This Civic Si is powered by a 205-hp turbocharged 1.5-liter inline-four that sends its power to a smooth-shifting six-speed manual gearbox and then on to the front wheels. The engine makes its 192 lb-ft of torque. The Si is light enough that youll rarely want more powerit sprints to 60 mph in 6.3 secondseven though some of its competitors offer more horsepower. The Si is that rare example of a car that can drive like a little terror when you want it to but also cruise placidly when you dont. Youd be hard pressed to find another front-wheel-drive car that handles this well with a ride this compliant.
