MidCow, all Civics (and most Hondas) have VTEC engines. But your point is still taken. The Si more likely to be driven in the high rpm range than other Hondas, which requires more control over gears, which requires a manual. The 160 hp base RSX, the same engine in the outgoing Si, has an optional auto. More than anything, I'm sure it's a style choice to not go with an auto on Si.
 
3 on the column? I used to drive my dad's '67 Ford Econoline van w/ 3 on the column. It had power nothing - brakes, clutch, steering, nothing. Air conditioning came through triangular-pivoting windows. He had to give it up about 5 years ago. The carburetor kept failing, even with the lead fuel additive, the unleaded just chewed it up. They junkyard guys were very happy the day he dropped it off.

BLASPHEMER! HERETIC! just kidding. but if you are stuck in traffic that much, you'd be better off with a hybrid. sorry.
...and, i think they did have a four-door si back in the 80's.

I have recently heard that Acura CSX Type-S would debut on November 6th, in Canada, sharing the same engine as the Honda Civic Si Sedan. Unfortunately, most likely there won't be the Si Sedan in Canada

Do not purchase the Sedan Si yet. A buddy of mine that works over in the engineering department at Honda of Japan. That they are most likely going to add a turbo option to the Si to make up ground against the mazdaspeed 3,GTI, and ever-increasing weight. This is what he told me. Do not be surprised by the next New York Auto Show you will see Honda unveil it.

Test Drove Honda Civic Si Sedan by nowakj66

My dealer got a Galaxy Gray, summer tires non-Navi Si Sedan in and I drove it tonight. It was rainy and cold so non-ideal, particularly with the summer tires.
 
Still I could appreciate the smooth shifter, the VTEC sound track once the car warmed up. I was impressed with the functional interior which could work with 2 car seats no problem.
 
This car is truly a winner and one heck of a value. It's hard to justify anything else when this is out there as cheap as it is. I'm sure some are going to bite on the MazdaSpeed 3 but I think the Honda will hold up better for me.
 
My preference is for the Fiji Blue or the Rally red so I am safe till they get those colors in!
 
Can't decide on the NAVI though. I have it in the Odyssey we own but I can't see using it too much in a stick shift car. Apparently the demand at my dealer is for the NAVI version of the car.
 
I do think for Ohio driving, the summer tires are not the way to go.
 
A test drive in better conditions is definitely in order.
 
Question - are the WHEELS any different on the summer tire versus non-summer tire Si Sedan? My salesman seemed to think they were.
