Imagine what these engines would put out without such a restrictive exhaust system.
Looks like honda it trying to kill the aftermarket support and make you buy a Si or Acura.

That motor is definitely not a D. As said earlier its a new variant. The R.
1.8L sohc with 140ish hp and more torque than an LS?
Thats all I remember... you can google those facts up pretty easy.
Oh its also has a timing Chain not belt.

drive by wire = electronic throttle control. the gas pedal is no long connected to a cable that goes to the throttle body. now it's all done electronically. making the car much smoother and less things to break. all bmw have them & the 06 s2000 have it as standard.
about the radio....who here keep their stock radio anyway? out of all of my used cars, the first thing i ever do to them is trash the oem radio and get myself a pioneer head unit.

the car is EXTREMEly fun to drive. extremely responsive steering response, it feels so quick and nimble, the drive by wire makes it so much smoother than conventional. also, honda revised the civics so now, the car is very very torquey down low but suffer on the top end. but i def prefer torque down low for stop & go than high end, it makes the car extremely fun. all for $14k. i love it.
i can see why it's named car of the year.
