Of these two, what would you want? Options

I'm nearing new car purchace time if things go well the next couple months, so anyone with unbiased opinions, I'd love to hear them I'm staying manual transmission, btw...

Personally I'd go with the new civic coupe. I like the tc and all, but some options will push its price straight through the ceiling and I despise that pure pricing policy. Neither car is not that much fun to drive for me, as the tc feels like driving a camry with slightly heavier steering modulation and the civic feels like every civic I've driven before. Both cars are slower than death with automatic trannys, but with a manual the civic feels peppier because you can always feel how much heavier the tc is in its driving dynamics. The civic has a classier interior that looks and feels better to the touch, the tc has a nice center console, but everything else is made from hard rough cheap feeling plastic and that paper thin headliner and flimsy shade covers should not even be in 16k car. The tc has more interior space, but the civic has a larger/more usable trunk. Aftermarket for both should be pretty good, but to me the new civic looks better and seems to be better bang for the buck than the tc.
