Really surprised by the way the new Civic Si drives. The old one felt like a slightly faster Civic Sport trim, while this one feels more like a Type R minus 100 HP. Gets us pumped for the reveal and drive of the next-generation Civic Type R next year!

I’ve watched a lot of SI reviews. This was probably the best overall one so far. Very to the point and informative. Thank you.

So we lost several features for no apparent reason while also increasing the price significantly. No heated seats, no dual-zone climate control, no fog lights. Sure it has more performance-oriented upgrades, which is nice, but you're not supposed to take away basic features from a car from generation to generation, especially given how amazing the competition is right now (looking at you Koreans).

Coming from a coyote mustang, you think I’d miss the power. But the handling, gas mileage, and practicality are amazing. Plus it’s a blast to drive. Flawless manual transmission!

You always do a really in-depth review. Thanks

Great review. So far you are the only one who showed no spare tire and Honda recommends premium fuel.

This has been the best video I have watched so far on the si 👍

It’s cool that they’re bringing back old colors. Blaze Orange Metallic I believe was first seen on the 05-06 Acura RSX.

I think what isn’t being talked about as much is the fact that this is larger and still weighs under 3k pounds which is really impressive for a 4 door sedan in this day and age I have a feeling the weight combined with the better torque curve this feels much better than the last SI

Very nice, comprehensive review. Thank you.

30 years ago I had a 1986 Honda Civic Si, starting my love affair for Honda. I've had 7 Honda automobiles over the years. Sadly, for me the cars just don't seem to have "it" anymore. I was very interested in the previous Civic Si and test drove it. I returned to the dealer immediately asking them if the car was broken? The engine would rev hang. The salesman said no, that's "normal" and for emission purposes. OK, here are the keys, I'm not interested. I bought a 2017 Accord Coupe V6 instead and this will be the last Honda I ever buy. I daily a 2012 and 2017 Accord Coupe V6. The 2012 at my Az home and the 2017 for Chicagoland. After the quality issues I've endured with these cars in order to have cars I find attractive, Honda sold me a Lexus for my next car. Love affairs, sadly, tend to come to an end in disappointment.

My first was 85 CRX and then I bought 1998 DX Hatch and 2000 EX-G. Even RSX Type-S couldn't compete with the dynamics of my tuned 98 DX Hatch, so I vacationed from Honda until my current 2017 LX Sedan 6MT. No reviews on this model (and still no reviews) but I was pleasantly surprised. I was hoping that Honda would play on this base model, since it checks all the boxes. 11th Type-R is a potential, but it's not going to be as fun as my current Sedan on the streets (helps when you can be a hooligan, but still burn like an economy car). Like you, this may be my last Honda.

I love it... once you turn up the boost a few psi it will be even better. Beautiful car!!

I thought the new design wasn't going to be good for them, but I actually like this new gen. Great comparison points and review as always! I wonder if they'll eventually get a hybrid or AWD version with this gen.

Great review, Sofyan! But no heated seats!? That’ll be a deal killer for many of us who drive these though winters.

Love the sound! Can’t wait to see the Type R.

Love your review as always...Next time at the stop sign where you found the straight road, make your first right onto Little Sycamore Canyon (I believe you were on Little Sycamore Canyon for a little bit from what I saw) which turns into Yerba Buena Road, its even better IMO than Westlake Blvd, (23) or Decker Canyon:)

Only the Civic Touring Sedan/Sport Touring Hatchback and Canada Spec Si have the LED foglights. All other trim models have those black filler covers that look like dark tinted lenses. There is supposed to be an OEM accessory foglight kit available, but it may be in such short inventory/production supply, so they may not be available for a while.

I’m curious what your thoughts are on driving dynamics in this, in comparison to the new Gti s (6-speed). I take a new si for a test drive soon. Anyway, great review!

For what it's worth, you can remote start a manual vehicle. It is a bit of a process (clutch bypass, and reservation when shutting off) and most wouldn't opt for it anyway. But just thought I'd mention it.

I wish there wasn't a shortage and dealerships weren't tacking on prices or else I would buy this 100% but a Si for what 35k plus. No way.

The Civic SI is definitely a hot car and a great value for the performance that Honda has put together!
