Pros: What do you like about 2009 Honda Civic Si Sedan?
The power and ability to maneuver through freeway traffic is impressive. I love the look on driver's faces when I "out gun" them, for the sole purpose of gaining a better or safer lane position.
The interior provides enough space so as to give the impression you're driving a midsized sedan
and not a sports car.
The instrument panel and controls are well laid out and easy to reach requiring no effort.
The stereo system is superb, allowing the hardest Rock to the finest Jazz to come back at you with the utmost clarity.
Well done Honda!
Cons: How would you improve 2009 Honda Civic Si Sedan?
It perhaps would not be a bad idea for Honda to share what it has learned from the Mugen Si and pass it on to future Si generations. In short, I feel the stock suspension leaves a great deal to be desired. I can't help but believe that the SI should have come with Eibach prokit springs or like spring rates, along with improved sway bars to make a truly great machine. These are likely my next upgrades which I'm hoping will make the car meet my expectations.
Also, the styling does not exactly move me. Mitsu's Lancer has better styling cues, but is by far an inferior car...hence I'm in the SI.
2009 Honda Civic Si Sedan Review:
Overall, how can anyone really complain about the 2009 SI? With today's fuel prices and what the car offers consumers in pricing, reliability, and the standard features included, it more than overcomes its few shortcomings.
Would I buy another? Well if I did not love my FR cars
(rear wheel drive, for those of you in the know) then the Civic Si gets my vote.
BTW this is my first Honda...now I know what all the fuss is about!

Pros: What do you like about 2009 Honda Civic Si Sedan?
Four doors on a sports sedan.
Economical, functional and sporty all at the same time.
It's just a fun car to drive, and makes everyday enjoyable.
Cons: How would you improve 2009 Honda Civic Si Sedan?
Honda needs to sporty up the look of the car. With four doors, it started to look just like any other four door civic. I'm sure they can do some creative things to with, without forcing its owners to go aftermarket.
2009 Honda Civic Si Sedan Review:
A sports sedan to the core. It performs on highways and mountain curves almost as a sports car would. But the car is so economical, it does not feel guilty to be owning this car.
And the four doors are great.
I highly recommend this car to anyone who likes fun, economical, and functional cars.

Pros: What do you like about 2009 Honda Civic Si Sedan?
Engine, gear box and sport tuned ride. Why a reviewer before says a better stereo is needed is a mystery to me. It's got 350 watts! It sounds sweet. The car has great room for a mid sized car and I like the exclusivity of the Si status. I bought mine in Dallas and it was the only one with Navi and the color I wanted in the city.
Cons: How would you improve 2009 Honda Civic Si Sedan?
Try to gain a bit more torque. Also, when the car is turned off, can you make all the doors unlock automatically? That is annoying when you have your hands full. Car needs a true change holder. I think that a factory fender mounted turn blinker kit would be a nice touch for the car. Lastly, the Navi screen should be able to stay on the screen that you left it on when you turned the car off last. Maybe I haven't read the book enough about this?
2009 Honda Civic Si Sedan Review:
The BEST value with all the bells and whistles. Period. Mazda, Toyota.... no one can match this car. AND, it is a fantastic value for insurance, even with the stronger motor.
