great support. the sides basically hold you - which is important because the car can generate serious g-forces going around corners see full Honda Civic review |

Frankly, the best seats I have sat in outside of a couple BMW Ms. Supportive, well bolstered with good lateral support. Also good support for the lower back for long drives. see full Honda Civic review |

I have driven for as long as 12 hours in one sitting behind the wheel (only getting out for gas) and it felt fine. It is a firmer seat then some luxury cars, but for the economy level cars, it is a great seat. see full Honda Civic review |

For a vehicle with a small engine, the tranmission keeps up and is not constantly searching for the right gear. see full Honda Civic review |

The SI is a rocket...the I-Vtec engine is awesome...where else can you turn 8200 rpm without blowing up the motor? see full Honda Civic review |
2007 | 2dr Coupe 197-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
the vtec engine is an absolute kick. very quick acceleration, good economy, two cams switch for economy and performance. it is one of the most spirited cars I have driven see full Honda Civic review |
2007 | 4dr Sedan 197-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
For an economy car, the Si is fast. 0-60 in about 6.5 seconds is plenty to get you in to trouble before you realize it. When you hit 5800RPM (VTEC), it feels like 1000lbs were just sheared off of the car. When spooled up, the engine makes you :D see full Honda Civic review |

Smooth, almost buttery shifting with the manual transmission. Typical of honda gearboxes. Strong first and second gears. see full Honda Civic review |

2007 | 4dr Sedan 110-horsepower 1.3L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
Great fuel economy, but this car is slow! A manual transmission option would be a huge improvement over the CVT. Maintaining highway speed going up hills means pushing the revs up to 4-5k and draining the IMA battery. see full Honda Civic review |
2007 | 4dr Sedan 197-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
The Si has the weakest engine of all the performance compacts it competes with. It has little low end torque. Under 5800RPM, it is a slightly faster than average, loud economy car. see full Honda Civic review |
2007 | 4dr Sedan 197-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
Like any 4-cylinder performance Honda, you have to really push the gears to their extreme limits for peak acceleration. Driving around town, the car feels like any other Civic model. I always felt the engine could use more low-end torque. see full Honda Civic review |

One can never be too thin, too rich or have enough horsepower. Limited torque and a high rpm vtec window means the engine needs to be kept at a boil if you want this thing to move. Think 600cc motorcycle. see full Honda Civic review |
