After the Honda Civic hatchback's success in 1991, the Japanese carmaker decided to ad a trunk to it and created the coupe version. It had the same front end up to the B-pillar, but from there on, it was entirely different. The Civic Coupe was built in the U.S. and exported to Canada, Europe and even in Japan with as a right-hand drive model.
Compared to the hatchback, it had fewer engines available: a 1.5-liter with 105 hp and a top version with 1.6 liters and 125 hp. Both were offered as standard with a 5-speed manual transmission. A four-speed automatic transmission was offered as an option.
The four-wheel independent suspension with double-wishbone from the hatchback was kept and new shock absorbers were fitted to keep the car more planted on the road. The hatchback version was blamed to have too much understeer. The coupe version was better in that respect, but not much better. Still, it was a fast pocket-rocket due to its low weight of 1073 kg (2286 lbs). The 0-100 kph (0-62 mph) sprint was obtained in 8.7 seconds and the top speed was 200 kph (124.2 mph).
The interior options were limited to power-windows, power-steering, power moonroof and a radio-cassette player with 6 speakers. Some of these features were available only on selected markets. Air conditioning was not available on the car's launch.
