mustang to civic?

Hello all!
I'm new here (hence posting in this forum) and I need some help. In the past I have always driven Mustangs. (last one was 12.7 @ 107) One of my friends recently bought an RSX type-S and that has really opened my eyes to the honda market. (I haven't bought one yet) Unfortunately I can't afford to spend 25k on a car right now, or I would just buy an RSX. I would like to spend around 10 to 12k and have a 13 second 'all motor' car that is reliable enough to double as my daily driver. I'm leaning toward a civic coupe. There seems to be an endless amount of things that can be done to them. Anyway, let me know what ya think, and give me any suggestions / feedback that you can. TIA
