blackandgold51 No point, tbh. Only reason to get a hybrid is for lowering emissions in inner cities where you won’t go over 40 mph.

I bought a 1992 Civic VX brand new in 1992 and still have it. It now has 645,000 miles and still looks and runs great. Still is my daily driver and lots of fun to own.

Dang. Seeing these cars all shiny and new makes me wish it was the early 90's again. This is such a great, well designed car

Been a car guy my whole life. When I was in my teens, I didn't care about the difference between a Civic or a Geo Metro. My 1st car was a 1970 Dodge Dart, 4dr 225ci /6. Shortly after I got a 78 Pontiac Firebird Formula 400 (400ci small block,TH400-trany, factory rated at 180hp). Family hated the Firebird so they got me a 85 Mercury Cougar 5.0 (140hp AOD) After going thru "the big three" US auto makers, I got a deal on a 93 Civic Vx hatch. It was my 1st Honda, bought in 2002 and Ive never looked back. 20 years later I'm on my 8th Honda and looking to collect more. Fun facts about the Vx hatchback: 55mpg was no fluke, it was thru great engineering. The 1.5 Vtec-E (E stood for Economy, it ran as a 12valve outside Vtec) made 92hp, 10 less HP than the non-Vtec 16valve 1.5 Dx base. It only came 5-speed, with the longest gears you will ever find in a civic. According to the owners manual, 2nd gear was good till 67mph, 3rd gear was 111mph. Vtec would "hit" at 2,500 rpm and redline was under 6k. Full acceleration from redline 2n'd to 3rd shift would still drop below 3k rpm.. The gears were really long and no torque at the bottom (Si gears were 58 in 2nd and 88mph in 3rd, at higher rpm too). That said, you only needed the first 3 gears when driving it hard as you will never get it out of 3rd. It was so light (no sunroof, no AC, manual steering, manual windows, no power anything, smaller brakes and 13" alloy wheels made by Enkei weighing only 7lbs each) It handled so well. No need to brake going into curves, you could take any turn full throttle simply by downshifting and driving out of it. You could merge on the freeway only using 2nd gear. My favorite was when just cruising at 70-80mph in 5th, it's perfect to downshift to 3rd and "race" to 100, a sweep spot in the power band and most other Hondas will need to shift to 4th early. I loved that car.. So much fun and +50mpg too !

A lot of Ricers are drooling 🤤

Yeah, no doubt. I never understood guys who fap themselves into an aneurysm over a damn Civic. Seems like people who don't have any money intensely rationalizing over why an econobox is the ideal automobile. It's obtainable by them, therefore it's the best, despite a myriad of cars being objectively better by a wide number of metrics. It's narcissism and sour grapes at the end of the day. Bring up an awesome vehicle that's more expensive and they'll go on a tirade about how much it sucks because they can't afford it.

Believe it or not I have a 1992 VX just like the one you tested here. I bought it used in 1996 with 60k miles on it. The car now has 214k , and still runs great at 28 years old. I don't get 55 mpg like you did in your test; I average around 40-45. However, my mileage is skewed somewhat, since I have to use larger 175/70-13 tires instead of the original stock 165/70s. Very few brands make the OEM size now. The car lacks many modern amenities such as an automatic transmission,power steering.and windows and locks. It also doesn't have the myriad screens and electronics modern cars do (I have added a modern stereo system with subwoofer and Bluetooth so I can use my smartphone). On the positive side, there's far less to go wrong. Over the years I've replaced the struts and other parts as they've worn out, but basically it's just been oil changes, brakes, and tires. My red VX has been a bullet proof reliable old friend for 24 years and counting.

You would of thought the Sentra coupe was Skyline. 115 hp vs 90 😂😂😂😂 civics cute, but slooooow unless you get an Si, which was still slower the SER sentra

As a current VX owner, the key to the economy was the D15Z1 engine, and one off long geared trans. That is 95% of the economy. A normal car will run an air fuel ratio of about 13:1. The VX when it was at low load and low RPM, would run at 22.5:1, which is a massive difference. The problem is you overcombust fuel, which releases NOX, and the car would fail emissions testing, which is why lean burn was gone after the 1st gen Insight. Couple that with the VX’s extremely tall gearing, and the economy is awesome. 55mph is at 1500rpm. 70mph is at 2000ish rpm. If it had the power and revved to 7,000rpm, it’s top speed would technically be 212mph. Other bits: Zero sound deadening from the factory. Passenger mirror was an option Aluminum engine mounts No rear wiper No power steering No power windows AC was an option Rear bumper had a small diffuser to improve drag. Wheels were 13x5 and 9lbs each, with less drag(I have mine, but upgraded for traction). 2189lb curb weight I believe. That’s doesn’t mean much in terms of highway economy, but did help out on the city economy. Word of warning....it may do 0-60 in 9.6 seconds, which may be impressive but that’s mostly because you only need to shift once, as you reach 70mph in 2nd gear. It is REALLY slow when it is in anything but the “high” cam, which is the equivalent of low cams on the other models. I’ve hit 110mph. With VX tires, it might have a 115 in it. To get to that speed, you better have a 4 mile oval though. 70 to 80 is FOREVER. Still a fun car that I daily, haul a lot in, and drive spiritedly.

My first new car was a 1987 CRX Si. It loved to be driven in a spirited fashion, so I typically obliged. Yet the gas mileage still managed to exceed my expectations (and Honda's claims). Most amazing was that when I drove the CRX Si like a sane person, I was able to get just over 50 mpg from it out on the highway - not just once, but on several occasions. It was truly a great car.

The 1992 EG Honda Civic was and still is the one that car thieves go for. I wanted one of these cars back in the day, but I do not like surprises when I walk outside my car ain't there. That car is easy interchangeable parts from 1992 all the way to 2000. I'm fan of a EF series Honda Civic, the Box rocks!

I mean remember we are just 5 to 7 years removed from 60-80hp carburated junk like the 4wd Tercel wagon(cool car but SLOW), Chevettes, 4 cylinder Mustangs that had the 1970's Pinto engine, 50hp diesel VW Rabbits.

WOW I learn something knew every day! The wheelbase on a CIVIC was longer than a Camry? Holy shit! Now that is shocking!

CLASSIC!!!

Great flashback moment. I had a 1992 Civic DX hatchback and loved this car. Only reason I got rid of it is at 180K miles, it got totaled. Paid $10K for the car new and 10 years later with 180K insurance valued it over $4K. Not bad.

Totally love those thin A-pillars!

Those hatch civics were the main things that I raced in my v6 mustang. Sometimes I'd win, other times I'd get gapped hard. Ahh, the good old early 2000s

My first car in 2000. A 92 DX hatch. I think it was only an 8 valve. It was a car you could get in and not have a worry in the world about reliability. The odometer just kept rolling and used no gas. Got it to 290k and was still mint. Always was worried someone would steal it during the early 2000s ricer crap. It met its end in 2004 when it hit a tree. Sure wish I had one again, but it will for sure probably be stolen these days.

I've given up looking for 90's hondas/acuras because of the tuner scene. In terms of theft, people claiming manuals are the "millenial anti-theft device" may be safe, but not if you have a 90's honda/acura

Love the old footage

My first car was a blue 95 LX 5MT that looked exactly like this one. I miss that thing...

I just got a 94 Civic EX sedan. Just needed some bushings and a new front bumper. Sweet little car.

My first car was a light green ‘92 Civic LX sedan passed down from my parents (they bought it new). I still remember when I brought the car to college in 2002, the alternator died the next day. Other than that, it was a great little commuter car. Ended up selling it to a friend in ‘06 when I moved back to my hometown.

My first car was a 93 charcoal grey CX hatchback, 5 speed, the only option was a/c, when it turned 200k I swapped the motor for an integra engine and it was very sweet, tokico shocks, skunk racing coil overs, still en brakes and eibach sway bars. I miss it...so much fun.

Had that same DX model at 00:20. Same pearl green Mica color, same body style. Absolutely base model slow as hell with the 4 speed auto but got close to 40 mpg. My sister drove it for 5 years then I had it for 4. Sold it with over 210k miles and kept seeing it around south Austin for several years afterward. An ex girlfriend dented the front fender so I got a white fender for it and never painted it so it was distinctive. Best car I ever had. Super cheap to fix. Left me stranded once. Blew a $10 heater hose.

I own a 94 Civic Si hatchback in mint condition. Yellow paint with black racing wheels. We put a B20z in it and boosted it. It's hilarious how much faster it is than the original specs. Lowered on KYB struts and Tein springs, the proper way. Really fast car. RWD V8s can't hang on those curvy backroads.

Ive wanted an EG hatch for awhile now, with a B18C swap, possibly K20, and just a few simple Spoon parts. Nothing ricer, just a clean car for enjoyable cruises.

K20/K24 "hybrid" - possibly the best N/A 4 banger on this planet.

Not disagreeing at all there, but more work than necessary for just some reliable power to overtake on freeways or merging into one etc. I'm just wanting a nice cruising car to enjoy, and the sohc motors are so weak, great gas mileage but very limiting. If I wanted to include the occasional track day weekend then maybe a hybrid build swap

@@tinystar3010 I have a coupe 95 DX with a jdm d15b VTEC Hughes HP d series ever made makes 130hp not bad for a 1.5L feels fast enough for daily driving and passing on the highway..

Had a 94 DX coupe. I still miss it.

2dr 90s civics are so much fun to drive. Small and nimble, go-kart like drive

Had a ‘92 Si hatchback when new, with powered moonroof, black. Awesome car, fun to drive, 125hp; sold it at 235,000 miles to a happy teenager many years ago.

I'm not much a honda fan, but i will say they're reliable.

Those cars were deathtraps and not as reliable as many claim.

I have always liked the hatchbacks.

The vx hatch is beautiful and gets 55mpg. I'd buy it for a commuter in a heartbeat if it were sold today

This ride on mower looks great! Fr tho I want to restore a hatchback of this era. No rice no mods no dummie gimmicks, just a clean time capsule civic

Yes! I hate it when ricers blast their obnoxiously loud aftermarket audio systems late at night when I am trying to get some sleep.

Great car. Reliable, looked well and did not have problems.

I used to see a lot of these in my childhood years. A few people I know used to own one of these.

My mom had the 4 door version while I was growing up, it was a cute car, my only complaints was that the A/C wasn't very powerful and the back seat leaned back a little too much. It ended up breaking down at 16 years of age a little before I was due to inherit it as a first car and it wasn't worth repairing. If it had been the hatchback version I would have been pretty disappointed about that.
