Hey fellas,
I have a few quick questions and I want to get some opinions on and make sure I know what I am talking about. I have a great toyota tacoma but recently got a job where I am driving 70 miles round-trip (60 miles is highway), so the 17 mpg isn't going to cut it anymore. Thus, I decided I needed to get something much more economical but I still want something fun. I have never driven a manual but have had motorcycles and think I will love it, so after much consideration a manual civic seems to be my best bet after a ton of research. I like the hatch sport the best, but not ruling out the SI quite yet as there are many more used SI as opposed to manual sports. I know they just came out with a new 2020 hatch but not sure if I understand all of the differences. So the 2017-2018 models had no apple play, while the 2019-2020 models do correct? Is that the only real difference (besides the sight stuff which I do not care about at all)? And the 2017-2019 SI all had apple play, or was it just the 2019? If I can get a 2017 hatch with 20-30k miles for 17,000 is it worth it opposed to 20-21k for a new bare bones 2019? Should I just go for a used 2017/2018 SI which will probably be the same price as a used manual sport hatch as they are much rarer? Any and all opinions are great! Sorry for the wall of text and I really appreciate any and all help!
