Write a review
The 1973 Honda Civic debuted in July of 1972 as a little coupe, with twin cylinder, air-cooled engines that were placed transversely to help give the tiny Civic a bit more interior space.
The '73 Civic, which also came as a hatchback later in the year, was a very (extremely) basic car having plastic trim, an AM radio, and a heater that worked on occasion. It relied heavily on Honda's knowledge of motorcycle technology.
Yet, people were amazed that four adults could fit into this car that had only an 86.6-inch wheelbase and 12-inch wheels. Even more shocking was that even at that time, the Civic got 40 mpg, which was terrific since the U.S. was faced with a gas shortage. And they loved the fact that because of its size it could easily weave in and out of traffic and park almost anywhere.
There were only a few options to choose from, which consisted of an auto transmission, a rear wiper on the hatchback, air conditioning, and radial tires.

Transmission went out at twenty-one days and 700 miles. The dealer kept the car for 37 straight days. Needed plugs every 3200 miles and the hatch rusted out at twelve months and 9000 miles. It was fun to drive and got excellent mileage when it happened to be roadworthy. My next Civic, a '99 model, was a little better but not much. This thing about Honda quality is way overated. Worst cars I have ever owned. Gimme a Chrysler any day!Dec 29, 2008

This was my high school car, and it was the best thing going. $3.00 filled up the tank at the time, and it seemed to run forever on that little tank of gas. It took us everywhere. When it got too old and feeble, it was small enouogh to drive and hold the passsenger door closed at the same time! Jan 31, 2008

the honda civics came out in July 1972 and have been pretty popular since. They are great gas savers. The first ones were really small but gradually got biggerDec 31, 2007
