Check out the Honda Fit!...the stick is a thousand bucks cheaper than the auto...
Legroom on the Honda Fit and 8th Generation Civic "2006 & 2007" are not that great. If it had been I would of bought one already. I have a 93 Civic 4 door LX and it's the legroom champ. Noticeably more legroom than the newest Accords. We test drove a Fit and a 2006 Civic last spring and it was a big relief to get back into my 1/4 million mile 93 Civic.
The 5th generation Civics with auto transmission do not have the left foot rest pedal and your left leg can really stretch out. 6th gen Civics 96-2000 are a bit less legroom. 2001-2005 7th generation are very good on legroom. Current Civic generation lacks in legroom by a noticeable amount. Leg room spec for all model is roughly the same on paper but not in the real world.
