What Does the 2010 Civic Si Offer?

Almost as long as the Honda Civic has dominated the roadways, there's been a Si version that has turned heads. The Si model has traditionally been sportier, more powerful, faster and has provided quite a bit of adrenaline-based enjoyment for drivers and enthusiasts. While the Si badge might have been a little tarnished by some of Honda's later offerings, the manufacturer went back to the drawing board several years ago and the results are still astounding. The 2010 Civic Si offers quite a bit for drivers to get excited about, as well. While Si might not have had a facelift in a year or two, there's really no need for one, as Honda's advanced design still grabs the eyes and won't let go. What else will you find with the Si, though? Let's take a look under the hood and kick the tires, so to speak.

First, you'll find that the 2010 Civic Si offers quite a bit of performance and power. When you pop that hood, you'll find an i-VTEC badge staring back at you. This is attached to the top of a 2.0-liter engine that puts out a stunning 197-hp. This is particularly impressive when you realize that the S2000, Honda's beautiful roadster, only offers 237 hp. You will also find that the Civic Si features a 6-speed transmission with the gears so close that shifting is effortless. You barely even have to move the shift lever and the Si zips to life. One of the most exciting things about the Si is the helical limited-slip differential. This enhances steering response to an enormous extent and is usually found on racecars and high-end performance models.

Within the Si, you'll find quite a bit more to be excited about. For example, you will enjoy a USB audio interface. That means you can plug up that iPod or other MP3 player directly to the car's enhanced stereo and enjoy all your tunes. And about that enhanced stereo - you'll find that it now pounds out 350 watts of power and features 7 speakers spaced around the cabin. Of course, the Honda dvd navigation system (not standard) adds usability, convenience and comfort (for the mind, at least). The navigation system also features integrated Bluetooth, so you'll enjoy hands-free use of your cell phone through the audio interface.

Other unique additions that you'll find on the 2010 Civic Si include the sporty aluminum wheels. You'll find that these are actually 17-inch wheels, rather than the puny 15 or 16-inch wheels most cars come with today. The rear wing spoiler is another benefit, which actually features aerodynamic design to keep the rear end firmly on the road during high-speed runs.

Obviously, the new Honda Civic Si has quite a few benefits that will appeal to anyone who enjoys adrenaline (or just wants a ride that looks smoking hot!). However, you'll also find that this little car can even save you some money on gas - it's rated at 29 mpg on the highway and 21 in the city.
