The review is for the Euro "Type R" not the same as the U.S. "Si". However, the Si would've faired worse in the review with lower horsepower, a different suspension, and smaller wheels and tires.
I did own a 2000 Civic Si before I moved up to a 2k SVT. The 2k Si was a great car and alot of fun to drive. But the SVT is a much more substantial car.
