My Favorite Civic From The List

The 5 Most Important Honda Civics Ever

Whether you love or hate it, the Honda Civic has been a popular car choice for the masses since the 1970s. To honour the promising 2017 variation, let's take a look back at the most significant Civics from the past

EK9 Civic Type R (1997-2000)

Starting with the EK4 SiR, Honda decided to tinker with the car until it met the company’s own standards for a performance hatch. After some fettling, the EK chassis acquired the Type R badge in 1997 and was known as the EK9 (video review coming soon!). Continuing Honda’s talent for producing innovative engines, the powerplant of the EK9 had one of the highest specific outputs of the time by conjuring 180bhp from just 1.6 litres of displacement.

Sharing many components with the DC2 Integra Type R, the EK9 utilised its minimal 1090kg kerb weight to become one of the all-time great hot hatches. With V-TEC kicking in at 6000rpm, the original Civic Type R provided the perfect performance platform for JDM lovers of the late 90s.

An Interesting Opinion

Why Smart People Love Spending Time Alone

Turns out, being an introvert has its own set of perks: stronger relationships, more energy, getting shit done. And since introverts must have their "me time," being smarter can be added to the list of positive introvert attributes.  

It also found that the more social interactions someone has with friends, the happier and overall more satisfied with their life they are... except for one major exception. Highly intelligent people were actually found to have the opposite correlation. As in, they experienced more happiness with fewer social interactions. When these brainiacs are forced to spend time with others, even if it's with friends, it doesn't bring them as much life satisfaction as it does to less-intelligent folks.

"High general intelligence might allow people to better handle new things that humans only recently are encountering, such as managing one's life using computers, smartphones, etc., and not needing (for survival purposes) to associate with friends on a daily basis," he posited. "So, it's more like high intelligence might allow people to more comfortably live outside of natural conditions." 

It's a question of adaptation, in other words; in a modern, technology-driven world that relies less on person-to-person contact, more intelligent people might find themselves better able to cope, and are therefore less happy when faced with their savanna-dwelling ancestors' habits.
