This is going to be my first car so I want it good.
How should I get it for the 2006 Civic.
I was thinking of buying the DX (I want it in Automatic) and buy better parts later like the electronics and w/e, all the good stuff.

Or should I get the Hybrid sedan?

Or hte Si, but I think its standard only?

Or a different car, period?

So which do you think I do? I think I should got practice on my standard skills.
And explain why I should get w/e u going to say.

you looking to modify down the road or just a nice car for your daily commute... If your looking for performance, you really ought to get the Manual Transmission.

I think you should buy an aerostar.

 

This doesn't really belong in the EG/EK forum. Try the EP forum here https://honda-tech.com/zeroforum?id=32.

However, I would recommend getting a manual transmission. It's fun to drive for one, and you can get better gas mileage.

The average MT driver gets worse mileage than the average auto driver.

if you know how to drive a stick properly you should be getting better gas mileage than an auto, thats why all epa mpg estimates are higher for manuals than autos. unless you ment that the average manual driver really doesn't know how to drive stick too well.

If you drive a manual transmission properly, you will get better gas mileage.

Where are your facts on that statement? Or is it just some random comment?

 

You should get a manual transmission. Also buy a used civic and save money. i think that getting a new car for your first is an bad mistake.

 

I know, I try telling my dad but he wants to get me a new car and not a used one so what can I say?

 

whats a standard?...i think you should buy a kia....j/k, buy that si...because its the top model civic and i want that engine

 

Whatever you do buy a 5 speed, you will like it 10x more in the future when you start modding your car

 

since you're obviously not concerned with ultimate performance out of the machine, and you obviously have too much money [brand new frist car, wtf?], I say go with a sedan and give it the mugen treatment

 

what is the specific reason you want an automatic?

 

Because thats what I know...but I'm trying to learn Manual, its fun to drive.

 

But I think I'll get auto and get stick later on in life. This is not a rush anyway.

Yes it is very fun to drive. If you are interested in going fast/engine mods which it doesn't seems like you are interested in, looks like you are more into the electronics and that hott *** underglow. I think you should just get the Hybrid sedan and save the civic si to someone who wants it Plus you will get great gas milage.
