In the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s, a shorthand was established among the Civic Fanbase, where the Japanese domestic market code for each vehicle is used in place of a generation numeral. The fourth-generation Civic or " EF Civic" would be available in three variants 3-door hatchback, 4-door sedan and 5-door wagon with various trim levels offered in each variant.
