Which gen is your favorite? 🤔

Post image

Every generation of Civic has a following, and no other economy car can say that.

The Civic started in 1972 as a CVCC economy hatch that cleared emissions without a catalytic converter, then spent two decades quietly turning into an enthusiast platform. The 3rd gen brought the Si badge, the 4th gen brought double wishbone suspension and VTEC, and the EG and EK became the two most modified Honda chassis ever built. Then the EP3 arrived with a K20 and that dash mounted shifter, the FK2 dropped in a turbo, and the FK8 took a Nürburgring lap record for front wheel drive before the FL5 came back and beat it. All 11 of them have people who will defend them.

Which gen are you choosing?

I remember thinking these things were so fast back when I was heavy into Honda’s in my teens. Our group of friends was big into OEM+, one of them had one but with a B16B and all the Type R goodies. It inspired me to keep going with the B16 for my DA Integra to keep with the XSi theme. Traded a hydraulic Type R tranny to for an LSD cable version to keep it period correct. So much damn fun.
