2005 Honda Civic VP with Side Airbags

What is the 2005 Honda Civic VP with Side Airbags? The VP stands for "Value Package", a basic trim offering with lower MSRP for the coupe version of this popular Japanese car. The 2005 Civic is also the last model year before a significant redesign adding power and body style to the car.

The 2005 Civic Value Package ships with a 115 horsepower 1.7-liter, SOHC 4-cylinder engine. Higher trim packages come with VTEC block that offers 127 HP. The 2005 Civic VP gets an estimated 32 miles per gallon in city driving and 38 MPG on the highway with the standard manual transmission.

Although the VP is the basic Civic coupe trim, it comes with air conditioning (not standard on some Civic sedans), and a center console and armrest, as well as an Immobilizer Theft-Deterrent System. The 2005 Civic VP also has a simple AM/FM 4-speaker audio system, which is also left out of some Civic models, particularly in the base model DX trim for the sedan in some model years.

Safety is where the 2005 Honda Civic VP with side airbags delivers extra. The standard 2005 Civic has seat belts, dual stage front airbags, and LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) restraints. Newer features like Electronic Brake-force Distribution and a Tire Pressure Monitoring System are not available in the 2005. Anti-lock brakes only come with higher trim options. But, with an optional Front Side Airbag configuration with a Passenger-Side Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS), the Civic VP buyer gets a high tech setup which will optimize how the airbags are used to help, not to harm, passengers. With all of the controversy about airbag deployment, it's worth looking into how the extra airbag system can help keep your family safe on the road. Consider the VP with Side Airbag package for your 2005 Honda Civic coupe.
