2019 Honda Civic SI

The 2019 Civic is Honda's compact car, offered as a sedan, coupe, or hatchback to suit different tastes. It squares off against the Toyota Corolla, Mazda3, and Volkswagen Golf, with a sportier feel than most. The Civic handles with a crispness that makes daily drives enjoyable, and the available manual gearbox adds engagement. Inside, the cabin feels well-built for the class, with a modern dashboard and generous rear legroom for a compact. A limited-slip differential and sport-tuned suspension set the Si apart from the standard Civic, giving it sharper handling without a huge price jump. The 1.5L I4 makes 205 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque, and it's paired exclusively with the six-speed manual for a connected, engaging driving experience. The Si's helical limited-slip front differential helps put power down through corners without the torque steer that plagues lesser front-drive cars.
