What is the best year for Honda civic si?

Are honda civic si coupe good cars. Thinking about getting a used one and gonna be doing some traveling so I need a reliable good on gas car. How are the brakes and how is it on curves and in snow. Is this the car for that? Also is it luxurious inside and comfortable. I'm thinking about getting a manual and wandering how the transmission is? What are the pros and cons I want to know all of them… Thank you

Well the 8th gen civics were the ones that had a K20 series engine which screams pleasure and vtec when it kicks in the crossover is amazing and good reliable and good in gas too. Transmission has close gears and interior is high in rating handling is also a good solid car with great suspension
