Honda
Civic Coupe
The all-new Civic Coupe has reinvented itself.From its styling to the
fuel-effıcient,* cleaner-burning engines to the completely redesigned
interior, everything has changed. We’ve made
the class-leading Civic more fun to drive,
and achieved a quadruple 5-star
safety rating.‡ It has all the
features you could ask for, and
some you may not have thought
possible. And yet, it’s still the
incredible value it always has
been. Wıth the same high level
of quality that the Honda name
promises. Amazing, but true.
‡NHTSA frontal and side-impact crash tests conducted in October of 2000.
Results useful for comparison with vehicles within 500 lbs. total weight.
At last, your desires are based in reality.

Honda is, fırst and foremost, an engine-building company,
driven by technical innovations and engineering excellence.
In the case of the all-new Civic Coupe, the mission was to
build a stylish and sporty car with a focus on performance,
economy and value.This is achieved through an advanced
engine, precise suspension and excellent safety features.

The new engines have signifıcantly more low-end power,

yet they offer excellent fuel economy.* Equally impressive,
they have received an ultra-low emissions rating. Always the
benchmark in its class, the all-new Civic Coupe is another
expression of all the things that people have come to expect
from Honda.Unsurpassed reliability. Durability. And quality.
