Honda Civic CVCC First Generation 5-door

According to Webster's dictionary, the word Civic means "something related to population, city, and relations between residents". And that's why the Honda Civic made its first debut in the world in 1972. With the spirit of the name it carries, Honda embodies "cars for everyone" and "cars for the world". Since then the Civic has always been a car that always has something more than its classmates and always brings value functions to a more advanced level and after 33 years have passed since its launch, the Civic sold on average to 160 nations and countries around the world.
