I beg to defer to the statement "You will have more fun in driving Eclipse than civic. If it is manual , I will prefer Eclipse than Civic". Civic has two options 1.8L and 2.0L Vtec engine. If you go with the 2.0L Vtech engine with manual transmission they are much more fun to drive than an Eclipse. The 4 cyl eclipse seems very heavy meaning the engine is underpowered for the size and weight of the body. The 6 cyl may give you more power but you could get similar or better "Pep" with a Civic for better gas efficiency. You may also want to try the RX-8. A rotary engine and only a 1.3L size awesome handling. A pickup like no other in its class. Nothing compared to RX-7 but they don't make those anymore.
If I had to choose between the three I would go with a Civic, followed by RX-8 and than maybe an Eclipse but thats just me.
If you do buy a 2.0L Vtec Civic you may want to get atleast 18" rims and Z rated tires for summer. You will love the ride.
Caution: A full coverage insurance is high for Civics because it is the most stolen vehicle in the US.
