TestDrove LX Coupe WTF???????

Well I plan on Buying a civic coupe!!
I went to the dealer to test drive a new 2004 vic coupe lx manual!
As i am driving I cant seem to get the car into second gear(Clutch all the way Down to the floor!) as I finaialy do get it into 2nd gear, The car jerks forward and the Gear just goes into nutreal!!

The sales person who I was driving with said I couldn't f*cking drive stick for ****!(Drove stick for 3 years), so I tell the him to drive the car back!!!
So he is very eager the sell the car to me, so he starts showing off his shifting skills (has none what so ever)
I notice that he forces the the shifter into second! I hear a shitload of grinding then bam it pops out and the car stalls.
Well, I am looking at the idiot and his just like, ohh I havent driven stick for a while!!
So what do i do, I get one of thier mechanics test drive it with him and he says that the car does have some type of problem!!!(BRAND NEW CAR, 0 Miles before I test drove it)
So I go to the sales person and as the f*cker why he tried to sell me a ****ed up car!!
The f*g starts making up excuses that he didnt know the 04s had the same problems as the other cars blah blah blah a bunch of bull ****!!!

So they offer me a deal for another 2004 Civix LX(yes LX Manual) 11,900

Should I get it?????

Well...I don't have a Manual but as you can see in this forum, a lot of people are having problems w/ mostly 7thgen Manuals. Honda cars used to be the top of the line quality car. Now, it is no difference to drive a Ford and a Honda.

Yes, I totally agree with all the people in this forum that Honda is no longer as reliable as it used to be.
