You should have saved more money and get the type r ,I have 2014 accord FBO,and a couple more month I'll pay it off and sell it ,and than put all that money as a down payment to the type r ,I have good credit 760
I own this car in white. Love it. Added TSP Stage 1 tune and the car absolutely rips. Helps get rid of the awful rev hang these cars are programmed with as well. Love it!!! Great review as always!!
The Si is a lot of car for the money. LED’s, moon roof, heated seats, lane watch, outside trunk access. Lots of modding potential. Great first car and daily
@@ericf5976 no you dont. Your an idiot if you do. I payed 24k out the door 1 month after it was released. Didnt haggle at all. Thats the price my dealer offered. Bartlesville oklahoma.
@Just think I gotchu. Honestly I never minded that Hondas was a short warranty, cause i can believe I won't need it. But VW hasn't earned that kinda trust with me. If they had kept their 6 year 72k bumper to bumper warranty, I'd be all over the GLI.
Your video is the reason I bought a Civic Si Sedan after researching several cars. I'm 55 years old and wanted a daily driver that is fun to drive. I love this car! Thanks so much for your reviews, they are very informative and fun to watch.
I would like to race my stock 2014 Civic si against a new 2020 Corolla hatchback with the 6 speed manual. Even though my car has more horsepower and torque, I think the light weight of the Toyota might give a good run.
Got the 2007 Honda Civic Si Sedan, best car purchase I have ever made. I change my oil twice a year, and the machine has never had any issues. I drive manual to work every day, doesn't skip a beat!
Just wanted to say this video made my decision even easier 4 months ago … Bought the exact same Si brand new in this video and couldn’t be happier. Honda power baby!
Hey man, just wanted to say thank you for your review on this car, for the past 6 months I’ve been trying to get my hands on a civic Si, I’m 20 years old and a few months ago i didn’t know how to drive a manual, i would watch your reviews and i taught myself how to drive a manual and i was finally able to buy my first Si, i got a blue 2019 Honda Civic Si sedan, just wanted to say thank you because you were a big part of the motivation to get my dream car !
By far my favorite video from Joe. This car is super intriguing might look into one over the summer. Great price point for the performance. Great work Joe your channel is awesome.
After watching this specific video over a year now back to back, I finally got myself a 2020 in Lunar Silver today & let me tell those who are considering, video does this car no justice. The torque is just unbelievable an it gets up & go but bare in mind be nice to the clutch or else you’ll have to change it sooner than expected. This review is what sold me on the Si 💯✅
I just got my 2018 sedan 5 days ago with 11,000 on it and all I can say is that it is an engineering marvel!! What really blows me away is the fuel economy. You don't get punished for having fun! Handling by the way is nothing short of magical. I could go on and on....
My mans was booking through the neighborhood! At one point he passed a 15 mph sign. He really showcased the handling on this thing. Great review all together.
@@te8768 The 1.5t won't last like the NA 2.0's, it just has to deal with temperatures and pressures that an NA engine doesn't. I'm sure these 1.5 Hondas will still live a good while, just won't be k20 long.
Buying this car very soon, by summer time, cant wait! my last car was a 1996 Honda Prelude VTEC which had over 265K miles and was still running strong!
Just picked my 2020 si sedan up yesterday. Wanted to go with type r but didn’t have the funds nor did I want to pay for the high insurance, but wow this car is still impressive for the money! Great review too Raiti!
Joe, how much time do you spend on each video liking our comments? Well, however much time you spend is greatly appreciated along with your content and quality of your videos. Keep it up buddy. Your so genuine.
Thank you for all of your car reviews! They are very informative and fun to watch. Recently purchased a 2020 civic si sedan (need the 4dr for a car seat), puts a smile on my face everytime I drive it. Hope your channel keeps growing!
Great reaction to the driving portion! I think everyone enjoys it when the little boy racer in you comes out! I had a '17 Si and traded it for a Type R, but admit bang for the buck this car goes a long way, especially with some basic mods and nothing crazy it can really be an even more sporty drive.
Love them Honda's and Subarus probably why I have one of each I had a Civic sport hatch upgraded to the Type R and I'm loving it my summer car and Subaru WRX for the winter I'm excited to see the 11th generation Civic and the next generation WRX and STI!
I have one of these and understand the mph in gears while in sport mode. You were gettin it. I love it. I have one of those as my daily and I love driving it.
Tried to find one, but settled for a Coupe instead. No sticks available, got a CVT. After 2.5 years and 58k miles, it's perfect. That droning thing, never bothered me. Gas mileage is 35 mpg from Day one. No problems whatsoever.
After comparing the SI with the Veloster N. I think the Veloster is a much better bang for my bucks. As much as I like sedans. I also love hot hatch's. 😏
"Undisclosed location" with the name of the settlement clearly visible in the background ;) :) :) Love the channel and all your reviews. Congrats on 200K subscribers!
@@RaitisRides fair enough keep the content coming 👌🏾 also if you guys could do a demonstration of the manual with adaptive cruise control that would be awesome
I normally never post comments on UA-cam but I just got to say this. I thought about getting an Acura RDX A Spec down the line but watching your enthusiasm in the Si is making that a tough decision for me. Great video and energy!
Raiti's Rides thank you sir!! Been waiting for the 2020 for new features mostly the Honda Sensing, shorter gear ratio, matte black rims and of course the other great aesthetics 👍🏼 Love the channel, keep up the great work and honest reviews!
Great video!!! I have a 2008 SI 4dr and am debating between a WRX, / STI, or a SI / Type R. I have two kids, 1 and 4 and I live in CO but luckily their mom drives them around in the Forrester which is super fun to drive in the snow. The SI does okay w/ snow tires. I have some time to figure it out, maybe 2021. I wish the outback or legacy wagon if they still make it had a manual transmission. I will not buy an automatic. Audi seems too expensive to fix so I hear. I loved my 3 and 5 series BMW but that's when I was single. Working on the BMW was nice though... Too many great choices. Love the detail in your video's, Great Job!!!
I just traded my 2012 2SS Camaro V8 for the 2020 Civic Si in the Pearl White...with only 6k Miles on it and I am NOT SORRY at all! If you have to have a Sedan .. This Car is a BLAST to Drive.. And I get to keep my Cool Mom Status.. lol Best Decision Ever...
Great review Joe!! The front end looks waaaay better but that chrome trim and HDMI exhaust are an eyesore. Like the interior, love the shifter, not a fan of the gauge display. I much prefer round analog gauges like in my Focus ST. Just my 2 cents. Oh and Honda has to do something about the rev hang. So annoying. Overall a fun little car. Good job brother! And congrats on 200k!!! Can't wait til you hit a million and beyond!!!
@@RaitisRides its just absolutely 100% un fricking neccessary. Look at other Sedans, Trucks, etc.... WHY!?!?!???!!?. I'm so upset!!!! 😡😡😡😡. Look a the Subaru WRX STI it has no pumped in sound.
Glad you mentioned the peddles. This thing is so hard to heel and toe. Not to mention the rev hang. Makes it a little difficult for me to be smooth. Hmmm. You seemed to have no problem, so maybe I need a driver upgrade.
You know it's a fun car to drive when the big Raiti's Rides Emblem covers the speedometer for most of the test drive. It's super easy to get into trouble driving one of these! Kia may do it cheaper with the Forte GT, But I feel like if you want something more out of a daily driver car without going up to a Veloster N / Type R / WRX / etc. , then this is probably the car for you.
That engine bay looks soooo clean! I could never see myself buying a brand new car but this...this I like. I would not mind one. Honda kinda found themselves again with this new SI. Much cleaner and not so over the top. Hopefully the next Type R is not so over the top looking either.
Got a white 2020 Si last Sept 2020. Some dude in M3 tried it on a quarter-mile but he got smoked. That's why I love this car. I still have the 96 with Recaro seats lol.
Good review. Nice that Honda still knows how to make a Si. Manual transmission and all. "It's more fun to drive a slow car fast that a fast car slow" - unknown This has usable handling and performance. A high horsepower car has potential you can't unlock on the streets. You need a track to really unleash its potential.
14:30; this video is rated "R". Driver's discretion is advised. I LOVE IT JOE! Now you got me rethinking about Honda over Mazda. Choices-choices-choices! Nice review.
I have a 2020 Si, and it’s the best decision I have ever made!
I am so glad she is treating you well!
Agreed, the car is amazing
Hate the rev hang though. Almost makes it impossible to do a smooth shift from 1st to 2nd. Other than that, love it!
You should have saved more money and get the type r ,I have 2014 accord FBO,and a couple more month I'll pay it off and sell it ,and than put all that money as a down payment to the type r ,I have good credit 760
Tousif24 you not lying man lol
This dude really knows how to make you feel even more proud of being a Civic Si Owner! 👌🏾
SI stands for sports injected, i thought it means Si or yes in Spanish
Should I buy it, Si!
You are freaking hilarious!
Please take my Money...Si
That’s funny 😄
It means dead/death in most Sino-Tibetan languages. I don’t want it as much as Frenchmen wouldn’t want Audi EV e-tron, which in French is feces.
Anyone else notice how he was cooking it going 70 in a 30 mph zone 😂😂 love it, no shits given
LOL
It's because of his skittle addiction
He always slows down when cars and people are around.
Yes, I noticed that too. I kept waiting for a mini van to come out of the driveways of one of those houses or businesses. Yikes!
Should see me in my evo 😂

@@user-pi6he7tb9n you can get a WRX for the same price or or little more.

Bought the 2019 SI almost 8 months ago and still enjoy driving it daily! The most fun and underrated car and got the black color too 😇
I traded in an all black 19' Si sedan & upgraded to a leftover 20' Si sedan that I just happened 2 find! It's an ABSOLUTE BLAST TO DRIVE!
My friend just bought a 2019 touring and it's so nice. Imo civics still cant be beat for the price
Canadian Cruisin you are so very right!
Picked mine last week. Even though it's an Si, Honda sensing is a pretty useful feature.
I just got this car 2 weeks ago a but mine is white and wow instant classic. I also have a 428i and I feel this is a better car than BMW.
Toyota fanboys are still trying to find a Corolla that out performs the Civic Si. 😖😖
I would like to race my stock 2014 Civic si against a new 2020 Corolla hatchback with the 6 speed manual. Even though my car has more horsepower and torque, I think the light weight of the Toyota might give a good run.
@@ericf5976 Disagree about the "just as reliable" part, but I will give you the rest.
J High the trd corolla 👀
Honda civic for me, though at the same time I love Toyota. (Not the corolla)
@@ericf5976
Would a true Toyota fanboy acknowledge the Elantra Sport/Kia Sport GT2 as superior to their beloved Corolla? I think not.
Its hilarious that the logo is strategically placed to keep Joe from incriminating himself by speeding lol. Cant blame him for having fun!
Got the 2007 Honda Civic Si Sedan, best car purchase I have ever made. I change my oil twice a year, and the machine has never had any issues. I drive manual to work every day, doesn't skip a beat!
5,000 - 6,000 miles once before winter and once before summer.
This is my nexr car for sure. Miss my 09 Si. Love the looks of that sedan.
You will love the power!
Just wanted to say this video made my decision even easier 4 months ago … Bought the exact same Si brand new in this video and couldn’t be happier. Honda power baby!

I''ve got a 2008 Civic Si, and I'm waiting for it to break down, so I can buy me a new Si. Might be a while though.
Yeah , see you in another 10 years . My hondas seem to never really break.
You might be waiting a while. I have a 2003 si hatch. 250K miles on it and it's still running strong. Hopefully the newer cars are as reliable.
Trade it in while it's still worth something! Or, just go do a test drive and see for yourself!

I had an '08 and an '11, both 8th Gen. Loved them both. The engine is just awesome.
It would be nice if they made a hatchback SI. It would make a nice poor man’s type R.
This is so very true!
No! The poor mans type r is the civic hatch sport. The si needs to stop being in the shadow of the type r. Si has been in America 10x longer!!
poor mans type R isnt cosmetic it would need the block from the FK8 to be a poor mans type R
Bought one today. Getting it on tuesday. Can't wait.
Buying this car very soon, by summer time, cant wait! my last car was a 1996 Honda Prelude VTEC which had over 265K miles and was still running strong!
72 in a 30, heck thats impressive. I do miss my RS

That engine bay looks soooo clean! I could never see myself buying a brand new car but this...this I like. I would not mind one. Honda kinda found themselves again with this new SI. Much cleaner and not so over the top. Hopefully the next Type R is not so over the top looking either.
I am so glad that I could share this one with you!
My favorite Honda sedan! Nice video Joe.
Got a white 2020 Si last Sept 2020. Some dude in M3 tried it on a quarter-mile but he got smoked. That's why I love this car. I still have the 96 with Recaro seats lol.
Congrats on your Si! I am so glad it is serving you well.
Good review. Nice that Honda still knows how to make a Si. Manual transmission and all.

This has usable handling and performance. A high horsepower car has potential you can't unlock on the streets. You need a track to really unleash its potential.
14:30; this video is rated "R". Driver's discretion is advised. I LOVE IT JOE! Now you got me rethinking about Honda over Mazda. Choices-choices-choices! Nice review.
I'd go Mazda
@@steve9377 it's tough on the brand choice. My Ex Wife has a 2017 Mazda6 and it's a nice sedan car.
Honda si? Or hatchback sport touring 2020? Which is better?
