  • Specially tuned dampers
  • Recalibrated steering for maximum control and feedback
The Limited Edition also comes in one color—Phoenix Yellow. All Limited Edition cars will also have their own individually numbered serial plate. Additional model-exclusive treatment includes contrasting gloss black paint on the outside mirror caps, roof, and intake vent on the hood, plus a dark chrome Civic badge at the rear.
