Pros: What do you like about 2007 Honda Civic Si Sedan?
The engine, mostly. It's got gobs of power - but only over a very limited range of RPM. This car MUST have a six-speed gearbox, so that you can keep the engine in that limited 6800-8000 RPM range for power if you need it. On the other hand, below 6800 RPM, this is really the first Honda Si engine that had enough torque to be a daily driver.
Handling - dead-flat. You cannot make this car lean in corners, which is fabulous. The steering is VERY quick, although very numb.
Transmission - in the one hour I drove it, the trans was easy to get used to, and the clutch easy to modulate.
Interior space. You will never know you're in a compact car if you sit in those back seats. My mid-sized Accord doesn't have that kind of legroom! Seriously, if you sit in the rear seat and place your feet on the floor, there's a full six inches between your toes and the back of the front seats. I test drove the Civic Si after testing a much larger and heavier Infiniti G37, and the Honda's interior accommodations seem MUCH larger than the Infiniti's.
Cons: How would you improve 2007 Honda Civic Si Sedan?
Steering - it has no feel whatsoever. This is unforgivable in a "sports" car and is 90% of the reason why I knocked the performance all the way from 5 to 3. In a sports car, you should be able to tell through your fingertips what kind of road surface you're on. This steering feels like it was designed for your grandmother to drive it.
Dashboard. Garish/bizarre. What the heck where they thinking? A digital speedo in a hotrod? Digital speedos came and went in the 1980s...a terrible human interface device. And that split-level dashboard...what's up with that? Please, give us a real speedo, and place it next to the tach, not above it and a foot further away.
Exterior. The i-Vtec logo and Si logo look like they were bought at KMart and pasted on. I plan to buy one of these cars, and hope they're removable. Regrettably, the trashy cheap looking spoiler can only be removed if you like holes in the trunk. You cannot get this car without a sunroof, and Honda sunroofs LOVE to leak water into the trunk. Please make this liability an option.
Exhaust - honest, it doesn't have to be this loud.
Radio/heater controls. Too busy. Not logical, like the old Civics.
2007 Honda Civic Si Sedan Review:
The overall feel of the car is that it has a lot of substance. But it also can "get away from you". Be careful pushing on the throttle. When the 2.0L engine hits 6800 RPM, the action is much more dramatic than a turbo charged car. An easy-to-control power source, it is not. The suspension is quirky, too...it doesn't "fit" with itself. It hammers you, because it's so stiff, and you accept that as the compromise for the gorgeous flat handling. But the steering almost feels disconnected from the wheels, it's so numb.
This is a compromise car. For the MPG, it's fast. For a car that fits 5 adults well and has great rear legroom, it handles like it's on rails. But the "driver experience" is not one of driver involvement, due to the lack of steering wheel feel...it's as if you're just issuing commands to a computer and the car follows.
I'd buy a WRX instead, except that I am not impressed with Subie reliability. I'd buy an Infinite G37 instead, except that I do haul around rear seat passengers, and it's insulting to them. Also, the G37's suspension is a bit floaty by comparison with the Si.
The Si has always meant "weird, goofy boy-racer" since we first saw the designation on the 1985 CRX Si. And that's still what it means.

Pros: What do you like about 2007 Honda Civic Si Sedan?
It is a very sharp looking car. For starts, it handles like a dream. It has the power when needed and the gas mileage is great depending how you drive it. You can drive this car in two ways - slow and easy or hard and fast - both ways this car is wonderful.
I have never owned a Honda or for that matter any foreign car. I have owned many Fords, Chevys and Chryslers and this car exceeds them all. I am 42 years old so I am speaking out of experience with a lot of makes and models of many different cars I have owned.
I had to write this review even though I never wrote one before, because of how impressed I really am, so if you're looking for a great car, then this is for you. Young or old, the Civic si has a place for all, and one more thing this car is a lot of fun to drive. I find myself looking for a reason to take a ride, I want to thank Honda for making a sedan which is the one I bought.
This car is a winner hands down...
Cons: How would you improve 2007 Honda Civic Si Sedan?
I Really Love the car, just like it is, and I would change nothing.
2007 Honda Civic Si Sedan Review:
OK, where do I start? This car is, first of all, the most fun car I have ever driven. I am 42 years old and have owned many different cars. I have never owned a foreign car so this is a first. You can drive this car 2 different ways, slow and easy or hard and fast, and it does both wonderfully. The handling on this car is remarkable, like a dream.
I find myself looking for a reason to drive it. The looks of the car is really sharp. It gets great gas mileage - I am getting 32 highway 27 city and I like to drive it a little on the hard side.
I really am impressed and I want to thank Honda for making such a high performance car at such a reasonable price. This car is for all old or young or right in the middle like me. I never wrote a review before but this car I had to write about because I am so happy with it. Buy it, enjoy it. This car will not let you down, plus it has won all kind of safety awards rated #1 and now I see why. I hope this review helps. Good luck and have fun, with this car fun is its nature.

2007 Honda Civic Si Sedan Review:
Good car with a few quirks. The radio antenna obtains poor reception, the seats get fuzzy and linty easy. The speedometer should be where the tach is and vice versa. The oil fllter is exceptionally hard to get to with car on jacks (have to remove the front right wheel and tire).
