THE HONDA PHENOMENON.
Within the past few years, the success of Honda Civic has turned into a phenomenon. And that’s not a word to be used lightly. From ground zero, Honda was an extension of a design philosophy that has made it the largest selling import in the country and almost the largest-selling car; period.
As any observer of automotive phenomena will tell you, it takes more than one feature to make a success. Honda has many features, that add up to a great driving experience. And a mighty smart investment.
Handling.
You just have to drive a Honda to be excited by its responsiveness. The reason it clings to the road is the combination of a transverse-mounted engine, coupled to front-wheel drive, rack-and-pinion steering and independent suspension on all four wheels. Road holding and safe, sure cornering have suddenly taken on a whole new dimension. Phenomenal!
Usable space.
Whether you think in terms of people or luggage, Honda offers more room than you’d think possible. But then, with front-wheel drive you have no space-consuming transmission bump. When you go to see the Honda for yourself, take a large friend along. You’ll understand absolutely why Honda owners talk up the interior space with such enthusiasm.
Sales.
These figures are rather startling in themselves. And when you think how a lot of Honda owners had to wait for delivery and were glad they did, it’s an even bigger surprise. But with all the Honda owners selling for us, we have lots of help.
Get out soon to your Honda dealer and drive a phenomenon. They’re few and far between these days.
Mileage.
It’s no coincidence that as gas prices go up, so do Honda’s sales. Depending on how you like to do your driving, the mileage varies. It varies too, with your choice of 4-speed, 5-speed or Hondamatic transmission. But however you cut it, both the Honda Civic and the Accord give you mileage that’s hard to believe.
Service.
If Honda puts a smile on your face, our dealer network keeps it there. Honda dealers’ service people understand every nut and bolt on a car that is, by design, easy for them and convenient for you because it was planned that way from the drawing board Just about everything on a Honda that needs periodic service or could conceivably require repair can be got at simply by lifting the hood So service is quick and inexpensive to do. And these days, that alone is something of a phenomenon!
Put a smile on your face. Drive a Honda.
THE HONDA PHILOSOPHY MAKES MORE SENSE WITH EACH PASSING YEAR.
Leading automotive writers have variously referred to the Honda Civic as “a revolution on wheels”,"an almost mystical experience," “the perfect antidote to the gasoline shortage and runaway prices."
The success of this car can only be termed a phenomenon. But all this did not just happen.
The philosophy behind this remarkable automobile determined that we should re-think the automobile and design a car that would make sense for the changing times and the changing attitudes towards transportation.
The resulting car has made so much sense that the Honda has, in less than 4 years, become the best selling small car in Canada.
Highway Sense.
Drivers of some small cars tend to get white-knuckled when cross-winds gust against the car or they pass a truck: they expect (sometimes correctly) to be blown off course.
The engineering design of the Civic, on the other hand, has given this car astonishing road handling and stability.
The Honda Civic has a low centre of gravity and comes with fully independent McPherson strut suspension on all 4 wheels. This is especially appreciated in hard turns or on rough, pot-holed roads where tire contact is always maintained with the road surface.
The Honda Civic is a front wheel drive vehicle so the engine weight is over the drive wheels, providing superior traction and more positive handling, even on slippery surfaces. The steering is precision rack and pinion which provides superb road feel and positive response and control.
The rugged transverse Civic engine develops up to 70 hp giving its owners delightful performance.
Maintenance Sense.
One of the Honda Civic design features is that just about everything that needs periodic service or could conceivably require repair can be got at simply by lifting the hood.
Which means service is quick and inexpensive to do.
There are Honda Dealers virtually everywhere in Canada and their service people understand every nut and bolt on a car that is, by design, easy to maintain. Honda owners don’t get to see much of these service people. But when the time comes, they know they can count on Honda quality service and all the care that goes with it.
Gas Sense.
In a world of diminishing fuel reserves, with consequently increasing fuel prices, for a car to make sense, it must also make a lot of miles on a gallon of gas.
The mileage a Honda gives you has become legendary.
In fact, at 80 km per gal. (50.0 mpg) highway and 65 km per gal. (40.6 mpg) city, and a combined figure of 71 km per gal (44.4 mpg), a Honda can take you about twice as far as most other cars on the same amount of gas.
And as it uses regular gas, you save again. So as gas prices continue to rise your transportation costs remain sensible.
Space Sense.
An international automotive authority once referred to the space utilization of the Honda Civic as “marvellous.” And indeed, the Civic interior provides an astonishing amount of space and comfort for a car in its size range.
It was designed to keep 4 people in relaxed comfort on longer trips as well as around town. The Honda Civic is fully carpeted throughout. It features fully-reclining bucket seats, a 3-speed heater and Flow-Through ventilation. It has a rear ashtray, tinted window glass all around. And a remarkable amount of rear leg, head and shoulder room.
When you want to carry things instead of people, fold the rear seat forward in the Hatchback and you have an impressive amount of load capacity. Even more so in the roomy Civic Station Wagon.
Driving Sense.
When Honda designers and engineers set about to re-think the automobile, there is one thought they never put aside: when all else is said and done, a car should still be downright good fun to drive. So even though the Honda is in the small car class, innovative design and engineering have given it a controlled and responsive performance that continues to delight Honda owners everywhere.
When you test drive a Honda (and we hope you will), remember it was made to be driven and not coddled.
And you will experience the certain joy that only a car of excellent design can bring.
And when you come back with a smile on your face, don’t say we didn’t warn you.
Put a smile on your face. Drive a Honda.
