This Civic Si is also lighter and stiffer than its predecessor, though Honda doesn't specify exactly by how much. Adaptive dampers with Normal and Sport settings are standard, as is a helical front limited-slip differential. The Si also shares its front upper control arms with the ultra-hardcore Civic Type R.
The seats in both vehicles were cloth. RESULTS Within 20 minutes, readings in both cars exceeded 125 F and reached a maximum stabilized temperature in 40 minutes (Figure). The temperature rise in the first 10-minute interval was more severe for the dark-colored enclosed sedan than for the light-colored minivan. The maximum stabilized temperature was also higher for the dark enclosed sedan (140 F compared to 138 F), which was a temperature rise of over 45 F in less than 1 hour.
Posts: n/a. Once the pressures are stabilized and the car is moving, not in stop and go traffic, it will maintain 38 degrees in 108 degree ambient temp as long as the recirc mode is working properly. 108 degrees ambient is the highest temp I have been in since I started keeping a thermometer in the vent.
