The 2012 Honda Civic Si HFP has a conservative but well-finished interior with red contrast stitching adding character. It has a 201 HP engine that provides enjoyable performance, with a precise and encouraging drive helped by sticky tires and a growling engine paired with an easy to shift transmission. The rear seats fold down for a spacious trunk that makes the coupe versatile.
