1999 Honda Civic Si review from North America
"A great high performance street racer!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to change the spark plugs after about 15,000 miles, but what do you expect from a high performance sport compact car. If you have replaced the sparkplugs in yours yet you will know the high price for the only type of plugs it will run with (Platinum Plugs).
The Michelin tires that came stock got horrible mileage, I have already had to replace them since I have had the car. ALso the price for the Michelin's are EXTREME! I own an automotive service and repair shop and I get tires for wholesale price for myself and the price was still way too high for 15" tires. Thanks to Honda for putting a special sized tire on the car.
General comments?
Overall the car is great, it is a good car to drive everyday and race whenever possible.
It could have been produced with more horsepower and especially more torque!
