get the manual. Other than that You need to look at the differences in the models yourself. Not to sound like a deuche, but we arent going to give you a list of differences. We also dont know what you want, so to get the best idea of what you should get do research yourself. It all comes down to personal taste.

I have the auto with tip tronic and I don't really regret it when it comes to driving. I get a perfect launch every time!

The only time I regret it is when I envision forced induction...

Get the tiptronic and then do a VB upgrade, it blows the manual away.

Not because of anything special you are doing.

Manual = makes you feel proud when you get a perfect launch.
Auto = I suck at driving and need the car to do everything.

Since you are in a different country, you need to check what models are sold there. From what I've seen on here, models offered in other countries are not the same as offered here.

Most of us will tell you to get a MT.

If I had the money you supposedly have...I'd get an 08, and fully rebuild the engine for the greddy tt kit, or APS, never really thought about it, either way...one FAST car.


if money really isn't an issue...get the GTr lol.

I would recommend getting the z as long as it has Brembo brakes and the 6spd and bi Zenon headlights. it is a fantastic base to start with. interior, CD player, and seats can all be changed, the best bang for your buck. (IE: hunting season is over, so no banging your bucks.) Just do not get a Base or a tiptronic. I frown apon all people with a left foot that buy an automatic.

Whats up with that? I know about the K20 thing, there bada$$ engines but why.
Do you own a Z or RSX? would you trade your Z for a RSX?
If you want a K20 get a project civic and swap one in. But NO RSX Type S..........S for SLOW!!!!!
