If beauty is found in the details, Honda's whole
line of Civic subcompact cars has proven to be a
collection of masterpieces. The sportiest of the
Civics was the Coupe Si. It came equipped with a
127-horsepower version of the less-powerful 1.6-litre,
multi-valve engine standard in all Civic models.
Mated to a standard five-speed manual transmission,
the lightweight Si (1,117 kilos or 2,483 lbs) is
a quick, sporty package.
Prices, of course, have stayed strong
on the used market, in part because few people part
quickly with their Civics. There have also been
a few small issues with water leaks, troublesome
cupholders and the seatbelts, so inspect those areas
carefully. That said, if you find a used Civic-especially
an Si-you're looking at an exceptionally well-built,
reliable, completely driver-friendly runabout with
a history of low long-term ownership costs.
