Honda Civic (third generation)

Honda Civic three-door

The third generation of the Honda Civic was manufactured from September 1983 to September 1987. It gave him in four body styles: coupe CR -X, three-door hatchback (Hatchback), a four-door notchback and Van Shuttle ( a forerunner of today's vans ).

Equipment

The third generation is without a classic combination, since this role is taken over by small van shuttle. The shuttle had standard front-wheel drive and was available with all-wheel drive. By a push button on the dashboard that could be operated. In 1987, the all-wheel drive system of the shuttle has been changed. Introduced a new real-time four-wheel - drive system with an automatic viscous coupling, which automatically shifts the power to the rear wheels when needed.

The top model of its time was the 1.5 liter GT with 74 kW (101 hp). From model year 1986, this version was equipped on request with a regulated catalytic converter, followed by a simple subordinate clause in the small print "for the environmentally conscious driver," pointed out in the former prospectus.
