The sixth-generation Honda Civic was introduced in 1995. It retained its class-leading handling, thanks in part to its front double wishbone suspension. However, the sixth iteration of Civic did not have the high power-to-weight ratio of its predecessors. Two wagons were also made on the platform; the JDM Orthia, based on the Civic sedan, and a Domani-based model, sold as , in Europe. Neither were offered in North America. A Domani-based five-door liftback was also offered for sale in Europe alongside the regular Civic model from 1995 to 2001.
