Honda Car Forum

I'm looking for a small, economical, older car to use as a utility van. All
I need it for is delivering computers, monitors, and stuff like that.

I saw a honda civic on the road last week that looked like it fit the bill.
It was small and had a square rear door. When I tried to find it on the
internet all I could find was ones shaped more like jelly beans than boxes.

I concluded it must be an older model. Can anybody tell me what years they
made the ones with square rear doors, and if they are dependable.

Thanks,

elf

You are actually looking for a VW Golf (or Rabbit).

From your description it sounds like you saw a Honda Civic Wagon. I
believe the last model year was 1991. Don't know much about it, but my
'87 Civic was a model of reliability. It is still running somewhere, but
it is no longer mine.
