The Honda Civic Si is a sport compact version of the compact car Honda Civic built by the Japanese automaker Honda
In 2002, the new Civic Si came back as a hatchback again, this time with a new 2.0 liter 160 horsepower i-VTEC engine which also produced 132 foot-pounds of torque. This motor was designated the K20A3. Unfortunately, having lost its dual wishbone suspension to MacPherson struts, the new car's handling took a hit, not being able to corner as famously as the Civics had in the past. Many were also sad to see the new Si get the less powerful of the newly released K-series motors. The RSX Type S received a more aggressive version of the 2.0 liter, the K20A2, putting out nearly 200 horsepower.
