Hey guys, we have a small correction: The Civic Si does *not* come as a hatchback - just the sedan and coupe. The closest you can get with the hatchback is the Civic Sport.
@TFLnow, hey man @ 6:15 Honda PR (public relations) state that the look of that exhaust is supposed to mimic the 'HDMI' port we see today as trying to make that center exhaust look 'hip' and 'trendy'. It has that HDMI shape and i guess it's ok... I mean who knows
You reviewed the Civic SI, and before you showed us the seats and where the cupholders were, you started it up and put it on the road, and then talked about how it felt to drive it. Congratulations!! You made a review for people who are considering buying this car because they enjoy driving. So many reviewers spend their time talking about the infotainment system and the rear leg room. There are infinite other choices on the market. We're not buying 6-speed manual with 205 HP because we really love the leg room. Thanks again!
Here in the US, The Si trim was introduced in fall 1984 for the 1985 model year in the Honda Prelude Si; The Civic received it for 1985 model year in the CRX and the Civic hatch in 1986 model year.
It's a 5 star car because it is exactly what it says it is: a relatively cheap, relatable, fun car to drive with excellent gas mileage and 6MT. There are few such "honest" cars out there.
The exhaust looks like an HDMI port. Also I want the coupe. Always wanted a 2 door car but no one seems to sell them and I can only afford used. So 4 door it's been.
Honda needs to offer the Si in the hatchback. I agree that the Si model is the "goldilocks" model, but the hatch is the best platform. They need to combine the two!
Well your point is valid so saying that then the Type-R should be in coupe and sedan. Not every one is crazy about hatchbacks. In my opinion it's more expensive than the coupe and sedan.
@@terrancemoore496 The sedan is extremely boring. I'd be fine with not offering the Si or the R in sedan form. But, CTR coupe would be amazing! I'd still go hatchback because of family needs, but a CTR Coupe would definitely shake up the industry.
@@JaxT83 I hopefully will work up to a Type R. I like it being a hatch. Now that's a unique style for having a Type R. Like it should be a unique style que that the Si come in a sedan or coupe.
JaxT83 lol, that’s because people rarely go around trashing other people’s cars to their faces. I assure you, most people think you look ridiculous. I don’t need to run an inferential analysis to conclude that. Ha!
@@TFLnow The Si came out in 1985 in the U. S.; I bought the 1984 Civic "S" (naturally aspirated with carburetor) in December of 1984. Do I get a hat too? lol
I really liked your review and agree with probably everything you said about the car. I did a test drive and while the rev hang is somewhat of a nuisance, it is tolerable and I feel like you could probably get used to it. I didn't drive it hard and I didn't try to shift real bad and therefor the rev hang was almost insignificant. This car drives awesome and looks are borderline for me. I don't like the fake plastic vents, otherwise the the center exhaust is the only other questionable like. My problem though, is no spare tire! That is inexcusable but I still may buy the car and get my own spare and figure out how to make it work. The seats were awesome for me too but my wife didn't care too much for the red in them. I also hear that the Honda Sensing is not so great per many owners. Anyone that can verify or refute please chime in. Thank you again Roman!
2:57 you state Honda added a volume knob... that’s not correct. My 2019 has a volume knob and physical buttons on the steering wheel (versus the slider on the whee and head unit).
The problem with the Type R is as a middle-age man, I would be embarrassed to be seen in it. It looks like an 18-year-old put all that extra stuff on the outside
Duke of Speed it’s actually cheaper in Europe when I was looking for one I found the expensive ones where the Golf GTi and Golf R and the Mégane can get pretty pricey too the RS trophy is over €70,000!
Sergio Aguirre so an alpha would actively seek the approval of tween boys? Lol. I highly doubt any true alpha would seek others approval. It’s a beta move to want to be envied, as it shows weakness and insecurity.
238,000 miles on my 2000 civic. Original alternator and clutch. Recently sold it to a friend. Another buddy had over 300,000 on a identical 99 Civic LX.
I wouldn't get any of the Honda vehicles with the 1.5t due to their oil dilution issue. The engine will wear out much faster because of the metal on metal damage from the diluted oil☹️ Honda isn't stepping up and fixing the issue at hand.
I don't know why people keep buying this car.. since 2006 the SI almost still has the same horsepower and the handling is almost the same what improvements has Honda really done for this car they've actually made the regular Civic better and the SI stays the same. The last great Civic SI was the 2006 body style with the K20 motor
no torque. off the stoplight an odyssey smokes it with the 5 year old in the backseat sticking their middle finger at you while you wait for vtec to kick in. lmao.
@@oldtwinsna8347 I did know a lot of Si owners did not know how to drive that car especially off of line you definitely have to get the revs up to launch that car. You are right out of season that year we're pretty fast but as soon as you made a turn at high speeds that van would roll more than the seaweed wrap at a sushi bar so much for the five year old in the back seat.. the S I was not made for drag racing more of a circuit racer. Although if you were going 60 miles an hour and the VTEC kicked in you can reach a hundred pretty quick not bad for a 196 horsepower car.
Because for a regular person it’s a sporty peppy and trouble free car. It’s maybe not for the true enthusiast but you can tune the crap out of it. For 25 k it’s a nice car. Sure you have the type n but the inside is not as nice as normal people want to sit in every day.
@Jaime Lloren Yes I am an owner of an phone line as well. Lol question do you own a Honda civic? Well if you do then you will know how distracting and an ordeal that the infotainment unit can be even with a volume knob going through you station presets is not what you call easy, and GOD forbid if I am going over 60 and driving. I will be completely off the road or in an accident. In honestly I nearly was. Yes I do like my 2019 Honda Civic Si but it has been a learning curve getting used to the infortaiment unit. Oh btw, have fun being a twink. 😄Also in my opinion it should have a tuning knob as well.
@Jaime Lloren Fair enough well I am bi lol. What I mean is that I use both. Yes it's also easier for your passenger to adjust the volume with a radio knob as well. Another point, I recently had a 2006 Acura TSX, and guess what? The volume on the steering wheel all of the sudden STOP working. Yes in I know what you are saying then why did you have it fixed? Yes I could have, but that voulume knob came in real handy then. Can people have option? I am glad that Honda is getting back to the norm.
Why no seat back pocket on the left side? It's because the driver can reach..and use the seat back pocket on the right by reaching to it and retrieving something needed.
If I were to get one the first thing I do I get the dealer to change out those terrible black rims. Then I’d get a different exhaust tip-that OEM one is hideous. Then a tune and at least a front wrap. So much y’all about a volume knob. 🙄 not sure if this one has a mute button but that’s all you need. If it’s too loud hit the mute. No need for a knob. Silliness all the complaining about not having one of you have a mute button.
Ryan Graff , it’s crap that the Canadian version gets Navigation along with a couple of other features we don’t get and for the same price once converted.
Jesse James luckily I live in Canada. I did some more research and found out we get extra features here. I might just lease the touring and wait for the next gem SI to buy.
Juiceboxx TM I just went through this. Used type r rarely pop up under 30, and even then are often questionable. I got my 2019 for 35,500 + ttt. Used is not really worth it.
I’m still pissed about all the markup when I really wanted one. Now going for a used vette. 40 k buys a nice 2 year old vette with z51 package and 6k miles.And yes I realize not the same kind of car.
I have a magnaflow exhaust ,aem filter and chrome black out on my si. It’s significantly more peppy which is strange, however it’s an amazing car with the upgrades
Hey there, enjoyed the video. I have a 2017 Honda Civic Si Coupe and LOVE it. It's my 3rd civic Si. The FIRST one was my 1985 CRX Si whcih I beieve was the first Si on the market...
if Honda's not going to add a dct to the Si then reduce the rev-hang and add auto rev-matching for the newbies to manual. the new cheaper manual corolla have auto rev-matching
@@aamir1972 I have a 9th gen and I went to Honda and made them fix it, or you can just get hondata flash pro. I would assume you can do the same on a 10th gen
I love manuals as much as anyone but why couldn’t they offer an automatic or cvt in addition? In urban/suburban living often people (like me) like or need one. I like this car a lot but I don’t want a stick for suburban driving. Honda should offer both.
NEED MORE POWER! The Honda Civic lineup needs more power across the board! It’s lagging behind all other major compacts! The 2.0 Is fine 140hp for a base model. PERFECT! However the the SPORT! 1.5 needs to be making closer to 200HP! Not 160! The SI is super weak! 195 HP?!?’ Wasn’t the 9th gen more powerful? (That motor should be in the sport!) The SI should have a 2.0 K20 turbo motor making 240+hp! Then the type r DESPERATELY needs AWD and a Turbo K24 making 330hp! I know the Type R is a very quick FWD car. But that’s the ceiling for a fwd vehicle. It can’t get faster with out awd. Look what Subi just did with the STI. Set a new record at Isl of man!
The 9th gen is not that far off in terms of power. It made 205hp and 174lbs of torque compared to the 10th gen with 205hp and 192lbs of torque. The main difference is that the torque comes a lot sooner than the 9th gen. Honda should've uped the power to at least 230/240hp and at least 200lbs or torque. A car with 200hp isn't impressive most especially if it's a 4 cylinder with a turbo. I don't have an si but if I had to choose, I'd for sure get the 9th gen. It may not be as fast as the 10th gen (which is not by much) but it looks hell of a lot better, has a larger aftermarket support, and with a turbo would destroy the 10th gen easy. I agree that Honda should've used a k20 for the si cuz the 1.5 has oil dilution issues. Now an awd Type R with a k24 would definitely be interesting. There's been talk about Honda making the Type R awd. I'm sure that it's just a rumor but if they go through with it, then it'll be insane.
Kraoking XYZ AWD type R probably coming gen11. Because I don’t know how they can make the fwd base car faster. Also it very well could be a hybrid like a small NSX.
@@kraokingxyz1397 no way to get that power from the 1.5 and the 2.0 is reserved for the type r. maybe some hybrid motor setup for tire shredding power but say goodbye to manual trans for that.
Is there any car that gives you this satisfaction to drive in a 4 door or with a usable back seat under $40k and that would be considered reliable to own for at least ten years?
There are videos of the SI's being Dyno'd and it ran like 240hp at its peak. they dumb down the numbers on paper because they want to sell more Type R's.
The back of the car still looks like it was designed by 3 different committees. Somebody at Honda needs to hire a European designer. This star wars styling is embarrassing. Only 14 year olds like this style and they can't drive.
Well, this is the first time I have ever heard anyone describe that exhaust pipe as "sexy," and certainly not the sexiest thing about the car. Well, I'll be...
f181234 my car is stock. It’s my daily. And yes it’s beaten SI’s. I have vids if you want them. Just ask for my number or add me on snap and I’ll send em to you.
There's a huge list of cars that are faster in a straight line. Speed is cheap. This car is more about speed in corners. I've been faster in my Si than cars with 2x the hp at autocross and HPDE's.
bcskelly but let’s be real.. when are you going to use that in public? Not that often unless you’re on a track. Now how many times will you pull up to someone at a red light and “race”. That’s more common and more likely to happen.
The turbo was subbed for variable lift on the intake valves. The low end torque is awesome. Only wish it had now too end gusto. Otherwise great powertrain. Also should mention the huge hp gains with ktuner/hondata.
Hate the tacked on rear vents. It’s just ugly. It works a lot better on the Sport Hatchback. Wish so much for an Si Hatchback. Don’t like the look of the hdmi exhaust. Needs a proper twin exhaust with a rear diffuser like the sport hatchback.
Styling has not been Honda's forte for quite some time now, but I'm glad to see they're tweaking and refining it to look a bit nicer. I'm curious to see what the next full redesign will look like. Hopefully more sexy and less tacky racer boy.
For $25,990 sticker price its about as much performance, technology, gas mileage and reliability you can get for that amount of money for a brand new car. I think its about 95% perfect. The only thing it should have is vents for rear passengers and maybe 20 more HP.
@@wranglerlife4ever42 Oh I agree. It's a sweet little package, it just doesn't excite me that much. But that's just my opinion. And that's coming from a 9th Gen Si owner.
Ryan Littleton - the styling is a little confusing to me....I don’t care for the rear bumper or the exhaust tip. I do like the LED headlights and fog lights.....and the wheels are a big improvement in looks. I have the 2020 Si sedan on my list of cars for test drive this spring.
No mention about the shorter final drive ratio, standard led headlamps, complete Honda sensing suite. "I will go over everything that's changed", instead..."this car has new black rims"...what a joke. Where's the gimbal while filming? Looks like Blair Witch project 2, there are food bloggers with better production quality. And the seats on the Type R are pinching you because you're not average weight..your grossly over weight, you can't blame that on the car made for normal people.

As Rick Tatorship correctly stated, you say the civic comes in 3 body styles, 3:45 , and the Si comes in coupe and sedan at 3:51.
Also it has smart/adaptive cruise. Didn’t hear you mention it

It may not be as fast as the 10th gen (which is not by much) but it looks hell of a lot better, has a larger aftermarket support, and with a turbo would destroy the 10th gen easy. I agree that Honda should've used a k20 for the si cuz the 1.5 has oil dilution issues. Now an awd Type R with a k24 would definitely be interesting. There's been talk about Honda making the Type R awd. I'm sure that it's just a rumor but if they go through with it, then it'll be insane.
Kraoking XYZ AWD type R probably coming gen11. Because I don’t know how they can make the fwd base car faster.
Also it very well could be a hybrid like a small NSX.
@@kraokingxyz1397 no way to get that power from the 1.5 and the 2.0 is reserved for the type r. maybe some hybrid motor setup for tire shredding power but say goodbye to manual trans for that.
Devin, your facts for horsepower ratings are completely wrong for 10th gen. Oh and btw, Subaru will be downsizing engines coming this next redesign.
@@kraokingxyz1397 Oil dilution problems seem to be much for of a problem for non-owners of internet commenters such as yourself.
The aventador and the new nsx also have thaf exhaust tip
Is there any car that gives you this satisfaction to drive in a 4 door or with a usable back seat under $40k and that would be considered reliable to own for at least ten years?
3:45 that’s a hatchback
those fake vents make it look cheap......interior too......and its had 205 hp for yrs......come on honda you can do better
There are videos of the SI's being Dyno'd and it ran like 240hp at its peak. they dumb down the numbers on paper because they want to sell more Type R's.
The pocket part was funny.🤣
First Honda civic SI 1984
The back of the car still looks like it was designed by 3 different committees. Somebody at Honda needs to hire a European designer. This star wars styling is embarrassing. Only 14 year olds like this style and they can't drive.
Kumbaya kumbaya
The front end isn’t bad at all. But yea that rear end on all trims is baad. (And I own one)
The new accord looks great tho
At six feet tall plus and a very senior citizen, could such a person enter and exit the coupe easily? Have always liked jaunty little cars.
Very nice car & liking the manual
Naaaah! A true sports car should be only two doors! That's the only one i would get.
Thanks I have been waiting for this
When will civic EV come out?
Well, this is the first time I have ever heard anyone describe that exhaust pipe as "sexy," and certainly not the sexiest thing about the car. Well, I'll be...
he has to say something is sexy cause honda won't let them test anything else... it's a piece of shit car in my book....
@@JOHNJ0HN9111 but here you are watching it and talking about it lol
@@NaijaBull and your point is??
First Si was produced in Japan in 1984
Honda, please, start selling SI in Europe!!! US have now the Typer R, so time is ripe for the SI in Europe.Thank You in advance:)))
Sweet shoes, a man after my own heart
First honda sedan produced in the U.S was in 2007
Finally less sporty look civic,grown up civic
That's a lot of mufflers. Probably a lot of extra weight. I don't get it.
First SI in the US was 1985
I love love love this car really nice
1984 … same as that movie that’s coming true IRL.
First Honda Civic SI in the US was in 1985
Sad that my 2014 GLI will still smoke it in a straight line.
Adrian Quiroz if it’s stock no it won’t and it can’t keep up with Si in the corners
f181234 my car is stock. It’s my daily. And yes it’s beaten SI’s. I have vids if you want them. Just ask for my number or add me on snap and I’ll send em to you.
There's a huge list of cars that are faster in a straight line. Speed is cheap. This car is more about speed in corners. I've been faster in my Si than cars with 2x the hp at autocross and HPDE's.
bcskelly but let’s be real.. when are you going to use that in public? Not that often unless you’re on a track. Now how many times will you pull up to someone at a red light and “race”. That’s more common and more likely to happen.
@@ad7.5 you're probably right, though I don't street race. Last autocross of the year in STL is tomorrow though!

Si has rev hang kills yhe deal for me.
Late 1984 now where my hat 🧢
First year in the US , 1983.
The 2door is better
HONDA SHOULDA KEPT THIS A: 2L VTEC 210HP 181FTTQ... WITHOUT A TURBO. I'LL PASS
It doesn't have VTec which kinda of sucks with it being an Si
Tool0GT92 who cares about vtec when you have stepless variable valve (don’t know if it’s either timing, lift, or both.)
93remix did the old 2L get 40mpg hwy? I average 43mpg hand calculated on the highway at 75mph.
The turbo was subbed for variable lift on the intake valves. The low end torque is awesome. Only wish it had now too end gusto. Otherwise great powertrain. Also should mention the huge hp gains with ktuner/hondata.
@Sergio Aguirre I've gotten close to 40 mpg on the NJ Turnpike doing 65-70 mph to NYC with my K24. I normally average between 31-35 mpg.
Hate the tacked on rear vents. It’s just ugly. It works a lot better on the Sport Hatchback. Wish so much for an Si Hatchback. Don’t like the look of the hdmi exhaust. Needs a proper twin exhaust with a rear diffuser like the sport hatchback.
Styling has not been Honda's forte for quite some time now, but I'm glad to see they're tweaking and refining it to look a bit nicer. I'm curious to see what the next full redesign will look like. Hopefully more sexy and less tacky racer boy.
It looks better than the Type R.. IMO..
It's nice but still kinda "meh" for me.
For $25,990 sticker price its about as much performance, technology, gas mileage and reliability you can get for that amount of money for a brand new car. I think its about 95% perfect. The only thing it should have is vents for rear passengers and maybe 20 more HP.
@@wranglerlife4ever42 Oh I agree. It's a sweet little package, it just doesn't excite me that much. But that's just my opinion. And that's coming from a 9th Gen Si owner.
Ryan Littleton - the styling is a little confusing to me....I don’t care for the rear bumper or the exhaust tip. I do like the LED headlights and fog lights.....and the wheels are a big improvement in looks. I have the 2020 Si sedan on my list of cars for test drive this spring.
The first honda civic si in North AAmericawas 1985
No mention about the shorter final drive ratio, standard led headlamps, complete Honda sensing suite. "I will go over everything that's changed", instead..."this car has new black rims"...what a joke. Where's the gimbal while filming? Looks like Blair Witch project 2, there are food bloggers with better production quality. And the seats on the Type R are pinching you because you're not average weight..your grossly over weight, you can't blame that on the car made for normal people.
1987 in the United States.
Still no 8-speed DSG? Sigh.
There's plenty of other cars that come with automatics. Save the manuals!
@@bcskelly Why not offer both though? Nobody said manual shouldn't be an option.
Si’s have always been manual and will always be manual
@@leonelperaza94 and a large number who _would_ buy Honda will buy something else instead.
@@TheSuburban15 The automatic Civic Si would be the Civic Sport hatchback more or less.
Best looking Civic for sure. The hatchback is Fuuuuugly
"a lot of motorcycles don't get 30 mpg"
Sure, if you're talking greater than a liter superbikes. Seriously, Roman?
My liter bikes averaged 43-50mpg running 85mph everywhere (2006 & 2x2009 gsxr 1000s) lol
@@KTMcaptain congrats. My point being that basically any bike gets over 30 mpg. I should have clarified that better.
