My first new car was a 1984 Honda Civic LX Hatchback.

That was the first year  for this body style.

So, basically the same car as these pictures except not the "Si"

Mine was a dark metallic red with a matching red interior.

Mine had black bumpers.  The Si's painted bumpers are much nicer looking, as well as the alloy wheels.

The other noticeable difference from the rear was the panel that says CIVIC in it was black plastic on mine whereas on the Si, they used a red reflector type of plastic to better match the tail lamps.

This generation civic was a pretty small car.

Probably smaller than nearly everything sold today (except for maybe the Chevy Spark).  I think it was about the same size as the first of the "new" Minis that came out about 20 years ago.

Very light weight (less than 2,000 lbs), nimble/easy to drive and easy to park.   But, could still fold down the rear seat and be able to carry a lot of cargo.
