This was the first brand new car I had ever purchased. I think we bought it for around $24000 with taxes. It was basically a fully featured Civic with a few extras.
It had a 1.6 Litre VTEC Honda engine making 127HP but not a lot of torque (106 lb/ft I think). By todays's standards, that's bad, although that engine powered Hondas up until just recently.
Unfortuantly I bought the 4 speed automatic so my wife could drive it. I don't think she ever did drive it even once. That engine needed a 5 speed manual, it really did.
It had the cruise and the air and was plush for a car in that price range. Was a nice looking car too.
We traded it in for the mini van (next) in 2001.
