It's Here!
At Troy Honda
The All New 2001 Civic

2001 Civic LX Sedan, automatic transmission,
side air bags, AM/FM/Cass, ES1651PBW

More room, Safer, More 'ower,
Better Mileage, Cleaner for Environment!

Ultra Low Emission Vehicle!

It's hard to improve on perfection, but Honda engineers have managed to bring the all-new
Civic to even greater heights. And proportions. Technical innovations like a flat rear floor
make its interior roomier. Big enough for five adults, with headroom and legroom to spare.
The new body design also allows for a larger cargo area so you can take all their stuff, too.
The seat5s are wider for extra comfort. The cabin is packed with luxurious amenities.
While the engine is smooth, quick and performs like a dream. The only thins the civic
Sedan is missing is you and your friends. Test drive one today.
