2012 Honda Civic SI

[PICK3]

if you order the sporty $22,995 Civic Si, which not only gets wider rubber, but also a stiffer suspension and a supremely responsive 2.4-liter four-cylinder with 201 hp. It’s basically the same motor you’ll find in an Acura TSX

yawn..another civic
Nice cars but a thread about it? wtf
Found this interesting

This all sounds pretty good. Anything wrong with it?

Relatively speaking, yes. Compared to some of the more obviously new compacts on the market, like the Ford Focus and Chevy Cruze, the Civic doesn’t feel very plush inside. Cheap vinyl sunvisors don’t help the situation, nor does the abundance of seams in the hard plastic of the dashboard. Even the less-than-cutting edge navigation system looks like it was installed by the audio shop down the corner. There’s also a fair bit of wind and road noise, something that becomes particularly irritating when you have a passenger on board and are trying to have a conversation. If they’re tall, you may be better off because you won’t have to listen to them complaining about the legroom. At 6-feet 1-inch tall I could definitely have used some more.

So, what’s the bottom line?

According to Honda, if you don’t count fleet sales, the Civic is the best selling compact car in the U.S. and on any given month it is often number one, period. This 9th generation edition is so competent at the important things, and carries with it such an air of superiority that the new guys need to earn, that it likely won’t lose many loyal customers. But the competition in this segment is hot and heavy these days. In addition to the Focus and Cruze, there is a new Hyundai Elantra and Volkswagen Jetta on the prowl – all dramatic departures from the cars that they replace, peacocking in showroom windows for people looking for the next big thing.

Some more plumage on the Civic couldn’t hurt it, but it aims to please Americans so much that it's not only built here, but Honda isn't even going to sell it Japan anymore. Seems this little guy has gotten to large for the folks back home, even if it hasn't changed much.
