Honda has stuck to its standard formula of control placement here, which is always a good thing. Window switches on the door; headlight switch on the left column stalk; windshield wiper controls on the right column stalk. The Civic Si comes standard with a stability assist program, which features a big, conveniently placed off button to the left of the steering wheel. Everything works with precision. We should note that the center-out windshield wiper pattern worked very well at clearing the big glass of rain during a storm, and we wonder why this pattern isn't the norm, as opposed to the right-to-left style of most cars.
