Honda 145: Which Version Should You Choose?

The Honda 145 catalogue data contains one generation and one version, so there is no alternative engine, transmission, body style, or generation to compare. The sole choice is the 1.4 MT, a Coupe produced from 1972 to 1974. It combines an 80 hp, 1,433 cc Gasoline engine with a 4-speed Manual gearbox and FWD.

Therefore, choosing a Honda 145 is less about selecting between trims and more about deciding whether this specific mechanical package suits your requirements.

Honda 145 generations compared

The Honda 145 has one recorded generation: 1 generation, produced from 1972 to 1974. It was offered as a Coupe and contains one listed version, 1.4 MT. Because the catalogue records no additional generation or restyling, there is no newer or older Honda 145 configuration to weigh against it.

That also means there are no generational gains in power, displacement, economy, dimensions, or equipment to calculate. Any buyer choosing between Honda 145 examples is choosing the same catalogue specification rather than deciding which generation introduced a particular mechanical change.

Honda 145 engine and specs

The only listed version, 1.4 MT, uses a naturally aspirated Gasoline engine with a displacement of 1,433 cc. It has 4 cylinders and 2 valves per cylinder. Cylinder layout is not measured, while boost is recorded as No. The fuel system is a Carburetor, the compression ratio is 8.6, and bore and stroke are 72 × 88 mm.

The engine produces 80 hp at 5,500 rpm and 118 Nm at 3,500 rpm. Based on the listed output and displacement, specific power is approximately 55.8 hp per litre, while specific torque is approximately 82.3 Nm per litre. These calculated figures help describe how much output the sole engine delivers from its capacity; they do not represent a comparison with another Honda 145 version because none is listed.

For a buyer, the transmission and drive arrangement are fixed: every listed Honda 145 uses the 4-speed Manual gearbox and FWD. There is no Automatic, alternative gear count, or alternative drive system in the supplied catalogue data.

Honda 145 performance, mpg, and fuel economy

For the 1.4 MT, acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h is not measured, and top speed is not measured. City fuel consumption is not measured, highway fuel consumption is not measured, and combined fuel consumption is not measured. CO₂ output is also not measured, and the environmental class is not measured.

Consequently, the available figures cannot support a numerical comparison of acceleration, maximum speed, or mpg. Claims that the Honda 145 is faster or more economical than another version would be unsupported because there is no second version and the relevant performance and consumption measurements are absent.

The confirmed fuel-related figures are the Gasoline engine, 80 fuel label, and 45-litre tank. A driving range cannot be calculated because no fuel-consumption measurement is provided.

Honda 145 dimensions, weight, and ground clearance

The 1.4 MT has a kerb weight of 845 kg. Gross weight is not measured, ground clearance is 160 mm, and fuel-tank capacity is 45 litres. Wheel sizes are not measured.

With 80 hp and an 845 kg kerb weight, the calculated weight-to-power figure is approximately 10.6 kg per hp. Expressed in the opposite direction, the car has approximately 94.7 hp per tonne based on its listed kerb weight. Because 1.4 MT is the only version, neither calculation reveals a lighter or more powerful Honda 145 alternative; both simply quantify the balance of the available configuration.

The listed chassis details are an Independent, spring front suspension and Disc front brakes. Rear suspension and rear brake specifications are not measured.

Honda 145 problems and reliability data

Problems and reliability are not measured in the supplied data. There are no failure-rate, maintenance, durability, or repair records from which to rank the 1.4 MT. The catalogue figures describe its specification only and do not support claims about dependable components, common faults, or ownership costs.

Similarly, there is no price data. It is therefore not possible to calculate what extra money buys, compare purchase prices, or identify a value advantage between versions.

Which Honda 145 version should you buy?

The direct answer is 1.4 MT, because it is the only Honda 145 version in the data. Choosing it gets you the sole recorded combination: an 80 hp and 118 Nm, 1,433 cc Gasoline engine; 4 cylinders; No boost; a Carburetor; a 4-speed Manual gearbox; FWD; an 845 kg kerb weight; 160 mm of ground clearance; and a 45-litre fuel tank.

There is no higher-output engine to pay extra for, no Automatic alternative, no second body type, and no later generation to prefer. The 1.4 MT delivers about 55.8 hp per litre and carries about 10.6 kg for each horsepower, but its 0–100 km/h time, top speed, fuel consumption, and wheel sizes are not measured. Buyers who require those figures cannot resolve the uncertainty by selecting another Honda 145 specification—the catalogue lists no alternative.

In short, buy the 1.4 MT if the defining Honda 145 specification—Coupe body, 4-speed Manual transmission, FWD, and an 80 hp Gasoline engine—is the configuration you want. If your decision depends on choosing between engines, gearboxes, generations, measured mpg, or measured performance, this model’s supplied catalogue data offers no competing version on which to base that comparison.
