Honda Canada Announces Civic SiR 2002 Pricing

By ,

- The all-new, European built 2002 Honda Civic SiR three-door will be sold in Canada with the manufacturer's suggested retail price of $25,500. The SiR is equipped with a host of unique features and is set to return as the performance leader of the Civic brand.

The SiR is powered by a high-output 2.0-litre engine utilizing Honda's next generation i-VTEC engine. Combining the patented and race-bred Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control (VTEC) technology with Variable Timing Control, the powerplant delivers 160 horsepower and 132 lb.-ft. of torque - the most ever for a Civic sold in Canada.

A unique feature about the SiR is the mounting of the transmission shifter onto the dashboard "rally style" for quick and easy operation. The shifter is mated to a close-ratio, short-throw 5-speed manual transmission.

Built at the Honda of the UK Manufacturing plant in Swindon, England, the 2002 Honda Civic SiR is set to arrive in showrooms at Canadian dealerships in early April.
