how about you get them both in manual and then redo this entire video.

The shape of the Toyota 86's stereo unit tells me that Toyota knew the buyer of the 86 will install a aftermarket stereo.

As the owner of an Auto FRS I felt like an uninvited guest watching this video and reading the comments

[canyonroads]

This was just a comparison of automatic vs manual. Why not get the cheaper 86 with a comparable transmission? This whole video seemed pointless

[brandonphelps]

I have a 17 Civic Si as a daily and I absolutely love it.. I don’t live too far from work and I’ll take the long way just to enjoy the ride.

I can’t help but wonder how much more fun would the 86 be with the same torque as the Civic Si (an additional 41 lb ft). I like the Civic’s blue paint better than the 86’s blue; it’s less consistently good looking, but has more potential to look good.

[LegendaryGunman]

Your timing is impeccable as I was comparing these exact cars yesterday! Thanks boys!

[clairekennedy]

Love the Civic for it’s practicality and features plus it’s a blast to drive and is easier in daily commute thanks to the turbo you don’t have to downshift as often to speed up

[inFamousKicks]

I was cross-shopping these two cars up until a few weeks ago. Ultimately went with the Civic Si and I've been more than happy with it.

I just picked up a 10th gen Civic Si Sedan. I love it! It's great for daily. It comes fully loaded with everything. If I wanted a Sports car I would of gotten a used 370z and slapped on some bolt-ons for the price of a new (outdated) 86.

The car being RWD or FWD doesn't make a difference 90% of the time you drive. Only when you push it to the limits or take it the track is where it matters. Coming from a Nissan 240SX and an Infiniti G35, the Civic Si handles corners like a champ.

My 2019 Brz is my dream car and I bought it for 25k US back in January. Best car purchase EVER! Drives like a dream! (It’s my daily driver and traffic with the 6speed doesn’t suck that bad for what it is plus I can just romp on it once the traffic clears and glide through the gears 👍👍👍

Those Civic Coupe Tailights looks amazing at night.

The 86 automatic in Standard mode using the shifting Paddles you'll fall in love with the car. Then on the interstate put in in Auto and Drive to save fuel.

[LondonHasFallin]

I prefer the front of the Civic, but the rear of the 86.... Overall I'd buy the Civic Si

[aamir]

Got my Si 3 weeks ago and have been watching StraightPipes for about as long (the Type R video from a bit back pulled me in actually) and now they come out with this. Let's just say I am happy.

[williamk]

I went from an 8th gen Si to two VWs and now an M2.  The Si will always hold a special place in my heart for how fun it is for the cost.

[AlainCarAudioManiac]

I have a manual Toyota 86 don't even know why I'm watching this LOL

[markb]

I have a '19 Si sedan, and at 6'3" with 35" inseam I can sit behind myself. And the trunk is huge. Car is the size of a previous generation Accord, yet very sporty and light. It's definitely the way to go at this price point.

[flammablewater]

This is the comparison I didn't know I needed.
