2015 Honda Civic Si review notes: Little charmer - Autoweek
ASSOCIATE EDITOR GRAHAM KOZAK: A few days before I got the keys to this Si, I stumbled across a piece at Speedhunters about a guy who restored/resto-modded a sixth-gen Civic(. Since then, the Civic has traded its fancy front suspension for McPherson struts, gained size and weight and lost some of the magic that somehow made it a hit with both everyday transportation pod-purchasers and rabid, Honda-worshipping fanboys. Even after the current, ninth-gen Civic was carefully refined into a vehicle that met the average driver’s needs in as inoffensive a manner as possible, it still sort of feels like a decent car built to a price point rather than a really good car... The Civic Si doesn’t remedy all of these ills (which, I’ll note, aren’t really reflected in sales figures, anyway) but the manual-only model does seem to indicate that someone at Honda gives a damn. It’s the Civic I’d buy, if I had to buy a Civic. Heck, it’s probably the Honda I’d buy if I had to buy a (four-wheeled) Honda tomorrow. Source: autoweek.com
