Which is lucky because that's one thing that is a better fit for the "power hungry" U.S. My Super Carry is LHD and uses a 656? or 658 motor, but truthfully, I think the 53 bhp is overrated by Suzuki because it's considerably weaker than my 800cc Hyundai, which also has 53 bhp supposedly.
I remember when the Civic was available with a 1.3 liter motor in the US and I bought one. Turns out almost every Civic that was sold of that generation was sold with a 1.5 liter, and if you look at the market now, they're up to 2 and 2.4 liter engines! Power, that's what people want, and fuel economy, and low emissions, etc.
