2006 Honda Civic SI Is a Step UpThe 2006 Honda Civic SI is finally taking a step in the right direction. The styling is a little more aggressive, but maintains the econobox image for the older crowd. The new 2006 Civic SI isn't the same econobox as past generations though.
| Do you remember when the Acura Integra Type-R was a "big" deal for cranking out 180 horses?! Well, the 2006 Honda Civic SI isn't intimidated by the "Hype"-R any longer. For 2006, the Civic SI gets a very respectable 197 horsepower @ 7,800 RPM. While still not even close to being one of the faster cars on the road - the affordable price and strong aftermarket following will surely drive sales of the new 2006 Civic SI through the roof.
2006 Honda Civic SI Picture
For those of you who are Civic Hatchback fans - sorry. The 2006 Civic SI isn't available in hatchback form, but here are some other things that might still inspire you to drive one.
The 06 Civic SI has a 6 speed manual transmission....long overdue. If that doesn't impress you, perhaps the Limited Slip Differential that is also included will. Still not impressed? Honda topped it all off with a short-shift clutch setup - reducing the throw distance of the shifter, and firming up the clutch pedal pressure for a more aggressive feel. Overall, the 2007 Civic SI rubs me in all the right places... now to see how much power the new drive-line can take by throwing a turbo and gobs of power at it - it will be done. |
