I'd guess 76-79. Pretty cool.
Just noticed the Ontario plate. Do they salt the roads in Canada?

Are you being sarcastic? lol. Roads here in Ottawa are heavily salted, I'm sure this car has had refurb work done to it. We get below 0c temps from Nov to April and through the winter we average around 220 cm of snow

I want to say 1978 or 79 the body lines is the late seventies early eighties plus the headlights a lot of auto manufacturers started to put square headlights on in 79 into the eighties and around that period is when the 4 door came out the round headlights should be a 78 but it is a Canadian model which sometimes different than a US model

That is a civic wagon. My brothers girlfriend had one in 76 which I actually got to drive once. But yeah, the headlights square could be a 79-81.

I'm pretty sure that's a 1982-ish Civic 5 door hatch. The wagon was longer with an additional side window in back.

I was thinking the same because the body style and taillights is 80ish but the round headlights are throwing me off maybe because it’s a Canadian car I remembered my older sister 1983 Mazda GLC had the same body style

This was a tough one. After a bunch of research, it has to be a 1981 5 door hatch as shown below.

Ah, I never knew they made a 5 Dr. hatch. I had an 83 2 Dr. Hatch I bought back in 88. It had 83,000 miles on it, 5 spd. no a.c., and I beat the crap out of it until 165,000 when the front subframe broke away from the chassis. It still ran fine. Damn reliable.
