Ya. I got an 88 Civic HB std
Ya. I got an 88 Civic HB std (4-spd) new. Got an '07 Yaris 3 dr new to replace it. Back then, the new Fit was quite a bit more and Honda would not negotiate. Only issues with Yaris- side mirrors not internally adjustable; can't get in &out of rear seat nearly as easily as the Civic; the ride is mushy with a lot of frt sway(apparently they fixed this with their "light" feel). I fixed mine with stiffer struts and better tires.
I prefer the cable clutch and throttle, better feel on both than hydraulic and tbw.
Right now, I'm waiting for the new HR-V to replace an '04 Matrix. this will be my Faux Fit.
