1997 - 2000 Acura 1.6 EL Pre-Owned

What would you get if you found a 1997 to 2000 model year Honda Civic 4-door sedan with leather seats and trim (optional), a wood grain dash and luxury features? You'd get a slightly used Acura 1.6 EL, in Canada at least. It's not too often that a major automotive manufacturer builds an exclusive Canadian model but this was and still is the case with Acura's lowest priced model. The Japanese premium company didn't go overboard trying to disguise its entry-level car's compact roots either, despite the brands luxury image. The addition of restyled headlamps, an Acura grille and reshaped taillights 'transformed' the look. On the positive side the fact that the price didn't increase substantially from a fully-loaded version of the lesser Honda model made getting into a premium brand easier for those less heeled.
