BTW, so people can understand the Si's slower 30-50 & 50-70, the Si was left in 5th gear for those tests. Automatic cars always do better because they shift to lower gears automatically. I really wish car mags would revise this and put the test car into a lower gear that would accommodate the speed range without shifting, they should use 2nd gear for 30-50 and 3rd gear for 50-70. These metrics always look bad for MT cars when mags test them this way.Results from Car & Driver 2016 Civic 1.5T
