I love Honda Civics, it will definitely be my next car! The first Civic was introduced in July 1972 as a two door model and the three door hatchback followed that September

Wow, they have been around a long time! How much did they cost in 1972?

I'm not actually sure but i know it was Originally a subcompact, the Civic has gone through a lot of generational changes, becoming both larger and more upmarket and moving into the compact car segment.

Yes there have been quite a few models over the years. Do you know exactly how many?

Yes, they last a long time regardless of how many miles they have on them. I have owned a few over the years.

Initially Honda Civic's were gaining a reputation for being fuel-efficient, reliable, and environmentally friendly, later iterations have become known for performance and sportiness, especially the Civic Type R, Civic VTi, Civic GTi and Civic SiR/Si.

Yes I love the sporty feel of them but the gas efficiency as well.

Whats funny is that the Civic was originally planned to become bigger, but after the collapse of Lehman Brothers and the global credit crisis in 2008, Honda wanted to make the car smaller, lighter and more fuel-efficient, while increasing space inside!
