Civic’s sweeping line follows Honda theme

From page 33

All Civic Coupes have four- wheel double-wishbone indepen- dent suspension, as do other Civic models, and their handling is gen- erally superb.

To further improve handling and ride, the Si offers a front stabilizer bar, special gas-filled shock absorbers and larger 60- series 14-inch all-season radials. Light, precise power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering is stand- ard on all Si models.

The lightweight Civic Coupe also brakes extremely quickly, though 1 am surprised that the standard front-disc/rear-drum setup is carried over to the Si model. [ would have expected four-wheel disc brakes on the sporty Si model.

The DX has a lockable, one- piece fold-down rear seat while the Si has split, fold-down rear seats.

The Si offers a standard power-operated sunroof with tilt and slide features, tachometer, power outside mirrors, cruise con- trol, and improved interior trim.

Considering its high level of standard equipment, the Si is a much better value for $15,495 than the DX is for $12,995. How-

ever, both are priced on the high side in this class.

The Coupe shares the Civic sedan’s 262 em (103° inch) wheelbase, which is longer than that of the Civic hatchback. Front legroom and headroom is ade- quate but the Coupe’s rear seat legroom is tight, and there is a noticeable lack of footrcom under the front seats. Rear headroom is minimal too.

And while the Coupe is adver- tised as a Sive-seater, three people in the rear seat is quite a squeeze. This is typical of most coupes of this class, though.

Outward visibility from the cocxpit is excellent in all direc- tions, and dviver controls are easy to reach and use. The trunk is tal! and deep with the added conve- nience of fold-down rear seats.

According to Sim Miller, vice- president of marketing for Honda Canada, the Civic Coupe is ex- pected to appeal primarily to young buyers. .

“The target audience is ex- pected to be relatively young, with a high propertion of female buyers,’” he said.

The security of a trunk with out-of-view storage is part of the Coupe’s appeal, he suggested.
