Mine is an actual wagovan.But people just call them want they want regardless. You never really know about wagons until you own one. Then figure out the facts about them.
no because it's a wagon still... (purely speculation:)a wagon designed to be cheaper and more practical(window bars and vinyl wipes clean) like a van, hence "wagovan"?
EDIT: i stand corrected...Australia got that generation nimbus(not sure about NZ). but you probably don't associate it with the RVR even though its just the SWB and LWB of the same vehicle
NZ got the Chariot, even the Chariot with the detuned Evo motor and 4WD
We also got the RVR, be it the 1800cc, the 2000cc, the 2000cc diesel or the Turbo version (the vast majority of sportsgear models are not turbo)
Also they do not really have Evo motors/running gear as such, similar but not the same and very detuned. Cant even swap the ECU to a EVO one as it will not run.
My parents had a 1992 RVR with the 2000cc DOHC non Turbo motor, not the sportsgear with the added bullbars and tyre on the back etc.
Was an ok car, very thirsty, not overly practical and pretty damn ugly.
A friend had a Manual Turbo one, it imploded spectacularly and cost a shit load to repair. Wasnt particularly quick either
That is ugly... it kinda makes me want one. I never thought I would get a Wagovan, which even sounds ugly, but I have one nevertheless. Would take a while to grow on you (me) I guess!
Why don't you guys call your wagovans Beagles?? You call them Shuttles when you aren't in Europe or Japan, so why not call them Beagles too? You will be even cooler when you say you have a BEAGLE!
That Civic 5 door is here in Europe too. Not bad looking little cars, even when equipped with a DOHC vtec!
I've found most people on here call em simply the "RT" models. But its the same in the world of like 96-00 Civics. They are all "EK"s, though only the actual CTR has those two letters, its an EJ6, EJ7 or EJ8, but at least in the world of those guys, no one cares.

RT= Real Time 4WD
There are lots of EK, just not USDM
JDM Hatches and sedans can be EK1(1300cc), EK3(1500cc SOHC), EK4 (1600cc DOHC VTEC) and EK9.
So you cant go around calling your EK1 a Type R because it isnt.
So our case still stands, not all Civic Wagons are Wagovans
I am glad a lot of cars here in Germany are still offered with standard transmissions. That 5dr civic can be bought here usually with a 5spd and can be found with the dohc 160hp vtec motor.
I was just thinking - Who cares what kind of engine/transmission it came equipped with from new? Our beloved EEs are underpowered by modern standards. We just swap 'em!
Hey so i just bought an 87 rt 4wd wagon, so i believe. The owners manual is for an 87 but the more im looking around, the more im getting confused. It is the 5sp with the super low gear. Anyone with some wisdom please help!

That has nothing to do with this conversation, its RT4WD so its not a wagovan
I'm looking to get a wagon but I want to make sure I make the right choice. between the dx and wagovan, can I easily tell the difference by badging? and I don't think anyone explained the differences that well. all I got was that the wagovan has DPFI. and what is the availability of these cars?
Comments
But, I have to ask, is it as wrong to incorrectly call a Wagovan a wagon, as it is to call a wagon a Wagovan?

I have a sticker that says otherwise. :P
Wagovans?
I have a sticker that says my CR-V is a Ferrari.... but as we all know a sticker doesnt mean a thing

And your point is?
I think it was supposed to be a question, though hard to tell.

That 5-door above is gorgeous! Looks like an EP3 with utility. I would buy one in a fast hurry.
A civic 5 dr is a civic wagon in my book..
The first one even has EP3 Si wheels on it..
EP3 Wagon.. I'd call it an EP5...
I agree with Bam.. I'd grab one quick if they were available here..
You lucky overseas bastards...
& I'd buy a whole bunch of cool cars over there....
