Honda City Submodels
The Honda City, first launched in 1981, was an innovative subcompact hatchback known for its clever 'Tallboy' design. This maximized interior space on a very small footprint, a concept that proved popular in crowded Japanese cities. Its most famous feature was the optional Motocompo, a 49cc folding scooter designed to fit perfectly in the car's trunk, offering a complete urban mobility solution.
The City's collectibility is driven by its quirky 1980s styling and JDM heritage. The high-performance Turbo and Turbo II 'Bulldog' models are the most sought-after variants. The Turbo II, with its aggressive widebody fenders and intercooled engine, has become an icon. Finding a City with its original, matching Motocompo scooter is the ultimate goal for many collectors and significantly increases the car's value.
Buying Tips
- Rust is the biggest enemy of these cars. Thoroughly inspect the sills, wheel arches, floor pans, and around the windows.
- On Turbo models, check the turbocharger for excessive shaft play or oil leaks. The unique electronic fuel injection system can also be tricky to diagnose and repair.
- Interior plastics and upholstery are often brittle or faded. Finding replacement trim pieces is extremely difficult, so a complete and tidy interior is a major plus.
- If a Motocompo scooter is included, verify that it runs and, for top value, that its VIN matches the one assigned to the car.
