2014-2015 was the 9th gen model refresh. Honda is famous for doing a half model run refresh on the Civics. 2012-2013 9th gen model years are known for looking to much like a stock baseline civics and yes, the "ugly ducklings"

2015 the best Si by far. Looks good, easy to use, affordable, reliable fun. I tried the new one and it’s certainly nice and more refined, but the turbo engine of the 10th gen can’t rev out like the previous n/a engines and it’s just not the experience I think most people are looking for in the Si.

But this is no ordinary car when it comes to racing, and I mean that entirely. I’ve simply glided around corners, the high end rev in the i-vtec band, along with the torque of the engine, and when you have a goof driver like myself behind the wheel controlling all of it at the same time, this thing pushes the damn curves. I also have some chassis rigidity, coilovers, stiffer rear control arms, and a thicker rear sway bar from progress. Let me tell you man, i dust absolutely every car i come across, no joke.

What has fascinated me Joe, right from the start with your channel is that you review cars that I would never give a second look at. Having said that, I appreciate just about anything on four wheels as well as two wheels and have had more than just a few of each in my life, but sometimes if ain't broke, I don't try and fix it. In other words, I never had access to your mind expanding "boost" and so I couldn't really get much further than Corvette and oh boy, I'm going to regret this . . . . . . yes, Mustang as well. lol I also find it interesting that not all that long ago a "naturally aspirated" vehicle was one that was not fuel injected, it was carbeurated.

What’s up, nice work btw Raiti. I own an 8th gen 2006 Honda Civic Si sedan in Galaxy Grey metallic. I still drive it as my daily driver and as of 3-23-2019, he has 227,908 miles! Original engine, transmission, never have had any problems besides regular maintenance. Never once has any dashboard warning light come on, with the exception of the TPMS light which came on a total of 4 times in the light winters here in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL. VTEC still kicks at about 5,800 rpm until redline all while just as silent at idle from the day I bought him. If you follow the Honda manual maintenance minder system and do all the maintenance when told on the dashboard, these cars will run forever. Just to throw this in too, I’ve done almost 228k miles in 13 years and I have never used synthetic oil and my oil is changed between 7k-8k miles. To this day, the dealer always uses conventional 5w30 oil for $24.95+tax/disposal. Every few months, I get coupons for $19.95. The manual says you can use it, but they don’t require nor recommend it.

Hands down I prefer the new 10th gen Civic and the new generation of turbo charged engines. Honda has done the right thing moving on with the times and introducing usable torque. Light weight, fast yet economical, affordable. The 10th gen chassis is light years ahead of the 9th. Mission accomplished Honda with furthering Si heritage to the future VTEC or not. The k24 is wonderful and will always remain so but I'm on board with the new L series.

Loved the review Joe! Please also review an 8th gen whenever possible.

With a proper turbo or supercharger kit, these 9th gen k24 motors can easily make 300hp on stock internals. I still recommend rebuilding the engine with forged internals just to be on the safe side. I believe kraftwerk still make supercharged kits for these engines, but u will need to upgrade the clutch.

I always dreamed of a Civic SI when I was a teenager. Last year I had some money saved and my car was starting to give me more troubles than I could handle, I didn't want to get in debt for 5-6 years at a dealership so I decided to buy a Civic SI cash but the only one I could afford was a salvage one. I did my research and made sure there was no front damage, so far only put new tires a few oil changes and change the thermostat, very minimum spending after initial purchased. But I don't feel is that fast, I seen a couple reviews and the engine just doesn't sound or feel like the videos.

Cabin has mysterious rattles. Other than that it’s great

When he was talking about not worrying about horsepower and 0-60 and just enjoying the drive I felt that in my heart. Nothing wrong with having a SI and just enjoy driving regular.

Of course you can. Just turbo it. Forget about waiting for VTEC to kick in, yo.... 0.25 seconds and the turbo is spooled and the engine is pulling at 1800 RPM in any gear. I pull out to pass cars going uphill in 6th gear.

I really like what he did with the car - too many people give the Si's #Stancelife and ruin a perfectly beautiful car. Adding the black on the grille was a great idea, very similar what I did to my 10th gen white sedan - Black and white is a great color scheme, not to flashy and just clean enough! My Si is the STRMTRPR as well!

The 9th gen is the last true Vtec it's that simple since the 10th is just a turbo. Take the k24 and switch the cam off the k20 and u got the best of both worlds. The 8k rev the power and the torque of 9th gen all natural aspirated 2.4L.

Another spot on review nothing like the sound of a all motor engine b-series or k-series or nissans QR25 Or GM’s ecotec fords zetec Toyota’s 2zz to name a few manufacturers have given up on intriguing vehicles and Honda was the last hold out.

Awesome review!! I had a 2009 Civic Si Sedan(black) with only 78K miles on it. Got rear ended in February and it was totaled. I'm still doing PT as a result ugh. :-( So tomorrow I'm buying a 2015 Civic Si coupe with 49K and clean car fax. Had Honda mechanic inspect and it's in excellent shape! Test drove it twice. Love it. Same white color as the one you reviewed. Picking it up at lunch tomorrow. I'm hooked on the VTech Si's. The 2 tier dash is the best layout ever(reason why I won't buy a 2017-2019 Si). Can't wait to pick up my Si tomorrow. Your review really convinced me to get this series next. Love the body style of the coupe! ;-)

I can confirm Honda is in the butter knife game

I like this generation and all but I love the 8300 rev limit in my rsx-s. It's not all that fast but it's so much fun revving like that, I think honda really made the k24 less fun with less revs even with more power. Its not all about power

I went from a 05 rsx S , to one of these 2014 civic si coupe , tbh I do miss the rsx S but I like the si way better , especially being a dad I have a middle back seat , I don’t have to rev that k20 all the way about 5k rpm to get a decent speed , and the interior is way more comfortable and way more tech , to me it feels like a refined rsx , to rev it like the type s can be done with a oil pump swap , and head swap

13-15' years look so much better than my 12' Si. I cheaped out and got a 12' for cheap that doesn't burn oil. Still like it better than my 8th gen Si after 2 years.

I scored it. It’s nice. Nice handling from city driving to 140km on the highway. I can feel a difference between 91 and 93 so I run 93. I thought it would be faster but it’s not that far off from what I expected. However the gas mileage is way worse than what I originally thought. As long as it’s not as horrible on gas as my 2000 xj is I’ll be saving money and has ahaha
