- 2018 Honda Civic Si Coupe (sold)
Well, I may be the only one, but I’ll admit I chose the Si coupe over the Type R solely based off cosmetics (also our Cdn Sis come with full LED headlights). I prefer the 2 doors and it’s sleeker lower look. Really don’t need or want the Rs seductive performance bump living in congested Toronto. There really are few places, aside from highways to open it up, and the same with my Si, very hard to find its limits living here. Too many stop lights with grid-like roads and generally junk for cruising. But if the R came in coupe form, then it would be in my garage right now instead of the Si. I’m a sucker for coupes.I always overlook an Si for a normal Civic, do not get me wrong - the subtle things are the reason I would love an Si and am still considering!
Also, I think it looks anything but a normal civic. I’ve been stopped many times by acquaintances and complete strangers while behind the wheel (ha many times at McDonald’s lots) Some admirers even had to ask what car it was. They were totally oblivious it was a “civic”. I’d say I get almost the same public reactions to my Si as do Type R owners, based on the comments R owners have made in these forums. Both the R and Si sorta have that exotic look
