Honda Civic Sedan 1.4 90

The Honda Civic Sedan 1.4 90 reaches 60 mph in 8.91 s (100 km/h in 9.43 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.94 s, tripping the lights at 81.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.72 s and the eighth mile in 10.90 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Civic Sedan 1.4 90

The 1987 Honda Civic Sedan 1.4 90 is a front-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 883 kg with 89 bhp, which works out at 100 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.72 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 8,239th quickest to 60 mph, and the 76th quickest of the 191 Hondas here. Its 81.8 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Honda Civic Sedan 1.4 90 0-60 time?
The Honda Civic Sedan 1.4 90 reaches 60 mph in 8.91 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 8,239th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Honda Civic Sedan 1.4 90 quarter mile time?
16.94 s at 81.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.90 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.72 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Honda Civic Sedan 1.4 90 have?
89 bhp and 883 kg, which is 100 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 172 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Honda Civic Sedan 1.4 90?
Closest here on pace: Holden Cruze 2.0 147 (8.88 s), Holden Epica 2.5 155 (8.95 s), Alfa Romeo 159 1.9 JTS 160 (8.92 s). Each one can be raced against the Honda Civic Sedan 1.4 90 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Honda Civic Sedan 1.4 90 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
