Civic Sport Vs Si Forum. Spoiler alert (no pun intended): A corvette is a sports car, a 350z is a sports car, a miata is a sports car.
I am still using oem si pads on the new setup for comparison. Come join the discussion about performance, classifieds, modifications, troubleshooting, maintenance, and more!. At just $25,000, the 2020 civic si looks to be a pretty sweet performance bargain.
All four start under $30,000 and offer more than 200 horsepower.
The si has turbo power, but less, and is generally less extreme from wheels and tires up. It competes with the jetta gli, which is a little more muscular than the civic si but can’t match the honda‘s sharp handling and isn’t as efficient. It is agile and compact for driving in the city. The sophisticated dampers aren't so stiff that they make highway commutes a chore, but they keep the civic properly.
