Wednesday, October 18,, 2000 THE OAKVILLE BEAVER C3 B e s t W h e e l s · O a k v i l l e T\vo new looks for Honda Civic Since its introduction in 1973, this trend-setting brand small car always seems to raise the quality bar a few notches with every suc cessive model. For 2001, the Civic stable consists of just the two-door coupe and the four-door sedan (the hatchback has been dropped). Each were developed separately (the coupe in the United States, the sedan in Japan) to keep the designs as dis tinctive as possible. Despite one less body style, the model lineup is nearly as diverse as before. Both the sedan and coupe are available in DX and LX versions. In addition, there's a sportier 2001 Honda Civic Coupe and more powerful Si. All Civics employ a l.7-litre SOHC fourcylinder engine that's both small er and lighter than the previous motor. The new powerplant puts out 115 horsepower in the DX and LX cars and 127 horsepower in the Si. A five-speed manual transmission comes standard on all Civics, while a four-speed automatic is available as an option. Along with new bodies and engines, the Civic's front and rear suspension has been completely revised to leave the back-seat floor area completely flat. The price-leader DX cars are understandably light on content, while the LX sedans and Si coupes come with air condition ing, power windows and locks, cruise control and AM/FM/cassette stereo. Finally, the top-drawer Si coupe adds 15-inch wheels, ABS, moonroof and an audio system with CD player. OPEN TO THE PUBLIC - KERR'S Annual U /mS ?
