If anyone gets that headline, I'll mail them my AP Stylebook as a prize*. The Honda Civic Si has never quite worked out in my mind. I was part of a comparison test that had this screetcher up against the VW GTI, a car that appeals more to my tastes.
But after spending several days in the Si, not only was my hair feeling fuller and thicker, my appreciation for this little contraption blossomed as well...
The most impressive part of this car is that it really settles in to behave like a normal, domesticated Civic when you want it to. But when you feel like shredding a tuner at an on-ramp or two...well, you could do that if that's the kind of thing you like.
One quibble: The way this dingbat is designed you'd have to pretty much destroy the dash to get an aftermarket stereo in. And I can't find the freakin' AUX port. Nuts to that, Si.
(*Don't bother writing in as I have no intention of fulfilling this promise. After all, it's basically: "adviser" not "advisor" and a bunch of rules on datelines that I don't want to memorize.)
