The sporty Civic Si sedan remains at the top for three-pedal fun.
The sedan is only offered with a 6-speed manual transmissionI have never bought a car that didn’t have a manual transmission. Sure, I have a truck with an automatic, but I inherited it—and trucks don’t count. From the Toyota Celica to the Jeep Wrangler to the Honda del Sol to way too many Miatas, all my cars have had three pedals, as God intended.
The refined aesthetic continues inside as well, with soft-touch materials and physical HVAC controls. There is a fair amount of contrasting red stitching and trim, which looks cool, and the red and black seats have an incorporated headrest just like the Recaro seats in my race car. Honda listened to complaints and added a heating element to these seats as well.
The 6-speed manual just makes the experience better. It has a rev-matching feature, but you can turn it off and practice your heel-toe skills. There is a touch of frustrating rev hang, but the pedal isn’t too heavy and the shifter’s throws are crisp.
