The 6 speed gear box is the one reason I bought another Honda. I enjoy driving MT, I wish more Auto manufactures offered them in more models. I don't care much for the Automatic transmission but I really dislike the CVT in almost any thing.

The Honda Hatchbacks might be in some major trouble.. Definitely not good news.
Hummm, Why would you not just Buy Type-R if you want more power under the hood of a Civic ? Most Honda Civic's have always been Sporty, Not high performance sports cars.
