Ifyou, as a driver, were asked to describe a Canadian winter, chances are your answer. would be unprintable. Canadian winters can be bitterly cold, treacherously icy and all too often there’s snow up-to you-know-where. ' . While most Canadian drivers face this one common problem, not all cars sold j in Canada have the one common feature that can help alleviate that problem. That is, front wheel drive. All Hondas have front wheel drive. The Chevette, Acadian, Datsun 210, Toyota, "Mazda, Volvo and most of the other cars sold in Canada, don’t. ia - * Basically, the difference is push versus pull. With the tradi- . tional front engine, rear wheel drive system the rear wheels try and push the car through the snow. Unfortunately, all that's over those_wheels i is an empty trunk, Sg over them. With Fonds s front wheel drive system, just the AK . opposite is true. a ,-7 ‘The engine is mounted CF o ‘ over the drive wheels, so \_ at the weight helps the wheels to bite into the snow and pull the car | through it. And because the wheels that are a pulling the car are the wheels that are steering Vi the car, you get better steering control. But a car does | Wi 7; not make it through Canadian winter after winter by ty! ' front wheel drive alone. To do that, and live to a ripe old ps 7 iq! age, it must be able to withstand rust. Every 1979 Honda gate is guaranteed for three years against rust perforation due to cor- f | Ir vt rosion caused by manner or materials used in building it.

And an electric rear window defroster. All stan- dard. Canadian winters and front wheel drive are just two of the reasons why Honda Civic is the best selling small car’ in Canada. There are plenty more. You can see for yourself by coming in to a Honda dealer for a test drive and talk with one.of our sales people. You'll fmd that our sales people aren’t pushy. But then, they don’t have to be, because their carhas got pull. Honda, .Youdon't get to be No.1 by being second best. i “Source IL.
