2009 Honda Civic Si

The eighth-generation Civic Si is one of the great enthusiast front-drivers and this 2009 example is finished in Silver over a Black cloth interior with a factory moonroof rear spoiler fog lights and alloy wheels. At its heart is Honda's 2.0L i-VTEC four-cylinder making 197 horsepower sent to the front wheels through a close-ratio 6-speed manual gearbox and a helical limited-slip differential — the combination that made the Si a favorite of drivers who want to shift for themselves.

EPA-rated up to 29 MPG highway. Inside the Si's bolstered sport seats set the tone backed by a premium sound system with CD/MP3 air conditioning cruise control keyless entry an anti-theft system power windows and locks and a tilt and telescoping steering wheel.

Safety is covered with four-wheel ABS traction and stability control and dual front side and front-and-rear head curtain airbags. A factory 6-speed Si gets harder to find every year — come see this one at Pacific Autohaus in Grover Beach!
