The earliest models of the Honda Civic Feriowere produced in 1991. In general, the first generation existed until 1995. The model was very popular and in demand. Which is not surprising, since the 3-door hatchback, which was a predecessor, then ceased to be relevant. By the way, it was known as Honda Civic.
The novelty with the prefix "Ferio" became that sedan,which was so necessary to all. Its main features are excellent dynamic characteristics, spacious and comfortable interior, as well as excellent handling. But most of all potential buyers were pleased with the isolated baggage compartment. This "Honda Civic Ferio" was different from the hatchback, where passengers shared their space with things.
Especially popular was the Honda Civic Ferio intop modification. Under its hood was installed a 4-cylinder 1.6-liter engine, equipped with a PGM-FI injection system.
