Honda Civic SIR Review

Good Points
Double-wishbone suspension front and rear

Four wheel disk brakes, ABS equipped, High top end power.

Bad Points
The cupholders are absolutely unusable. A serious oversight on the part of the designers of the interior. Do not trust any cups/mugs/containers full of any liquid in these things.

General Comments
I'm a proud owner of a 99 Honda Civic SIR. This is one great fun car to be with. I love this car. It handles great, has decent power, sounds AWESOME above 5500 rpm at WOT, looks great in an understated way, and its a Honda. There are faster cars, and there are cheaper cars, but there are no faster cheaper cars than the SiR. Below 5500 rpm, it feels ok. Above 5500, wow! Yes, I realize it is no torquey V8 off the line, but it rips for a 1.6 litre four cylinder. Again, be prepared to take it to redline and/or shift down when necessary in order to go now. Under normal driving it feels like a regular Civic, which is fine with me - a split personality, if you will...
