I owned a 1975 Honda Civic. Got 40-45 mpg on the highway. Weighed 1800 lbs, and had 53 HP. No AC. Good car for what it was. Doubt it would pass any current crash standards.

Look at the Civic now, it bloated in weight and has bells & whistles.
And kids love sticking those ridiculous fart cans on the exhaust systems.

I know one test that your 75 Civic would have KICKED BUTT in. That’s the bumper test. Today’s cars are PATHETIC - that one could take a good bump and laugh it off with maybe a scratch on the (rubber) bumper guard...while the other guy is out $1500, plus rag disposal. I’m still angry they backed off of those standards.
