I'm between a Toyobaru BR86 and a new manual Civic hatch.

Both are terrible choices. Get a Mustang GT or Challenger R/T. Then you don't have to sacrifice practicality for performance like Jap cars.

why not go for the hot shot honda civic hatchback turbo manual? brz/frs was so last year

>>16134107

I've never cared much for American muscle. Too fuel inefficient and unnecessarily big. Going fast in a straight line doesn't appeal to me much.

Turbo manual sounds very fun and practical to me. That's definitely the trim I would go for.

Seattle traffic inbound starts to get bad about 445 around seatac. If you're in the thick of it daily, don't bother with a manual, you will hate yourself.

He wants performance and practicality.

If the Prius had more power I might consider it desu.

>Is it worth throwing away practicality for fun handling / great styling?s
Yes.

If it pains you so get the 86/BRZ and buy a cheap shitbox Civic off Craigslist if you really need something practical too.

Civic beat both of your amerilard cars around the burgerking

It's a civic

Literally the definition of practical for OP's situation

Something I'd be worried about in general if I did get a newer car that I'd want to take care of: random cosmetic damage.

Is it as common in the city as people say it is? I feel like I see plenty of flawless nice cars everywhere I go. What if cosmetic damage does end up happening? Do I just have something on hand at all times to deal with things like that? That seems really shitty.

why not wait for the new Civic SI?

>buying a new econobox or a shitty toyobaru
I sure hope you guys don't do this

If they announce anything by the time I'm in the market for a new car I'll consider waiting. A lot of me doesn't want to spend what will probably be $30k+ on one though. I'll see though. I absolutely love the TypeR but I think that will be over $40k right? Maybe the SI would be a nice middle.

>Maybe the SI would be a nice middle.
I think so, the Type R will definitely be pretty pricey, and the styling is a bit much.

For me the styling is what really sells it for me. I love how over the top, striking, polarizing it is. People hate and people love it. I'm probably some ricer shitlord at heart and maybe that's why it appeals to me. For me though it'll be performance, practicality, AND styling. And if I had the money it'd be too good to pass up. There's a small part of me that wants to say 'fuck it' and sit in a shitbox for another year until the TypeR is available because I really do love everything about it.

>Retards talking shit about the Toyobaru
Having driven both, the 86 is a much better ride, and the Civic doesn't have much more space to make up for it. Get the 86.
