Civic Si Sedan – Wardlaw Opinion:
I would buy this car. The driving position is perfect, the sport seats are comfortable, the control layout is flawless, and the shifter is a model of precision. Materials and construction ooze quality. Ride and handling are terrific, the clutch is easy to modulate, and the engine sounds great -- especially when revved into VTEC territory. Wish I could move the parking brake lever somewhere else because it jabs me in the knee, and a spoiler-delete option would be nice. Also, it feels a little gutless when passing. But these minor quibbles don't detract from greatness. Got kids on the way but love driving? Don't despair: the Honda Civic Si Sedan is here to save your soul. – Christian Wardlaw
