Honda is a well-known brand in the country and has been in the auto manufacturing industry for over 60 years. The Civic, currently in its 11th generation, is the centerpiece of its array of practical vehicles. It will most likely be on the list of anyone searching for a no-nonsense runabout. Honda Civic Si is regarded as the most mature Civic to date and competes with the equally venerable Accord.

Manual transmission
The Honda Civic Si comes with a six-speed manual transmission, so nothing has been altered in this department. However, a lighter flywheel and automated rev-matching have improved the three-pedal sensation.

Great performance
The car gets a 1.5L turbocharged four-cylinder engine, and the 200 horsepower and 192 pound-feet of torque go to the front wheels. The energetic little engine works admirably, reaching 60 mph in around 6.8 seconds. It may not be as loud as some of its rivals, but it provides quite a thrill when started.

Superb handling
While performance is an influential factor when choosing a car, handling is equally crucial. The Civic Si is no slouch. First off, Honda has added a limited-slip differential to the 11th generation. Combining that with the six-speed transmission and a curb weight under 3,000 pounds gives you excellent driving dynamics.

Decent fuel efficiency
Despite its reputation as a sporty car, the Honda Civic Si manages to get 31 mpg overall, with individual EPA ratings of 27 mpg in the city and 37 mpg on the interstate. Given that the engine is a 200-horsepower turbo-four, the numbers are not all that horrible; in fact, they are impressive when compared to other sports compacts in the class. Still, it produces far less power than its rivals.

Subtle design
It was not just hyperbole when we said that the 11th-generation Honda Civic Si was the most mature model yet. It has the customary splash of sportiness with contrast accents all over the bodywork. The deck-lid spoiler, the blacked-out window surrounds, and the more angular bumper designs stand out the most. Part-LED tail lights with incandescent turn signals are included, as are fully LED headlights with DRLs. The 18-inch wheels have a very appealing split-five-spoke design.

Handy infotainment system
The car has many helpful amenities, although not the finest in its class. In this day and age, it is frustrating to choose a partially digital instrument display—a seven-inch color instrument panel with a physical speedometer to the right. However, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are the redeeming grace. The single-zone climate control and the 12-speaker Bose premium audio are controlled by tactile knobs that Honda has matched with a nine-inch HD color touchscreen that gives sharp visuals and excellent response.

Pricing
The price of the Honda Civic Si is around $27,300, plus a $1,015 destination charge. There are not many options, but you might want to think about the $200 summer tires, which bring the total to $27,500 plus taxes and destination.

The Honda Civic Si should retain its worth remarkably well if kept in immaculate condition and unaltered. It might be worth the search in today’s world of hybrid and electric vehicles because options like these are becoming an increasingly rare breed. The Civic’s demand is high, and it will continue to be so for the Si because it is a well-engineered piece of machinery and a motoring legend.
