my sincere suggestion, go for City I-vtec...its very nicely powered car and u wud love its drive. it would be relatively new, hence less trips to the mechanic, PLUS, 3-4 years down the road, civic would be way too old and badly lose its value. moreover, city is extremely light on ptrol and u can easily get 13-14 km/liter with AC on in local (with very light foot that is). my suggestion, City
