Buddy if you are planning on spending 1 million on a car that is at present 11 and on the verge of being 12 years old, you are already in the budget of a 8th generation civic.
I have owned civics in Pakistan since the 5th gen. I currently own the 8th, it is a 2012 oriel and manual. And believe me when I say this, the 8th gen is miles better. It has ample performance, reliability, durability, breaking any man does she handle around the corners well.
The only issue I have with the 8th gen is the fact that it's maintenance is a tad pricy.
Consider your options between the 7th and 8th. And since you're asking for an opinion, I will have to lean towards the 8th gen, hands down.
At the end of the day, it's your money and you have to drive it. Good luck and drive safe.
