I drove a 23 Civic Si while going through separation and gained an appreciation of driving a low limits car with a manual transmission after previously owing BMW M vehicles and Model 3 Performance. I generally think that car is one of the best bargains today as the 1.5L isn't anything special but the midrange power makes it feel quick at full throttle, the manual shifter is one of the nicest I have used, and Honda is great at probing the limits of FWD handling. It was an honest car that never over-promised or under-delivered. If anything it over-delivered as it was so frugal on gas considering how spirited I drove it regularly. It wasn't a perfect ownership experience from the dealer perspective but the car itself was really good and the perfect vehicle for a young adult or someone on a budget looking for something sporty and fun to drive.
