Civic Si FC3

The Honda Civic Si FC3, produced from 2012 to 2015, is the sporty performance version of the ninth-generation Civic coupe. It features a 2.4-liter inline-four engine (K24Z7) producing 201 horsepower and 170 lb-ft of torque, paired exclusively with a 6-speed manual transmission. This generation introduced the larger-displacement engine, which offered improved mid-range torque over previous Si models, making it more accessible for daily driving while retaining the high-revving nature Honda’s Si models are known for.

The Civic Si FC3 includes a sport-tuned suspension, limited-slip differential, and enhanced styling with unique Si badging, a rear spoiler, and 17-inch alloy wheels. Inside, it has sport seats, red interior accents, and a digital gauge cluster with a multi-information display. Throughout its production, Honda made updates to address interior quality and sound insulation, culminating in a 2014 refresh that added revised front and rear styling, an upgraded infotainment system with a 7-inch touchscreen, HondaLink integration, and a slight increase in horsepower to 205 hp.

Known for its balance of reliability, practicality, and performance, the Civic Si FC3 remains a popular choice for enthusiasts seeking an engaging, affordable sport compact.
