Not a lot will have changed to your prior ownership experience.
The 2018's ride a bit better as they softened up the dampers a tad.
If you opt for a six speed manual, the gearing is even shorter than it was previously. A tight ratio six speed will definitely perk up the feel of the engine compared to the auto.
The dip is there there. It is something you can work around as long as you actually drive the car. I only find it to be a problem if you sit in the dip and try to accelerate.
I'd suggest a test drive to see how it stacks up. The civic will have it beat on usable power in the mid range without question. But if you like to corner and feel the chassis communicate It can be worth the trade off.
The shifter feels good, very direct feel. The clutch is light[too light for me]. I solved that with a softer spring to stiffen it up.
