Kudos to whoever detailed the interior and did the vacuum lines on the mats, nice touch

This POV style is the shit, something I'm always left wanting for in other reviews. Subbed

[poolplexer]

Manufacturers need to stop with this artificial sound pumped In through the speakers.

[ak]

The new fake engine noise they added in the refresh was a serious mistake.

[cpat]

I get how everyone hates the fake noises and all the other stuff but if you plan on having this car for a long time those things can be easily tuned and fixed to your liking. This was a really good review for me because I’ve been a Honda guy my whole life and the sedan SI makes it a practical daily driver. I’m in the market for one currently, and you said it yourself the fact that they’re still even making this with a manual only transmission is a big selling point

[macron-hsjh]

If manual is still being offered by a manufacturer don't talk about it just buy it !! #savethemanuals

“Cabin is looking a little dated...” meanwhile, in my 2003 Camry....

[marilynlemieu]

I owned a civic SI 2018 till 2023 and it was my favorite car! Just not a winter car for our Canadian winters! It really sucks in the snow

[billyjenkins]

I'm actually pretty interested in making this my next daily driver. So far, it seems like there's a solution to every issue that bothers me so far from these reviews
- Rev hang : Get Hondata FlashPro
- Engine sounds through speakers : Unplug from glove box
- Honda Sensing : Turn off in menus
These three things seem avoidable. If it's not as easy as I'm making it seem, can someone let me know? I really like everything else about it so far

[juniorcuellar]

Wow! This 18 minute video seemed like it was 5 minutes. I was very entertained and engaged for the whole time. Keep up the work and can’t wait to see what else you can get behind the wheel on!

[riley]

I have a 2020 Si Coupe. Love it. Really fun car to drive and really fast. Love the power. Love the standard transmission as well. Only thing I don't like about the car is the rev hang. Awesome car. I recommend it to anyone who's looking to buy one.

[buildmorefarms]

For 2 grand more than this Si I got a Velsoter N performace package...no rev hang, customizable drive modes, exhaust, etc...quick, nimble, rare, and most of all FUN! That being said, I am an Si fan and would consider buying one for a daily driver to replace my other car.

[brianlee]

Fan-freaking-tastic job, TheTopher!


Love your videos!

[blindnagareboshi]

2020 si coupe pearl white owner here - it is absolutely a super fun daily!! Of course there are tons of better cars, faster and sexier. But this was what my salary and credit was able to afford me 🤣 Great reviews man keep em coming!

[aroundomaha]

This is a great bang for the buck with the limited slip diff and electronic dampers. No one offers the same value on these points, but wow that rev hang is a buzz kill. The Civic SI current generation is killing it in SCCA G Street class and I still have second thoughts about having bought a GTI (significant discount).

[jeffpesos]

Sounds like those old school racing games on SNES and Sega 😂

[subvet]

They should have had the option to turn off the active sound in the settings menu. Sounds buzzy. Not natural at all.

[arjunsecondary]

can't believe this man started the car and didn't wiggle the shifter. you ALWAYS make sure it's in neutral even if you know it is in neutral!

[vincentray]

I tried to buy one of these the other day. Sticker price on the window was ~26K, as we were trying to make the deal he pulls out the price sheet and a FIVE THOUSAND dollar "rarity premium" was added. As My fiance and I were sitting there as he runs to print new window price stickers and replaces them with the 31 thousand dollar new price. F u c k t h a t...crooks.
I ended up purchasing a 9th gen that was really well taken care of!

[shartingfish]

I drove this and a GTI and while i would expect the Si to last longer, the GTI was so much better in every category for me. Including price.. I've had the GTI for almost 2 years now, and it has been 100% reliable.
