It is the first Honda model, which achieved remarkable numbers in Germany, derived from the S 360 and S 500/600. The Coupe differs not only through the roof, but also in the rear, as you can see on the hatchback in Figure 3. The cars are very short, agile, and have relatively high-revving engines with a lot of displacement. But no fear, these rotational speeds them do not matter over long distances. But then results a good performance with relatively low fuel consumption.

In all aspects the Honda do not surpass the English roadster of its time. So the suspension is not optimal despite the relatively short spring travel. Nevertheless, it remains a good drivable car even for bigger persons, relatively quiet, with excellent steering and good workmanship. It helps the company Honda clearly on the way to Europe.
