Not going to disagree with your assessment, but you may want to define early. The Civic Hatchback goes back to 1973!

Honestly (speaking from experience) I would go for either the fifth or sixth generations. Anywhere from '92-'00. Very reliable and cheap to maintain. Parts are a dime a dozen and anyone can work on them with a little bit of knowledge.

Stunned that nobody has come up with what is, in retrospect, the perfect answer:
RWD, roomy, comfortable, and, for a musician, a real chick magnet (if you're attracted to tattooed girls in dorky glasses and combat boots with pierced noses and a strong affection for irony and ugly crap). Also dirt cheap, and already in the process of returning itself to the earth. Perfect! |

Hyper-milers prefer the 92-95 Honda civic VX.

I have been looking for one of those (the car not the girl) for a weekend toy for a while now. In fact that one would do nicely. Mind you it would not be like that when I was done with it. The only problem is that around here a decent one is far from dirt cheap and they are few and far between.

Hey guys, I'm back! Sorry to abandon you all for a bit there. Had to do some band/musician stuff. Anywho, thanks so much for the suggestions! The goal of this post for me was to get some options I couldn't think of myself, so thanks so much for broadening the horizons a bit. There's definitely a lot of great suggestions in here! I hope this thread will stick around for a bit and maybe help another future buyer who realizes his dream car might be slightly out of reach (at least for now) as well. I kind of forgot about the RSX, that may be a serious option. I've always loved those, and I actually learned how to drive stick on one too. You guys are great. And don't worry, I'll get my 86 eventually

I would NOT be looking at an 86 if you need room in the back.
Yes, you can fit things. No, it isn't simple or easy like it would be with a hatch or a small SUV. I've put a 100Qt ice chest w/ ice/food/beer, clothes, and camping gear in mine and it pretty well filled the back. It also handled like it had a full 100Qt cooler in the back. Probably my choice would be WRX 5 door. |

Take out the spare and the tools. You'll have lots more room for carrying stuff.
