1984 Honda Civic Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
The 1984 Honda Civic brings in the third generation of the popular little cars with a host of changes — including a new trim called the CRX, which eventually earned its own ranking. (See CarGuru's Civic CRX pages).
The car became about five inches longer, making the Civic wagons and Civic sedans just about the same wheelbase length as the Accord. The suspension had also been redesigned for a better ride and to offer better space efficiency. Transmission choices remained untouched with a 4-speed being the default and a 5-speed and automatic transmission offered as options.
But to power lovers, it was the engine change that made a difference (although to be honest, this is still a little Civic and not a race car. Except on the base model hatchbacks, the standard engine now was a 1.5 litre, 12 valve that produced 76 hp. The base model was upgraded as well, but only to a 60 hp 1.3 liter engine.
Drivers find it generally reliable as a second family car, still enjoy its gas mileage, and in general are very happy with their very inexpensive purchase.

I liked how easy it was to work on this thing. I hated how easy it was to dent it or break off a piece of plastic though. I sold it for more than I paid for it so it was ok in the end. I did have to sink a bunch of money in to it after the timing belt broke.Feb 20, 2013

a good car, 1300cc engine with 12v gives you some acceleration. Braking is only
front disc. nice driving
experience providing safety to driver. 5wd gear shifting, fuel economy ( 16km / ltr
). Interior is perfect and driver has plenty of space to be free. Body is also 100%,
with metallic grey 2k paint.Nov 09, 2011

My first Honda. From 1984 but with semi automatic
transmission Hondamatic. Good acceleration, good handling
for 1984. Fuel consuption 5,6 l per 100 km on highway. Easy
for repair except transmission. Even small car, good safety
zones, tested by one small crash from back, which make car
shorter for 3 cm.Feb 07, 2010

It was a good collage car. Not the coolest car around until a few years later but it was good. No much power and handling was really bad. Ift will be a good first car for a student. Get it with A/C.Jul 24, 2009

Jeje! Este cochazo me lo compre por 200$ porque teniÂa el mio estropeado y no teniÂa los 800$ que necesitaba para arreglarlo, asi que estuve 3 meses con este cacharro...lo mejor de todo es que despues lo vendi por 300$ a un "amigo" turco al que se le rompio al cabo de 1 mes...Jul 24, 2008

Turn Signals
When I bought my Honda 4 years ago it only had 97,000 miles, I had it a month and the signals stopped working. I tried the WD40 in the hazards trick to no avail. I have checked the fuses and all are fine. The original owner replaced the signal wand a few years before. Any ideas? Please. A mechanic wants to charge me $350 to fix them is that right?
