    Disclaimer: This video is not like one of those generic AMV's with a Civic Si racing other cars because you might think it's a sleeper, AND this video does NOT contain that many VTEC scenes. There are plenty other videos that do that lol... (Perhaps we'll throw one up later though :] )

    As a 29 year old who's never owned (and still drives) anything other than my first car (08 Si 4-door) I can attest to a lot of this being true. Everything is accessible and usable, everything is spacious without being cavernous on the interior and nothing failed me except for the A/C compressor I pulled a shim out of @ 100k-ish miles just to stretch it to 108k. If the only major repair I have to do to a 21k car is a 1k compressor replacement over a decade and a half then I'm one happy camper. I wouldn't trade the 8th gen civics for anything.

    9th gen owner here, and I wish I could afford all the different gen Si's. I love this car, I'm an "Si" guy and my next car will be another Si. Either a old Fg2 or a new 18' coupe in pearl white. Every gen has pros and cons imo. It's not the perfect car.. But it almost is.

    There's something wonderful about the 8th generation it has a soul from the steering to the chassis that double Wishbone suspension is a must the new Civic don't have the same sound or precise steering and they don't look as good as the 8th generation Coupe

    In my opinion the 9th gen shifts smoother, I love my 8th gen si to death but as far as shifting I’ll give it to my wife’s 9th gen si, I have yet to drive the 10th gen tho, at first I hated them, but now it’s like....meh 😏

    Honda is also known for making shit transmissions like the CL type s automatic and the craptastic Honda Odyessy transmission of the early 2000’s
    Don’t forget some of the transmissions in the early TLs and accords.. they were just as horrible as the CLs because some of the cars used the same damn transmissions.
