April 6, 2017 was a big day for news out of Honda North America headquarters in Torrance, CA. There came a Honda global reveal, in dynamic video footage of the upcoming 2017 Honda Civic Si coupe two-door and 4-door sedan and its production variants. And when the road warrior finally releases in the US, we at Pensacola Honda will be grinding gears to get behind its wheel.
Drivers from Fort Walton Beach and Milton can look forward to a lightweight, rigid body and upgraded chassis and drive components, as well as a turbocharged high-performance, 1.5-liter, directed-injected DOHC in-line 4-cylinder engine. And once 2017 Honda Civic Si peels out with 192 pound-feet of torque driving 205 horsepower at a sporty low rpm, sustained over 70 percent of the rev range, a short-throw, 6-speed manual transmission kicks in to shift gears with that sought-after hands-on control thrill.
And the 2017 Honda Civic Si redefines the notion of sport just as much in its build. Standout features such as a tuned suspension with stiffer spring rates, improved stabilizer bar rigidity and solid front and rear compliance bushings keep coupe and sedan alike a blast to drive over diverse terrain. A And if you're looking for comfort for urban travels to boot, 2017 Civic Si offers a Normal drive mode, foil to its damping-, steering- and throttle response-optimized Sport mode. One can even glimpse, in the roadster's ultra-rigid front upper control arms, a nod to the line-topping Honda Civic Type R, soon to appear for cruising alongside its sibling.
With what looks to be in store, our 5600 Pensacola Boulevard showroom would definitely welcome a 2017 Honda Civic Si to grace its fellow 2017 Honda Civic coupes, hatchbacks, and sedans. While we await this beauty, you don't have to forgo exploring the benefits of a brand-new Honda vehicle. Stop by and see us here in Pensacola, FL today, and we can set you up with a test drive!
