# 14 1989 Honda Civic DX


This was one of the best small cars ever made! The 1.5 Litre 16V OHC fuel injected engine was sweet as sugar. It made 92 HP and because the car was so light (still researching the weight) it was pretty quick.

Strangely it came with a 5 speed manual but no tachometer! I bought an after market one just so I could keep on revving safely. The engine was finished very nicely with a black coated knurled aluminum valve cover, I liked to look at it.

It handled like a co-cart but for long highway trips it was kind of tedious, a little noisy with no cruise or air.

It was the first car I ever had where you could feel a sense of real quality.
