Background and Identification
The 1988-1991 Honda Civic is Honda's 4th generation of their highly successful compact/subcompact car. This generation of Honda saw a few design updates, including double-wishbone suspension, a lowered hood line and mild face lifts. The US only saw Civics with fuel injection, while other countries could also buy a Civic with a carbureted engine, with the base line model utilizing a 1.2 L SOHC single carburetor engine. The base model was labeled as the Civic STD and was only available in hatchback form with a 4-speed manual (5-speed in Canada) transmission or a 4-speed automatic. Other trim levels included the DX, LX and EX, each one featuring increased add ons over the previous such as power windows, AC, larger engines and alloy wheels. Honda also offered the Civic SI, a sport version of the civic that was only available as a hatchback with a manual transmission (except in Canada) and no power steering.
