New Honda Civic Si

We're the first to admit the Civic Si will be a wallflower's worst nightmare, because this is one car that differs from the competition. So if you're comfortable standing out from the crowd, congratulations, you've found your motoring match.

Grade Logic Control is a unique system that holds and extends the range of gears when going up or downhill, enhancing driving efficiency and eliminating 'gear hunting' to maximise performance on gradients. This means that where other automatic cars struggle, Civic Si's 5-speed automatic transmission smoothly tackles inclines and declines with ease.

Beautifully finished, perforated black leather seats envelop and embrace you, and have been created to better fit the body so passengers sit in rather than on them.

The dash is based on Honda's Dual Link Concept, which organises driver information in a rational way. The primary point of focus is a digital speedometer at the top of the dash, flanked by a rev indicator and an Eco indicator. The lower level houses a tachometer, fuel & temperature gauge, and a multi information display which incorporates a comprehensive trip computer.

The 1.8 litre i-VTEC engine features intelligent valve timing, giving you the performance of a powerful 2.0 litre with the fuel efficiency of a 1.6 litre. Generating 103kW of power, it uses just 6.9 litres of fuel per 100km*.

*The fuel consumption figure is based on ADR81/02 combined test results for Civic Si manual transmission.
