About 1984 Honda Civic
Overview

The 1984 Honda Civic brings in the third generation of the popular little cars with a host of changes — including a new trim called the CRX, which eventually earned its own ranking. (See CarGuru's Civic CRX pages).
The car became about five inches longer, making the Civic wagons and Civic sedans just about the same wheelbase length as the Accord. The suspension had also been redesigned for a better ride and to offer better space efficiency. Transmission choices remained untouched with a 4-speed being the default and a 5-speed and automatic transmission offered as options.
But to power lovers, it was the engine change that made a difference (although to be honest, this is still a little Civic and not a race car. Except on the base model hatchbacks, the standard engine now was a 1.5 litre, 12 valve that produced 76 hp. The base model was upgraded as well, but only to a 60 hp 1.3 liter engine.
Drivers find it generally reliable as a second family car, still enjoy its gas mileage, and in general are very happy with their very inexpensive purchase.

a good car, 1300cc engine with 12v gives you some acceleration. Braking is only front disc. nice driving experience providing safety to driver. 5wd gear shifting, fuel economy ( 16km / ltr ).

My first Honda. From 1984 but with semi automatic transmission Hondamatic. Good acceleration, good handling for 1984. Fuel consuption 5,6 l per 100 km on highway. Easy for repair except transmission. Even small car, good safety zones, tested by one small crash from back, which make car shorter for 3 cm.

It was a good collage car. Not the coolest car around until a few years later but it was good. No much power and handling was really bad. Ift will be a good first car for a student. Get it with A/C.

I liked how easy it was to work on this thing. I hated how easy it was to dent it or break off a piece of plastic though. I sold it for more than I paid for it so it was ok in the end. I did have to sink a bunch of money in to it after the timing belt broke.
