Honda Civic has been made since 1972. I doubt a single spare part from the first ones would fit a new Civic.
But the Japanese introduced a new concept of using parts back in the 70's. Where parts are used across models and revisions to a much greater extend than Western manufacturers did

IIRC it was specifically Civics made after a certain year. I wanna say 1994? Subaru is super big on the concept, too, though. It's actually where they got their name ("Subaru" apparently means "unity" in Japanese).
