Alam ko 1.8 ata yung standard engine, with 5-speed manual or 5-speed automatic. Interior is nice, but I hope there's more than 2 spokes on the steering wheel.

Let's hope this 8th gen Civic can finally fill in the shoes of the very successful 6th gen, but I would have liked the USDM rear.

From TOV website:

The K-series Strikes Again
The 2006 Civic Si's K20Z3 engine is one more member of the highly exalted K-series lineup. Combining elements from a variety of other K-series engines (K20A2 style head, Euro-R RBC intake manifold, K20A3 style balance shaft, K20Z1 style camshafts, etc.), it exhibits a smooth, refined demeanor along with a typical Honda high rpm rush of power, and a typical Honda VTEC dip as well.

While nothing leads us to believe that the K20Z3 won't be just as capable in the aftermarket as other K-series engines, it does face the hurdle of a completely new ECU and drivebywire, so modifications may be a little more difficult (we'll be the first to tell you in our project car chronicles).

completely stock dyno runs:
1st run 197.9hp
2nd run 204hp
3rd run 209hp

I bet the next new thread at the Car Comparisons Forum would be...

Z3 or MZ3? :evillaugh
