You could buy a used Civic and sell it in 3 years and end up paying next to nothing. My personal belief is it only makes sense to lease high end cars, and generally when you change cars often anyway.
I don't think blowing 9k to lease a Civic is saving money.
I would choose option B but find a car that needs minimal TLC ( < $1k ) and drive the snot out of it, then get rid of it.
In fact it's not that much different from Option A. You should be able to find an early 2000's Civic or even Accord for $6k. Just don't buy one from a punk kid. Buy one from a family or old lady, and you'll most likely get a good example that hasn't been abused.
