I bought this 2023 model at MSRP from a dealer in the Sacramento area. It’s so much fun.

How? Is this a rhetorical question? Assuming it’s not, I simply picked up the phone and asked different dealers within a 100 mile radius. I was polite but firm.

Hi David, I agree with you 100% the Honda Civic SI is priced right and has a lot of reliability and dependability when I was younger I had a 1986 Honda CRX SI, and it was a lot of fun to drive and it was only 90 hp and got tremendous gas mileage. I really enjoyed that vehicle , this sounds like a modern version of that…❤

David 1 problem VAST MAJORITY of Honda dealerships are selling it for ABOVE MSRP. Thousands above MSRP.

Where I live, I’ve found some for $500 over MSRP. Grant it, the chances of you getting the color you may want is lower than with other cars. However, In my mind 30k US for a civic si is still 8k too high especially when the MSRP of the Canadian model with all the extra standard features translates to 27k US

David, that is a great looking vehicle inside and out. Honda has made great strides on their interior. When you said manual transmission I was shocked happily shocked and looking forward to driving a Civic Si soon. Before I started buying 4Runner’s and Tacoma’s, I had bought a 2006 Civic coupe. After I sold it, I very much regretted it. Thank you again for a great review.

I admire every frame😚

Picking up one of these here in vancouver before the end of this month, looking forward to it. Getting a new 24

I’m usually all for Honda and Yota. However, there’s another Honda enthusiast here on YT and I also follow his channel. He recently purchased the 2.0 L Honda Civic 6 speed Manual. His new 2023 Civic has a water leak getting in somewhere through the hatch back area… he recently went to change his oil as he also does all his own maintenance only to find the valve cover gasket already leaking oil throughout the engine compartment. He brought it to the dealer and they changed the gasket and he had them do the oil change while the car was being repaired. I really love Hondas but this is concerning and I felt bad for him because he’s a Honda lover too and I’m hoping he doesn’t have any more issues. His new 2023 just barely hit 3000 miles

Seems like all manufacturers have declined in quality since the pandemic. Part of it is designs have become much more complicated with much more tech. Part of it seems to be supply chain problems. Part of it seems to be that humanity cares a little bit less about quality and is worried a little bit more about the future.

He got the 2.0 sport trim. This is a 1.5 T Si. Slightly different car. Slightly different suspension. Slightly different transmission. This car includes a LSD. It also has slightly different interior seats for the driver and passenger. It has so many slightly different things it's almost like a different car.

I have a Civic but in the hybrid version, 2.0 Sport Trim. 4500 miles so far, no water seepage in the trunk area, no valve cover gasket oil leaks. In fact, the engine is dry and clean like the first day.

1.5L is a garbage engine. So many head gasket problems before 100,000 Km. Buy the naturally aspirated version. Exterior styling is great though.

@@stevenstrain283 I’m not sure but if I had to guess I would say it’s probably because he wants to know it’s done right. He seems to really love Honda Civics. If I had the knowledge and confidence to do all of my own maintenance on my new car or truck and the time that it takes I would do the same.

I have this car 2022 Si I really enjoy it. Although I prefer the civic type R for a more powerful and track capable drive, I still love the balance of a fuel efficiency and sportiness with a precise steering feel.

I drove the Si and loved it. You forgot to mention the Elantra N which is only a few thousand more.

I don't know if they recently changed it but as of 2022 the Si 1.5 has stronger internals than the other 1.5's. If you want to put power to this engine this is the one to have.

Hi David, regarding winter auti-rust proofing for GX 460, should I choose the dealer wax based anti rust proofing service or just choose any other outside garage service？ Thank you in advance!

Love my 10th generation civic...it's my baby...

If they sold the canadian spec version in the US I would definitely buy, but its just missing too many features in the US and you cant add them on either

I love my 14 si coupe. The new ones are barely faster than mine but it feels like it shouldn’t be an si but a stock civic. The real si is the type r with thr true vetch.

Is there any difference between the si coming from Canada to USA and the ones sold in the Canadian market ?

What about 1.5 litre honda civic engine oil distillation issue. Has this been rectified ?

Even at MSRP this vehicle is overpriced. In 2020 it was around $31k CAD. Now it's almost $38k CAD. It's risen $7,000 in 3 years. That is insane. You can get an inventory Tesla 3 for less than that after rebates in Canada. Honda has done this with almost every single model and they are now pricing out their long-term customers.

New gen and inflation. Still a great product for 30k American

Do you know why Honda and Acura are now building 2025 2 door coupes based off the same platform? I thought the demand for inexpensive 2 door coupes was dead. Especially because crossovers are now very popular.

Have they fixed the rev hang when changing gears? I had a 2012 si and the rev hang was terrible.

no - thats by design

What about the Hyundai Elantra N? The N is more powerful but both FWD with MT6. There are some similarities (I’m shopping). Which is better?

While it's not a sedan, but still comparable, I would pick a mk8 GTI(base model), hands down over the Si. I've owned an Si, and several GTI's and while like think they're both great cars, I would pick the GTI for its superior drive train(especially with the dsg), better brakes, quieter cabin, and that Audi-like feeling of mass and sophistication. I do prefer the Civic's interior, and slightly better reliability, based on my experience.

Glad I bought the 10th generation SI Coupe that has 5 more horsepower, heated seats, dual climate control, foglights and adaptive dampers for MSRP of $24,300. Still less than 12,000 miles on it!

In Canada we get all those options standard lol except adaptive dampeners. The 11th Gen is 10x the car the 10th Gen was

*Canadian version. We get less features for more $ in the US

All i want to say is tye US got screwed over with the SI compared to the Canadian spec. Funny part is the Us spec was built in canada also.

this thing is such a screaming deal in Canada, I wanna move there

And the sadest thing is - we can't get it in EU :(

David, Some would say the Prius compares to the Si. 🤔

Nice but what about the Dealer mandatory $15,000 + "market adjustment" above the MSRP + Dealer junky addons like Nitrogen inflated tires and security decals?

There are "No Markup Honda Dealer" groups on Facebook plus spreadsheets within most Civic Groups online. Dealerships charge crazy prices because consumers are willing to pay it.

Is there still oil dilution problems with the 1.5?

I own this and a 2022 Lexus GX. Great car, but the paint orange is really atrocious in compared to any Toyota or German product I’ve owned.

Great car for sure. Honda needs to do a better job of sound insulation inside the cabin. All the Civics and Acura Integra are loud inside the cabin at highway speeds. I have a new Integra and it's the only thing that bothers me, it's loud inside the cabin.

No dealer is selling at MSRP, not worth it with the huge markup.

Define “affordable”.
