Honda’s sportiest and most fun-to-drive Civic, the 2012 Si, has freshened interior and exterior, more power than ever and higher fuel economy ratings than its predecessor.

In fact, the Si’s new, 201-horsepower, naturally aspirated, 2.4-liter four cylinder is the same engine that’s in the much-pricier 2012 Acura TSX and gives the 2012 Si new spirit, even if it’s not turbocharged power.
