How to figure out if it is really civic si 2001?
Hi all, I bought a honda civic 2001 coupe. I was always wondering if it is really civic si. Since the last owner took off the civic sign back of the car. Without that sign it really looks similuar for first timer. I open the hood and can see v-tec engine. Are there any different way to check it out? Please kindly advice me! Many thanks in advance! A: I will tell you right now that it is not because Honda did not make the Si model for the 2001 model year. Another clue would be if your car is an automatic. The Si has never been an automatic. If your car has a sunroof, it is an EX. If it doesn’t, it is an LX. The 2000 and the 2002 Si are different generations and have very different looks. The 2000 is a true coupe and the 2002 was a hatchback.
