He forgot to mention one great feature, that if your car battery ever goes dead you can always run an HDMI cable from the engIne to the rear exhaust pipe and start your car that way.

I think what really surprises me about this car is the mpg.. talk about decent power, fairly good looks, while still having great mpg.

0-60 time on the 10th gen Si could easily hit low 6s except for the fact that fuel cut off happens in 2nd gear at like 57mph or something so you need to shift to thirdto hit 60.

Got black one last week , end of generation, pretty good price, CAD 30000+ tax, happy with it so far, good infotainment for me, good handling ( rag hang is true tho) this is my first manual car, can’t complain really

Good changes overall, looks great in the front. Not so much from the rear. Guess we will have to wait for 11th gen to get rid of the tacky rear vents. Not a fan of the black wheels, they looked better before.

Civic Si take regular or premium gas?

Does that require premium fuel? 6.6 0-60mph? My Impala LT is faster 0-60. I know it’s not all about 0-60 but I would of thought 5 second range.

@Ironfangzu

4 жыл бұрын

Premium fuel is recommended but not mandatory. If you want to fly around and get the max acceleration out of your SI, put premium fuel in. If you are commuting to work and driving somewhat like a normal person, they say you can put regular gas in. And no, the SI could never do 0-60 in 5 seconds unless you did some aftermarket tuning. If you did that, under 5 seconds is easily reachable.

is the real exhaust tip being hidden by that ugly af looking hdmi cover? also, those taillights are horrendous.

I love to hear Matt’s honest and knowledgeable thoughts. Thank you!

The difference between the sport hatch and Si in terms of quarter mile and 0-60 are not even a full second so which body design do you prefer? Lol

Great car, stock suspension is perfect for the street, brakes are strong, transmission shifts crisp and smooth. The engine in stock form is frustrating, insane fuel economy, quiet, probably bulletproof, but it has the character of a dishwasher and some serious rev hang that dulls the driving experience. I'm sure with some tuning/exhaust and an upgraded clutch it would be much better. Overall it's much better than the numbers would suggest and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a refined/fun/economical/reliable daily driver.

It's still a fantastic car, just needs a little tuning to be a great one. Couldn't help but notice the ST badge, I've had a Focus and Fiesta ST, great to drive but got rid of them after 2-3 years because the paint was bubbling on the door jam seams, hood, and hatch because it was RUSTING UNDERNEATH. Honda build quality is light years ahead of Ford and their resale value reflects that.

Honda sent me the owners manual pages for this and it says "when CMBS activates, the engine may stop automatically. Start the engine by normal operation if the engine stops". So I don't think there's any clutch disengagement, and it just either stalls itself or it turns the engine off right before a stall. Again, this is assuming the driver is doing nothing and the car is trying to minimize a crash that is certain to happen.
