On October 14, 2008, 128 units of the 2008-2009 Civic Si were recalled because of problems at the assembly line, which did not install all the proper equipment of the fuel tank. This could have led to a fuel leak and increased the chances of a fire. All units affected had the missing part directly assembled.

The Si seems to be quite popular with car thieves. In the Insurance Bureau of Canada's report on top 10 most stolen vehicles in 2005, the 2000 Honda Civic Si 2-door is ranked number one followed only by the 1999 Honda Civic Si coupe, ranked at number two.

The newest Civic Si is also the quickest Civic Si so far, with a 0-60 mph time of 6.7 seconds according to Honda, but with some tests posting times as quick as 6.3 seconds.

For a vehicle of its caliber, the Civic Si Coupe provides excellent efficiency sporting a 2.0-liter DOHC i-VTEC 4-cylinder engine; the all-new Si provides exceptional fuel economy, achieving 21 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway.

Starting at $21,905, the Civic Si Coupe is a tremendous buy for anyone looking for a stylish performer that is not scared to break loose. The all new Si is not likely to depreciate much in value, either, as their robust build and durable engines have proven to be popular at used car dealerships.

In an effort to maintain with the high standards of environmentally friendly models demanded by the public, the all-new Si is equipped with the latest technologies, such as the Drive-by-Wire throttle system, that allow the engine to pump out 197 hp while maintaining a Low-Emission Vehicle rating and optimal fuel efficiency at the same time.

The 2008 model year was a busy one for the Si, as it received minor tweaks that include even darker wheels than the 2007 model, as well as mechanical changes such as a new tire pressure monitor system. Also, 2008 saw the introduction of the Civic Si to the Canadian market.

Standard features on the all-new Si include a moon-roof, a seven-speaker 350-watt sound system, 17-inch alloy wheels with 215/45R17 Michelin all-season tires, and key-less trunk access.

The Si was redesigned for the 2006 model year along with all other Civic trims, bringing about significant changes that included a new 2.0 liter K20Z3 i-VTEC engine that produced 197 hp (147 kW) and 139 ft•lbf (188 N•m) of torque, while also including a 6-speed manual transmission (an automatic option is unavailable) with a helical limited slip differential.

The Honda Civic Si, which stands for "sports injected," is a compact sport version of the Civic. At the time of its inception in 1984, the Si signified the most powerful Civic available in the market.
