3-door 4-seater hatchback coupé, 4-door 4-seater saloon.

Very pretty small-medium range, larger and more sophisticated than civics, but sharing much of front-drive engine and transmission hardware. Coupé in Britain first, followed by saloon for '79. All with five-speed transmission or optional Hondamatic, all independent coil spring suspension, full and carefully-detailed furnishing and instruments, Both types sharing same floorpan/wheelbase, but saloon had much larger conventional boot. Replaced by even smarter second generation Accords.
