2007 Honda Civic

If you've been hunting for a sporty, driver-focused compact that actually puts a smile on your face every single time you turn the key, this 2007 Honda Civic SI Sedan for sale at Diamond Auto Exchange in Colton, California is worth a serious look. With 86,001 miles on the clock, a rev-happy 2.0-liter VTEC engine, and a slick 6-speed manual transmission, this is the kind of car that enthusiasts seek out specifically — and they don't stay on the lot for long.
 About This 2007 Honda Civic SI Sedan The Civic SI has always occupied a unique space in the compact car world: it's practical enough to use as a daily driver, yet engaging enough to make every commute feel like an event. This particular example, Stock #DA4768, carries 86,001 miles — a very reasonable number for a car of this age, especially given the SI's well-documented reputation for durability when properly maintained. The SI Sedan trim was particularly appealing to buyers who wanted the performance of the coupe but the practicality of four doors, making this a genuinely versatile choice for Southern California drivers.
 2007 Honda Civic SI Performance and EngineThe Legendary K20Z3 VTEC Engine Under the hood sits Honda's 2.0-liter inline-four VTEC engine — the K20Z3 — which produces 197 horsepower in this application. What makes this engine truly special isn't just the output number; it's the character. VTEC engages around 5,800 RPM and the engine screams willingly all the way to an 8,000 RPM redline, delivering a driving experience that simply doesn't exist in today's turbocharged, efficiency-focused compact segment.
 6-Speed Manual Transmission Paired with a close-ratio 6-speed manual gearbox, this drivetrain combination is exactly what Honda intended. The shifter is precise, the throws are short, and the clutch engagement is progressive — characteristics that made the 8th-generation Civic SI a benchmark for front-wheel-drive sport compacts. Whether you're navigating the 10 Freeway or carving through the hills above Redlands, this setup rewards skilled drivers every mile. Front-wheel drive keeps things predictable and manageable, and the SI's sport-tuned suspension keeps body roll firmly in check.
 Honda Civic SI Features and Interior The SI Sedan trim brought meaningful upgrades over the standard Civic. Inside, you'll find sport bucket seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with a flat bottom feel and red stitching accents, and a driver-focused cockpit layout that puts everything exactly where your hands want it. The instrument cluster features a large central tachometer — a deliberate design choice by Honda to keep your eyes on the revs where they belong.

Rear passengers benefit from the sedan's additional door and more practical ingress and egress compared to the coupe, making this a genuinely usable four-seat car. Cargo space in the trunk is competitive for the class, and the overall interior quality reflects Honda's mid-2000s build standards — solid, well-fitted, and aged remarkably well.
 Honda Civic SI Reliability and Ownership The 8th-generation Civic SI has an outstanding long-term reliability record. The K20Z3 engine is widely regarded as one of Honda's most dependable motors ever produced — naturally aspirated, simple in design, and extremely tolerant of high-rev driving when oil changes are kept current. These cars routinely surpass 150,000 and even 200,000 miles in good hands.

Owners consistently praise the low cost of ownership: parts are affordable, independent mechanics are thoroughly familiar with the platform, and the manual transmission is robust when not abused. Common items to be aware of at this mileage include clutch wear (dependent heavily on driving style), valve adjustment intervals, and the 6th-gear pop-out issue that affected some early examples — a well-known quirk that Honda addressed and most examples have had corr
