Civic Named Best Used Car Value    

    TORRANCE, Calif., June 18 -- The Honda Civic has earned the
honor of Best Passenger Car Value and Best Overall Car Value among all used
cars according to vehicle studies conducted by IntelliChoice Inc., an
independent research firm.

    IntelliChoice calculates the relationship of the purchase price and the
total five-year cost to own and operate a vehicle in order to determine its
value.  For model years 1996-1998, 2,400 cars, trucks and sport utility
vehicles were evaluated by IntelliChoice to establish the best overall value.
    Already the best-selling small car in America, the Civic has received the
honor of Best Passenger Car Value and Best Overall Car Value for used cars for
two of the last three years.
    "The Civic's reputation for dependability, quality and reliability in a
fun-to-drive package makes it a popular choice for new and used car buyers,"
said Dan Crowe, remarketing manager for American Honda.  "The Civic also holds
its value better than any other subcompact on the market."
    Earlier this year, IntelliChoice named the 1999 Civic in three categories
for "Best Overall Value of the Year" awards.  The Civic DX sedan was named
Best Car Value under $20,000, the Civic CX/DX/HX coupe, sedan and hatchback
models were honored as Best Subcompact under $14,000 and the Civic LX/EX coupe
and sedan models were named Best Subcompact over $14,000.
