of CRX my father-in-law is going to be rebuilding a 88-89? CRX, I'm gonna try to convince him to do a manual tranny swap and sell it to me for cheap like 1.5k, ohh the things I'll do if I get that. Definately swap in a B series and boost.

 

Well, It's not that I want a CRX, it was just a thought.. I wouldn't mind having another civic, an accord, or an integra either.
I just want a 5spd. It has to be a Honda/Acura car though.

 

NSX LOL

 

just do an auto to manual swap. If you do your reasearch, you can probably have it done for like 500 bucks.

 

I'd rather keep my auto, but also get a manual.
I get bored with just an auto..
and sometimes I get irritated with just a manual.

 

It seems like you need get a manual. How about a 21 speed bike? LOL!

 

Personally I think CRX's are ugly goofy looking little cars, but I can certainly understand why they are so popular from a performance standpoint

 

then maybe you should buy something with a slapstick
