Safety
With standard dual front, seat-mounted side, and side curtain airbags, the 2006 Honda Civic Si should prove its crashworthiness when the NHTSA and IIHS conduct testing later this year.
The 2006 Honda Civic Si focuses as much on safety as it does performance. Standard equipment includes dual-stage, dual-threshold front airbags; seat-mounted front side airbags; front and rear side curtain airbags; antilock brakes with independent electronic rear brake distribution; and active head restraints. Plus, the new Civic Si was engineered using Honda’s Advanced Compatibility Body Structure (ACE) principles, which dictate better crash energy absorption through multiple load paths that limit structural penetration. What does this mean to you? Honda expects the 2006 Civic Si to receive five-star frontal crash-test ratings from NHTSA and a “Good” rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) in the 40-mph offset crash test. Furthermore, Honda predicts that the Civic Si will get a ‘Good” rating from the IIHS for side-impact protection, with NHTSA assigning a four-star front occupant side-impact score and a five-star rear occupant side-impact score.
