Reviews SummaryUnchanged since it last received a redesign for the 2022 model year, the 11th generation 2024 Civic Si takes everything that is good about the standard Civic Sedan and amplifies it for people who love the journey as much as the destination. It has a high-output turbocharged engine, comes only with a manual transmission and front-wheel drive, and boasts dynamic improvements that make it more rewarding to drive. In addition, because you must know how to use a clutch pedal to operate this car, owning one is like joining an exclusive club limiting membership to legitimate car enthusiasts. | |
Reviews SummaryWith the debut of its 4th-generation platform, the Kia Rio adds size and weight for a more stable presence on the road, concurrently firming up its suspension to toss a little sportiness into the mix. With quality construction, an impressive warranty, and a starting MSRP of just $13,900, it’s no wonder the Rio is Kia’s best-selling vehicle internationally. | |
