In the USA the parts list shows a 1988 hatch back in the DX trim and STD trim, in 1989 the SI trim was added, but the STD was only a 4 speed from 1988 to 1991, I've driven a few of them and thought they were very nice and basic, seats didn't age well, but I still see more of them around town then I do of the newer body style of civic hatchback.
A 5 speed transmission would bolt in, but the 4 speed was pretty decent gearing.
I really wish they would have kept up that simple design, throttle body fuel injection, no frills, not much to go wrong and a ton of space for passengers and cargo.
