With a global reveal complete with dynamic video footage, Honda offered us a bird's eye view of the 2017 Honda Civic Si Coupe two-door and 4-door sedan, and its production variants showed us what we can expect from the automaker in its upcoming release. Just imagine powering the sportster across San Jose-area terrain. We at Honda of Stevens Creek surely can!
And the 2017 Civic Si showing of a lightweight, rigid body and upgraded chassis and drive components look just scratches the surface. A turbocharged high-performance, 1.5-liter, directed-injected DOHC in-line 4-cylinder engine presents under the hood, and it's paired with the hands-on control thrill that only a short-throw, 6-speed manual transmission can deliver. 205 horsepower and 192 pound-feet of torque push the beast at a lower rpm, and as they're sustained over 70 percent of the rev range, the 2017 Civic Si drive-time ought to prove a blast.
There's plenty to spark interest in the build design, too. The prospect of a tuned suspension, complete with stiffer spring rates, as well as improved stabilizer bar rigidity and solid front and rear compliance bushings, offers the promise of a ride pushing the limits of sporty. You can enjoy control comfort under the auspices of a Normal drive mode, and Sport mode's optimized for damping, steering and throttle response suited to travel conditions and handling preferences. One can even glimpse a nod to the upcoming line-apex Honda Civic Type R, itself appearing to be a commander of the road.
Needless to say, we, the staff of Honda experts here at Honda of Stevens Creek, surely look forward to the day when we can step into the driver's seat of a 2017 Honda Civic Si for a spin. While you wait, however, you're welcome to visit our dealer showroom here at 4590 Stevens Creek Boulevard in San Jose, where we'll show you the metaphorical ropes of a 2017 Honda Civic coupe, hatchback or sedan to show what owning a Honda can mean for your long haul. We look forward to meeting you!
