The original Civic was introduced in 1973 and over the years gained a good reputation. A decade later the CRX was announced; strictly a two-seater with plenty of room. The 1.5-litre engine was packed neatly under the bonnet. The 1985 Si introduced Honda's new Programmed Fuel Injection system. In answer to European criticism of lack of power a 16v, 1600cc engine arrived here in 1986 giving 125bhp. Ride and handling were also improved. Models covered: Si, 1.5, 1.6, Coupe, Spyder. This is a book of contemporary road & comparison tests, specification, technical data, long term & owner's reports, new model intros & special conversions. Models covered: Si, 1.5, 1.6, Coupe, Spyder. 100 pages, 200 illus. SB.
