Orthopedic Shoe: 1996 Honda Orthia GX

The Honda Orthia is basically a JDM compact wagon built from Civic/Integra-era Honda bones, sold in Japan from the mid-1990s into the early 2000s. It’s name might sound like an orthopedic shoe brand, but the blue paint, grey interior, roof rails, and wagon body make it peak “practical Japanese domestic market oddball” without being cartoonish. It looks like any number of cheap Japanese econoboxes we’ve seen, but Cars & Coffee people will swoon over the oddball badge and right-hand-drive setup. Find this 1996 Honda Orthia GX offered for $10,500 in Fontana, CA via facegx orthiamarket.

Seller’s description
Hello I am selling or trading my stock 1996 Honda Orthia. It has 151,000km (about 93,000 miles) and original b18b1 and trans from japan. I don’t drive it much anymore and honestly don’t need all that space. I am really sad to see it go but I need to let it go. I have done most of maintenance so it’s ready to go. I am mostly interested in trading anything honda but I am mostly looking for Honda Beats, del sol, ek or eg civics, and integras.
