it would help if you specified what year Si you are referring to.
6th gen:
the Si has a DOHC VTEC engine, 160 hp, compared to the Ex SOHC VTEC, 127 hp.
5th Gen:
basically the same as the ex, but the Si only came in hatchback.

IMO, they look like the Ford Focus or a miniature Toyota Matrix. I think they're kinda ugly. I still wouldn't mind test driving one so I can see what they are all about.

I thought the new Si had a 2.0L enginge... it has the same HP, but more torque. This means that the peak HP is reached at lower RPM's. Correct me if I'm mistaken. :D

Yeah, you guys are probably right that it looks ugly.... at first! But I bet none of you have seen one up close and personal... just get behind the wheel of one, and you'll forget all first impressions. (take a test drive, and let me know how it feels)
Just don't rule it out because it looks funny in the magazines!

The new SI is sweet!! I got to ride as a passenger in one and that dash shifter is the shit. It is also a pretty nice car and doesent look THAT funny.

Not to mention full disc brakes, stiffer suspension, different interior pieces...
And the new SI is a hatch while the other Civics are either coupes or sedans :rolleyes:
