IntroduçãoDesde pequeno que este modelo do Honda Civic me conquistou pela sua estética, pelo que aqui vai a merecida homenagem.
Espero que gostem.

Esta geração esteve em produção de 1984 a 1987, apenas 4 anos.
A gama articulava-se em torno de 4 versões, o que tornava a gama Civic muito completa para a época.
Em adição à tradicional (e do meu ponto de vista a mais bonita) versão 3 portas encontramos um elegante sedan de 4 portas, um coupé desportivo de referência, o CRX, e uma inovadora carrinha, a Shuttle.
Infelizmente, apenas as versões de 3 e 4 portas foram comercializadas em Portugal.
De fora ficou também a versão topo de gama, o Civic Si, disponível no Japão nas versões 3 portas e CRX.
Esta versão lançou pela primeira vez no mercado o motor ZC.
Trata-se de um motor de 1.6 litros, 2 árvores de cames à cabeça e 16 válvulas, debitando 135 CV às 6500 rpm. Este motor foi o antecessor do famoso motor B16A que lançou a tecnologia VTEC em 1989 e veio a ser comercializado em Portugal no Civic 1.6i-16 de quarta geração (versão com 130 CV).
No mercado Japonês estava ainda disponível o agora muito cobiçado kit Mugen para o motor ZC, que elevava a potência para uns fabulosos 173 CV às 7600 rpm.
Para completar a transformação a Mugen vendia ainda um kit aerodinâmico muito apelativo.

História em Português
Gama completa: Civic 4 portas, 3 portas, Shuttle e CRXO conceito de "gota de água" criou uma linha radicalmente diferente, mais adaptada aos gostos europeus.
De tal forma que a versão de 3 portas foi galardoada em Turim com o "Troféu de Design Automóvel" de 1984.
Uma característica importante foi a introdução, em toda a gama, de motores em liga leve e com 12 válvulas. Objectivo? Melhorar a combustão, aumentar o binário e reduzir os consumos. A partir de 1985 passa a usar o sistema de injecção, juntamente com o catalisador. O primeiro motor dessa época foi o bloco de 1.5 litros, com 90 CV de potência. A inovação da gama ficou ainda marcada pelo lançamanteo das carroçarias Shuttle (o antecessor dos actuais MPV) e CRX (um coupé desportivo e compacto).
A partir de 1985, o Shuttle foi equipado com o sistema 4WD Real Time, capaz de engrenar automaticamente a tracção integral, quando tal fosse necessário.

História de uma perspectiva americana
The Civic grew up in 1984, not only in size, but also in terms of design sophistication. A new wheelbase of 96.5 inches represented an increase of 5 inches, making Civic four-doors and wagons identical to the Accord in this dimension. A new 1.5 liter-engine (formerly referred to as 1,500cc) with 12 valves (three valves per cylinder) and 76 horsepower was found underhood, except on the base hatchback, which had a new 1.3-liter 60-horse unit. Transmission choices were the same as previously: four- and five-speed manuals and a three-speed automatic. A revamped suspension, though no longer with an independent rear setup, offered a space-efficient design along with fine ride and handling characteristics.
The lineup consisted of three hatchbacks (base, DX and S), a sedan, a tall wagon and a new two-seater called the CRX. As before, the base car was fairly spartan. The DX came with the five-speed manual, bodyside moldings, a split/folding rear seat, rear window defroster/wiper/washer and tilting steering wheel. The S had sport seats, reclining rear seats and the same hardware upgrades, such as a rear stabilizer bar, as before. The sedan and wagon were again equipped similarly to the DX hatchback.
The new CRX was basically the Civic chassis under a sporty body. Two models were offered: the base CRX and the CRX 1.5. The chief difference between the two was that the base CRX had a 1.3-liter engine (which allowed the car to score amazing fuel economy ratings of 51 in the city and on the 67 highway) and the CRX 1.5 had the 1.5-liter engine. All CRXs had a two-tone paint scheme, comprised of White, Blue or Red with a Silver lower bodyside and bumper treatment.
A neatly chiseled exterior devoid of gimmickry, an intelligent interior design with supportive seats, large gauges and high-quality fit and finish made the 1984 Civic line attractive and an immediate success. Dealers would routinely have slim pickings on their lots, and, as a result, they didn't have to discount the cars too much, if at all.
Introduced in 1985, the hot-rod CRX Si came ready to run with a fuel-injected version of the 1.5-liter engine that pumped out 91 horsepower. Able to hit 60 mph in less than 9 seconds, the Si also boasted handling enhancements, such as 14-inch alloy wheels with 185/60R14 high-performance tires. A power sunroof was standard on the Si, as were a monotone paint scheme and sport seats.
A CRX HF (High Fuel economy) model replaced the CRX with the 1.3-liter engine. The HF had an eight-valve version of the 1.5-liter engine that produced just 58 horsepower but offered more torque and thus better acceleration around town. Mileage figures for the HF stood at 52 in the city and 57 on the highway.
The other Civics continued unchanged for this year, with the exception of the wagon, which, later in the model year, became available with four-wheel drive and a six-speed manual gearbox. As the Civic's reputation for quality, clever engineering and steadfast reliability continued to grow, so did the little Honda's popularity, as sales figures that topped 200,000 annually attested.
Flush-mounted headlights made it easy to tell the 1986 Civics from the older models. Other changes included a four-speed automatic and an Si version of the Civic hatchback, the latter geared toward those who wanted the performance of the CRX Si but needed a four-seat vehicle. Other perks for the Civic Si hatchback included a removable glass sunroof, a full-width taillight panel and color-keyed front airdam and roof spoiler. The CRXs received the same updates as the other Civics, including the flush headlights.
For 1987, the four-wheel-drive (4WD) system for the Civic wagon was revised. "Real Time" 4WD automatically channeled power to the wheels that had optimum grip and did away with the driver having to decide (and then move a lever) if four-wheel drive was needed.

Comentários de um site canadianoLa Honda Civic 1984-87 est une excellente petite voiture ayant une bonne habitabilité. La carrosserie affiche un modernisme par rapport à la génération précédente qui était toute rondelette. L'intérieur est dégagé, clair et aéré.
Le rendement du moteur est excellent, il est vivace et l'utilisation de ce véhicule est très agréable. Il s'agit d'un modèle qui consomme très peu d'essence. Par contre, ce modèle manque d'insonorisation.
La Honda Civic d'entre 1984 et 1987 est très recommandée pour sa fiabilité générale et le bas prix de ses pièces. Toutefois, la plupart des voitures de ce modèle ont tendance à rouiller et à perforer. Vérifiez donc attentivement l'état de la carrosserie et du châssis si vous considérez l'achat d'une de ces voitures.
