Tough Decision

I'm looking at 3 different options to rejoin the civic X club.

2020 Civic Si 24.3k
2019 Civic Sport Sedan Manual 20.6k
2020 Civic Sport Hatchback 22.4k

Tough decision for me. I'm almost leaning towards the sport manual because of the lower price and would prefer a manual. I can see the utility of the hatchback. The downside is I can't find any manual sport hatchbacks around me. I'm just not sure if I can justify the Si price difference.

Manual hatches will be relatively hard to find. If you really want a manual, I think the upgrade to an Si is worth it... and there's much more availability. As far as utility, you might be surprised how much you can haul with the back seats down in an Si sedan. Plus the upgraded power, handling and interior features like better seats over the Sport hatch are worth it.

Should've made this a poll, mate!

The 2020 Si refresh has added some pretty good options for 2Gs more, and even then, you could probably negotiate for $24 OTD (depending on your situation). I vote for the Si!
