A fresh trade-in and a very different Civic from the typical examples available in the U.S.

This 1998 Honda Civic EK3 VTi is a Japanese Domestic Market, right-hand-drive example with 85,144 miles. Powered by Honda’s 1.5L 3-Stage VTEC engine paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, it combines the lightweight character of the EK chassis with one of Honda’s more interesting economy-and-performance-oriented VTEC systems.

Originally finished in silver, the car was changed to black while still in Japan. It has a clean, lightly modified appearance with Rota alloy wheels, a front lip, mesh grille, and Momo steering wheel while retaining the simple character that makes the EK-generation Civic so popular with enthusiasts.

The 3-Stage VTEC system is one of the features that makes the EK3 particularly interesting. Rather than simply focusing on higher-RPM performance, Honda engineered the system to operate differently across varying engine speeds and loads, balancing fuel efficiency with the more responsive character enthusiasts associate with VTEC.

Combined with the 5-speed manual transmission and lightweight EK platform, it gives this Japanese-market Civic a personality that is noticeably different from the typical U.S.-market Civic of the same era.

The modifications are simple and suit the car well. The Rota wheels, front lip, mesh grille, and Momo steering wheel give it a period-inspired enthusiast appearance without taking away from the classic EK Civic design.

Financing and nationwide shipping are available.
