Still no CVT based Civic of either generation would make it into the top 3 of the MT section. This by itself is not amazing but you CVT guys have over 600 cars (over 400 Gen1 plus over 200 Gen2) and we have less than 100.

Re: Gen 1 Rulz!!
I tried to wait for a manual 06' but, was told it's not going to happen. I would say that the advantage the MT's had vs CVT/AUTO trannies is multiplied by people who can use them to the extreme. I am for the first time trying to get over 50mpg on a full tank of gas which alot of discipline is involved. I had a race with an Expedition early in the tank which dropped me from 54.7 to 51.1 this car is fairly quick(yes the hybrid won easily). Later in the tank I went to the movies in Rolling Hills estates which is on top of a mountain started at the bottom with 53.8 and reaching the top I was at 51.2. Coming back down the mountain got me back to 52.5. I drove from the LAX area to the valley through the Sepulveda pass during rush hour several times per week. Long story short it is only one way to give a good comparision on what each can do. MT vs CVT same route with the best drivers on a planned route(or a hybrids Olympics). I have no doubt that the MT will win but, by how much is the question.
