Si...................not as potent as the old CRX name, it's spritual ancestor.

The first mod you do on these Si's is remove the "Civic" emblem from the back hatch...!
Yes, it is different in many respects from the coupe and 4 door Civics, but the Si is still an economy car. Though I thoroughly enjoy this little hatch (while keeping in mind it's not a Porsche or BMW or ...). Plenty of torque for in town use and it's fun to toss around on back roads. Brakes are the weak point when you are really working the car hard on back roads, but for 95% of the normal driving you do on a daily driver, they are plenty (but it makes you appreciate Porsche brakes all the more).
The dash mounted shifter should be mandatory on all manual drive cars. Man, it's handy when you are working hard...
