18 Aug Throwback Civic EG Review

This throwback Civic EG review from Top Gear apparently dubbed from an old VHS is terrific.

By Aaron Gaghagen

We got the 5th generation Honda Civic in 1992 and the world was never the same. The 5th generation Civic had sleek body lines and advanced VTEC engines. For Throwback Thursday we offer a retro look at the, then new, Civic ESi and VTi from Top Gear back when they had legit car reviews. Could you imagine how many more B16 swaps would be out there if the USA would have had that sedan instead of just the Del Sol and EM1 Civic? Anyway, enjoy this blast from the past complete with a light jab from Tiff Needell to Jeremy Clarkson while reviewing the Civic rear hatch.

Nothing but Hondas. That’s exactly what you’ll find at VTEC Academy. Not because some of the other automakers’ cars that inherently drain the life out of the driving experience bore us, but because Soichiro Honda’s passion for motorsports and his company’s ability to express that in the machines they produce make a whole lot of sense.

VTEC Academy is a place for Honda fans who feel the same way and who seek the most accurate technical information and commentary to continue that very legacy and make whatever Honda it is that they drive just a little bit better. And faster.

The editors and contributors of VTEC Academy are some of the industry’s most experienced and trusted, which means the informative, unique perspectives you need are all right here. And, like you, we’re also obsessed with Hondas.
