The Honda Civic is a popular car made by the Honda company. It has been built and sold since 1972. Over the years, there have been 10 different main designs, called "generations."
When the Civic first came out, it was a small, fuel-efficient car. This was perfect because there was a fuel crisis happening. People needed cars that didn't use too much gas. The first Civic was available as a three-door hatchback or a sedan. The hatchback had a back window that lifted up and seats that could fold down. This made it easy to carry bigger things.

About the Honda Civic
The Honda Civic started as a subcompact car. This means it was quite small. Later, it grew a bit and became a compact car, which is a medium-sized car.
Modern Features
Newer Civic models, starting from the 8th generation, often have a digital speedometer. This shows your speed using numbers on a screen instead of a needle.
Driving Options
Most Civic models, like the DX, LX, and EX, let you choose how you want to drive. You can pick a car with an automatic transmission. This means the car changes gears for you. Or, you can choose a manual transmission. With a manual, you change the gears yourself using a stick shift and a pedal called a clutch.
Sporty Models
The sportiest versions of the Civic are the Civic Si and the Type R. These cars have more powerful engines. They are only available with a manual transmission, which gives drivers more control.
Civic in Canada
In Canada, there was a car called the Acura CSX. It was very similar to the 8th generation Honda Civic. It was sold between 2006 and 2011.
