Although the Civic Si is less powerful than its predecessor, Honda claims that the wider power curves will make the sedan more sporty in everyday driving conditions. The turbo four-cylinder turbo delivers its peak torque 300 more quickly than the previous generation. It also retains more power between 6,500 and 6,500 rpm. The new single-mass flywheel, which is lighter and more responsive than the previous generation, should give a quicker throttle response.
The six-speed manual gearbox has 10-percent quicker gear changes, and it also features a rev matching system sourced from Civic Type R.
A completely retuned suspension is another mechanical improvement for the new Si. The suspension now has stiffer springs and stiffer dampers. It also features thicker anti-roll bars. Honda claims that the steering system has undergone significant improvements, which should result in a better feeling of steering.
