- 2018 Civic SI sedan
I actually sold my e46 BMW to buy the SI. The e46 was a fantastic car, but I wanted something brand new and the SI ticked all the boxes (except I still miss RWD).
I cross-shopped the Focus ST and the VW GTI. The Focus was just a Focus with some goodies, it was fun but still felt like a cheap Ford. I actually was really close to buying a GTI, but to get the same options as the SI - namely the LSD and sunroof - it was getting into the $30k territory.
The SI wasn't as fast in a straight line but it handled so much better than the other options, with better standard equipment and the best seats. I haven't had it on the track yet, but I'm betting it will set better times than my BMW did.
