Default I'm looking for $2000 winter car, what should I buy?

I need a winter car, I want to spend about about $1800-2300 on it. I would like to find something that's also a little fun.

I'm thinking about:
A) 1990-1994+ Honda Civic
B) 1990 or newer Acura Intergra
C) 1988 or newer Acura Legand that fits in this price range

Should I avoid buying anyone of these cars for any Well-Known Durability problems?

A lot of these cars have a lot of miles....What's TOO many miles?

Any other sugestions or ideas?

Thanks!

get a 90-91 civic/crx Si. fun, cheap, reliable, and mildly fast. theyre great cars and good on the budget (price, gas, insurance).

Id say either a 88-91 civic/crx or a 90+ subaru awd would make a great winter car.
