2006 Honda Civic Si Review
The good: The 2006 Honda Civic Si packs serious drivetrain technology and excellent front-drive handling into a less-than-$20,000 package. A superior navigation system and satellite radio are also available.
The bad: The electronic throttle can be tough to modulate. Bluetooth integration is not available in the 2006 Honda Civic Si.
The bottom line: The 2006 Honda Civic Si is a real performance bargain that also offers good mileage and emissions ratings. The quality of the electronics is equivalent to that found in much pricier vehicles. Simple standard features fit the car's mission well, signaling the Si's return to form.
