HONDA CIVIC ACCESSORIES
Although a compact, the Honda Civic is a heavyweight. The Civic debuted stateside in 1973, giving American drivers a taste for fuel-economy during a period when they needed it most. The first generation Honda Civic was offered in a coupe, three or five door hatchback, and five door station wagon. It operated on a 4-cylinder engine and also featured power disc breaks, bucket seats, and an AM radio. The first generation Civic lasted until 1980, as Honda updated the car with a slightly larger body, a more powerful engine, and a 3-speed automatic transmission. The exterior was also restyled for a more angled shape. In 1983, Honda released the Civic "t", a sportier version of the model with firmer suspension, sports tires, and a 5-speed manual transmission.
Come 1984, the Honda Civic was firmly entrenched within the global automotive industry. A four-door wagon was introduced as a variant along with an additional coupe dubbed the CRX. The CRX was available in America as a three-door backed by a fuel-injected 12 valve engine. By the end of the 1980's, the Honda Civic would once again be updated, this time with a sleeker exterior shape, independent rear suspension, and every Civic model for sale in the US was equipped with fuel injection. The nineties are when the Civic began to take on a whole new persona. No longer seen as just a fuel-friendly compact sedan, the Honda Civic began to take on a reputation as a "tuner" vehicle for a younger demographic. Both its low slung body and peppy performance were seen as popular attributes, giving Honda a whole new market to explore.
The Honda Civic is still going strong. In fact, it may be stronger than ever. Now in its 36th year, the model is currently available in five different trim levels with a host of options for drivers to choose from. But it's the efficient way it is packaged why it continues to play such a role. The interior has been redesigned with a two-tier dash and digital display. The Civic is also backed by a 1.8L 4-cylinder engine good for 140 horsepower (except the Si, which houses a 2.0L engine that dishes out 197 horsepower and comes with six-speed manual transmission). The Honda Civic Hybrid uses a 1.3L 4-cylinder gas engine along with a 20 horsepower electric motor that demonstrates 45 miles per gallon on the highway.
There are some cars that were designed to be efficient. And of course, there are others that are built strictly for performance. With the Honda Civic, drivers get the best of both worlds. While this vehicle has always remained towards the front of the pack, it is no small feat that its popularity steadily climbs from generation to generation. From the intuitive handling to the sleek style and back to the extra "pop" you get on the blacktop, it's easy to see why the Honda Civic still occupies center-stage.
