I had a 2018 Civic Si 4dr sedan. Great blend of performance - 205hp, 2800lb (like an early Boxster). 6spd manual. sport (adj) suspension, LSD, sport seats. A much more year round friendly car than the bigger brother Type R. Even averaged 40mpg when commuting. It comes with 18" wheels.. and somehow I went through 2 tires (puncture/flat) in 18 mo. Does NOT come with a spare, but you can retrofit one. Didn't like that. And yes, the Si coupe has been phased out.

The 19-20" wheels on the Type R are fragile and tire/rim damage could be in your future.

To me, I'd rather have a Golf Type R or GTi than the Honda's. They are much more "mature" in ride and comfort.
