Default possibly a dumb transmission question but please help
I'm wondering what's the better option for my transmission? I have a civic ex with an automatic transmission. I want to turn it into a manual transmission but I don't know if its better to alter it in the car now or just get a new car all together that has a manual transmission. What should i do?

Get a manual Civic. It's a pain to convert.

most of the time it's easier to just switch cars.

the hardest part is the pedal swap IMO.

Usually, you can sell the automatic car and buy a manual one and break even.
