Default Econobox research

Okay, so we're looking into getting another car since our Mazda is getting closer to death with each passing day. And by "closer to death" I don't just mean it's falling apart, I mean I may put a brick on the gas pedal and run the goddamn thing off a cliff because I'm so fed up with it. So anyway...

We're looking into econoboxes that get good mileage, like maybe a late 90s/early 00's Honda Civic. Laura likes them because they're "cute" & get good mileage. I like the thought because what little I've read about them says that they're reliable (which means I won't lose any wrenching time on the Mustang taking care of her car all the time) and you can get them for under $10k with decent miles on the clock. I figured you guys might know more about these cars than I do, since they're part of the 4-banger world. :wink: Anyone have the low down on these cars? Reliability? Ease of component replacement? Any other suggestions on cars that are comparable? Thanks...
