2015 Civic Si Review!- "Giggity" 

What about now???

Certain ones yeah like early 8th generations with that steep rake in the windshield that one motion profile is a rolling piece of artwork

TheSLAPTrain1 It should be yours.

Your old intro song at the video's begin

Slap and david you guys should do a clab vid forza or something oh and david should review your g35 that'll be awesome

#SLAPNATION

woah what are you doing here bro!!?

Perfect bruv 👌

They got rid of the reactive multi-link double wishbone in back so the handling suffers the eighth generation had class leading handling right out of the box this one not so much..

ER B Yeah but these hondas were always ridiculously light so yeah its not the same

ER B 3000 pounds. Used to be a lot lighter and the power hasn't really increased all that much over the last 15+ years

My s13 is around the weight of the Brz and frs

The EM1 Civic Si had 160hp and the new one has 205. I guess it hasn't increased that much but it's not like the new Civic Si is slower. It's faster, has more features, is better on gas, safer, nicer inside etc... Of course nothing will ever be quite as special taking the EM1 Si up to 8,000 Rpms and shifting but I think we need to stop comparing new Honda's to Honda's of old and instead compare them to cars it competes with today. Not many cars truly live up to their predecessors from the 80s and 90s (except maybe the Mazda Miata). According to MT, a 2014 Civic Si (same as the '15) does 0-60 in 6.1-6.2 seconds while the 2015 Turbo Focus ST does 0-60 on 6.5 with 240hp versus the Civics 205. The numbers don't always tell the whole story. For the record I'd still prefer an EM1 over the 9th gen Civic but I'm playing devils advocate in favor of modern cars in general. (Nostalgia) I have no doubts the 2016 Civic Si will impress with its turbo engine.

*Nostalgia often plays a role in why we look at things as being better in the past than they were. That said, nothing impressive about the 9th gen Civic IMO. I'm expecting more from Honda in the future.

The Civic with a K20 can hit 60 and 6.4 s*** the 2006 base model with a 5-speed can hit 60 in 7.7 ... Not super fast but an 8th generation fg2 will beat a brand new Honda Civic SI to 60 by over half a second....holla... 8th generation had class-leading handling right out of the box NA car of the Year motor trend coty the 9th or gen 8.5.. no sir

I see what you did there! Slaptrain1's intro song! Nice!

Slap train song David?

Yessir. Giving credit where credit is due for a friend.

ThatDudeinBlue nice!

You are my favorite youtuber!!! Theslaptrain uses that song in his intro

No...

Briantothegamer Yep! "Big Spender" by Carnage

Espinox Yep, I looked at the description to find out what the name of the song was, new subs always ask him;" David, what was the name of the song that you used for the-" and so on XD

Still uses....

Briantothegamer yes sir :P

if I was gonna get the 9th gen I'd get a coupe but if I got the 8th gen I'd get a sedan. I have a 95 civic hatch right now.

Jack Joachim me to live 2015 Si

Henry Kurek I know this was long ago but they are really only 2 inches longer, I love mine!

i love the 9th gen si. but i love my 10th gen 2020 si sedan waaaaaay more.

Jack Joachim i own a white fb6 lov it

The i3 is a travesty

Erin Daring The new Jeep Cherokee and Renegade are up there too.

Erin Daring The latest gen Camaro....fuggly as hell.

I actually don't mind the new Camaro. I just have a problem with boxy cars that are meant to look modern yet look.... like boxy children's toys.

Erin Daring Ya I here you there, I never did like the BMW I3 from the moment I seen the first picture of it. I don't like the first re-incarnation Camaro because it seem's like its trying way to hard but failing completely. The latest camaro's a little better they refined the shape just that little bit to make it less boxy. The Z28 model track monster is the best looking one IMO. I love the new stang, got to test drive one today...love it!

I have this car 2015 coupe in Taffeta white. Completely stock and 67k mileage. Currently thinking about an exhaust

I hope to get one soon before that comes into play, just not sure if I want a Coupe or Sedan.

It's the same shit as this one, no point on reviewing it

Dmax734 I have an 8th Gen they're not lol

It's the same thing as 05-08 mustangs and 09-13 mustangs they both look the same other than some projector headlights and led taillights. 8th and 9th gens look basically the same other than lights

I hear you but it would be interesting to see the difference between the high Rev 2.0 8th gen Vs the 2.4 9th Gen for a review 

Dmax734 don't think so buddy. The 8th gen civic Si has the best engine sound an on vtec range you'll definitely hear it. Not like the 9th k24. K20z3 ftw ; )

Car looks like shit xD

Caligrown92511 Your mom looks like shit

Caligrown92511 horrible cars

jamie mitchell The Civic? Nope, saying Civics are horrible is due to ignorance.

Lol that is fuggly

Yeah it's too busy

Agree with you....I have am FA5 Si and adore it....front end is perfect. These 9th gen front ends have very awkward headlight & grill tapers & those fog light surrounds look like they're glued in. If I had a 9th gen. First mod would be a more minimalist front clip with an hid retrofit. IMHO .

TheBuinessZ I actually like the front... it looks aggressive.

Coffee please I'n my opinion it has too much going on. Make's it look 100% rice and I'm a muscle fan myself.

TheBuinessZ The black ones don't look awful, kinda hides the strange black pieces around the fog lights and grille.

YEESH!!!!

This made my day XD

Made my day as well

Ryan Jung I'm just waiting on him to post a video that's just like David's. Nigga you know I'm playin'!

Guess that never happened XD

You can follow me on ig till we get time to do the video @madhatter_em1

me too!!

I use a beer coozie over it. works pretty good.

matt1315s one day my friend....one day lol

I would rather get a used G37 honestly you can get a nice one for 25k and you get over 300hp Just my opinion.

matt1315s Used cars are always a better value.

Tyler Anderson The day has come. Just buy a type R when they come out or a used s2k

***** That's true and the Honda does have more torque being a 2.4L. But of course the FRS can drift!

David Mudrik I'd love too, but no owners have let me yet. Denied. haha.

ThatDudeinBlue Dang, well i'm sure someone will in the future. Time will tell.

Have heard those things? Me neither. lmao

ThatDudeinBlue I can tell you what your Model S review is going to be like. You're going to floor it, and realize how weird/scary/exhilarating it feels to be pushed back into your seat by a car that makes no sound. Then you'll spend 10 minutes trying to explain the feeling to people who've never driven a Model S. But they'll never understand until they experience it for themselves. Lol.

David Mudrik Please no,

Haha I've got a 13 so and I agree with you. Great car for a daily, and maybe would lower it. But only about 1.5 inches lower and nothing more.

PhoenixNFA Vahag Chakerian Get Eibach Prokit springs and your all set. Iv'e had them on my 13 si for a year and iv'e never scrapped. It's about a 1.3"-1.5" drop.

'13 owner here... Yeah the reverse thing is annoying.. But at least you can put it into reverse while the car is still rolling... My Mazdaspeed3 you had to be at complete stop.

JPalm weird...mine you have to be COMPLETELY stopped or it will grind for days

Yeah when I first got my si I was going about 5 mph and put it in reverse.... Thought I broke the car

Slow A'f

Clean as fuck? You might need to get your eyes checked.

me too man I love my eg!

He'll ya I have a few vids on my Channel of mine and I'm only 12 lol

I have one too! Great car!

I've done a boosted B20 EG actually.

Ya but that was a sedan and btw that was my fav vid

ive never heard of the song the slap train?whats the artist called?

He's got it in the video description

i know i was joking cuz it sounded like he was talking about a song called the slap train

why are you winking?😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉

Haha idk

xXxWarrioRxXx80

Afeeq Hasan So do Singapore. Best of all, here, we don't have car thieves trying to jack Civics all the time. It's so unsafe for a Singaporean to drive a Type R into Malaysia and left it parked quietly. How would you explain about Singaporean's having their Type R stolen while at Malaysia?

Galleon Chua when?

Yup

You have one.. It's called a check engine light

Your dumb af

christian garcian *He's the dumb one, yet you can't spell?*

Not even close to rice...

Not really, I film Hondas all the time.

great job at being simple-minded... you clearly don't even know what "ricer" means

+ HJ Farooqi I wont argue that it has more than an S2000, but still you have to qualify it with "for a 4 cylinder." Of course, slap on a turbo and you wont have that problem anymore.

Robert Cary Lol my old 09 si would chirp seconds sometimes. Thats about it xD fun to drive around but not fast

HJ Farooqi Turbo 4

Congratulations *****​ you know how to start an argument with an ad hominem attack without knowing anything about me, lol. I'm well aware of the affect gear ratios have. Stating what the final torque to the wheels of a Civic is irrelevant to your argument. In fact, it could be used against you. That car takes a 4.77 final drive to achieve that number, yet a car such as mine, a 98 Mustang GT, originally came with a 3.08 final drive. In first gear, the rated output of 285 ft-lb becomes nearly 3000 at the wheels in first. I'm sure anyone with knowledge of a stock 98 Mustang would agree the Civic would embarrass it in a race desipite having more torque at the wheels. How could that be when the Mustang has more torque? Now a common upgrade is installing 3.73 or 4.10 gears in the differential. Final torque reaches nearly 4000 ft-lbs in first gear at the wheels. Does it make the Mustang faster? Not really. It'll feel faster, but the Honda would still beat the Mustang assuming it was otherwise stock besides the final drive ratio. Gearing matters, but it's more about getting the engine in to its optimal operating range faster. It has little to do with an assumption with it actually increases useable power to the wheels. If you've ever driven a gear swapped car, you'd understand that instead of trying to insult me and attempt to give some rudimentary physics leeson. Torque produced at the crank is more important than gear ratio because you can only give it so much gear before the engine runs out of rpm, of which the K24 has about 1000 less than the old K20.

*****​ your numbers on hp/ton are incorrect and do nothing to support your argument. What are you even arguing about? A stock 98 GT had 225 hp from the factory and weighed about 3300 lbs. A 9th gen Si has what, 205 now? With a weight of only 2850ish. They're both 15 second cars. I know the Honda would win because I lived it once when my car was unmodified a long time ago lolol. Even with gearing, the Honda wins. Swapping gears can only shave a couple tenths off 1/4 mile time with good traction. The increased torque from gearing is offset by the increased engine speed necessary relative to wheel speed. Try to cite physics all you want, but gearing the hell out of a car only goes so far. Would you consider a 4wd-lo range on an off road vehicle to be optimal for acceleration? Of course not because the engine speed is limited. While you now have increased torque to pull yourself out of mud or up a steep rock cliff, you can only do so at very low speed. Same thing applies to performance cars. You could throw 4.56 gears at an older Mustang if you want. You'll do great burnouts, but it still won't be fast until the powerband of the engine itself is improved. And you'll still lose to that Si, although it's lack of torque is assisted by its own gearing. This isn't because of gearing, but because it has a more useful powerband to generate power. Yes I do know that horsepower is a mathematical function of torque and rpm, or work and time since you seem to love perpetuating a knowledge of physics. Thank you.

Hater

YoungClickClack _Fanboy._

Lol I feel this dudes hate

How much hate can a hater hate lmao

lol i literally said nothing about the car other than mention that its inexpensive..

Dest Droid You must be living in a cave... The new Civic type R lapped the ring in 7:50 beating GTR's,911's,lambos,etc. All for 30k. They have a lot of hype. www.car24news.com/the-new-honda-civic-type-r-is-faster-than-the-nissan-gt-r-and-gallardo-lp-560-4/

That Car Guy the type r has hype especially since its finally turbo and coming to the US, not this ugly duckling, the previous gen si looked and seemed way better

That Car Guy I'm sorry I must've missed the Type R in this review.

Dest Droid It's still the same body styling and hence why people get them in the USA. USA might not get the type-r , so people will throw their own turbos on them. It's the next best thing for them.

Andrew Mckay They look similar to me. I haven't been a fan of Civics from 2001-2014(too heavy) but man when the new type R came out it came out swinging.

Because price isn't the only deciding factor when purchasing a vehicle.

Trey Young your everywhere

There's no way you went 300k miles without changing tranny fluid it would be slugde. And if you have then you abuse cars. If you really own a Honda with those issues it's probably because you can't drive and you abuse your cars. The auto's in Honda's is a real issue, they make glass automatics. far as I'm aware that's the only issue Honda's have had. They're still rated in the top 5 most reliable cars in the world. Ford isn't even in the top 10. Every Ford I've been around has had nothing but problems. We had a 90's thunderbird and that thing was constantly breaking down. parts were cheap and wore out quickly. Even with regular maintenance. I'm glad someone finally crashed into that piece of crap. Every American car my family has owned has been trash. Grandparents have a 2004 dodge pick up and it's had like 3 tranny rebuilds, it has a blown head gasket, only 239k miles. All my cars are JDM, no major issues other than regular maintenance. I have a Geo metro with close to 400k miles and it's never broken down. Engine has never been apart, original head gasket. I do have a Acura integra that needs a engine rebuild but it's not the cars fault. It's the way it was driven. It still runs and drives fine though, even with low compression.

But but but..... subie rumble :(

They finally updated the wrx engine. Sti still gets the scraps again.

Quasar aren't honda engines the butt jokes of worst sounding engines?? Stereotypes have some facts behind them.........

Honda for reliability. The ej's suck ass

Miguel Garcia how? You musnt really know the sound of a highcompression naturally aspirated 4cylinder ricer.

Yes they would. I have a '12 civic si and I'd rather have the newer si's than get an old base model civic dx and putting parts from the higher trim models

TheNuke95 nothing says "classic" like a 90's civic.

yeah 90's si or integra gsr or type r not the base models of those cars

TheNuke95 lol i know, but like you have your opinions i have mine. it's not like i think what you like is garbage. it's just not what im use to thats all

i said the exact thing to my dad the other day

It improves low end power too, I don't want to go into too much detail but having VTEC on all the time would mean worse performance and fuel consumption at low rpm, this is because VTEC, pushes a pin out when the desired oil pressure is achieved and activates the higher lift rocker, valves open more and this means more air and fuel can go in, also since its so easy to stay above 5.5k when driving on a back road or track and stay below it for normal town driving, I don't see why you would want it on constantly.

Dude👍 . Tell that that to a honda fan boy that'll shut him up hahaha

Chris Alfonso Everyone has VVT these days. VTEC isn't even the best kind, but it's good.

in vvt u barely can hear it i feel like honda just exaggerates it
