Lol had to drive my buddies last night, ( I haven’t driven stick In over a year). Also was definitely not used to a stage 4 clutch, but my god once I got it it was smooth and crazy how much she gets up and goes with whatever tune he was running, also Skunk2 exhaust is rowdy af so many clutch In moments in the city.
The moment you change out those 29lbs rims with anything sub 20lbs it feels like you gain 30-40hp no joke. Those stock rims really hold it back and it’s a big reason why the 2013 is actually faster when tested side by side
@@DMCarReviewsno hate, love the car but he’s right, it’ll be better for the car and much safer when driving fast if you get it down correctly, either reverse match alone or heel toe especially.
Owned mine for 18 months. 220000km (+120000miles) Driven 25000km so far very reliable, changed the oil frequently 5-7000km (Canada). Not the fastest, but super fun to rev to 7000rpm, very good in the corners with good summer tires and with the LSD differential. Also pulls very well at highway speeds but revs are too high (+3000rpm) for long trips. Very spacious in the back seat. Upkeep of the red seats are a bit too much especially with kids. Super fun to shift gears and to learn how to heel toe and rev match. Clutch is super easy...maybe too easy for me. Overall its a great car and the best I've owned. Also more fun than a WRX. Overall best ⁰pp
Very good choice what ever you do do not choose a Audi or bmw for your first car I’m 17 chose a Audi as my first car let’s just say it wasn’t the smartest choice but I don’t regret it
I have the 2020 Si Coupe. I love it. Really fun and really fast. Only thing I don't like about it is the rev hang. Other than that though, I'm really enjoying it. I love flooring it in mine when I'm in first and second gear. I love the power the car has. Great video.
Hey that’s the same year SI I had. I ended up selling it for a 9th gen, best decision I could have made. Absolutely love the instant power and the most reliable engine is nice to know!
These cars have an obscene amount of torque. 1st gear in this car has more torque at the wheels than a V8 Crown Vic in 1st gear. if you factor in the torque converter they actually tie.
@DMCarReviews the key is "at the wheels". That 170 lb ft is combined with some seriously short gearing which of course multiplies the torque. It has much less horsepower so that torque doesn't last as long before you need to shift which results in worse acceleration overall, but the drivability and satisfaction of this powertrain is incredible.
hi, its a nice drive test video for the civic, just wanted to ask, bc im in the process to get a 2013. Correct me if im wrong, but you switch from 1st pole to 2nd one around the 20mph, then 2nd pole to 3rd pole in the treshold of 45~50mph is that right? Im a bit surprised of how long are the pole gear ratios in comparation with a normal suv like the eco sport, ive been driving one and i needed to switch to 3rd pole around 18~20 mph, a shorter ratio, i assume it is normal bc of hp difference between both, but what you think?
Owned one for 3 years. At 100,000 the stock clutch is known for eating itself under normal driving conditions, the rear brakes require extensive maintenance, the tranny is great but the clutch delay system is sub par at best. The engine is peppy and fun but in the grand scheme of things a mini van will take you more likely than not regardless of your skills as a driver. It’s a fun daily but doesn’t have much wow in the performance car category. Save your comments about my driving skills. I’ve raced bikes and cars on track extensively and I can hold my own quite well.

People found out this is the best gen for the SI’s and they’re going up in price like crazy. Cost the same to buy a 10th gen unfortunately.
Real talk
So sweet, I’ve been wanting to take one of these for a spin. This is my favorite gen for sure.
For sure, bro! I still want to try the newest gen, and see how they compare. The sound of the 2014 is going to be better for sure.

@@DMCarReviewsyeah I sold my 10th gen to get one of these. 100% the best generation out right now.
I wanted to get one as a daily driver but damn these cars are going for like $18k plus for over 130k miles and like $25k for ones with 90k miles smh
This one was like 12-13K?
@@DMCarReviews from a private party it's like $13-$18k but from a dealer it's marked up by a lot
It's a real struggle man me too
I just picked one up for 11k 110k miles super healthy
i just picked my 2014 si sedan had 77k and got it for 19,000

Interesting!
Best car ever. One day I’ll have one of those😊
It's a nice car for sure!
I’m getting a civic si for my first car
Good first car for sure!
@@DMCarReviews would a '14 si be good for a first car?
@@zoob4371 Yes, I also plan to get one around the same year as well when I have enough saved up
I hope you improved driving manual since this video. I was cringing the entire time. This is why I can’t buy used.
What is wrong with my manual driving lol? Care to specify?
@@DMCarReviewsneed to learn how to rev match properly
@@DMCarReviewsno hate, love the car but he’s right, it’ll be better for the car and much safer when driving fast if you get it down correctly, either reverse match alone or heel toe especially.

how is the seat comfort for you over the past 28 months now?
I love the Civic Si,s I want one as my first car am 16 years old now
It's a great car. Can't believe they only cost 22k-23k brand new, back in 2014.
@@DMCarReviews OH yea am getting the newer one

23000 2 much for this car maybe 16 the most
23,000 was the msrp in 2014. It's selling for like 12k I think?
I just picked up the orange Si from Pro Auto not too long after this vid ;)
Really glad to hear that! Enjoy your new car💪
boss i’m getting the same one how do you like it
Lets take a look at the trunk, plate is a fucked up lol
i really love the visibility that looks quite far between driver and speedometer dashboard.. Same goes to 8th gens civic👍🔥
Yes!
this dude driving in the opposite lane is giving me anxiety 😆
It's called a trajectory for taking turns quicker.

It depends on your skill and mods. I have seen these Si's literally fly. They handle very well too.

Saving up for one 🤙
Hopefully you are able to get it soon.
Update? Because I'm also saving up for one!
@@serpentblaze6702update ? i’m gonna start saving for one
How did u change the color of the speedometer and above it as well?
It was already like that. I did not touch it.
9th gen SI’s only have the red speed and odomoter
You can only change the radio face color
i want one so bad
They are surprisingly easy to find for a reasonable price.
