As I was watching this, I can't help but remember the earliest versions of the Civic, particularly with the CVCC which, I believe, was a 1.5-liter motor producing something around 52 hp! As a young Navy guy at the time, I used to chuckle a bit whenever I saw one of these rolling around San Diego. We used to call them "pregnant roller skates.!" What an amazing evolution from Honda over the last 50 years!

My father had a new 1976 Honda Civic CVCC with the 2 speed semi automatic transmission. It had also had a manual choke. The car engine had Cylinder Head Gasket problems several times. The vehicle was sold in August 1980. It was great to drive in the snow living in Connecticut with front wheel drive. But it was not mechanically reliable. So that is why my mother sold the car.

Hey Joe, I really appreciate your thorough reviews, your humor, and especially watching you drive properly. Far too many car reviewers out there just don't know how to drive. I'm trying to get better and would love to see you put out a video on driving fundamentals including hand position, heel-toe downshifting, entry/exit of corners, etc. Knowing that you're a professional, I think folks would get a lot out of a video like that. Thanks for your good work!

I also think the regular silver Honda badges are perfect. No need for black or any other color, unless Honda starts making other color civics in the SI.

I always wanted a 10gen si but I just never found one at a decent price point. About 6 months ago I found an EX-T with the full HFP package and a new exhaust that rips so good. I'm making about 210 in horse power

Lori and Joe, thanks so much for the awesome “on throttle “ review of the new 11th gen Civic SI. My 1st new car was a 1989 Civic SI with a 5 sp manual and 108 HP. I drove that car for nearly 12 years, an traded it in still in good condition. Over the years I have owned or leased a 2006 and 2013 SI. Honda continues to make improvements in this car with each passing generation . I currently own a 10th gen Civic EX-T with cvt tranny. Looking forward to getting back into a manual tranny again. The new SI sounds like a great daily driver. Thank you both again for all your hard work!!!

I was waiting for your review- you give excellent descriptions of what it is like to drive the cars you review. I'm especially glad to see this review as it validates my decision made 2 weeks ago to put a deposit down on a Blazing Orange Pearl Si that's being built next week. Delivery in time for Christmas- the best present ever! I am even more excited to get my hands on it after seeing this review. Best thing is I'm buying it in Rochester, NY and driving it home to Seminole, FL in January. RT 15 through the hills of PA between Mansfield and Williamsport is pure driving pleasure and this car will rock! Did that same drive to FL in a 2019 500 HP Alfa Romeo Quadrifoglio and I expect the experience to be even more fun with a 6 spd. manual. It's not just about HP. Honda has a winner here. Also noticed today that a dyno test of a new Si shows Honda underrated the HP on the example the new owner bought by about 10%. (Maybe for racing purposes?/ sandbagging?) Great review Joe - camera work Lori!

The 86 will be more fun the 1.5t is just not an enjoyable powertrain in comparison to the old high revving civics. The new Si is being tested over 1.3 seconds slower to 60 than the 9th gens.

The best reviews make you want a test drive…Honda you better give Joe a ‘23 Integra with 3 pedals as soon as humanly possible. Cheers!

I'm actually planning to buy a Jetta GLI in the spring - after previously ruling out a 2022 WRX. This is almost a compelling alternative. I think the style of the Civic looks pretty good, though the front reminds me of a dolphin for some reason. It sounds like the power delivery and shifting is enjoyable. I really like the interior too with that long vent look. I do wish this made more power (I mean, my wife's base Tucson is only 13 HP lower), but the real deal breaker for me is the heated seats. That's one luxury I've gotten used to and really don't want to give up. I live in a colder climate so I use them 4 or 5 months out of the year.

@@Tigerex966 idk from where you got this. But the GTI interior is 100% better than the SI interior. The MPG is barely worse for the AMOUNT OF performance you get compared to the SI. The 2.0 ea888 engine is 100% more refined and reliable than the 1.5 in the civic as it's the 4th revision of the ea888 engine. Much higher cost of mods? bro you are so wrong with your information. The MK7 GTI/GLI are some of the CHEAPEST cars to mod. for 500$ you can get over 100HP and still KEEP your warranty. The civic SI, The WRX, the BRZ can only DREAM about getting that much power out of a car with such easy tunes. further, more for around 2k you can have your GTI/GLI running at 12.1 seconds. Do you realize how much money you need to spend on any of the cars you mentioned to give you what the GLI/GTI does? The GLI in 2019 I bought it for 24k, it came with 6 year warranty and for 26k my car is running 12.1 seconds and I can beat the cars that are WAY above my leauge such as M2, S4, TYPE R, ETC. Im sorry but the SI is just not it. Specially when it comes to preformance

Rims are spectacular 👌 😍✨

Loved it Raiti ❤️

No active dampers? No heated seats? Slower? More expensive? Yeah, no.

Between this car and the sonata n line. What do you think Raiti? It’s 290 hp and 311 torque. No diff of course.

Right back at you Nick!

Pretty Sweet! I totally agree with you black emblems would have been better. Great video and love the car.

I've owned a GTI and the Honda Si. The VW is austere and business-like. The plaid seats are quirky, but unique and I like them. But the Civic Si is the spot-on, perfect balance of cool interior, pleasing appointments, excellent handling, good speed. The Civic R takes it too far for my taste, as does the VW Type R.

The 2023 Si pricing in Canada is now on par with a GTI 40th that has way more power, sound (exhaust and audio), adaptive dampers…and a hatch.

Overall I think that the 2022 Civic Si is an excellent high performance compact car but perhaps I’ll wait next year to buy the 2023 Acura Integra, which in actuality will be the hatchback version of the Honda Civic Si, which is what I’ve always wanted instead of the sedan.

I appreciate you taking the time to say that sam!

Loved the clean, restrained styling, evoking, to me, the EM1 and FA5 styles being blended, Hated the egg-shaped design and style of the 10th. I hope Honda sticks with this design direction. I too am still amazed that Honda does not include a factory alloy dead pedal in the Si and Type R. On my 2010 FA5, was one of the first accessories I bought. I think "Strut King" makes nice aftermarket pedals for this solution.

HI Joe I haven't watched the whole video yet but can you speak to the Canadian Si versus US and why they seem to get more features for less money. Honda Pro Jason recently talked about this.

@@RaitisRides Probably because Honda removed features the 10th gen Si already had, (fogs, heated seats, adaptive dampers) and raised the price. Not sure the rev matching system was worth it. Especially because it's more fun to do your own anyway. I know they haven't released Elantra N pricing yet, but it offers alot more than this Si, and might only be like $4K more. That would almost be a no brainer imo.

@@RaitisRides More for the money doesn't always equate to reliability long-term however. The Hyundai N model's are equipped with some really complex electronic systems, that makes me question their reliability, in comparison to the much more simpler Honda Performance models. At least they do have that 10yr/100,000 powertrain warranty though. Just in case it's needed.

Even though there different class of cars, I think this will steal sales from the Subaru BRZ. This is a really nice fun and practical car.

Joe, what’s your opinion between the 10th gen Type R and what the new Type R will be? P.S. I agree with what you said about people going to change the emblem to a Type R badge. They don’t need to make it something it’s not. That’s what we like to call RICERS lol

Can someone help me with the explanation of what is happening when you come to a full stop? The engine kicks back up. Is this a new technology for the sport model? Is it explained in this video or somewhere else? Thank you.
