![[SOLD] 1994 Honda Civic EF5 Beagle Walkaround + Driving](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/iuA02NoOf-E/mqdefault.jpg)
Man, I love 90s Hondas.
Fr
The Civic we got in the US from 1988 to 1992 was one of the best looking mass-market cars I've ever seen. I wouldn't change a thing about it.
Thanks Zack! It was our pleasure having you and looking forward to working with you more in the future!
by 1994 North America already had the 5th generation Civic body style released in late 1991 as a 1992. This body style is still a 4th generation Civic holdover they must have kept selling in Japan. I owned a 1989 4th gen Civic Si I bought as my first car in 1993. I loved that car!
Had an 86 Wagovan that I purchased in 1997 for I believe $1900. I purchased it as mainly a winter commuter car and wound up having it for roughly 6 years. What a great little car which far exceeded any expectations I could have had. It was my first of many future Hondas I wound up owing, all due to that little wagon 👍
I’d love to find one for a winter car / daily
@@brdllc if you can still find one in great shape, do it. I wound it way more than originally planned bc it was so inexpensive to operate, and an all around great little car. I never actually sold it, it got passed down to two different family members after me.
@@mat13174 good ole Honda. I have a 2008 civic si now with 250k and counting. That’s enough to sell me on another, I just love older cars. How was the awd in the wagovan? We get decent snow here every now and then in Ohio
@@brdllc believe it or not, mine was FWD and I still never had any issue in the snow as that was the car that got me through every winter and never left me stranded. My friend had an AWD version and he swore by the thing
@@mat13174 I’m a firm believer in fwd being perfectly fine for winter unless you live in Alaska lmao. That’s good to hear tho, I always just put studded snow tires on the front, and leave all seasons on the rear on my 8th gen civic si and I’ve never got stuck.
I think manual + AWD is an underrated combination. I know everyone wants RWD, but I like the better performance offered by an AWD system. That’s why I always felt the 1991 Isuzu Piazza RS Turbo with its AWD system and Lotus-tuned passive 4WS system was a very underrated car that could’ve been a lot more impressive had the put the effort into it.
4wd
It’s getting difficult to find awd or 4wd and manual in new cars, I got a great deal on my 2022 wrx base model with the six speed, and it’s awesome in NE Ohio weather!
This thing looks super sharp in that color and with those wheels!
The 84-87 civic wagon was available with awd also.
Follower/mutual on twitter but for some reason never got around to watching any RUclips videos. So glad I did, awesome channel dude, so glad you love these weirder cars too.
"A certain Countach and A-Class Mercedes." Doug DeMuro has entered the chat.
Reminds me a lot of my Honda Fit in terms of proportions. But when I first found out about this car I kinda understood why older folks hate wagons so much. This model looks really nice. But Ive seen old ads and frankly these didnt look too appealing and its not surprising they axed it
3:16 zack. 88-91 civic LX and the 90-91 EX had power mirrors and windows.
Yeah. I have no clue what he's on about.
Cool car you can definitely see how it morphed into the classic CRV very interesting
I had the previous gen Wagovan and it was a great little car - I would buy this car today equipped like your Beagle!
Excellent videos always zach. However there's just one thing I wanted to point out, and that is these were available with four-wheel drive in the United states. Honda called it real-time 4 wheel drive in the US. They also had the super low first gear, much like the Toyota Tercel 4 wheel drive tall wagon.
I was gonna say this, extremely rare, but I’ve seen a couple in my day.
So from what I kinda know about these things, this would be a Shuttle trim level model. The Shuttle Beagle was a FULL-FLEDGED off road variant with special two-tone paint/exterior trim, front push-bar w/auxiliary lighting, Shuttle Beagle graphics, increased ride height and Del Sol(JDM CRX) alloys and extra interior features not shown on this model! Always wanted this generation Civic Wagon, BUT after discovering the Shuttle/Shuttle Beagle, the U.S. spec Civic wagon version may as well be a 1973-78 Civic wagon in comparison feature-wise. Cool vid and great to shed some light on this cool and unique 90’s Honda I’m sure a lot of EF Civic fans weren’t aware of!
I will say, the top trim for the civic of this gen (LX) did get power windows and mirrors
Damn, it even has a radio that plays mini-discs. Peak 90s Japan right here
Funnily enough I saw this thing on Cars and Bids before seeing this video. Such a cool car and in such good condition. Sold for only 10k too, I'm jealous.
I always wanted one of those! It's bizarre to compare this to a crv, i get the argument but to me, this is a fully versatile awd small car, maybe the hrv would be closer to it but the cvt kills it...a manual hrv? hell yeah!
Tall wagons like this, the Toyota Tercel, and the Eagle Summit were an interesting approach to compact wagons. The manual + AWD combo is something you rarely see. JDM cars tend to be extremely well taken care of because of their strict inspections and have low kilometers because the country's so small and the public transit is incredible. Owning a car is very expensive in Japan and parking can be scarce. I'm not a Honda guy but I respect this one.
JDM cars also have the funniest model and trim level names.
I wouldn't say Japan is small. Its nearly as long as the
Eastern seaboard
Back then, thought the proportions of the car was weird, watching this video now, the position of the back strut tower confirms it again.
It has a hidden compartment bellow the passenger seat, is amazing, all other versions did not have it.
My kingdom for a Wagovan. Great find.
as a civic fan, beagle owner and lover of hatchbacks, i strongly approve of this civic beagle - never heard of this before but i love it.
I was going to say the same thing, now I’m going to have to find one to buy lol.
Yeah if you're going to look for one in the states you got to look for a 1988 to 1991 because this is considered the EF chassis in America the same time that we got the EF Civic hatchback and regular and SI models and also the EF 4-door sedan and also the CRX from 88-91
The one in the video is the Japanese one they kept selling later o n past 91 when we killed off this body style of EF chassis by 92 we were making the EG chassis which is the EG hatch EG sedan or EG coupe which is the 92 to 95
They were four-wheel drive or two-wheel drive depending on which model you get and either come with the d15 with 90 horsepower or the d16 same one in the video with 110 horsepower but they will be 5-speed manual not 6-speed
Also if you're going to get one and you plan to lower it you're better off getting a two-wheel drive model because of the pumpkin and the rear for the differential will be too low to the ground if you're somebody who wants to leave at stock ride height or lift it then go for getting the four-wheel drive model
A lot of people will also give it a little bit of a power bump and they'll put a d16 z6 engine or just the engine head from a 92-95 Civic EX or si and then you'll get VTEC and about a 20 horsepower bump

@@seattlejdmcivic I appreciate this information, thank you!
Well, I've got a question on that "SL" gear: is there a special way to use it? I mean, any unexperienced driver could easily mistake SL and 1st gears.
I'm not 100% sure, but I imagine you would use it in order to drive up an incline.
Usually it's a stronger spring you have to push through. It's pretty far over there. Some cars like the Toyota Tercel 4x4 locked it out unless it was in 4WD.
I never knew those existed. I had a friend with a Toyota Tercel wagon that looked very similar.
2:31 I've driven down this stretch of Route 3 so many times on my way back from work for many years
That's a really cool little car, SUPER CLEAN!
This fabric is called velour/velvet. I miss it dearly. 1990-93 Celica also had such in middle trims. Its far better than leather. I hate hownit got just removed and manufacturers pretend like alcantara is a replacement. Velour was medium trim between leather and basic cloth seats whioe alcatara is top option only and it doesnt even remotely feel as nice as real velour.
Thanks for sharing.
The 2 Door wagon was much better looking. This just says "Grandma's Wagon" all over it. I like your videos so keep it up! like the other Civic wagon you did.
I will always love me 90s Honda civic and the civic wagon is my favorite
Wow this car looks like new
Yeah if you're going to BUY ONE in the UNITED STATES.... THEY ARE CALLED EF CIVIC WAGAVAN you got to look for a 1988 to 1991 because this is considered the EF chassis in America the same time that we got the EF Civic hatchback in regular and SI models and also the EF 4-door sedan and also the CRX from 88-91

Would you ever be up for reviewing a 2018 Honda Accord, 2.0t, 6MT? We're hard to find...
I love 1980's-1990's Honda gauges. You can read them.
Carrozeria head unit with MiniDisc niice
So freaking rad
You also forgot that Honda also had the passport at the time which was a rebadged isuzu rodeo
1995 was the 1st year for CRV in Japan. 1997 was USA and Canada.
Looks freakin' mint wow🎉
Oof... The USDM "Wagovan" was a trim. That's like calling a Civic Si a Civic Type-R because you don't understand the differences in trim. It's just a Civic Wagon.
Civic Wagons come in FWD and RT4WD trim in the USDM market, similar to a JDM Beagle or Shuttle.
I miss my 91 ef with a b16
If you are in the DC area i have few cars for you to reveiw.
color is dope
i own this exact car! so cool to see it on youtube lol
Honda crossroad!? I had no idea there was an alternative discovery. Maybe it would be reliable. Lol
I could use civic like that. Current civic is way too large and heavy.
Power windows/ locks came on LX and EX civics.. sunroofs optional in the states.... Also in 1994, the Honda Passport SUV was available in the United States.... I know you're starting out, so you gotta learn to do your research...
Also the "wagovan" name was dropped after the third Civic generation, they transitioned to the name "Shuttle" instead.
Fabulous
I have never owned or driven a car with headlight wipers or washers,but I always just assumed they washed or washed & wiped,whenever you squirted the windscreen washers! Obviously not!
Its weird because EF model/chassis finished in 1991 !
Nice 😊
I think they were called Honda Shuttles in England.
It's not that the Japanese were saving the best for themselves. The American car companys were so remedial at making quality and value. They begged the US government to slap stupid amounts of taxes on imports. So the Japanese markets got savvy and gave us roll up windows. All while a 1990 240SX had an HUD option
Basically a CR-V before the CR-V
90s Hondas are the best
72K KM (44K miles) for a 30yo car is amazingly low mileage.
@bobchan1666 yes this car is definitely one of the cleanest 90’s Hondas I have ever seen, in the top 3 for sure. But I’m confused, I thought this generation ended after 91 (at least for North America). Guess not in japan.
The Japanese don't drive much. It's expensive to own and park a car there, their public transit is incredibly good, and cars are inspected every few years and must be kept in nearly mint condition to pass.
This thing is itching for a k-swap!!
Tony Hawk's first car
hey, i know those guys :)
cool car. it's 4 wheel drive you mean.
too bad these rot too fast too quickly
Man I love the Japanese
Give-up on the big bottle test /////enough already !!!,
I feel bad for you being forced to watch Zach's channel where he does things his way. Let us know where you're being held and we'll send help.
YAH >> you're right the size of a bottle holder should determine if you should buy a vehicle or not ! Brilliant deduction Watson.
@@bwofficial1776
That is a stupid part of the reviews. No one cares
NEVER. Hydration is important.
@@MattExzy lame
Back when cars had personality, that sadly has ieed n all cars look like generic blobs now
these looks comically unproportional
it's like you take a 90s civic wonder,
stretch it in photoshop from midway upwards and also elongate it slightly, then add another set of doors
not surprising coming from the country who invented chibi and kawaii-stuff
Man that wagon is sick!!! Sorry that Beagle is sick!!! The color just pops and an RHD shoooooo I’d trade my 2008 civic for that one on a heartbeat
Wanna sell your civic?
