Honda Inspire Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1989–1992) — First Generation
When choosing a first-generation Honda Inspire sedan, look beyond the version name. Your driving routine can help you decide which transmission suits you, while maintenance history matters when assessing an older car.
Honda Inspire powertrain options include the gasoline 2.5 AT and 2.5 MT, both with front-wheel drive. These illustrate the choice between an automatic that handles gear changes for you and a manual that gives you direct control over gear selection but requires more effort in stop-start traffic.
