The Civic hatchback is a no-brainer upgrade over the sedan, if you ask us. For an extra thousand bucks, you can have a much more versatile body style that's incidentally five inches shorter than the sedan, so it's not only more capacious, it's also easier to park.
We love that Honda offers a manual with the base 2.0-liter engine, but you have to pay more for the Sport trim to get the stick, and the Sport brings with it larger wheels that drag the fuel economy down (it's mostly the stick that's less efficient, but the wheels also hurt slightly). Compared to the base Civic hatch with the 2.0-liter engine and the CVT, you're giving up 4 mpg combined, which is more than 10 percent.
The 1.5T Civic hatch is a bit of a stretch compared to its sedan counterpart, adding $1,700 relative to the cheapest 1.5T sedan (which is the EX trim). But the cheapest 1.5T Civic hatchback is the EX-L trim, so you do get leather upholstery for your extra cash. Of course, you also get the hatch's hugely improved practicality and shorter body for easier maneuvering.
The Civic hatchback 1.5T with the stick shift comes only in top-of-the-line Sport Touring trim. That makes it a challenging proposition relative to the Civic Si sedan, which stickers for almost three grand less while making a bit more power. We'd emphasize "a bit," though, as in the real world, the manual 1.5T hatch should generally feel like an Si hatchback in stealth mode. We'd also note that the manual Civic Sport Touring hatch is a compelling alternative to the pricier Acura Integra A-Spec w/Technology 6MT. All three cars share the same basic engine and transmission.
If you want a Type R, there's probably no way we can talk you out of it. Perhaps the best argument against this car is that a garden-variety Mk8 GTI with the manual transmission (which goes away after this year, we should add) will nip at the Type R's heels for many thousands less, and it boasts the additional advantage of not having a massive rear wing. But if you like the wing then sure, we get it. The Honda should hold its value a lot better, too.
