You don’t need features. You need reliable wheels.

I’m the same but different.
Bought a $50 civic (yup $50) needed and engine, grabbed a VTec from the wrecker, replaced the timing belt (they fail and that’s why it needed engine) did control arms, brakes some new rubber (14” cheap!) and a new clutch while i was in there, and I’m maybe 1200 into the car. Put 30,000km on it, not a problem. I put my “payment” away in my savings for if I need to don something but so far she’s been bulletproof.
Found a guy selling 2 2010 civics for $2500 both need some work picking them up this weekend. Going to sell my older one, fix these up and drive one.
