2000 Honda Civic SI-R Coupe Road Test

Revving our engines, we waited patiently for the stoplight to show green. Beside me, the owner of a BMW 325is, anticipating an easy defeat over me, the driver of a simple Honda Civic Coupe. Little does he know that this is not just any old Honda. Stirring under the unassuming hood lays an ultra-high revving 1.6-liter, four-cylinder powerhouse, pushing out 160hp via Honda's legendary VTEC valve technology. This is no less than the Civic Si-R!
