I'm starting to look for a new car. I want to stay with honda cause their simply the best. But where I live its a little harder to get around with front wheel drive. I was wondering if honda made any coupes or sedans with AWD. thanxx

Honda made a civic wagon 89-90ish that was 4wd. Besides newer models like the CRV and the Pilot/MDX I cant think of any awd/4wd Hondas. Acura did make a Isuzu Trooper replica in the mid 90s with the 4wd, I cant member the name of it right now though.

Acura SLX is the same thing as an Isuzu Trooper. I had a Trooper and that thing could do some serious off roading. It's a V6 with 4wd.

Yea there is the SLX (Trooper), Passport (Rodeo) MDX, Pilot, Element and the CRV. Those are all SUVs though.

If you like Honda cars and want AWD I say get a Subaru legacy or Imprezza.

Those old Civic awd's are crap. I'd find a different car for awd unless you want an suv.

I very much agree...... Legacy or Impreza. If you are looking for an inexpensive impreza you could look for a 2.5RS they are 4wd, or find an early Legacy awd turbo. They are nice aswell.

They also made some AWD preludes in 88-91 models...i think. This may be a canadian only thing though....not sure.

AWD Prelude? I know they made the all wheel stearing Preludes those years but never heard of an all wheel drive Prelude.

Those are the SI 4WS, and those are 4-wheel steering systems, not 4 wheel/all wheel drive. they are Front-wheel drive cars

ok, it was something i saw in passing. It said AW"something" on the door pillar, couldn't remember if it was AWS or AWD. If you want a really sick AWD get a early 90 celica, they are rare finds but man you can beat AWD power, light weight and a turbo to boot...friend had one it wasgreat till he rolled it.

4WD, 5speed gearbox with one "reduction gear" - even lower gearing than 1st. Theese are extremely rare, but they do exist. Even seen two other on Autotrader some time ago.

Neighter did Europe. That is why I said that they are extremely rare. Probably have to get "overnight car from JAPAN" :D
