1. Disabled Adaptive Sound Control (fake sound)
2. PRL Cobra Cold Air Intake
3. Honda OEM TYPE R emblems

I feel like I made the right decision to trade in my two cars for this new si. I was hesitant on buying a new si for the first few years they were available, but the 2020 has so much technology and overall value for the money... its INSANE. I cannot believe what you get for the one si trim level. It is impressive.

Didn’t know justin timberlake started reviewing hondas
Luis Angeles if Justin and robin thick had a baby 👀
Lol
He's gonna take it on down to liquor ville
It's really weird cuz I have buddy I met at my bar that looks just like him and even talks/acts identical, its ,honestly kinda creepy how similar loe
The coupe looks so much better than the other models
I agree!
alphatrion100 and so does he 🙄🤔🤣
Yeah the accord also
No doubt about it, the SI should be bought in a coupe version, especially considering the capabilities of the car. If you need a four door get the EX/leather and CVT.
@@Camhill182 looks identical to my 2016 civic coupe...lol so i mean i dont really get your point. 4 year difference and very minimal changes. Which imo isnt bad because its nice
This is very good and detailed commentary car review, you should consider reviewing other cars.
John Lazar thank you very much. I thought I could have done way better, but I appreciate the kind words
Agreed
Glad you include the break in information. Most people don't know it. I have a 2017 SI and love it. My wife just bought a new sport and she loves hers too.....albeit its a CVT. Yuck.
Reading through the comments, and I realize why everyone liked this review. You’re not screaming and talking all loud and salesman like... Thank you.
Damn! This is when I started watching you! Cool to see this video coming back up in my recommended videos.
My first time seeing a video of yours, and I really like this. I think you did well discussing the car and all it offers-- kudos to you for mentioning the break in period and taking care of the car btw. I appreciate your down to earth style for giving your impressions, thanks for sharing.
Wow, thank you very much. That means a lot
VTEC "Kicks in", Turbos "Spool Up". :) Excellent review. Thanks for sharing.
This was a very good, honest, detailed review. I have a 2018 Si coupe in the Rallye Red and love it! I adopted a similar brake in process with the addition of not using sport mode for the first 1000 miles. That first drive in sport mode after the brake in period was awesome. Before the Si I had a 2017 touring for a year.The fact that they have added all of the touring upgrades in the 2020 version of the Si is awesome.
Hell yea brother. I just dont really like Honda sensing
Cameron Hill to be honest, I was new to Honda ownership in 2017. That civic touring In the Burgundy night Pearl was so nice. Then I did some digging and found the Si so I waited for a year and swapped into the coupe. As nice as Honda sensing is, it quickly became a novelty. The real driving experience is only in a manual for real.
You have the potential to be the best car
reviewer on UA-cam. Keep it up.
Randomly clicked on this and realized you're doing pulls on the same street I take cars on to test them out. 😂
Solid spot to send it.
You work at folsom honda?
The dealership got tire dressing overspray on the wheels. Also, if you want easy extra power try Hondata Flashpro or K-Tuner. They'll get rid of most of the rev hang, too.
Honda Civic? ✔️
Sport injected? ✔️
Manual 6 speed? ✔️
Turbo-charged non vtec? Eh...✔️
Real Volume knob? ✔️✔️✔️
E-brake handle!? Where is it? Aw hell nah!!! ❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌
Nice ride though! 😎👍
Got my brand new black 2019 Civic EX coupe in early November because my first car finally gave in, didn’t do much research except relying on my eyes & taste for the right car. Still have the plastic wrap on the screen + the airbag paper to keep that new feel. Also agree that I have to do an arm stretch to get to my seatbelt.
The coupe design is so beautiful😍 Also planning on ceramics, tint. Maybe wait a bit on the exhaust. And learn more car terms.
The perfect Si: the Coupe with this colour! I've never driven one, but I heard good things about it. I wanted something smaller and more practical, so I got a GTI in the same colour.
Love your videos man! I love the new changes over the 2019 like mine, I'm kind of for those in cabin fake engine sounds. I like it
Congratulations man. I just got my 2020 civic si today.
Congrats brother
I just co-signed a Blue 2020 SI coupe for my nephew two days ago with only 5 miles on it. We knew one of the mechanics that worked for Honda, so they gave us a 3000 discount because we say that we were family even though we’re not lol.
Just picked up a 2020 Si sedan in white and i love it. Traded in my 2008 Si for it and couldnt be happier!
Great choice I bought the same just picked it up last week 👍🏼
Congrats on the new car, great choice!! I'm not a "Honda guy" but I do admire them. I think they did a great job with the infotainment... in most aspects, it can hold its own if compared to BMW's iDrive and Mercedes' MBUX imho. Honda's walk away auto lock and remote start totally surpasses the German systems. BTW, your complaint regarding rev hang is totally absent in the CTR, so I'm sure theres a tune available that can address that. It's d
Hey buddy cheers up after I saw your video went to buy my Honda Civic SI white and black red Interior lovely Manual
Nice. I also went with MSM but in the sedan. Here's my fav things about the car (outside of subjective aesthetics). #1 Handling. #2 Trunk space. #3 Shifter. #4 MSRP of $25k #5 Residual!
Very nice car. I bought my WRX in 2012 and still driving it. I just put new brakes and rotors all around and soon I’ll be doing new tires. So, given the money for those normal wear and tear parts, I’ll drive it at least another year. The SI could be my next ride in 2021.
I have a 2020 Si Coupe as well. Mine is black though. Love it. Really fun to drive. Funny you mentioned you're not a fan of the seats. Ever since I got the car, that's one thing I've loved about the car. I find those seats comfortable and sporty looking. I love them. Only thing I hate about the car is the rev hang. That can make the car jerky between shifts. I find it's not as bad when the car is warmed up though. Overall, beautiful car and I'm happy I have it. I'll definitely have it for years to come.
the Toyota Celica GTS 2zz engine sounds amazing
I have had a few Civics. No Si's. I did have a 2001 GS-R Integra. I want this exact cars so bad! Congrats on your new Si.
Im jealous! I would love an Integra
Moving up in the world!
Great video! I currently drive a 1999 Accord V6, and as much as I love it, I’ve invested more into repairs than what the car is worth. I plan on keeping it for my last 2 years of college, but the 2020 Civic Si is one of my first choices for my next car.
I love the older Hondas. What have you done for repairs?
Cameron Hill Off the top of my head: Transmission Rebuild, Oil Pressure Switch, Valve Cover Gaskets, Tie Rods, Timing Belt, Water Pump, Oil Pump reseal, and Power Steering Pump. I’ve invested over $5,000 at this point, and as much as I love it, as a college student, I can’t afford to keep putting that kind of money into it.
Goodness gracious. That is a lot.. how many miles are on it?
Cameron Hill 179k, which is relatively low for those cars.
i think the newest ill go for a honda in general is maybe an 06, oldest i’ll go is 91 ek hatchback, just can’t get used to how big they’re going with the new cars. i love them little go karts.
Great vid! My brother has a 2019 model, and he let me drive it for a couple days and its so much fun. Def considering getting one
SparkySquier be quick! They are discontinuing it this year.
So glad they cleaned up the dash
Hey did you have any issues with headgasket or oil dilution on this 2020 si? I want it but worried about reliability. Im thinking of other options like accord 2.0T or the 2017 Acura tlx v6 awd. Whats your opinion since you did mods ?
9th gen is still my favorite working on getting a stock 2015. But this is clean and it's interesting how they made the seats primarily red in the 2020 model just like they did in 2014 with the 9th
I loved my 9th gen si!! I miss it dearly. I would also like to find a stock 2014 or 15 sedan to turbo!
@@Camhill182 that would be awesome man definitely make videos if you get one. You must miss the vtec a little right? My friend has an 8th gen and I love the sound of the vtec so much
ethan rad i do really miss the VTEC
I have a 9th gen si coupe (2014). I prefer the k24 over the new 1.5t. However my mom just got a 2019 ex coupe with the 1.5 and I have to say it has really grown on me
The door pillar on the 2-door models, which attaches the seat belt, is located a little further back than the 4-door models. That is why you need to reach further back to get the seat belt.
I'm not going to lie, the gun metal grey looks very nice, great choice my guy. The only thing I do not like about the coupe is the fake, cheap, rear 'vents'. I wish Honda didn't try so hard to make the civic look so 'unique'. As someone who's looking into purchasing this vehicle I appreciate the great review 👌
Thanks for the kind words!
Congrats dude... "This is to turn the fan up and this down". I laughed super hard....lmao
Badass dude!
I just got a 2020 Honda Civic coupe sport. I love it it’s in red it looks a lot like yours just doesn’t have those seats and the back looks different doesn’t have the fin on back.
Hey Cameron,
Can you please make a video of a headlight replacement as i just bought my 2020 sedan and I need to see how easy it is for the replacement. Can we replace is the LED bulbs we find online showing the fitment?
Thanks, from Atlanta.
is this model only available in USA? where can i find right hand drive civic si coupe?
the separate fans buttons is definitely the greatest change they made. Having to go into the climate to change the fan speed infuriates me with my 2018 Type R
Im so mad Honda don't sell the coupé civic here in Europe :/ , this is a dream car !
Damn im sorry!
Would be be a real RS in Europe with the 2.0T 250hp from the Accord.
So sad, and to think that its sister type R was conceived in Norway..
Rational Thinker i can’t find either one for sale in Finland
Your story is exactly like mine I had a 2015 modern steel coupe which sadly got totalled in March and I love and miss my two tier instrument panel😞This coupe has grown on me and I frankly love the changes Honda made for the 2020 all for just $700 more. I am undecided between getting the black or modern steel coupe. Also test drove the new 2020 Toyota Camry TRD....very very nice ride. Next year I will make my decision 👍 Thanks for the video bro!
I LOVE THE CAMRY TRD!! But for lots more money than the si, and the technology you get with the si is incredible. And yes, i was looking for a black, white, or red, but they didn’t have any of those in the 2020 model near me
@@Camhill182 No doubt the price tag is steeper with the TRD. Amazingly it doesn't have heated front seats or a moon roof- both of which the Si has. You are correct that the tech is better so it seems like a no brainier. Next summer I may inbox you to help me make that choice lol👍
smileusob75 hell yea, ill be sharing more about my purchase experience and updates on driving the car, so I hope that helps you make a decision
@@Camhill182 absolutely. Just subscribed so I'll definitely be following your videos ...good work! (And if I settle on the Si I am definitely getting that Hondata kit)
smileusob75 thank you!
I’m just back here cuz I miss that feeling when I got mine brand new 😔
8th gen owner here. Nice civic si btw.
Great review Cameron thanks for sharing on the FB forum. One big suggestion. Tint would set this off, otherwise enjoy man.
Thank you for the kind words! I will be modifying this car for sure. Ceramic coat, tint, reasonable exhaust, all that stuff
@@Camhill182 Thanks seriously real good job.
I learned to drive stick in my 2012 si. You’re right better to learn on a standard stuff with no technology helping
This channel is dope. Keep it up! I have a 2019 Civic Hatchback but I've always loved the SI!
General Orhan thanks!
I drive a 2019 Sti and honestly like turbo lag sometime because it makes the car feel 2x as fast when you floor it
thats a nice car, man. I really like those, and considered a 2015 or 16 STI, but it was almost impossible to find one that was completely stock
Dude! I’m in EDH. Cool to see a video from a local guy. Just subscribed! I’m planning to buy a Forte GT in the next couple months and start back up on my car vlogs. Going to check out the rest of your vids right now
What is EDH? Im In Roseville. I grew up in Maine and only been here two years so not totally familiar with the area yet!
Cameron Hill oh right on! EDH is El Dorado Hills. It’s the town right above Folsom. I sell real estate and my office is in Roseville though and I grew up out here so this is all sort of my neck of the woods lol. Really good content man!
Ryan Moyer oh nice!! The real estate market must be treating you well up here, huh? I look at houses all the time man. Folsom is BEAUTIFUL!! EDH as well. Whats your instagram?
Cameron Hill it’s a fun career man. I love it! And yeah they are some of the best areas for a lot of reasons but Roseville/Rocklin is also really nice and they all touch granite bay which is amazing too. Really it’s a nice pocket up here in the “Sierra foothills and surrounding areas” my IG handle is @ryanmoyersells what’s yours?
older video but damn i hope to get one of those babys!!! i dont caer how much the car payment is i bet its worth it to have a bad ass car like that nice video man!! im really looking in to getting my own car!!
I have a 13 si and love it way too much to get a 10th gen but tbh these are growing on me. Wicked sad the coupe is discontinued for the 11th gen
Lucky u got this SI 2020. Honda discontinued the production of 2 doors cars including the SI and all trims of coupe. SO SAD!
Have you found any setting to turn off the enhanced sound. Just think on a long highway drive the drone would get a bit old with the lower drive ratio keeping rpms above 3k. Love the forward facing angle that you use. More reviewers should do that. It really gives the viewer the best perspective.
I will have more of this then! I prefer to have someone in the cabin with me anyways
Im 6'6" so unfortunately I couldn't fit in the coupe not enough head space. So I went with the sedan I've only had for about 4 days and I love it. It's my first brand new car and honestly it's all I could really ask for and more. I can't wait to do some mods in the near future!
2 Tone Udon nice! Good choice. Check put my video on the PRL Cobra intake review i just posted. Its my first mod and I love it
@@Camhill182 for sure bro I'll definitely check it out
Yes! A coupe review
There is one thing that i can’t understand the si model is differrent from the sport plus model? They seems like ti have the same engine
my first car love which i leased 9th gen civic sedan,that interior was class full!!!
What year? I had a 2013 civic si sedan and i loved it, but it didnt have the touchscreen
I had a 19 Civic sport sedan
That's funny that you said that the seats are uncomfortable. I have had an injured back for years and these are the only seats In any car I've owned that dont hurt my back. I've taken this car on 1400 mile road trips at least twice and it still stays comfortable for most of the trip. They do soften up a bit as they get worn in as I remember mine were quite a bit more stiff from the factory
I think that probably is what it is. They will probably just need to be broken in
@@Camhill182 yea they definitely get much softer over time.
Good review. I really like the car. Btw you should try to grab the seatbelt with your other hand 😉
Honda is killing the industry bro no cap.
I like the video angles man. Ur def getting better. Keep at it brother! Car is dope
Happy Chasers HD thanks a lot!
@@Camhill182 you should Mount the camera to your sunroof so you get that first person perspective out the window
@@treverpitts check out my past few videos! I got a headband for the gopro
The reason it is not the same color black by the fog lights is because that’s where the millimeter radar is located and it’s a special cover that can’t be painted.
Sweet ride man. Good luck with it
So my only complaint with certain civic models are the LED headlights and or tail/brake lights. I was told let's say for example you have LED brake lights. If a brake light goes out you have to replace the entire Unit not just the bulb and will cost upwards of $500? If that's true that really sucks. I just leased a 2019 2 door civic lx. Nice Lil car
That's what the dealership told me
Martino Valentino the brake light is halogen stock and will run 15-20 halogen or led for a pair. The tail light is led but you can order a replacement online for 60-100 dollars and swap it yourself in 5 minutes, just a few screws
This Si Coupe looks very sharp with the gray and black colors. Hopefully you won't get too carried away with after market mods like some UA-cam Civic Si owners seem to do.
I wont get too crazy. Ill be tinting the windows, blacking out the chrome, and thats probably it
@@Camhill182
Watch PhongVLG's UA-cam channel. He's a fellow Californian 10th gen Civic Si owner who blew up his Si by trying to increase the boost to over 30psi while trying match Civic Type-R performance numbers. Don't be that guy🤨🤨
J High lol yes, i an subscribed to him. Its unfortunate what happened there. The most I’ll be doing is TSP Stage 1 and if my channel takes off and i actually can make it a job, I’ll see about swapping the Type R engine. But thats a BIG if
Excelente!! Saludos desde Mexico 🖐️
man this grey 2020 Honda Civic Si sure is pretty.
this cars beautiful definitely my dream car fr, would like to get the white one also.
I had this car. The easiest and best way I found to reach for the seatbelt is to underhand reach for it from below. Nice review
Bob O that is what i do!!
What a beautiful masterpiece of car!!
I like your sweater bro. 🔥👍
It looks gorgeous 😍😍
The bigger the liter engine, the better it sounds. That's why I use the 1980's 8v71 Series V8, 2-stroke Detroit diesel in my 1998 Honda Hatchback.
Price otd?
New Subscriber from Alaska to my Sacramento Civic fellow.
Thank you friend!
Great choice and congrats! I want one so bad!
You should get one. I love it!
Rewatching old Cam vids cuz im gunna miss the civic when he sells it lol
lol!
What spoiler did you put on? It doesn't look like the one comes with the car. I'm interested in getting such spoiler to put it on my car.
Thanks!
It came with the car
nice video and keep it coming..
Hate new cars that don’t bring the e break like before
Michael Bernardi yeah man it’s becoming standard in a lot of new manual cars. I think bmw still kept it for the m2 competition
agreed. I just picked up a 2020 is and can't stand the e brake
2019 & 2020 GTIs still have a conventional handbrake
Not even there is more space now and more controls. You can still do skids just by pulling on it still. I have a button wired from my wheel to the ebrake switch so i can press it to engage rather then bend my elbows.
good thing about it is you can set press it and don't have to step on the brake at the stop light. When green light, just go and the brake automatically disengage.
I have the 9gen 4 door in white and I love it. Have an N1 invidia exhausts and a mugen wing. Dropped 2 inches.
SpacexStocks 2020 nice! I love the 9th gen. I had one and I miss it
I’m not sure if you are aware of the oil dilution problem 10 gen Honda’s have. The earthdreams engine has it for sure. So it important to go synthetic and change your oil no more than 4K miles. Honda is working with oil companies and they will be releasing a new oil for the 10 gens on May this year. GDI something a complete new oil, Anyway great SI congrats 🍾
SpacexStocks 2020 i am aware. And letting it properly warm up before driving and everything to take the best care of it I can. And good to know!
Anyone know what type of spoiler he has??😬
what was the msrp?
Awesome dude, keeep doin
Thanks man
The Car is Looking Like a Fine Wine
Will buy 4 door sedan and some mods its badass
I wonder if we can purchase something too put on top of headrest too pull down and keep hooked too seatbelt?
I was thinking the exact same thing! I willl look into it
I have the 19 Si 4dr same color. I drove the wheels off of it since I got her. I've even had the turbo red hot... U gotta get ktuner. Makes a world of difference! I'm hella happy w my car only led headlights I'm missing
If civic si introduce in malaysia.i would but it definitely.for now i hold on my evo 3
The rev hang is due to the light weight flywheel. Or I think so but the 2013 si use do the same I had a coupe.
Nice video, the good thing about turbos is you can mod the exhaust and have a much deeper tone if you don't like that NA rasp. I'm actually going backwards oddly enough. Just sold my 9th gen to get an 8th gen. haha
Really? Why is that? I really want an 8th gen one day as a project. But why did you do it?
@@Camhill182 The 8th gen just puts a bigger smile on my face thanks to the high revving version of the k20. Some personal reasons as well, such as saving money, since I already have a project car. It's tough for me to pick actual reasons that make me want the 9th gen over the 8th other than I'll miss the orange color. :(
Looks cleaner than Type R to be honest.
I do not like all the red interior stuff on the Type R, as well as that tacky red stripe that surround the bottom of the car's body kit. It is overdone
I bought the window black out for the chrome, not going to do that till spring though.BATGIRL plates being made, I'm excited, it's not cheap here in Nebraska it is 40 bucks ex each year for personal, on top of the 700 too plate.
Check out pic of liscence plate frame I made for bacc
@@patriciasampier6705 where is the pic? are you on any of the Facebook pages for the 10th gens?
@@Camhill182 I'll get it on
Why couldn't the rear bumper be the same on the coupe and sedan? I prefer the sedan but I like the rear bumper on the coupe. Is there an aftermarket bumper from the coupe offered for the sedan?
No, they do not fit each other. They are wayyyy different. The trunk and rear bumper are completely different on the sedan and coupe
Last week my Honda dealer gave me very bad news: The coupe is discontinued in north America (Si, Touring, Sport and all the other trims) 2020 is the last year of civic 2 doors production! Lucky I got my 2020 early this Year. Good bye Civic Coupe THE BEST 2 DOOR EVER!
Nice car and nice looking guy to go with it.
Question: Cam, considering your Si is the incoming year, 2020, did Folsom Honda come down a little off MSRP? I live in Chico, so that dealership in in my region. Thanks.
I paid invoice!
@@Camhill182 Nice, thanks. And I respect that you bought the coupe in the best color they spray for the Civic Si.
8th gen owner , really debating whether to invest in the new Si or not . Turbocharged would be nice stock but just that 1.5L is kinda scary and without the integration of vtec just push me away from it . But good review definitely opened me up more
VERYRAREVRYAN I love the 8th gens myself, even the 9th gen, so this feels like a watered down version of an si. Doesnt even feel like an si, actually
How many Horse Power?
Love your new car Camz get it up man on the great videos
Thanks ev
Does that tripod setup stick to the seat while driving?
Tesla Roadster yes jt does. Its the one with bendable legs
Great video
Nice video! I think you are on the forum right? Funny I am from Folsom and was looking at Folsom lake Honda for a 2020 sedan but all they had was a 2019. I just bought a modern steel sedan a few day ago!
all they had was a 2019? I just bought this on saturday and they had this one and another 2020 in the sedan. I am very pleased with Folsom Lake Honda! Where are you from?
I noticed they had a 2020 after I bought mine from Stockton. I live in Fresno now but was living in EDH before that.
Eric Wall oh awesome! Good purchase man!
