A Honda with a little bit of Torque!

I've gotten to drive several different civics at work for short bursts, and can say that I agree wholeheartedly with the above statement that the newer SI has the smoothest manual trans out there. From the time they put the shifter up at the bottom of the dash (which I absolutely loved, when I tried it, though at first I didn't get it) they have had near perfect manual gearboxes.

The Accord coupe still has the V-6 available.

For those interested, some Vtec review vids:

I still dream of a EP3 Type R, which of course never came. I long for a stock EF too. I had my chance last year, but I just had to have an XJ.

Waiting for honda to go all-out cab-forward, so the entire engine is crammed under the windshield, as to just a portion of it in the current model...

The new si is going after the scion sales, hence the engine size increase, the girlie/hipster ads etc... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUhkN_VLGFg
