Yeah. I test drove a CPO CTS-V Sport… thinking it was going to replace the GenX. It was about 35k and they offered me 22k for the Civic at 3 years old and 30k miles… when I’d spent 23.5k total.I wanted one also. My buddy has one, great car. I was looking to test drive a green manual after work but by the time I got out of work the car was sold. None of the others in the area were manual so I wasn't interested. It's what lead me to getting a Mustang since the Camaro, while tempting, has such poor visibility.
I was so pumped and figured it was a no brainer. Car had too many issues as a CPO and, like it’s Camaro roots, it was kind of like being in a bathtub so far as visibility. Rear seating was way smaller than a GenX… closer to a Gen 9. Had to pass.
I really wanted an SS. Gen X was settling since a manual SS wasn’t going to happen… *just* to keep a fun manual car. It was priced right and a good step up from a gen 9 but I was interested in getting back to a bigger car. Then again, the Civics these days are the size of Accords a couple decades ago… and the Accords are more in-line with Avalons than Camrys… so… yeah…
