This was the first year that Civics were widely available in the U.S. Even in 2006, there are still a few 1975 Honda Civics on the road, a fundamental reason why Honda's reputation has only improved over the years.
Honda introduced its Controlled Vortex Combustion Chamber this year, which meant the car could meet emission standards set by the first Clean Air Act without needing unleaded fuel or a catalytic converter. Not only did this help the '75 Civic meet the EPA emissions tests, it also got it the top rating for fuel economy.
And, in 1975, two new Civic models became available to address consumers' desires: a 5-speed transmission and a station wagon. Even though still relatively new, Civic sold more than 100,000 cars in the U.S. in 1975.
Continuing with a later day Civic-obsession, the '75 Civic appeared in movies like Crocodile Dundee II and Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot.
What owners say
This was my second car out of High School. I could not afford the gas for the 1973 GTO that I had so I sold it and bought a blue CIVIC Coupe. It came with 12" wheels but I put oversized mag rims (13") and tires and it looked fabulous. I needed a small car so that I could get married. I remember them driving away from our wedding reception with us in the back seat. It was our limo. It was great on gas, easy to fix and I knew it like the back of my hand. I remember driving it across Kansas at temps below 0 and the engine never moved above cold. It never left me down. I got in an accident one morning when a driver slide in snow into the frontend. I survived but the car did not. It was a great loss to me and I want to buy another one. That was in 1980.
