Chicago: 2007 Honda Civic Si Sedan
It was 1986, you were 22 years old, and life was about busting tail to work off college loans, with what little time you had left over devoted to having fun. That last part's the reason you forked over your hard-earned, junior mailroom executive wages for Honda's first Civic Si. You and that high-revving ride lived fast, but while the Si remained largely ageless, you simply aged. What once offered endless good times now made you cringe at the thought of reaching back to the car seats, and trying to stuff a growing family of three, and then four, into this two-door was a lesson difficulty. If only that little rocket could morph into a sedan

Fast forward to 2007, and that's just what the Honda Civic Si has done. Due to arrive in the fall of 2006, the 2007 Si Sedan (yeah, that'll take some getting used to) promises the kind of grins that can only be had near 8,000 rpm, and until now, only in coupe form. In addition to those oh-so-useful rear doors, the Civic Si Sedan draws its power from the same 2.0-liter, dual overhead cam, 16-valve, i-VTEC four-cylinder engine cranking out 197 horsepower at 7,800 rpm and 139 lb.-ft. of torque at 6,100 rpm. Power goes to the front wheels thanks to a six-speed manual transmission, and a limited slip differential is standard. EPA ratings for the Si coupe are 22 mpg city and 31 mpg highway, and one could expect the new sedan to mirror those figures. Pricing, which hasn't been released, should also be similar to that for the coupe, which starts at about $20,000.

Making its debut at the 2006 Chicago Auto Show, the Civic Si Sedan graced the stage in concept form, and as such, included goodies like some sweet black 18-inch alloy wheels rolling on 225/40 performance tires, large cross-drilled disc brakes with Brembo calipers, and a body-color rear spoiler that's a few inches shy of garish.

We've spent a lot of time in the 2006 Honda Civic Si coupe, and have had a blast doing so. Chances are we'll feel the same about the sedan, especially considering our over-30 editors are already drooling.

IMO...sport 4-doors now are largely turbo'd...if honda sticks with the same 195hp engine out of the coupe, i think it'd be a mistake...true it has a six-speed tranny, but that isn't much when compared to the WRX, SRT-4, Mazdaspeed 4-doors... i guess it's main competition is the Lancer, 4-door Cobalt and the like

i think thats one hot 4 dr!! if i was intrested in that car.. id be glad it didnt come boosted from the factory.. these boosted cars from factory barely satisfy any1's craving for boost and end up doing big costly upgrades neways. i would piece together my own setup and save a few bucks! how many of u ppl are fond of the new si's? if i wasnt so dopic id start a pole of 4gens up to current and see what gen ppl prefer most..sum1 wanna do that?

I kinda agree with Adrian on the boosting, but then i agree with Full Blown STD on not boosting. But if Honda really wanted to get back into the big competition, they would need to boost or bring those revs up more, do what Honda is good at doing, coming out with motors that are capable of insane RPMS. It will take a little getting used to, a Si Sedan, what a bunch of 4th gen guys wished they would have done a long time ago instead of having to make their own.

As for the new Civic's in general, I'm not a huge fan of the body, but from what I have read on the motor, they actually gave us a good motor again, instead of these economical motors.
