You buy a Civic for those reasons, and imho, the Civic offers the most bang-for-the-buck under $15,000. Well, atleast it did 4 years ago. Models 2000 and below were all fantastic cars, I can’t speak for the 2001 + models as I know nothing about them really. But I wouldn't doubt that went down much in quality.
well while I've built plenty of civics up w/ friends etc. Done numerous motor swaps driven plenty of hondas on the track and at other races. There is more bang for the buck out there cheaper, maybe not in a new car, and personally w/ what it takes to honestly make a honda fast you can have a pretty quick car for that money (assuming you are working w/ a new car, and not going used)
You are flawed w/ a few things, let's compare it to an LS1 camaro. While the civic is cheaper, once you get it to be as quick in as say a Z28 you have already passed it. While the import community is VERY large, it still doesn't have anything for the SBC and SBF community.
Fuel economy, I just did a road trip in my fathers C5 and got 31 mpg
