2013 Honda Civic Si - Redline: Review 

"If you cant drive a manual and don't even think of going to honda to ask if they can put an automatic in there because honda will probably never will" Best line of the whole review SAVE the Manuals

in a few years the civic will be the size of an accord. Honda please keep this car small and bring back the hatchback.

This 2.4L engine sounds better than the new 1.5L turbo.

i just bought this a couple weeks ago and i'm 100% pleased with my decision. I drove the brand new st's and gti's as well and i think the si is faster acceleration wise but def not top speed. i just wish they did a little better job with the exterior but all in all its a fun drive

they need to bring back the prelude as rwd with a nice look that stands out.

I have a 2012 Si and I absolutely love it. I checked out the GTI, Speed3 and WRX and only the Si fit the budget and feel perfectly. There is definite sporty high end rev with this model that some of the others don't have. In my opinion only the WRX made me waver in my purchase choice, but I like the svelte subdued effect of the Si that the WRX most definitely doesn't have. Great video review by the way.

I don't see any other manufacturers making over 200 horsepower with a naturally aspirated 2.4 liter engine. Honda has been doing this since the 90's. Give credit where credit is due. Guarantee that if you remove the turbos from all of the competition those cars wouldn't come anywhere near 200 horses.

Thank you! We are extremely thrilled that you enjoyed it and how it has helped you with your decision. Have you figured out whether you wanted the coupe or sedan yet?

This guy is really good at his job! His reviews are thorough.

I think that the main thing that most people that review this car never talk about is that its a good aftermarket car i dont know about others but if a got a new civic it would be mainly a aftermarket car its very easy to add a turbo to them and get very good results.

You guys make the most entertaining videos. I watched the whole thing, full screen, no other distractions and paid complete attention. There are very few other RU-vid channels I can say the same thing about. Well done.

GREAT review! one of the only good, in-depth reviews about the new si on youtube, all the others are dealers trying to sell the car. Im considering trading for an si and this video has helped a ton with my decision making process. i recently drove the new si and its a totally kick ass car! totally responsive, sleek and the new features are awesome for the price! Keep up the good reviews, guys.

For a show called "2theRedline", you sure don't redline that Civic enough haha.

Just sweet! Glad I got one (2013 Si Sedan) in blue. Planning in changing the exhaust configuration and the intake to add up about 20-30 more HP to it. Pretty darn good Si that can compete and beat any 4-cans out there... ...well done, Honda!

Loved how you did this one versus the others. Camera positioning and everything.

Damn. You guys do great reviews. Not only you do a real in car test drive without cutouts, but you also give great feedback and information on the car at the same time :D I don't regret subscribing to you guys.

Its nice to have an option to get an NA car in the market of turbo chargers, for me as a medical student - reliability is the most important factory and with an Si this is the best choice, not to mention the awesome resale value. If you are a professional student or keep cars for more than the warranty period, get the Si - it will save you the headache of turbo charged cars and you will get most of your money back when you are ready to upgrade. From personal experience; I have a friend with a 2009 GTi DSG - he currently has 94k miles on it and he already had to replace the turbo on it, the Dual clutch gearbox requires expensive fluid flushes (At least in the VW) every 30k miles (around $500 at the dealership), With the civic si, all you need are oil changes & a transmission fluid flush every 50k miles (which is dirt cheap compared to the GTi) If you get a sedan Si you will also have the dirt cheap insurance for it aswell..

As much as I have always been a bmw fan my whole life I really enjoyed this review! Sure the si isn't the fastest car out there, but there's something about the si that one is drawn to. It clearly shows honda's racing roots and a honda engine is built to last and the sound of v-tec is music to my ears. A great daily driver car.

Mostly it is just the NAV system with voice recognition but it also rolls in XM radio as well.

An excellent, comprehensive and unbiased review. I wish there were more like it. Well done.

5:40 - fuck that, never drove a manual, still bought an Si

How did the sound system sound with it all the way up lol?

We were comparing this 2013 Si to the 2013 Civic EX we also reviewed back in Dec. The 12 Si and 13 Si are the same in that regard.

We appreciate the support :) our editor in chief chooses to leave out the WRX or Evo because it is AWD. Even though, price wise it does compete some buyers do not want or need AWD which is why he sticks to FWD models. We should be reviewing Subaru and Mazda soon!

KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE ROAD! Oh, and I like the car.

See videos of the 2014 Civic Si on my channel!

this video was great!!!! i loveeeeee the intro!! amazing job guys

Very impressed with the quality of the reviews on this channel, subscribed! Nice Civic too.

Redline Reviews. Your title for this video is misleading to viewers. It should say "2013 Honda Civic Si Coupe" not 2013 Honda Civic Si.

that's the 2012? right?

I love your reviews! Keep up the good work!

Very nice job reviewing the Si! You touched on alot of important details people are looking for when weighing their options. *thumbsup*

i wish this si was awd.

7:18 Fail.

Brilliant review Sofyan. Hope to see more reviews like this.

I loved the start of the video great editing skills!!!!!!!

2014 Si even better..

Again its not a TSX engine its a totally different engine WTF people.. Not the same engine the TSX uses K24Z3 while the Si uses K24Z7 engine get your facts straight.

Your channel and review keep getting better and better!

i bought this as my first car 3 weeks ago in the same color, still learning manual on it but I love this thing so much

8th gen sounds and looks better

Interior sounds incredibly loud.

Thank you! Very nice upgrade for you as well :)

Awsome review as always you the man lol dude you the best reviewer alive like no youtube channel does it better I enjoy watching all your videos I stay up all night just watching your car reviews keep them coming great job man seriously..

Amazing review man well done I have a 2012 and I love it good review man

I just bought the exact model you tested same color and all, it's a great little tuner and I am very happy with the purchase Super Torquie and a lot of fun to drive.

Sweet review, sweet ride! Love the civics and especially love the new Si model BTW... Anyone know what song is playing in the background?

The rear view camera will show up in the 5 inch i-MID display when you get a model without NAVI. Choosing between these two model will be tough. Both have strengths and weaknesses based on what is important to you. Both are priced roughly the same with the Accord Sport being a bit more. Tech features are pretty close, since all the really good tech is saved for the EX and above Accords. The Civic will be more fun to drive and quicker, plus easier to park but the Accord will be more comfortable.

Hey man I want to thank you for this reply considerably! It's only Sunday and I guarantee that was the best laugh I will have all week.

Unfortunately, the weather in our area hasn't been cooperating, it's been either cold, windy, or rainy for over a week. Don't worry, it's supposed to warm up next week and we will be back to filming :)

Very nice detailed review ! good job !

Great job on the reviews you guys have been doing!! I'm now on the market for a new car and I've been looking at the Accord '13 or '14 with manual transmission. If you can, would you do a review on the Accord Ex '14 with manual, please? Thanks!!

Although the Si may not be turbocharged, acceleration wise it can keep up surprisingly well with the GTI and price wise it falls right in line with the turbo competition. The Forte and tC are less expensive and cannot keep up power wise.

We may also add an ILX 6MT to the list depending on the deal an Acura dealer will do

You're channel got a lot better congrats!!!!!!!!!!!

Very good video review, man. I'm actually trading in my tC for the sedan model. I put a deposit down already. I can't until it arrives!

my parents just bought me this car for my 16th birthday and im absolutely in love with it we have some rims on it and some new racing tires which makes it grip super well 6 speed manual Transmisson all just perfect

Great job! I'd like to let you know that this video really helped.

what is the song in the beginning of the review?

Excellent review!

I want to know what do u think about getting a Si without the Navi system, cause i´m from mexico and the Si with that system will not arrive here, and i´m choosing between the Civic EXL or the Si, at this moment i have a Lancer GTS 09, but i´m getting a new car, so what do u think about those ? :)

That's really up to you, our editor-in-chief cannot drive without the satellite radio but if you don't need it than skip the navigation package entirely. Honda does offer the Sat radio as a dealer accessory but at $400 dollars, it's a pricey option again.

How firm is the suspension compared to an fr-s? I'd like something sporty that won't destroy my back over bumps like the fr-s does.

Is the body roll more controlled than the 2012 si?

how does this car drive with ac on? I have a 05 rsx type s and its a pain in the ass to shift when my ac is on.

Great review, made my day when you said that the door panel stitching is the way to distinguish between the coupe and sedan....I thought for sure it would have been the 2 extra doors hahaha

did you notice any rev hang issue? where the revs sometimes take a couple of seconds to return to idle?

Was this area on Waples Mill road or Hunter Mill?

is the key still the same as the 8th gen and the 2012 model?

I like how you did this review camera wise. You should do it for all or them.. It may take more work, but it's worth it and doesn't bore the viewer

How's the driving position and headroom for someone around 6ft? I hear a complaint about that and wonder if it's been fixed or if it's just the coupe and not the sedan.

Salamat Sofyan Bey :) Love the videos...I have a 2012 Honda Civic Dyno Blue Pearl..great car!!

Supposedly, the 13 model has thicker sway bars but we didn't really notice. Only thing we did notice was the reduced road noise.

this is a noob question, please bare with me. I thought the 2013 model had chrome in it's front end and the rear tail lights are different. Does the 2013 coupe looks like this? I dont know much so that's why im asking.

great review! the Civic Si looks great!

Great review! Is there any chance you can do a review on the Mazda 6?

Much higher quality!!! Awesome intro....BTW put your name in title I only watch your reviews

whats the name of the song at the beginning of the vid?

So, for a daily driver in an urban area, which would you recomend. 2013 GTI or 2013 Si Sedan? I keep going back and forth on this .

How's the oversteer under acceleration which I'd common with front wheel drive with limited slip?

It may be under-powered in terms of the numbers, but the lighter weight of the Si allows it to keep pace and be even quicker than some competitors. 0-60 in 6.1 secs according to most test, place it just behind a Speed3 and ST which do the same sprint in 5.8-5.9 secs.

Im debating between this civic si or the 2014 scion tc can someone tell me which is a more fun, better, cheapest in parts and overall the best for taking it to a strip or track for alil more fun

you can turn off stability control or traction control?

Do you have any problems shifting into 3rd gear occasionally?

Where you in vtec mode from light to light?

I noticed that Civics (maybe all hondas) steering is very sensitive. I drove my cousins 2007 civic coupe and the steering was super sensitive, every movement I made...the car did the same. I am coming from a 2001 BMW 325Ci, looking into an Si...any other suggestions to compare with this car? and mine? Thanks!

Hi it's me again ur pal in Springfield. Can you tell me how quiet this is compared to the GTI? I love the si but when i tried the 2012 model the road noise annoyed me. Please tell me how is the road noise. I know they improved it for 2013 but is it enough?

Best review yet guys the i-vtec shift lights come from the old civic type r fd2

wow nice ride.....wish to have it someday....wonderful........... keep it up always for a very wide series of review......... i like the sound of the engine......

sofyan, so what car are u gonna get the civic si sedan or the gli?!?!!

was the steering hydrolic or electronic? and my fav si is the 99-00 em1 also the ep3 (euro type r) but id prefer the em1 because its cheaper and harder to find (clean title) is the new civic equally as fin to drive or better? because they bombed it on the 2012 si coupe.

Do you think its a good car for someone who is learning how to drive a manual ive never drove one

Will you being getting the new Civic Type R to test?

And what about rev hang? They didn't fix that I'm assuming either. You'd still haveta get the hondata ecu?

My boy has one and I’m wondering if I should save up for the sedan model especially for my first car.

Any idea how the 2014 will be, is it worth the waiting or shall I just go ahead and get the 2013 instead.

does this have a reverse lockout?

What is a hell holder feature for clutch 14.12

Getting in a groove!

You make an excellent point, however, keep in mind American cars are built to a much higher standard today vs.10 years ago when the Neon SRT-4 was out. Reliability is still unknown for the Focus ST but it's initial build quality is much improved vs its predecessor, the SVT Focus.
