Coupe and Sedan versions are powered by a more powerful and more fuel-efficient 140-horsepower 1.8-liter SOHC i-VTEC 4-cylinder engine. The Civic Si is powered by a 197-horsepower 2.0-liter i-VTEC 4-cylinder engine mated with a 6-speed manual transmission and features a helical-type limited slip differential, a rear deck spoiler, and 17-inch alloy wheels.

The Civic is Honda’s compact car, offered in sedan and coupe versions. First introduced as a small, inexpensive hatchback in 1972, the Civic has increased in size while continuing to offer excellent fuel economy. The seventh generation Civic arrived as a 2001 model and the Civic Si returned for 2002. The Civic Hybrid was added as a 2003 model and features gas-electric hybrid technology. The entire Civic line is all-new for 2006.
