Honda Civic coupe or coupe si?
im an 18 year old female trying to decide what car i should buy when february hits because that's when i'll have 6 months of credit history. i really like the 2015 honda civic coupe si. i love everything about it. from exterior to interior. except its manual and i dont know how to drive stick. im willing to learn. but im not sure if driving it will eventually get annoying later on?? idk if i should just take the regular coupe automatic and pay to throw on the spoiler and modify the interior to make it look like the si. help. i need opinions.

Back up a step - going into debt at such an early age is a bad idea, and taking out a car loan is the worst form. It will be a large expense just as your living costs skyrocket. Worse, you are forced by the contract to maintain full coverage on the vehicle. (Always, *always* get an insurance quote before putting money on any car!) Expect to pay $700 or so per month (may be between $500 and $1500 per month, mostly depending on insurance) for the car and there is nothing you can do about it. You can't sell the car until you are 21 or 22 because you will owe more than the car is worth. Losing your job would become a financial catastrophe. You have to pay - if you fail, the car will be repossessed, wrecking your credit and putting you deeper in debt because you will be court ordered to pay off the loan plus repo and court expenses.
I know it sounds like a slasher movie but it is a common occurrence, and we see it here a lot. Check out the desperation of the poor unfortunate souls in the sources. Don't buy a car you can't pay cash for - auto loans are for people who can't support their family without a car and they don't have the money saved up - and that almost certainly means an older used car. I have had three new cars in 47 years of working; the first one I saved up and paid cash for.
When buying a used car, the insurance quote requirement still stands but the quotes will be a lot lower if the car is not worth collision insurance. Always have a prospective used car inspected by your mechanic before you put money on it; it can and often does save you thousands in unpleasant surprises. See the last source for somebody who recently learned that the hard way.
If you buying a new one go with Hyundai there are car like i30 , Verna , creta , tuscon , you really like and I'm sorry if you want to want a used car I can't tell anything I don't know much about that , but Honda civic is also a great car but is I think old now
manual transmissions will last you longer, but look into Kia Soul. I got one and love it. Its worth a look see.
thats what i would do .. stick can become easy but an auto is alot less to worry about for sure .. yes, you can add on the options ..
Sounds like you d be better off with the automatic.
