This would be like going back in time for me. My 2 sons put many miles on a 1985 Civic 3 door, that was reliable and fun to drive, when they were home from college in the summer. http://www.antiqueoldcars.com/1985-honda-civic-hatchback/1985-honda-civic-hatchback-old-vintage-cars-4/ It's amazing to compare MPG with the new HR-V, although the 85 was a much lighter vehicle.
