    the mere fact that he used V-Tech instead of VTEC tells you how much you should listen to his review.

    Been driving this for a couple months and I think it’s a very under appreciated car. It’s no track demon it’s a FUN daily driver with room to tune. I get great fuel economy, a drivers seat I ENJOY being in, easy clutch and transmission that doesn’t make you want to die in traffic. A lsd from factory, a more rigid body, great suspension set up, you can’t beat the value. It’s very light for its size which yes does mean you give up the luxurious touch of heavy interiors but it isn’t trying to be a Mercedes. It’s surprisingly quick stock with $2k you can really blow yourself (and others ;) away

Stumbled on you and while it's for 2017, I still got some great info. Thank you! And i love your candor and enthusiasm! Oh, and PS: i traded in a GTI 2016 for my Honda Civic coupe...yes, i have less HP (2-5 vs 220?) however, repairs will be next to nothing with a Honda. Hence my decision. Honda's are the best and only car to own. IMP.

Knowing that you are a GTI fan and are use to the higher horse power, listening to you say that it's worth it to buy makes me want to definitely get one. Well at least take one for a test drive.

    I have 21,000 miles on the exact car model you reviewed and love it! The torque is there, but the best thing about it performance-wise is the handling - which is the best of any SI thanks to the limited slip and adjustable dampers and steering response. Not to mention great brakes and killer seats. For an all round daily driver under $30K, let alone under $25K loaded, no real comp.
    I test drove both tg he Focus RS and Subaru WRX and horsepower and awd lost out to the way the SI felt. Natural, whether being pushed or cruising. The shifter on the SI is better than the WRX. The seats and visibility better than the RS.
    The reliability way better. Mileage, space, insurance, as ll better. Price? A decently equipped WRX is $32 K. RS az bout $42K.
    I barely get a chance to let the SI stretch its legs, what the heck do I need another 60 or 145 hp for ? But great handling I can enjoy all the time.

    I had a 2020 Si Coupe for about 2 and a half years. While I did love it, I could not stand the rev hang. That's the biggest reason I got rid of it. It drove me nuts. The car was jerky as hell when upshifting because of it. If it wasn't for the rev hang, I'd probably still have the car. That's the only thing I hated about it but unfortunately for me, that's a deal breaker. I will say I agree with you on the seats though. The seats look awesome in the car. I absolutely loved the seats when I had mine. I wish Honda would fix the rev hang in these cars because that's the only thing that would stop me from buying another one. I have a 2023 WRX now with no rev hang and that car drives a lot better and is a lot smoother than the Si was. The rev hang also wears out the clutch.

    This car isn't really about torque and power. It's more about suspension and driving style.
    Honda could have made it cheaper by not offering a bunch of gadgets that many people don't want in a sport car. People want to drive this hard. Or for the same price, they should have put the 2.0 in with no gadgets.
    If you want both, get 2018 GTI Sport.

    I wouldn't compare the SI to a GTI. Maybe a GLI, it not a hatchback. Sedan or Coupe only. The R is the GTI (hatchback) competitor. The typeR is also closer to the same price range.

    205 is actually fast plus you can add twin turbo and more power so the max would be about 300

    • @ethanl8914
      @ethanl8914 6 років тому

      ZomBipandaa twin turbo is irrelevant on this car, a bigger upgraded single turbo is the route to go and prl made 350hp with the type r turbo on the si with some e85

    The Civic Type R was the demographic pointed towards the VW. In that which case it destroys it on the track.

  • @jhaha389

    many people pay to remove the badges. fan boys get more badges and people who have the best design taste remove them. so glad they didn't put badges on the sides that would have looked horrible. The car is mean't for the casual driver or the person who cant afford something expense to slowly wants to upgrade. The volume control on the touch screen sucks.
