Im looking for a overall better deal . I would be doing some mild upgrades mainly suspension and maybe would like to keep it 140-150 hp range but still get good gas mileage .
 
a 92-93 integra would be nice, either a GSR or an LS, its hard to find either car though not rotted out, they do have their ups and downs, on the integra, ive found that its a cramped space and doing anything more then basic work, requires modifications to the body and frame, to fit space for my intercooler pipes, i had to replace my traction bar. the DA parts are a little but rarer since the car was only made in 3 years, i specifically say though 92-93 because they are OBD1 making it possible to do a OBD2 swap with a K20 or a newer GSR motor possible, if you use a 90-91 you will have obd0 and options for motor work and tuning are cut in half. The 4th gen civic doesnt put out as much power but its a great turbo platform if you have the time and money, odds are though your looking for easy power go with the integra, you spend a grand on that car youll be at 150hp no problem without nitrous or a turbo, you can reach that just doing an LS/vtec conversion for about 500 bucks if you know what your doing.

def the Honda. I've done alot of research on this myself and Consumer Reports has always given it higher ratings, also the resale value is better no matter how old it is.
