Be open to all three. Don't pay too much attention to the source, more to the actual car. I tested out cars from all three sources but, as luck would have it, zero'ed in on the first Honda certified car I saw.

I was speaking in terms of the gentleman's i10. Also, wanna bet on retro-fitting headers onto the R18?

Could be the AT. My driving style revolves around engine braking. Yet, I just love the Civic's brakes. Excellent pedal modulation, strong anchors, perfectly tuned ABS and they hold well against fade.

Used cars come with an element of risk. Else, everyone would be buying used and we informed petrolheads wouldn't get such deals in the first place, would we? As long as the right precautions are taken (listed in our used car buying article), you will have absolutely no problem. Knowledge, experience & effort make the difference between a good deal and a bad. On Team-BHP, you have free access to the first two, the third is entirely dependent on you.

My daily driver has to be a Honda or Toyota. There's a good chance that my next buy could be a certain Toyota SUV

Just wanted your advice though, the next car i want would be an Automatic only. So do you think i'll get a good condition Corolla or Civic as i was just thinking, and i may be wrong here. I feel i'll get a better used automatic than a manual as the engine would not have been strained due to the automatic changing which avoids erratic revving. Please do correct me?

You surely won't get one with an abused clutch, I can tell you that!! I'd partially agree with you as an AT (even with manual controls) would have spent most of its life in AT mode. The number of enthusiasts who would run the AT to the redline would be outnumbered by regular-Joe owners. As Immortalz posted, pay the most attention to how the car was maintained.
