i just bought this a couple weeks ago and i'm 100% pleased with my decision. I drove the brand new st's and gti's as well and i think the si is faster acceleration wise but def not top speed. i just wish they did a little better job with the exterior but all in all its a fun drive

I'm debating on getting one of thse for my first car ... is it worth it .. are they really good sports cars

I have a 2012 Si and I absolutely love it. I checked out the GTI, Speed3 and WRX and only the Si fit the budget and feel perfectly. There is definite sporty high end rev with this model that some of the others don't have. In my opinion only the WRX made me waver in my purchase choice, but I like the svelte subdued effect of the Si that the WRX most definitely doesn't have. Great video review by the way.

GREAT review! one of the only good, in-depth reviews about the new si on youtube, all the others are dealers trying to sell the car. Im considering trading for an si and this video has helped a ton with my decision making process. i recently drove the new si and its a totally kick ass car! totally responsive, sleek and the new features are awesome for the price! Keep up the good reviews, guys.

Thank you! We are extremely thrilled that you enjoyed it and how it has helped you with your decision. Have you figured out whether you wanted the coupe or sedan yet?

I don't see any other manufacturers making over 200 horsepower with a naturally aspirated 2.4 liter engine. Honda has been doing this since the 90's. Give credit where credit is due. Guarantee that if you remove the turbos from all of the competition those cars wouldn't come anywhere near 200 horses.

I agree I mean 201 HP from 2.4L is just impressive. Honda has done that for years. I mean even the 2.0L K20 motor from the S2000 for example, that made 240 HP from only 2.0L which is 120 HP/L. I don’t see anyone else doing that, and the engines are all N/A which is an even greater feat.

Just sweet! Glad I got one (2013 Si Sedan) in blue. Planning in changing the exhaust configuration and the intake to add up about 20-30 more HP to it. Pretty darn good Si that can compete and beat any 4-cans out there... ...well done, Honda!

Damn. You guys do great reviews. Not only you do a real in car test drive without cutouts, but you also give great feedback and information on the car at the same time :D I don't regret subscribing to you guys.

An excellent, comprehensive and unbiased review. I wish there were more like it. Well done.

I think that the main thing that most people that review this car never talk about is that its a good aftermarket car i dont know about others but if a got a new civic it would be mainly a aftermarket car its very easy to add a turbo to them and get very good results.

For a show called "2theRedline", you sure don't redline that Civic enough haha.

Brilliant review Sofyan. Hope to see more reviews like this.

You're channel got a lot better congrats!!!!!!!!!!!

As much as I have always been a bmw fan my whole life I really enjoyed this review! Sure the si isn't the fastest car out there, but there's something about the si that one is drawn to. It clearly shows honda's racing roots and a honda engine is built to last and the sound of v-tec is music to my ears. A great daily driver car.

Its nice to have an option to get an NA car in the market of turbo chargers, for me as a medical student - reliability is the most important factory and with an Si this is the best choice, not to mention the awesome resale value. If you are a professional student or keep cars for more than the warranty period, get the Si - it will save you the headache of turbo charged cars and you will get most of your money back when you are ready to upgrade. From personal experience; I have a friend with a 2009 GTi DSG - he currently has 94k miles on it and he already had to replace the turbo on it, the Dual clutch gearbox requires expensive fluid flushes (At least in the VW) every 30k miles (around $500 at the dealership), With the civic si, all you need are oil changes & a transmission fluid flush every 50k miles (which is dirt cheap compared to the GTi) If you get a sedan Si you will also have the dirt cheap insurance for it aswell..

insurance really depends on so many factors like age, location, driving record, credit score etc etc. but overall a sedan civic Si is very cheap to insure, for example mine is about $120 a month for full coverage and a low deductible.

I just bought the exact model you tested same color and all, it's a great little tuner and I am very happy with the purchase Super Torquie and a lot of fun to drive.

We appreciate the support :) our editor in chief chooses to leave out the WRX or Evo because it is AWD. Even though, price wise it does compete some buyers do not want or need AWD which is why he sticks to FWD models. We should be reviewing Subaru and Mazda soon!

Very nice detailed review ! good job !

That's really up to you, our editor-in-chief cannot drive without the satellite radio but if you don't need it than skip the navigation package entirely. Honda does offer the Sat radio as a dealer accessory but at $400 dollars, it's a pricey option again.

I like how you did this review camera wise. You should do it for all or them.. It may take more work, but it's worth it and doesn't bore the viewer

The rear view camera will show up in the 5 inch i-MID display when you get a model without NAVI. Choosing between these two model will be tough. Both have strengths and weaknesses based on what is important to you. Both are priced roughly the same with the Accord Sport being a bit more. Tech features are pretty close, since all the really good tech is saved for the EX and above Accords. The Civic will be more fun to drive and quicker, plus easier to park but the Accord will be more comfortable.

Excellent review!

Best review yet guys the i-vtec shift lights come from the old civic type r fd2

Great review, made my day when you said that the door panel stitching is the way to distinguish between the coupe and sedan....I thought for sure it would have been the 2 extra doors hahaha

Great job! I'd like to let you know that this video really helped.

That window separation on the side doors near the mirrors looks like the ol 80s conversion vans the little windows that pop out lol

We may also add an ILX 6MT to the list depending on the deal an Acura dealer will do

Thanks for the ride!

Much higher quality!!! Awesome intro....BTW put your name in title I only watch your reviews

Supposedly, the 13 model has thicker sway bars but we didn't really notice. Only thing we did notice was the reduced road noise.

great review! the Civic Si looks great!

Very good video review, man. I'm actually trading in my tC for the sedan model. I put a deposit down already. I can't until it arrives!

Sweet review, sweet ride! Love the civics and especially love the new Si model BTW... Anyone know what song is playing in the background?

wow nice ride.....wish to have it someday....wonderful........... keep it up always for a very wide series of review......... i like the sound of the engine......

Best video yet!

Congratulations! your video quality has been improved really good. (sorry if my grammar is bad but this isn´t my hahaha).

You make an excellent point, however, keep in mind American cars are built to a much higher standard today vs.10 years ago when the Neon SRT-4 was out. Reliability is still unknown for the Focus ST but it's initial build quality is much improved vs its predecessor, the SVT Focus.

Although the Si may not be turbocharged, acceleration wise it can keep up surprisingly well with the GTI and price wise it falls right in line with the turbo competition. The Forte and tC are less expensive and cannot keep up power wise.

Thanks, this vid helped me in my shopping quest.

Never actually thought about it that way. Makes sense.

It may be under-powered in terms of the numbers, but the lighter weight of the Si allows it to keep pace and be even quicker than some competitors. 0-60 in 6.1 secs according to most test, place it just behind a Speed3 and ST which do the same sprint in 5.8-5.9 secs.

Nice review. Thumbs up.

I like how in the description, the integra was left out. bring it back!

That's what we were thinking. While the 4 cyl LX-S Accord coupe does come very close to the price of a base Si, the Accord simply has a different mission. You need to decide which is more important for you: a comfortable, sporty looking daily driver, or a quick and high strung corner carver with a louder exhaust note. The Accord is def the more mature car but it won't be as fun as the Si to drive. It's really up to you, take both for a drive and then you should be able to make a decision.

That was really slick putting the 2theRedlineLLC link behind the x on the "click here to watch our review of etc...: annotation

wow. the vehicle changed direction when you turned the steering wheel. impressive.

Great job on the reviews you guys have been doing!! I'm now on the market for a new car and I've been looking at the Accord '13 or '14 with manual transmission. If you can, would you do a review on the Accord Ex '14 with manual, please? Thanks!!

In terms of road noise, the GTI is still the quietest. However, compared to the 2012 you drove, this 13 model is a bit quieter, you will hear more of that lovely exhaust noise more over the road noise. Is it improved enough? That's really up for you to decide, drive the new model when you get the chance :)

I'm from the old school, the technique for engaging the clutch on steep hills is to use the e-brake, is tricky but it works, i never even knew there was a a" hill holding clutch".

Not much more, 225 hp back then. Also, that car cost around $40 grand in 2003. Today, a new 335xi will cost you around $50 grand at least.

my parents just bought me this car for my 16th birthday and im absolutely in love with it we have some rims on it and some new racing tires which makes it grip super well 6 speed manual Transmisson all just perfect

The 1.8 B18 motor never made 200 hp at least not in the U.S. The most it made came from the Intergra Type R at 195 hp. Impressive for sure but the old B18 motor had little torque and required high revs to get any power. While we do understand the appeal of high revs, this new 2.4L still supplies that high revving character while also giving you torque down low so the power is much more usable everyday.

Good review bro

You just listed most of the reasons why the Si is still a great choice in the segment. Sure, performance wise, the Si cannot compete with the Focus ST and Speed3 but that doesn't mean the Si isn't fun to drive in its own way. Most buyers find the handling to be sharp, combine it with the high revving engine and quick shifting 6 speed; you have a vehicle that will still put a smile on your face. Match it with Honda dependability and value and you have the reason why the Si sells pretty well.

wow, you guys have like the first review of this car

oh you should totally do one of those G37 coupes in the background :) my favorite

Great review! Is there any chance you can do a review on the Mazda 6?

Nice polish to this review

Professionally done review. Starting price of the SI is only about $700 less than a '13 Accord Sport, which has 18-inch wheels, paddle shif, dual exhaust and about 10 more pounds of torque. Although the SI has a LSD and may be faster around corners, the Accord Sport seems to provide an overall better value and practicality for the money. Best package: Accord Sport and a used S2000 for the CA canyons or Rt 129 (Tail of the Dragon

Everyone is different. You may think the WRX has a soft ride but others may say it's harsh. For you, the backseat can fit 3 people, someone else will say it's far too cramped. You may think the MPG is good, someone else may say its a gas guzzler. Everyone has different taste and needs, if you like your WRX, that is great. We simply state that for the majority of buyers, most will find the Si to be roomier, have more tech, get better MPG, and have a softer ride.

Good review. Subpar car for the current competition.

Great review! Please review some Mazdas (6, 3, CX-5)!

If you want to see a hard acceleration clip, check out our video on our long-term ILX 6MT. It is the same power train as this Si after all :)

The torque steer on the MS3 is not excessive even in stock form with the weak OEM engine mounts. I don't do launches in my car, but say I'm rolling along after shifting out from first and I put it into second, and floor the pedal. I would feel a bit of that torque steer even with both hands on the wheel, but it never once made me feel as if it was pulling out of control. My car is now stage 2, with all 3 upgraded engine mounts, and it's gotten even better.

Yea same here, Si is my first car though I'm somewhat regretting it now but I still love my Si, my next car is going to be an S2K hopefully 6 months from now, looking forward to it

He probably should have, but he was also using the engine breaking to help slow the car down around the corner.
