The first Life range came as a sedan with two or four doors and as a three door wagon, also sold as a commercial van, and it replaced the Honda NIII360. Passenger comfort was better than in the earlier Honda minicars, since Honda aimed to make a kei car as roomy as one liter cars of the period, and the wheelbase of 2,080 mm was eight cm longer than the predecessor's. The entire Life range had a water cooled Honda EA 356 cc engine with a balance shaft. The Life was only produced for four years, as the Civic proved to be much more popular. Each model year has its own page.
