I have a soft spot for the 96-00 Civics.
Check for a crack in the exhaust manifold, right around the top-front oxygen sensor. It's right on top in front so it's easy to see. Not to bad to fix either - I think I paid ~150 for my new one and a few hours of work (rusty bolts were the worst part).
An automatic will get better highway mileage for normal drivers, but a manual allows much more in local driving.
