Everyone bashing the civic is just trying to feel better about themselves with their own car. The SI is a great little car. I had a 2008 SI two cars ago, now I have a 2014 BRZ. Each have their selling points. I do like the BRZ more, but it is also newer. FWD really isnt much of a limitation for the civic, just watch this video

In my opinion the civic has the better engine, and the engine note is beautiful when vtec kicks in. The brz just sounds ugly. The civic also had a better ride, the best transmission/clutch I have ever touched, literally butter when shifting. MUCH better stock audio system, could fold the seats down and throw in my mountain bike, take it camping, take 4 coworkers to lunch, and still have fun throwing it around corners.
I gave up all of that for a cheap sporty, but immensly fun car to drive in the brz. Not everyone has the same priorities. Just love what you drive but don't put yourself on a high horse.
Personal opinion about the new civic though - I think they have stepped backwards, my 2008 2.0 was a blast, the new 2.4 with lower redline takes away some of that fun, and it doesn't look as nice anymore either.
