I would go for the old Honda.
1. Parts would be plentiful. Any scrapyard/Junkyard/Pick-A-Part would have at least 20 of them.
2. I know from personal experience that these things are immortal. My 70-year old Philipino grandfather drives one of these, barely maintains it, and it still runs like a top.
3. No A/C means less parasitic drag on the engine, giving it a small boost in horsepower and fuel economy.
4. Since me and my friends can have only what we can carry, the smaller car is a more logical choice.
5. The Subaru Impreza DOES NOT have a supercharged V-6. It has a TURBOCHARGED FLAT-FOUR, which is intercooled. While the more performance-oriented vehicle would be more comfortable, the OHV Inline Four of the Civic would provide better fuel economy, which would be smarter when working gas stations are few and far between.
6. In all actuality, I would probably be bullheaded and stupid enough to look for a gas-guzzling muscle car or big pickup truck.

The last mutt standing.
The one and only, Cowboy from Hell.

Bury me with my guns on,
So when I reach the other side,
I can show him what it feels like to die.
I can show him what it feels like to die.
Bury me with my guns on,
So when I'm cast out of the skies,
I can shoot the Devil right between the eyes.
