2006 Honda Civic Si

On a recent trip to the world-famous Mazda Laguna Seca Raceway, we finally got to stretch the legs of our Si. Ace hot-shoe Max "the Axe" Angelelli was behind the wheel putting in a lap just under one minute, 55 seconds. Not too bad for a car with less than 200 horsepower.

Upon returning from Laguna, we took the Si in for its third service, oil and washer-fluid change. The issue of sustained revs when coming off throttle continues to annoy most on staff, but so far that's the only real complaint with this winner of our 2006 Car of the Year competition.
