Decent buy?

I think I'll focus on MKii's instead.

That's even older! Although if you are looking for less power, more reliability and cheaper (though harder to find) parts it is a good choice but check it thoroughly underneath for rust and expect to rebuild the suspension and rear end if its been whooped. Otherwise its a great car.
I think civics are one of the best daily driver cars on earth. I don't think they even register on any coolness scale but both are only my opinion.
@916mk3x2, Your experience with the civic is very unusual on an unmolested one. Damn 360k miles is pretty impressive for a gasoline engine. Lol, you were drifting a tired elderly supra.... that couldn't have been too much fun.

Speed isn't an issue to me, just reliability. I have already posted a thread in the mkii section

Civics are out of the question, not even worth mentioning. I can get everything I want from a Celica Supra, Fox Mustang, Acura Legend, etc. I don't need THE MOST RELIABLE vehicle, just something decently reliable and cheap to work on.

It was still dynoing 275 hp at that time, but yes very old and tired, probably would have had around 320 hp on a newer one.
