1999 Honda Civic SIR from North America - Comments

I owned the car for almost 3 years and only replaced the tires and the brakes. The most reliable car I have ever owned.

I have been a Honda man since the day I got my license. My first car was an 89 CRX SI, then a 97 Prelude. Both were high points in Gondas history. My 99 SIR was a perfect blend of the 2. The reliability and low running cost of the CRX, and the performance of the Prelude. 2600lbs, 160 hp. Not bad.

I drove this car across the country and had it up over 135 mph more than a few times. Although not as sophisticated as the Prelude, it wasn't too far off the mark.

I once got 700km to a single tank driving through the mountains at around 120 km/h driving from Vancouver to Calgary. I couldn't believe it.

Handling was superb. This this was a star on city streets as well as the highway.

Unfortunately a girl ran a red light and totaled the thing. The only place for me to go now is an S2000. Still a little too much cake for me to spend... thanks Honda but you haven't built a nice car since 2001...

I believe you, I just bought a 2006 Civic Si, but it has problem with the transmission, especially for third gear.

Honda should improve this.
