Yeah, I picked up a Civic. I've been looking for a winter car so I don't have to drive my Metro/Firefly in the salt (at 17 years old in great shape with only 34k km on the clock, it's earned some pampering).
I was looking for any kind of 3 or 4-cyl, 5-speed beater in the $0-$1500 range, but found a high miles '07 Civic 5-speed for double my budget, but at a very decent price, so went for that instead. I'll sell it next spring/summer and probably look for something else.
One of these years, a used Mirage will be on my list.
