More Engine Info

1.8L

Pure gasoline. Massive torque and not so incredible fuel economy. That 2nd gear is fun.

Fun facts

1.

Belt

When sitting in the front you can't reach the seatbelt

2.

The Back Window

Perfectly placed to split your rear view in half. You'll never know if it's a cop or a normal car behind you.

3.

Start Button

Insert key. Turn key. Then press button. Because starting a car should feel like launching a 1.8L.

4.

Back Windshield Wiper

There isn't one... You just have to deal with it.

5.

Door Handles

Hidden in the window frame so your passengers stand there confused for 30 seconds trying to get in.

6.

Suspension

Civic will make sure you'll feel every single hole on the road.
