The Honda Civic Si received only one cosmetic change for 2010: The engine cover has gone from silver to black. Everything else has remained pretty much the same since the 2006 model year, including the 197-horsepower engine, six-speed transmission and limited-slip differential.
As with past versions, the Civic Si gets sportier seats, a stiffer suspension and red gauge illumination. The car also sports a more serious wheel-and-tire package, as 17-inch alloys are standard.
One more thing to dig: a redline of 8000 rpm.
Here's a secret: Lately I have been thinking about buying a new MINI. My wife's Civic Si is approaching 11 years old, and while it's been totally bullet-proof something a bit newer for the "family" car would be nice. I think she's also eager for a change in scenery.
Then I spent part of last week with the Civic Si. Well, we have a new front runner. It's fast, it's smooth, it's has just enough bark. The controls are easy to use and make sense. I don't mind the weird dash layout. The trunk is generous. I love the seats. Our Hondas have also been just so reliable that I'd be an idiot to jump ship.
So, are we ordering one? We'll see. (Personally, though, I'd go with the sedan.)
