MEXICO CITY: This model is called one of the ideal in class. It has been the most effective selling little car in North America for previous couple of years and, in line with all parameters, that trend will keep in future also. Honda Si, Type R or Acura RS-X last century’s Japanese developed answer to the presentation pony car put Honda on the hot-rod map. TorqueNews revisits the holdout; 2015 Honda Civic Si. 2015 Honda Si coupe takes us back to the memory of Honda’s glory days.
Search as you may, you won’t find many if any new or used Civic Si coupes or sedans sitting on your neighborhood Honda lot. As far as Honda goes, Civic Si is a limited production automobile.
We covered Honda’s extensive cosmetic refresh of Civic Si back in November, 2013. That was for the 2014 model. For 2015 you’ll discover that Civic Si remains unchanged with the exception of next generation “HondaLink,” greater Bluetooth personal connectivity and standard across the line backup Cam with directional lines.
Civic Si is about “not so entry level” street performance packaged in Honda reliability with just a touch of bad! Until the mystical beast Type R returns to North American shores, Si is the baddest out of the box race inspired coupe or sedan in Honda’s lineup. Claiming 205 horsepower and 175 ft-lb torque, this direct injected dual stage inducted i-VTEC 2.5 liter 4 cylinder delivers whiplash performance without one’s having to refinance the house.
For 2015 we find a close ratio “G” patterned, one finger pressure brushed stainless shifter,and a lower pedal pressure clutch delivered to the road via a limited slip differential and 17 inch alloy rims dressed in race inspired rubber. Braking is fade free and just a bit stickier than we like (13 miles showing on the odometer.) 2015 Civic Si features a refined Recaro inspired racing seat interior while providing relative driver and passenger comfort and safety.
