Honda Civic Si Sedan– Review: This is the best Civic Si that Honda has ever built. It's quick, it handles beautifully, it's exciting to drive, and at times it'll have its pilot giggling like a five-year-old in a roomful of puppies. Its 197 horsepower engine revs to 8000 rpm, with an accompanying punk-rock soundtrack that'll have you muting the stereo. The shifter is perfect, the driving position beyond reproach, and the four-door body a bonus to anybody who has to tote more than one passenger. Compared to previous versions of the Si, it's the best. But compare it to its current competition and its lack of low-rev grunt becomes an Achilles' heel that simply can't be overlooked by any but the most ardent Honda faithful.
