If the Civic Si coupe is too small for your growing family, then the Si sedan is your answer. What better way for you to spend time with the whole family with its 197 horsepower four-cylinder engine, going from zero to 60 mph in about 6.7 seconds. This small sedan can not only handle the track, but it can be driven comfortably daily. It has standard front and side curtain air bags and electronic stability control.

The bottom line is that the Civic Si sedan combines the best of both worlds in terms of performance and daily driving duties. The Volkswagen GTI is the most direct competition as it too can deliver the needs of the speed freak family man/woman. With a redesign on the way, it'll be fun to see how Honda improves the performance of an already fantastic machine.
