The Honda Civic is a compact car manufactured by Honda. The automotive industry is the industry involved in the design development manufacture marketing and sale of Motor vehicles In 2007 more than 73 million motor vehicles () is a Multinational corporation, engine Manufacturer and engineering corporation headquartered in Japan. Car classification is subjective since many vehicles fall into multiple categories or do not fit well into any A subcompact car is an Automobile in a North American Vehicle size class, encompassing vehicles smaller than Compact cars According to the A compact (North America small family (European or c-segment car is a classification of cars which are larger than a supermini A compact (North America small family (European or c-segment car is a classification of cars which are larger than a supermini () is a Multinational corporation, engine Manufacturer and engineering corporation headquartered in Japan. It was introduced in July 1972 as a two-door coupe, followed by a three-door version that September. With transverse engine mounting of its 1169 cc engine and front-wheel drive like the British Mini, the car provided good interior space despite overall small dimensions. A transverse engine is an Engine in which the Crankshaft is oriented side-to-side relative to the length of the vehicle Front-wheel drive (or FF layout) is a form of engine / transmission layout used in Motor vehicles where the engine drives the front Wheels The Mini is a small car that was produced by the British Motor Corporation (BMC and its successors from 1959 until 2000 [1]
Early models of the Civic were typically outfitted with a basic AM radio, a rudimentary heater, foam-cushioned plastic trim, two-speed wipers and painted steel rims with a chromed wheel nut cap. The current Civic has become much more luxurious with satellite-linked navigation, a six-speed manual transmission, air conditioning, power locks, and power windows.
In the United States of America, the Civic is the second-longest continuously-running nameplate from a Japanese manufacturer; only the Toyota Corolla, introduced in 1968, has been in production longer. The Toyota Corolla is a line of subcompact / Compact cars produced by the Japanese Automaker Toyota, which has become very popular throughout [2]

The Civic's features allowed it to outperform American competitors such as the Chevrolet Vega and Ford Pinto. The Chevrolet Vega was a Subcompact car sold from 1971 through 1977 The Ford Pinto was a subcompact manufactured by the Ford Motor Company for the North American market first introduced on September 11, 1970 When the 1973 oil crisis struck, many Americans turned to economy cars. The 1973 oil crisis began on October 17 1973 when the members of Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries (OAPEC consisting of the Arab members of Reviews of American economy car quality were poor and getting worse due to spiraling costs for manufacturers. Japanese culture had a long-standing tradition of demanding high-quality economy cars, and the growing American desire in the 1970s for well-made cars that had good fuel mileage benefited the standing of Honda, Toyota, and Datsun in the lucrative U. Datsun was an automobile Marque. There never was an actual "Datsun" company as the brand name was used in production only by DAT Motors and its successor S. market.
For 1974, the Civic's engine size grew slightly, to 1237 cc and power went up to 52 hp (39 kW). In order to meet the new 5 mph (8 km/h) bumper impact standard, the Civic's bumpers grew 7. 1 inches (18 cm), increasing overall length to 146. 9 inches (373 cm). [1] The CVCC (Compound Vortex Controlled Combustion) engine debuted in 1975 and was offered alongside the standard Civic engine. CVCC can also be used to represent a consonant-vowel-consonant-consonant Syllable pattern The optional 53 hp (40 kW) CVCC engine displaced 1488 cc and had a head design that promoted cleaner, more efficient combustion. The CVCC design eliminated the need for catalytic converters or unleaded fuel to meet changing emissions standards, unlike nearly every other U. S. market car. Due to California's stricter emissions standards, only the CVCC powered Civic was available in that state. A five-speed manual transmission became available this year, as did a Civic station wagon (only with the CVCC engine), which had a wheelbase of 89. 9 inches (228 cm) and an overall length of 160 inches (406 cm). Civic sales also increased and topped 100,000 units for this year. [1]
1978 brought slight cosmetic changes: the grille was black; the rear-facing hood vents replaced the sideways vents; and turn indicators were mounted in the bumper instead of in the grille. The CVCC engine was now rated at 60 hp (45 kW). [1]

The 1980 Civic debuted with a more angular shape, increased engine power, and larger dimensions in all models. The Triumph Acclaim was a Front wheel drive medium-sized Family car made by British Leyland (BL from 1981 to 1984 The Honda Ballade was a subcompact Automobile built by Honda of Japan. The wheelbase now measured 88. 6 inches (225 cm) for the hatchback (the two-door "sedan" was dropped) and 91. 3 inches (232 cm) for the wagon. All Civic engines now used the CVCC design; the base 1335 cc ("1300") engine made 55 hp (41 kW), while the 1488 cc ("1500") engine produced 67 hp (50 kW). Three transmissions were offered: a four-speed manual (on base models), a five-speed manual and a two-speed automatic. [1]
The Civic 1300 and 1500 came in base and DX versions, and the latter featured a five-speed manual transmission, partial cloth seats, carpet, rear window defroster, intermittent wipers and a cigar lighter. The 1500 GL added radial tires, a rear window wiper/washer, tachometer, clock and bodyside moldings. The Civic wagon came in a single version that was similar to the DX trim level. [1]
In 1980 a "3-box" four-door sedan debuted, as did a three-speed automatic transmission that replaced the aging two-speed unit. Rectangular headlamps and black bumpers appeared on the 1982 Civic. A new highly efficient gasoline-sipping model, the five-speed "FE" (Fuel Economy) was introduced and was rated at 41 mpg (5. 7 l/100 km) in the city and 55 mpg (4. 3 l/100 km) on the highway. [1] The slogan for 1983 was We Make It Simple'.
The sport-oriented Civic "S" was introduced and replaced the 1500 GL in 1983 and was fitted with firmer suspension (with rear stabilizer bar) and 165/70R13 Michelin tires. A red accent encircled the S and set it apart from other Civics as well as a black grille and blackout paint around the windowframes.
In Europe a model called the Ballade which was based on the saloon version of this vehicle but with different styling, was available badged as a Triumph Acclaim[1]

The Honda Integra, a car sold as an Acura in North America and as a Honda elsewhere was a sporty Front-wheel drive vehicle sold both as a sedan and 7 inches (hatchback) or 96. 5 inches (sedan). A 3-door hatchback, 4-door sedan, 4-door "Shuttle" wagon, and CRX coupe shared common underpinnings. This included independent front control arms with torsion bar springs and a semi-independent rear beam with coil springs. However, the body panels were completely different for each body style, with nothing interchangeable beyond the front bumper and headlights.
The sedan and hatchback shared the same dashboard, but the CRX and wagons both had their own unique dash (CRX having a covered cubby in the middle of the dash, the wagon having a pop up set of vents which could be used or retracted into the dash). A new 12-valve (three valves per cylinder) 76 hp, 1500 cc engine was introduced. The base hatchback and CRX 1. 3 used the 1300 cc 8-valve engine giving 60 hp (45 kW). The DX and 1500S model hatchbacks shared the new 1500 cc engine with the sedan, wagon and CRX 1. 5. The 1500S model achieved over 50 mpg highway. The CRX was a Civic with a slightly different body; it was strictly a 2-seater in the US with a lockable storage compartment, while it was offered to the rest of the world with a rear seat. The CRX lineup added the Si model in 1985 which used Honda's PGM-FI fuel injection on the 1488cc 4 cylinder; in the US this generated 91 horsepower. The Si model added an intricately designed rear wiper, rear spoiler, power sunroof and 4 spoke alloy wheels. The wagon was available in front-wheel drive; in 1985 a part-time four-wheel drive, operated by a push button on the dash, became available. The CRX HF joined the model lineup and used a CVCC head equipped EW series 1. 5 liter engine, replacing the original CRX 1. 3. In 1986, the Civic got flush-mounted headlights. The CRX Si was visually altered by body colored bumpers, new alloy wheels and a body colored rubber spoiler-now mounted on the back of the hatch as opposed to the top portion of the hatch. Also in 1986 an Si version of the Civic hatchback was introduced, featuring a pop-up glass sunroof, body colored bumpers and sedan-style disk wheel covers. This model came with the 1. 5 L 12 valve fuel-injected engine from the CRX Si, generating 91 hp, and manual five-speed gearbox. A manual transmission (also known as a stick shift or just 'stick' 'straight drive' or standard transmission) is a type of transmission used in In 1987, the four-wheel drive system on the wagon was changed; a new Real-Time four-wheel drive system featured an automatic viscous coupling that shifted power to the rear wheels automatically when needed. Real Time 4WD models are recognizable by the charcoal grey center covers, covering the lug nuts which were exposed on FWD models. In Europe the Sedan model was marketed as the Rover 213/216 and the Honda Ballade. The Rover 200-series / 25 is a small Car which was produced by the Austin Rover Group, and latterly the Rover Group and MG Rover.

The body was redesigned with a lower hood line and more glass, giving less drag. The model range was fairly limited for the US, whereas the European and Japanese markets had a wider range. A 1500 cc 16-valve fuel injected engine giving 92 hp (68 kW) was used in the DX hatchback and sedan, new LX sedan and the American market wagon. The Si and four-wheel drive wagons were powered by a 1. 6 L 16-valve engine, rated at 108 hp (81 kW). The base hatchback had a 70 hp (52 kW) version of the same 8-valve engine. All engines sold in the US were fuel injected. Carbureted models were available elsewhere. All Civics had a double-wishbone suspension in the front and multi-link trailing arm suspension in the rear.

Trims and equipment
Coupe: Trims available in the coupe body style were the DX, HX, EX and Si (only 1999 and 2000) (designated as the EJ6/7/8 and EM1, respectively). The Rover 400 (later the Rover 45) is a Small family car produced by the British automaker Rover from 1990 to 2005 The Rover 200-series / 25 is a small Car which was produced by the Austin Rover Group, and latterly the Rover Group and MG Rover.

Hatchback: Trims available in the hatchback body style were the CX and the DX (EK2 and EK3).
Sedan: Trims available in the sedan body style were the DX, Value Package, Vi-RS (EK3)[not available USDM], LX (EJ6), EX (EJ8), GX (beginning in 1998) and Si (JDM).
In 1999 the Civic had some updates for both the interior and exterior. The car received a face lift which included a new grille, new headlights, and a new front bumper and fenders and redesigned taillights. On the 1996 to 1998 sedans, the stop lights were on top of the reverse and turn lights, in 1999-2000 the reverse and turn lights were on top of the stop lights. For the coupe and hatchback the layouts remained as before; however, the rear turn signal lenses became clear/white instead of amber to match the reverse lights (the turn lights themselves remained amber). Inside the center console had a makeover. The sliding air system controls were replaced by rotary ones, which created free space.
The CX was the lightest and did not have features such as a sunroof, which made it even lighter. In Canada, the EX was called the Si and the Si was called the SiR.
The CX hatchback and all DX models with a manual transmission did not have power steering. DX models with automatic transmission did have power steering standard. DX models also did not come with options such as power locks and windows, cruise control, and sunroof. Value Package trims came with a CD player and remote entry system. The LX trim (sedan only) added the power windows and locks and cruise control while the EX trim added the sunroof. HX trim levels were specifically designed for better fuel efficiency and had features similar to LX sedans but without cruise control. Canadian SiR models included ABS brakes and heated mirrors which were not included on US Si models.
Special Edition (SE) models were available in various North American markets. 1996 coupes could be had in a rosewood color in limited production. This color was a common color outside North America, but was fairly rare to see in US models.
Most models had a standard AM/FM radio in the center dashboard with a backlit LCD display (except CX had no radio) but a slave cassette player or CD player was available through dealer-installed options and was installed in the forward portion of the console and was hidden from view when the cupholder was open. EX models had the slave cassette player standard. Dealers also offered AM/FM cassette and AM/FM CD decks to replace the stock radio. All vehicles were equipped with four speakers (except for the EX which included two extra tweeters located on the front doors), radio wiring (prep), and an antenna regardless of whether or not they had a radio.
The JDM Civic Si Sedan (known as Ferio) featured a 170ps Dohc Vtec engine, rear headrests, an Integra R style shift knob, unique seating fabric and wheelcovers that appeared on the 98-00 USDM Civic EX coupe. Other JDM Ferio models included a model with the RealTime 4wheel drive and a rear wiper in the back window of the sedan, which was not seen in other markets.
Two distinctly different wagons were made- the Orthia, based on the "regular" Civic sedan, for Japan, and a Domani-based model for Europe. Neither were offered in North America. A Domani based hatchback was also offered for sale in Europe alongside the regular Civic model from 1995-2001.
Engines
All CX, DX, Value Package, and LX models used the D16Y7. The Honda D engine is a family of inline 4-cylinder engines used in a variety of compact Honda models most commonly the Honda Civic, CRX, The HX had the D16Y5 and the EX had the D16Y8.

In the UK, Europe, Australia and the Philippines, there were a number of sedans and aerodecks produced with the B18C4.
Transmissions
Most models (DX, LX, EX, Si) were available with a standard 5-speed manual transmission with a hydraulic clutch, or an optional 4-speed automatic transmission. The HX model was offered with the 5-speed manual or a CVT Continuously Variable Transmission which offered three driving ranges, D (for normal driving), S (for spirited driving with higher engine speeds), and L (to keep the engine running as low a speed as possible). The conventional 4-speed automatic was not available on the HX model. The automatic transmission on the Honda has become very problematic since 2001. The company was forced to extend its warranty due to the high number of low mileage failures.
Canada Si and SiR
In 1996, Honda Canada called the American Ex version an Si, while calling the American Si the SiR in Canada. Country to "Dominion of Canada" or "Canadian Federation" or anything else please read the Talk Page There was a change that occurred in this model from 1998 to 1999. The front bumper was altered to give two in-slots, which allowed customization to fit fog lights. The tail lights also changed to two pieces of red and white lights instead of the yellow, red and white. The exterior paint was also changed, giving the newer models much shinier complexions. Many of the Si and SiR from 1999 to 2000 featured high tip wings, though low tip wings were also common.
Asian SiRII
From 1996 to 2000, Honda produced Civic SiRII which came with a B16A engine, but it was only available in Asian market. This engine produced 170HP@7800RPM with a displacement of 1595 cm³
Asian Type-R
There was also a 185HP Type-R Civic, that was only available in a Hatchback and 5 speed manual with LSD. This model was equipped with a very powerful B16B (AKA PCT), which is essentially a destroked version of the Integra Type-R B18C5 Powerplant.

Trims
Coupe: Trims available in the coupe body style were the DX (up to 2003), EX, HX and LX (EM2). Hatchback: The Si (EP3), marketed as the SiR in Canada, was the only hatchback of its generation sold in North America.

The European Civic (FN chassis) has a different appearance and is offered primarily as 5-door and 3-door hatchbacks. In the UK, the only sedan available is the Hybrid version. However, in other markets where sedans are more popular (such as Ireland and Finland), a range of sedans similar to the JDM models are available. Ireland (pronounced /ˈaɾlənd/ Éire) is the third largest island in Europe, and the twentieth-largest island in the world
The European Civic is built in Swindon, UK.
Mechanically, the European Civic differs from the USDM and JDM variants in that it uses a simpler torsion beam suspension system for the rear wheels compared to the double-wishbone system in the USDM and JDM Civics. This change happened in this generation to allow the car to keep its large interior space, and actually reduce the length of the outgoing model Civic. Externally, the European model is the most aggressively styled; the sweeping front arc is maintained and a perspex cover resembling a lamp cluster replaces the grille. The rear tail lights are also similarly styled. Triangular accents are found front and back, with triangular fog-lamps in front and dual triangle exhaust tips at the back. The rear backglass is split into two levels, divided by a spoiler lip and the fuel filler cap is a race-inspired exposed metal effect cap. For the 5-door models, the rear door is hidden away, with the door handles tucked away at the corners of the rear windows, creating the illusion of a 2-door coupe. Inside, the European Civic follows the same split-level theme, but with circular A/C vents and switchgear. There is also a start button reminiscent of the Honda S2000. The Honda S2000 is a Roadster manufactured by the Japanese automaker Honda Motor Company. The handbrake is in a more conventional position behind the shift lever. All around there is a generous use of metallic trim. Engines include a 1. 4 litre i-DSI, the 1. 8 litre i-VTEC shared with the USDM and JDM models as well as a 2. VTEC is also an abbreviation for the Verocytotoxin -producing Escherichia coli strain O157H7. 2 litre i-CTDi turbodiesel. A 6-speed manual transmission is available across the range.

A 2. 0 litre i-VTEC petrol Type-R high performance version is also available. VTEC is also an abbreviation for the Verocytotoxin -producing Escherichia coli strain O157H7.
Some other features of the European Civic include "magic seats" in the rear, that not only lay flat to increase boot capacity, but also allow the seat bench to lift up and lay flat against the back rests to create a large loading area in the back behind the front seats. There is also a "hidden" storage compartment in the boot under the floor. The lid, which normally forms part of the boot floor, can be sunk down to a lower level to increase the load area, designed to allow the boot area accommodate larger or taller items. In the normal position, the storage area can be used to hide valuables away under the floor. Some models in the range feature things like electric folding mirrors, a digital speedometer display, a panoramic glass roof, and automatic headlights and windshield wipers. The range topping EX model also has DVD satellite navigation, and allows the car's entertainment system, climate control, navigation system and hands-free telephone system to be controlled all by voice commands.
The five-door European-market Civic hatchback is also marketed in Israel and South Africa. Conversely, in certain European markets such as the UK, the four-door JDM Civic is available with the hybrid powertrain; and in some Eastern European countries it is available with the 1. 8 L i-VTEC.
In March 2008 Honda announced that it was recalling 79,000 eighth generation Civics due to a potential problem with faulty handbrakes. [3]

Beginning with the 2007 US Civic Si, VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist) has been offered.
In the fall of 2007, a slight variant on the standard Si sedan model, the Honda Civic Mugen Si sedan (2008), was introduced. While Mugen Motorsports is known for its performance heritage, the Mugen Si project is more concerned with cosmetic alterations to the standard Si. Mugen_Decaljpg|Mugen Power|thumb|right]] Mugen Motorsports ( M-TEC Co Honda has announced that a total of 1000 Mugen Si cars will be produced for the U.

A special trim level for handicapped indivduals (LX), based on the LXS, was available in the first year but due to some changes in tax-break laws it's no longer available. It was equipped with automatic transmission and limited to 125 ps. The 2006 Civic received the "Best Buy" award from Quatro Rodas magazine, the most prestigious car magazine in the country. The recommended prices for 2006 Civics in Brazil range from R$61,745. 00 to 80,750. 00, but due to high demand, new Civics are being sold for about 10% more than the recommended price. The Si sedan was announced at Salão do Automóvel in São Paulo, featuring a 2. 0 L i-VTEC DOHC at 192 PS (143 kW) (195 PS or 145 kW when using premium unleaded gasoline).

Safety
The Civic's crash test performance has been rated highly by both the US Government's NHTSA[5] and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety[6]. The IIHS lists the Civic as the second-best 2007 small car in overall crashworthiness[7].
In Australia, 1982–2004 Civics were assessed in the Used Car Safety Ratings 2006 on their level of occupant protection. For a topic outline on this subject see List of basic Australia topics. [8]
- (1982–1983) - "worse than average"
- (1984–1987) - "significantly worse than average"
- (1988–1991) - "worse than average"
- (1992–2004) - "average"
It should be noted that these ratings compare cars of different sizes and different eras. Most small cars from the 1980s are rated "worse than average" or "significantly worse than average" while most small cars from the 1990s are rated "average".

Modifications and the enthusiast community
In many areas, the Civic is popular as a platform for modification and customization by an enthusiast community. The Import scene or Import racing scene refers to the Subculture that revolves around modifying imported brand cars (commonly referred to as imports especially Civics prior to the fifth and sixth generation had a high power-to-weight ratio and a higher hp-to-liter output compared to many of their direct competitors which allowed for naturally better acceleration, braking and handling given similar parts. Power-to-weight ratio (specific power is a calculation commonly applied to Engines and other mobile power sources to enable the comparison of one unit or design to another As well, advanced four-wheel independent suspension inspired by Honda's racing research allowed class-leading handling in the fourth generation, which continued on until the 2001 model. Also, because of parts interchangeability, many Civics which were originally equipped with lower-power engines can later be equipped with a newer Honda engine, or many other upgrades. The City Turbo engine is a good fit to the Civic engine bay in many models, and provides a significant increase in the power-to-weight ratio compared to the non-performance engines, thus boosting performance.
Also, many fourth, fifth, and sixth generation Civics can be similarly upgraded by replacing their original economy-oriented engines with a DOHC VTEC engine — commonly one of the B-series engines such as a B16A, which was also original equipment in some performance models of the Civic. Overhead camshaft, commonly abbreviated to OHC, Valvetrain configurations place the engine Camshaft within the Cylinder heads above the VTEC is also an abbreviation for the Verocytotoxin -producing Escherichia coli strain O157H7. The B-series Honda Straight-4 DOHC engines are popular automotive engines from the modern series of Honda engines.
The most recent models, while still competitive as tuner projects, have succumbed to added weight, reduced suspension technology and higher centers of gravity which has significantly reduced their appeal amongst passionate drivers. These changes made the car safer on the whole though, and helped the Civic sell better to the average consumer.
The North American 2006 Civic Si demonstrates that the Civic line has seen a return to sportiness and performance. This addition to the North American market more closely resembles the European and Japanese Civic Type-R than earlier Si models. The major differences between the 2007 European Civic Type-R and the Civic Si is the lack of a multi-link rear suspension and limited slip differential in the Type-R model, utilizing instead a torsion beam rear suspension; note that the models use completely different chassis. Though the models are different in style, hatchback vs. coupe, they both share the same K20Z3 engine. The Honda K series engine is a four-cylinder Otto cycle engine This newest generation of the Civic Si offers a 2. 0 L 197 hp (147 kW) K20Z3 engine, utilizing a drive by wire throttle, electric power steering, and a balance shaft.
