Best bang for the buck at $24,000 not a better deal out there....good combination of power and mpg, even when I flog it I get 38mpg!!! Yeah, they could have made it faster but the mpg would suffer, I think it's the PERFECT combination! I bought a new 18 last month...Agean Blue.
I have a 2017 EXT in cosmic blue metallic and I am absolutely completely and totally in love with this car!! When my warranty is up I'm going to do the Hondata stage one tune😁
Just bought this car today. Love it. Here's to slavin away dem hours to pay if off while praying it doesn't get stolen lol I don't mind that it's a bit slower than my old Jetta V6. For me it's the style, comfort and handling that won me over. If I wanted insane speeds id have just kept my crotch rocket.
I love everything about it, the gas milage is very suprising. The only thing i hate is volume on the screen. other than that i love it, time to start adding to it 😁😁
Great review. Telling it like it is :) It's not a sports car but rather sporty and easy to live with daily driver. I got a reg civic 2006 and I swear it just gets better with age. The throttle response is absolutely perfect. It feels like a sports car with less power is all. I chirp the tires more often now because I am becoming more in tune. Very easy to drive fast. Be careful because it does want to run. Too easy to hit 80 MPH. Use the cruise control LOL The SI is my next car. I want a sportier car but the SI is probably my best bet as much as I hate it to be LOL
I always dream about having the 8th gen coupe and thanks god i work hard on it. Now i dont know why i want this. The color. New “si” , turbo, more stable running on highways better than the 8thgen i guess. Hope having one
I love the way he compared it to the Focus & Fiesta ST’s, witch are the best handling front wheel drive Cars out there, I have a 2014 Fiesta ST and it’s like a Go-Kart, I’m so disappointed that Ford isn’t bringing the ST line up over from Europe for 2018, makes no sense.
Great review. However, I think that Honda made a big mistake by not offering an Si version of the currently available hatchback model or a detuned engine version of the engine in the Type R.
They can't keep it within 25K if they have type R engine. As for body type, it is about where the car is made..Europe, vs North America. If you think about all the stuff this car does have...Its pretty freaking much for that price.
I've been in the market for a 2018 Honda Civic si and was wondering what type of fuel you put in it. I know the owner's manual states that the car should receive premium, but can it take regular? Furthermore, I think the car has a knock sensor that changes the ignition timing caused by the difference in the fuel quality. Still, I would like to eliminate knocking altogether to preserve the engine.
From what I have researched: basically you should always put premium especially if you are going to be driving it anywhere near red line. Drive it like a grandma and you can get away with 87 but long term it might not work out
LMFAO the end of days for Vtec. That’s such a stupid saying Vtec is a powerful technology that can still smoke most turbo cars. And the iconic high revving rpm pound for pound I think would smoke a modern SI anyday. Japanese engineering is a lot more superb than American cars
late reply but I have one and the seat goes very very low, my BF is 6ft and with the seat all the way low he still has about 8 inches until his head touches the ceiling
I have the 2018 LX Coupe and if I’m sitting up normally, my head is like 1-2 inches away from the roof. I’m 6’1 1/2. Love the car though. Definitely wouldn’t fit in the back seat however.
Honda keeping the Si manual makes me happy. I love that green and black scheme, now if only they'd done something different with the stock exhaust other than that USB port design. I guess they figured most enthusiasts would switch out for catless or something.
Actually thinking about trading my BRZ in for a Civic SI. The only thing is my wife does not want 2 manual transmission vehicles :( Our other car is a 2016 WRX ( manual, obviously ). I am so torn on what to do
Idk how someone can say this was a good review like honestly it was trash 1. Learn how to drive this is a “SI” we wanna see it tear up. 2. Just because Honda designed it to be a cheaper sports car doesn’t mean it doesn’t have potential. 3. If you own a si chances are oh are going to modify so you do have more options then just the tires. 4. Where were the specs this is a sporty car where’s the 0-60 times and stuff. 5. You didn’t even mention the fuel cut out at 57 mph in second gear. Stuff like that come on man.
AJ Beats 2 it’s Irvine dude. Cops have nothing to do but give tickets. Obviously you’ve seen many reviews on the same car this is just from his perspective
My turbo 8th gen si puts this to shame.. my k20 is waaaaaaay better than this piss ant 1.5L.. No sorry Honda made a mistake with this si model. They made mistakes with the type r as well.. being a 4 door only and has a manual transmission with lock out/grind issues. Meh
Wondering what your reliability is like on that engine with after market parts and turbo strapped on it? Are you going to get the great gas mileage and the same reliability that the 1.5 is going to get? There is much more than building a car than pushing as much power as you possibly can out of the engine. Can't stand you ricer fugs who care nothing about any of the other important statistics that go into building a car...all you get with you brain dead morons is "Muhhh honda is SOOOO much faster". Face / Palm. For the record, I owned a Civic SI with the K20 in it and while I feel it was a decent engine, id much rather have this new generation.
nah, this version is better as an all-rounder. You can get 35-40 mpg. Bolt-ons + hondata should be close to 100hp increase which you can switch 75ish of it off with the sport mode and still get practical daily driver experince. The lsd is this car is better, adaptive damper system and more room for tuning. This car is actually built for a turbo and getting 400hp out of this thing wouldn't be a surprised with minimal tuning. this car is so much more than the motor, just like the type r from the 90s is so much than its engine. The total package on the 10th gen is as close to perfect as you can get.
Best bang for the buck at $24,000 not a better deal out there....good combination of power and mpg, even when I flog it I get 38mpg!!!
Yeah, they could have made it faster but the mpg would suffer, I think it's the PERFECT combination!
I bought a new 18 last month...Agean Blue.
Agean blue looks gorgeous on the this vehicle. How is it holding up btw? I've been thinking of purchasing one myself
Subaru BRZ, Nissan 370z, Infiniti g37s, genesis coupe...

@@bronsplan2683 not everyone can daily a rwd car
@@jib2442 Only non-retards can daily a RWD.
The coupe looks much better than the 4dr, and oh the stick looks so cool!
I wish this was in Europe, shame it doesn't appeal to the market there
not a fan of the rear a bit too bubbly but aside from that I do like it
@@luisishere987the 8th gen coupe look way worse n bubbly bro😂 haha
@@keepu5171 yeah not a fan of the bubbly rear but I do prefer it over the sedan
Someone recently ran into my 08 Si and it had to be totaled out. I ended up getting this exact car which doesn't disappoint in any way.

am the only one who noticed the rims not spinning while the car is running 😂😂😂😂😂😂? at 5:20-5:40
That was actually a pretty cool shutter sync effect.
Ooooh Slimer Green Coupe, you will be mine. Oh yes. You will be mine.
I have bought this car last night !!! It’s fast, fun to drive and sexy! 100%
Got mine in the dark metallic grey. Love it.
It's for kids
jay czyzyk then why are you here? Go get yourself a Buick or Avalon gramps.
UltraInstinct An Avalon 😂😂😂
I'm loving that green. Eff all haters
conceptcs FU
I just got one in silver this past Saturday. It’s nice I like it.
same
@@35geovannisilver is so boring though. Cool name btw
just bought my own, so epic!!!
How has it been so far? Pros and cons?
I love everything about it, the gas milage is very suprising. The only thing i hate is volume on the screen. other than that i love it, time to start adding to it 😁😁
Andrea Velez 2 years later, what have you done to it?
Perfect just the way it is!
Getting my first car and am looking forward to get an si

I love it.. Green or whatever Color!
It. Would be great to have an Si fit!!!
Wish they made the sedan look like the coupe in the rear. Hate the huge style pieces on the rear of the sedan. Coupe looks great.
I always dream about having the 8th gen coupe and thanks god i work hard on it. Now i dont know why i want this. The color. New “si” , turbo, more stable running on highways better than the 8thgen i guess. Hope having one
Im fairly certain the engine name is the L15B7, not the "ap2"
I used to own a s2000 and that is literally I could think about. Never heard this engine labeled the AP2.
is this car good for winter time?
Great review brotha

This year 2017 is the only year that comes green? Theres no civic si 2018+ this color green?
Those Goodyear’s f1’s are amazing tires.
el cupe esta en todo
Hola .
Cuál es tu estatura? Para saber si quepo dentro del auto, por la altura del techo
6:25 I wouldn't buy this car if it were for kids to be honest, the hatchback is much more suitable for this.
Great review. However, I think that Honda made a big mistake by not offering an Si version of the currently available hatchback model or a detuned engine version of the engine in the Type R.
shephrd look up the fk8g3 on Google. Said to be the possible cheaper type r in 2018.
Get the Accord same engine as the type R.
They can't keep it within 25K if they have type R engine. As for body type, it is about where the car is made..Europe, vs North America. If you think about all the stuff this car does have...Its pretty freaking much for that price.

type r is turbo vtec
Why doesn’t the 2018 Honda civic si have lime green as a color? Ima have to go with red, im also getting the Honda factory performance package😎
Makes me want to learn stick... and spend a ton of money. (for me it is, but I get that it's still on the low end of things)
Praising the shifter when the clutch and the throttle lag are garbage is obtuse.
The shiftING sucks.
I love your sunglasses!
no one ever mentions headroom for tall drivers?..............
late reply but I have one and the seat goes very very low, my BF is 6ft and with the seat all the way low he still has about 8 inches until his head touches the ceiling

Bu araç kaç HP gucunde.
Wait... Hooniverse?
is
saw this exact color SI on the street other day. I just hate those tail lights everything else is nice
Great car with mny flawes high shifter loe hp very brittle
Honda keeping the Si manual makes me happy. I love that green and black scheme, now if only they'd done something different with the stock exhaust other than that USB port design. I guess they figured most enthusiasts would switch out for catless or something.
This or BRZ/Toyota 86?
pedro fernandez if they threw a 1.8 turbo with like 230hp in the 86/brz they would be my pick
I drive wrx today and would trade for my FG2 if that were reasonable. Hondas are well built, and fwd is not bad for average drivers.

カッコいいーーー
So hes excited about a car that makes turns?
I hate those 2 cheese graters in the rear side.
👍👍
205 hp? Wack should have been at least 250hp with vtec turbo
No one will buy the Type R if that happened.
310 with vtec turbo... this one is just turbo. buy type R if you want both.
Ktuner..
Fix the rev hang and bring back a volume knob and Im on board. Otherwise I will pass.
Nice car, however this guy doesn't know how to do review.
inexpensive 😂😂
