2010 Honda Civic Si Coupe Gallery PicturesIn addition to fuel-efficient economy cars, Honda (along with its luxury division Acura) has occasionally been known for offering exciting models that deliver plenty of performance. With historical nameplates such as the Honda CR-X, Acura Integra, Honda S2000 and Acura NSX now gone, the sole performance model left for Honda is the Honda Civic Si. Having been around since 1984, Honda’s recipe for the Civic Si is simple and has remained the same over the years: in equal parts, just mix a small, lightweight car with a powerful, performance-tuned engine and serve over any road course of choice.
Just like the fuel-efficient versions of the Civic, 2010 Honda Civic Si is the only car in its class that is available as both a sedan and a coupe. I had the opportunity to test out the in coupe form which is likely to be cross shopped against other sport compacts such as the Chevrolet Cobalt SS, Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart or the Subaru Impreza WRX. Of all these models, the Civic Si Coupe offers the lowest entry price with a starting MSRP of $22,055 ($200 less than the Civic Si Sedan), but with the optional navigation system and summer tires, this Si Coupe started at $24,255. As is the case with any sports car, I wanted to see just how easy the Honda Civic Si Coupe performed in rudimentary daily driving in addition to its acclaimed abilities in tight, twisty roads, and in the end I was quite impressed with both aspects of the rev-happy coupe.
