On this episode of Ignition, Carlos Lago sizes up the 2013 Honda Civic Si. With a naturally aspirated engine and 170 lb-ft of torque the Si attempts to compete in a increasingly competitive sport compact segment. Does this ninth generation Civic pack enough performance to take on rivals like the Ford Focus ST and the Volkswagen Golf GTI? Carlos takes it to the mountains and the test track to find out.
