You can get a 1st gen Yaris for rather cheap and as long as it hasn't been in any accidents and there is not rust or rot the mileage really doesn't matter, plus both the engine and transmissions are only about $400 each.
Add an inexpensive suspension and it can be really fun to drive and you've maybe spent $6k or so if you splurged on one that has less than 100,000 miles.
And if you really want to mod it there are quite a few options. There are a handful of 500 hp Yaris running around, most seem to be in Thailand.

Its because due to the market and safety standards, the more modern civics are more like accords of before; larger, more weight (relative), etc.
Enthusiasts miss the 90's civics of small, light, fun (subjective). People are still having fun with the civics of today but its just not the same.
So close to getting an EK after looking at the s2000 but due to theft concerns, I settled for the more modern FRS
