Honda’s Civic line has a special place in many enthusiasts’ hearts, and for many good reasons. It’s one of Honda’s better-selling models, and looking at the way the company is handling the line, this trend will likely continue in the future as well. Because the new Honda Civic Si, according to reviewers, is a beast with a stunning appearance and just as impressive package under the hood. It’s not an entry-level model, but that’s really not the point here – this is a car obviously aimed at more serious enthusiasts.
Of course, this is also reflected in the way Honda are manufacturing the vehicle, as the Civic Si is a limited edition car, and it’s not meant for the everyday buyer looking for something random to take on the road. Honda have been doing a lot to improve the Civic Si, both in terms of appearance as well as its capabilities, and while this was already noticeable in the 2014 model, the 2015 one really drives the point home, according to critics.
Apart from a great engine and a revised exterior that really grabs the eye, the 2015 Honda Civic Si also comes with more advanced use of gadgets in the interior, including better connectivity through Bluetooth and camera-assisted parking systems. Other than that, the 2015 Civic Si is said to have a good balance between price and features, offering solid performance on the road without draining buyers’ bank accounts too heavily. This is particularly interesting given the car’s manufacturing, as Honda were expected to put a higher price tag on it.
Meanwhile, in the UK, Honda started the pre-order campaign for the Civic Type R in the beginning of the month, and interested buyers could put down a $4,725 deposit to register their interest in the car. The Type R is a street performance model also aimed at true enthusiasts who like to have some power at their disposal, and it comes with an even more powerful 2.0 liter engine. Honda themselves have been boasting the powerful capabilities of the new 2015 Civic Type R, claiming that no other car in the line has offered such amazing performance before.
It appears that Honda have a lot lined up for serious enthusiasts in 2015, and there’s a good reason why the company has always enjoyed such strong popularity among these communities. Critics have also been generally enthusiastic about the new upcoming offers by Honda, and looking at some of their competitors as well, it seems that 2015 will be an interesting year for those who’re looking to get themselves a new, more powerful car with serious customization potential.
