- 2011 civic lx sedan
I went and test drove an lx hatchback with the 6mt at one of the dealerships here in Fort Worth and I have to say after not driving a manual for over 4 years I was VERY impressed by where the gearshift sat, how light the clutch was, and how short the gears are. it shifts smoother than the 8th gen automatic I'm currently driving. I only got into 6th once on the short drive but the gearing felt perfect. The only complaint I have is that I knew more about the features than the salesman who didn't even know that the '17's were coming with a MT on the ex (coupe and sedan). I understand that that most salesman are not enthusiasts but I feel that they should know the same if not more than someone who dabbles in online forums. However when I asked about the si's he said that it would be more than 200 hp but couldn't/didn't know if it was going to be a 1.5t, 2.0t or if it would be available in a hatch. which that's probably Honda's fault for playing everything so close to the chest here.
