Interesting to look at, but the NSX handles better.
My stock 92 Civic LX, which used to be my sister's for the last 4 years, is a damn reasonable compromise between comfort (I'm only 5'11, so Hondas fit me), fun to drive, reliability, longevity, and economy. My sister used to get 40-42 MPG on the highway with it. She just bought a 2001 Civic HX which will give her similar performance and even better economy.
Hondas are for sensible people, not losers. Some people like to make them look different from the rest, but most people have no delusions that their 40 MPG econobox or mid-size family cruiser makes a good starting point for a race car.
