THE DI FFERENCE IN OWN I NG THE ORIGINAL.
What separates the C ivic fro m other ha tchbacks? F irst of all , it's a Honda. Which mea ns it's reli ab le . P rac tica l. And a good va lue. Three reasons why we've been number one in Im port Ow ne r L oyalty fo r thi rteen years in a row. t
For years t he C ivic H atchback has drawn the li ne for othe r ca rs to fo llow. And , t hat line is slee k.
The hoodli ne is low fo r exceptiona l visibili ty. The long-ro of des ig n provides ple nty of roo m. For fi ve adu lts . And plenty of ca rgo.
L ike all our Ci vics, th e H atchback features a 16-valve, fuel -inje cte d e ng ine and double wishbone suspension.
For those seeking a blend of practical ity with a bit more powe r, comfort and conven ience, there's the Civic DX H atc hback.
T he Civic Si is the most spiri ted Hatchback. It co mes w it h t he sa me spor ty e ng ine as the CRX Si. Plus, a powe r- opera ted moo nro of. And more.

A FINE LINE BETWEEN WORK AND PLAY.
Civic Wagons offer the proper balance between function and fun.
Whether your cargo is play stuff or work stuff, fold the re ar seatbacks flat to create 60.3 cubic feet of space.
There are plenty of horses pu lling these wagons. Both feature 16-valve, fuel-injected engines for power and efficiency.
Real Time- 4-wheel drive automatically engages whenever you need extra traction.
An extra-low first gear with the 6-speed manual transmission or the low-hold first gear with the availab le automatic provides additional pu ll. For low-speed maneuvers in 4WD, power steering comes in handy.
A 5-speed manual transmiss ion is standard on the 2WD Wagon. A 4-speed automatic is also avai lab le. And double wishbone suspension makes i:he Civic Wagons smooth handlers for any trip. Business or pleasure.
