i am not very fond of JDMs though, as they are quite pricey for their age. auto is not my cup of tea
i was thinking of 05 civic too in manual, but people say that its mileage is low. as far as i have heard city new shape has the best mileage (13-14 in city driving), only idsi can compete it in mileage, swift manual etc have low mileage (10-12)
keep the suggestions coming friends, they help a lot
