Cars are Andrew's jam, as is strawberry. After spending years as a regular ol' car fanatic, he started working his way through the echelons of the automotive industry, starting out as social-media director of a small European-focused garage outside of Chicago. From there, he moved to the editorial side, penning several written features in Total 911 Magazine before becoming a full-time auto writer, first for a local Chicago outlet and then for CNET Cars.

Its Display Audio infotainment system suffered from early criticisms over its lack of a volume knob, so Honda added one for 2019, in addition to physical buttons for navigating various corners of the system.

Honda also increased the size of the Si's cupholders, and the climate control now features physical buttons for adjusting the fan speed.

Honda also adjusted the Si's parking brake switch and its steering wheel controls, although those changes are relatively minor compared to the others.

Outside, the Civic Si remains the slightly sporty lookin' car it's always been, but there are two new colors on offer for 2019 -- Platinum White Pearl for both sedan and coupe, and Tonic Yellow Pearl for the coupe.
