Get a Honda product. You need reliable, and they are. $11-12K will get you a not-very-old basic Civic, and I still think that's a better choice than a new Korean make.
An older Integra is a good choice if it's been driven well. They do have their quirks, and you can and should research them online. For example: on my '92 Integra, one thing to think about is the 90,000 mile timing chain replacement. They have to essentially pull out the engine to change it (the water pump's down there, too, so they generally change it out at the same tiime), and it costs bigtime unless you do your own work. So if you're offered an Integra at a good price with 85K on it, you might really want to take a look at the maintenance schedule.
