Is anyone else as heartbroken as I am that a manual transmission is only offered on the base trim? I was almost looking forward to the sedan, making it easier to load/unload my 2 kids and carseats. I really hope they make a stick available for the coupe at higher trim options, otherwise my 03 civic will be my last civic

 

people want paddle shift because civics are really high end sports cars in there minds. whats wrong with your 03 why do you need a new car civics last forever especially manuals if you maintain them properly.

 

That is definitely sad. Not all people like to drive an automatic tranny.

 

Right now she needs a lot of work. Mostly in the front end, but it's work I need to put off to pay other bills and I'm looking at it costing as much if not more than its worth right now.

 

if money is an issue then why are you looking at a brand new car ???

 

I think it was just stupid, they had it on the LX and EX last year, the Si also had it. I think it's depressing, even though the EXL only comes with a CVT, which I have, but my Honda obsession is starting to fade away because of that.
