I'm a 17 year old guy and im taking my drivers test after winter and well my parents told me to plan on the car so i can get it in the summer. i've worked and saved enough for a 2012 honda civic or a toyota corolla s. I really wanted a civc si but my dad dsnt want me driving a manual transmission car and its about $7000 more than the regular civic. so i have to avoid that car now unless i magicly come up with $7000 more lol. so civic or corolla?

also if you choose the 2012 civic, which one? sedan or coupe?'

and i'm a guy if that even helps....
