i-Shift or no i-shift.
The main thing is that you've got a Civic.
You would have been probably very happy with the i-Shift, but as you have noticed on this site not every agrees about that bit.
I think it's great, loads think it's great.
......but you've made your decision -Civic.
At least you got that bit right.
.....Enjoy
