Better brakes and tires made for a fun little weekend racer.
The dreadful rev hang between shifts dampened our enthusiasm for the Si's awesomely crisp shifter. Rev hang suits the needs of EPA test cycles, helping prevent excessive fuel burn between shifts, but when navigating city traffic and parking lots, our staff unanimously felt that it made driving smoothly much more difficult.
Remember that just a generation ago, when the Civic Si had adaptive dampers that helped balance between smooth and sporty, as well as heated seats for us winter wonderland folks? Now that the Si has a $35,000 sibling in the form of the Acura Integra A-Spec, those days are over. Those goodies are reserved for the Integra. Even the less expensive Civic EX has available heated seats whereas the Si unjustly doesn't.
Every Civic Si has an identical black interior with the same equipment. After 40,000 miles, the cloth upholstery showed some wear and tear around high-traffic areas such as the center armrest and seat bottoms. We considered sending a sample of the armrest out for analysis to determine whether it had faded to white from suntan lotion or because it was a mantle for our collective staff's dead skin cells. We quickly decided we didn't want to know.
We tested the Civic Si at both ends of its stay. After 40,000 miles, the Civic Si showed a decline in performance. Its 6.6-second launch to 60 mph diminished to a 7.1-second run. The Si also was nearly a full second slower to 100 mph, which took 17 seconds to complete during its final test before we waved goodbye. Its end-of-test panic stops were also a wee bit longer, and lateral grip declined a smidge.
