Only problem is that you have to pay VTEC tax. Anything with vtec is worth it's weight in gold, so if you're just getting it for the sake of learning, i'd suggest getting some shitter, learn and sell it as a shitter. Shitters are attractive as runarounds and sell easily.

Provide VTEC?

Sticker with VTEC in it provides VTEC by the font size 72!

yeah if your only after a manual to learn in till you feel comfortable (which i assume is a short amount of time aka 1yr) id just buy a cheaper civic like an ek cxi/gli or some cheap run around so you can save more money for a decent car later.
I drove around in a 93 hyundai excel for 4 years while trying to save for a S2000 but someone crashed into it and wrote her off so i now have a s14 and im looking for a cheap civic as a daily drive. Im gonna own a S2k one day and ill be so so happy.

hatchback is the best learning car.
easy to park, easy to see where you are going and space.

EG would be the most cost effective option, they are cheap and parts are everywhere.

I could fit my shitbox eg in ANY spot lol

But seriously op, you can learn manual on any car. 4 guidelines I believe will help you in selecting one is.

1. Doesnt have to be a Honda
2. Preferably a shitbox, I guarantee you will stuff the gb and clutch up a bit.
3. Have someone calm and collected tutoring you.

All the wise men have spoken in this thread. Any car is great to learn manual. Make sure the clutch is nice and light, you dont want to have a super stiff clutch whilst learning *imo*

Sorry but I dont agree EG are cheap,at least not when theyre sold by honda people

They are overpriced 20yo economy cars...

If you can find one from a regular joe blow then maybe you can get a cheap one

If you compare to other brands for year made and cost its not cheap

You can get much later models in ford holden toyota for similar price

Just learn in the dc5r, you'll get it down in no time. Don't see much point buying a shitbox then having to sell it etc etc. If not just get couple of lessons with an instructor beforehand.
