2009 Honda Civic Si

Pros: Good Basic Standard Features. Interior has good quality materials with lots of nice features generally found on luxury models. Peppy performance and crisp handling.

Cons: Engine could use more overall torque (especially from a dead stop) and the dramatic "RPM float" takes some getting used to, making fast shifting a little tricky.

Summary: I like to take care of my cars and own them for a long time. I originally bought a 1st generation Civic Si back in 1987 and kept it running for over 20 years (a testament to the wonderful reliability of Honda, as long as you take care of the car). I finally retired my old workhorse Civic Si and bought my new 2009 Civic Si coupe just last month. This is my daily commuter vehicle and I must say my drives to and from work have been VERY enjoyable. This car is an absolute JOY to drive and I love the handling and overall performance of this Si Coupe. And being a Civic, I'm sure I can count on many many reliable years of service out of this car. I plan on keeping this Si for as long as I can (hopefully as long as I had my last Civic Si). This is a wonderful little car that gives me great reliability, low maintenance costs AND fun to drive as well! Highly recommended.
