Good first manual car? Cefiro a32 or ek civic ???

I’m looking at get a cheap reliable car to learn manual in. I really like JDM cars and I’m currently looking at either a 1996 cefiro or a ek hatch civic. if you have any recommendations on what one would be better for learning manual and I would appreciate. I am also open to other car models that are good to learn manual in. Any tips? Thanks
