  Honda Insight (1999 - 2003) (Classics Reviews)
  The Honda Insight is based on the Honda J-VX hybrid sports car concept vehicle, which was unveiled at the 1997 Tokyo Motor Show. The car took a while to get off the drawing board and on to the road, however, with the first of the Japanese carmaker's hybrid sports cars going on sale in Japan
• 
  Honda S2000 (1999 - 2009) (Classics Reviews)
  Honda took nearly 30 years to replace its S800 sports car – but we reckon the S2000 was well worth the wait. With 240bhp available from its 2.0-litre engine and a 9000rpm redline, this rear-wheel drive two-seater was not for the feint-hearted. There’s a bit of debate about
• 
  Honda Civic (1995 - 2000) (Classics Reviews)
  The Mk6 Honda Civic was introduced in 1995. Available as a hatch, coupe and five-door, the latter owes a lot to British input, sharing many of its components with the Rover 400 and 45. It was also built at Honda’s Swindon plant. With better equipment levels than many of its British
• 
  Honda Prelude (1991 - 1996) (Classics Reviews)
  Honda threw caution to the wind with for the fouth generation of its Prelude coupe. Gone was the angular design and the pop-up headlights, replaced by smoothly styled curves. The company tried to talk up the aggressive, masculine nature of the new look – but it was obvious to everyone
• 
  Honda Beat (1990 - 1995) (Classics Reviews)
  in the Twin Ring Motegi circuit as a part of an annual Beat ownerss meeting. In total, 569 Honda Beats took part in the parade – a world record for the largest parade of Honda cars.

  The Honda NSX changed the way the world viewed the Japanese motor industry. Alongside
• 
  Honda Accord (1989 - 1993) (Classics Reviews)
  Well made and beautifully engineered. The vast majority are unerringly reliable with correct servicing. American Jo LaCicero's lasted 1,000,000 miles and Honda rewarded him with a new one.
• 
  Honda Concerto (1989 - 1994) (Classics Reviews)
  The Honda Concerto was launched in 1989, a spin-off from Honda’s relationship with Honda. And while much of the engineering was carried out by Honda (the EF Civic and the Concerto had quite a bit in common, for example), all versions of the Concerto for Europe were assembled at the Rover
• 
  Honda CRX (1987 - 1991) (Classics Reviews)
  As hot as any hot hatch and still looks great.
• 
  Honda Integra (1985 - 1989) (Classics Reviews)
  Honda’s medium-sized family car sat between the Civic and the Accord. This version was launched in 1986 and went on sale with the Civic Shuttle’s 1.5-litre three-valves-per-cylinder engine and a choice of either four-speed auto or five-speed manual. Power was an adequate 87bhp
• 
  Honda Jazz (1984 - 1985) (Classics Reviews)
  When it comes to small cars, Honda have always had a unique approach. The Japanese K-class of microcars gave us the N600 and the Z600 coupe – buzz boxes with tiny free-revving OHC air-cooled engine. The Jazz fits perfectly into this lineage, but still managed to cause drivers to stop
• 
  Honda Quintet (1980 - 1985) (Classics Reviews)
  The Honda Quintet, or Quint as it was known as in Japan, was a stand-alone five door model that sat in the range between the Civic and the Accord. In its home market, the Quint was sold through the Honda Verno sales network, alongside upscale models, such as the Vigor (a luxury Accord
• 
  Honda Z600 (1973 - 1974) (Classics Reviews)
  The Honda Z600 Coupe was an interesting addition to the mini-car sector during the 1970s. It joins the likes of Suzuki Whizkid, Cappuccino, and Daihatsu Copen in the ranks of the desirable, sporting Japanese Kei-cars. It's no surprise that it's such an appealing package give
• 
  Honda S800 (1966 - 1971) (Classics Reviews)
  Honda's first attempt at a sports car wasn't half bad. It was designed to fit in the Japanese market Kei-Class, which imposed severe restrictions on the size of the car and its engine. The first S-models were the 500 and 600, but these weren't exported - but the S800 did make
• 
  Honda S-MX (1995 - 2000) (Classics Reviews)
  The Honda S-MX (or SMX) is a Japanese Minivan. It has two rows of bench seats and can accommodate up to five passengers. In a bid to maximise interior space, the traditional floor-mounted gearbox has been replaced by a column-mounted shift. Only available
• 
  Honda Civic Coupe (1994 - 2003) (Classics Reviews)
  There’s no easy way to say this, but Honda completely missed the point of a coupe with its two-door Civic. In fact, that’s really all this car is – a two-door Civic. There’s no ‘wow’ factor, no firmed-up suspension, no folding glass roof, no hot engines
• 
  Honda Accord Mk3 (1985 - 1989) (Classics Reviews)
  The third generation Honda Accord adopted striking wedge shaped styling debuted in the 1984 Civic. It was a bold step into the 1980s, and as with the previous generation, was usefully larger than the previous Accord. As before, the Accord boasted a generous equipment tally in the top most models
• 
  Honda Legend Mk1 (1985 - 1990) (Classics Reviews)
  For most British enthusiasts, the Honda Legend will always be associated with the Rover 800 , the two companies' first true joint ventue product. Of the two, it was the Legend that appeared first, being launched in October 1985. In visual terms
• 
  Honda Civic Mk3 (1983 - 1987) (Classics Reviews)
  The third generation Honda Civic was unveiled at the 1983 Frankfurt Motor Show, and was a marked change in direction from the previous two iterations. It sported interesting new wedge-shaped styling, and a vertical rear end, previewing Honda's changing design language during the coming decade
• 
  Honda CR-X (1983 - 1987) (Classics Reviews)
  The first generation Honda CR-X appeared like a bolt from the blue at the Frankfurt Motor Show, and proved that its maker was deadly serious about building sports cars to fill he vacuum in the market left in the wake of the death of the Triumph TR7 and MGB. It was essentially a shortened Civic
