Used 1999 Honda Civic Si 2dr Coupe Consumer Reviews
First New Car.....
Well, The '99 Si was my first brand new car. I was driving an '87 Prelude Si. When I first test drove it, I felt that the prelude was snappier. i then decided to try a theory. Since the Civic had an entirely different RPM range, I changed the RPM where I was shifting and it became another beast. I bought the car that day.

this honda civic is a great car and is great on gas mileage. I love driving this car. The V-Tec on this car is also very helpful for street racing
Si
Great little car, however, developed electrical problems after only 34,000 miles, dealer couldnt fix it until the 3rd try. I bailed before any other little problems came on, ironically occurred right after the warranty expired.
Cheap, head-turning fun
This car is a blast to drive. It loves to be driven like a race car, but at the same time it is a great daily driver, smooth and quiet. VTEC gives this car a split personality above and below 4000 revs.
Low $ / High Return
Three years old and it still gets looks from everybody. Great performance form only 1.6 liters. Rev it up to 6-7,000 rmp and let it rip. Get rid of the crappy Michelins, switch to performance tires. I have Toyo Proxes T1-S on her now, and what a difference. Change the brake pads as soon as you can, get EBC Green Stuff pads, you'll love them. This car gets 30+ mpg on the highway and 22+ when you decide to play. Reliable,Reliable,Reliable,Reliable. Bottom line.....Best Si Honda has made to date (although, the new Si HB is very, very nice).
