2022 Honda Civic Si after 13,000 Miles - Ownership Experience (POV Binaural Audio) 

Hahha I was waiting for this comment. I need to start using my index finger 😬

No need to change it, flipping everyone off has it's charm hahaha

I don't really miss the handbrake. I have an E-brake in my A6 C6 and it's very well made. I only have to press it once, when I stop driving and never worry about it. In my A4 B7 it's a pain as the handbrake is a little loose and I have to move my armrest out of the way every single time I want to use it.

You guys also got shift lights too, iirc.

@@Stargazer1331 that’s true but that’s also present on the Tye R. Just talking about stuff you end up losing.

I can see why you’d want the HEATING features of the Si, given where you live. I’m not saying that southern Canada is nothing but cold (as some people seem to think), by any means, but I did visit Montreal once, when it was -30 degrees Fahrenheit! It was COLD! Fortunately, the next day the temperature rose to about 30 degrees… 60 degrees warmer.

@@Stargazer1331 If a car had shift lights, that couldn’t be turned off, that would be a deal breaker! I don’t need a machine constantly nagging me to do something its way, when I know what I want MUCH BETTER… Besides, shifting and making road decisions keeps me awake!

My BMW starts every time, too, and furthermore, it has not only never broken down in 50K miles, it hasn’t cost much in repairs, either (a set of coils, the oil filler gasket, that’s it). I bought it at 11K for $22,750, and feel like I got a pretty good deal!

is Si the name of the RS model in USA or smt ? never heard before this moment about "Si"

@@Microphunktv-jb3kj have you heard of a search engine called "google" before?

@@Microphunktv-jb3kj Si is much superior and it’s an actual sporty variant. More horsepower than RS and a 6-speed manual LSD transmission. On the other hand, RS is kind of a sporty trim variant which comes with the same horsepower like other variants and a CVT.

@@Microphunktv-jb3kj Si seems to be more powerful than an RS. Never heard of an RS before. Si is sporty and maybe could be considered a stepdown from a type R since it's performance/sports oriented and only comes in manual.

@@Microphunktv-jb3kj the civic si in the us comes with the 1.5 turbo with 200hp not the regular civic motor

This makes me feel better about myself haha...my friends give me so much flack about how much I drive!

I bought a Civic Sport Touring in April that now has 12,000 miles on it. It was used with 750 miles on it. Original owners didn't like how low to the ground it was so they traded it on HR-V. We got it for $1000 over MSRP. Not an SI but we're happy with it. Only getting 36 mpg.....

@@TedwardDrives Cars are ment to be driven. If you take care of it, miles are just a number.

It’s cause you are the original Tedward. This Tedward is a fake! A Phony!!!!

I saw a Type R yesterday which cost $53,000 sticker (that had $5,995 regional markup). This was $29,100 (I actually paid $31,030 with their add on maintenance they forced on me.). I just couldn't bring myself to pay that much for FWD.

I heard it is fairly difficult to find a new 2024 Honda Civic SI, did you have any struggle finding one? Or were you on a wait list?

@@michaelsherman2811 I had to drive 100 miles to a different dealership to get one. Very happy with the car now at 3500 miles.

let them overlook fr,, makes it more special

It's hard to overlook it when it is so damn ugly.

@@TheHomeExpert5 how long were u at the orphanage

@@Scotty-vs4lf😂😂😂😂😂

@@skywalk78none94 i dont even remember writing that lmfao. im so glad u just gave me a notification so i could relive it

Just put 800 on mine. I love this car LOL

I got my Integra about two weeks ago, and I love it! I came from a Fiat 500 Turbo, and that's a big change. But to have a car that's twice the size, and gets the same (so far better) fuel economy is fantastic. couple that with better ergonomics, and some of the best seats I've ever sat in, and I'm one happy camper.

@@andrewallen9432 Did you also drive a SI before buying the Integra? And did you get the manual?

@@t.k.morris I did not. I couldn't find any that were remotely close to my area. So I test drove the Integra and ordered one about a month later. And yes I got the manual! Great car, and after 4 months of ownership, it's only gotten better.

What was your car before that? I'm curious because that's what I'm thinking of getting also

Same here. I have the Sport Touring Hathback and wanted an Si. I ultimately chose the ST Hatchback because it was cheaper than an Si with these stupid markups.

I got the 2022 ex-l hatch I like it, wish they had a si tho

@@seanpark3106 2001 Honda Accord V6. I really miss the torque, but it’s sure nice to be in the modern era. The new civic is seriously smooth, and the hatch is super convenient

@@BeansEnjoyer911 oh nice, enjoy your new car I hope I can get mine soon

how is it? i wanna look into it and i was just wondering how much your paying for it

@@zuki2815 I do like it but I miss my baby (2013 Veloster Turbo) that was totaled by an idiot. I got it at MSRP. Only one dealer offered that initially as most were trying to go over to which I said 🖕

Thank you!

Glad you enjoy it!

I’m looking to get one within the next few months what are some issues you’ve noticed?

@@invisotron I’m extremely picky when it comes to cars, and I have not had any issues whatsoever(knock on wood). No oil dilution, literally zero issues. The only thing I can honestly complain about is the drivers side door arm rest gets a dirty easily. You’ll find a bunch of videos about it lol. Super easy to clean so not a real issue. At just over 9k miles now and haven’t had any mechanical hiccups, zero complaints. Car handles amazing and has enough power to get out of the way and makes it a blast to drive. Sure your not going to win drag races but it’s quick enough and the handling, chassis, transmission are flawless. I walked a 9th gen civic si the other day. So its not slow. Good luck!

That was my problem with the FiST too. I had one new a few years ago and at 6,500 miles I didn’t have a great feeling in terms of long term rigidity. That being said it was one of the most fun cars to drive in anger that I’ve ever driven. The Civic Type R I purchased after had a bank vault feel in comparison.

I’m really trying to find something to make me want to get out of my FiST… but I love the small size and claustrophobic-nature of it!!! And the handling feeling that comes with it. I lucked into finding a new SI at a no markup, MSRP only dealership near me (I was there to look at a used car but they had just gotten the SI that day and somehow no one had reserved it), and I wanted sooo bad to like it, knowing that many people would love to be able to get one at sticker, so I started the deal, worked out the terms, then backed out… because I realized I wouldn’t have been as excited/happy to get into it everyday as I am with my FiST. Yea, the interior in the SI is probably it’s best feature, and everything looks great and is laid out in a driver friendly way. And Just from the test drive i could see the gas mileage would be great on my commute. And I liked that It felt like a bit of a throwback in the sense of there isn’t a lot of unnecessary features and a lot of drive modes to pick from, both of which are also features I enjoy in the FiST (It’s just such a pure drivers car, no unnecessary safety features that enthusiasts don’t really want, no gimmicky drive modes) But to me the exterior styling of the SI is meh (I really dislike sedans though), and the engine felt less eager than the fist. Ultimately, since my Fiesta is paid off, I realized if/when I’m going to take on a payment, I want get at least a bit of a performance upgrade, which the SI simply didn’t feel like. And I realized I don’t want to be taking myself into a liking a car because it gets great gas mileage, which is basically what I was doing. Also, I test drove the SI immediately after test driving an Elantra N, and the Elantra N absolutely blows the Civic SI away…. It’s not even close tbh. I can’t believe people are actually paying more for the SI than the Elantra N after mark-ups… I walked away thinking the SI wasn’t worth a penny more than MSRP while the Elantra N could very easily be priced higher than it is and still be compelling Also, my FiST is at 80k and still going strong. I’m having some hvac issues (blend door actuators, common in the FiST) and an intermittent CEL issue with an EVAP code, but the drivetrain feels like it could go another 80k, and the interior has held up surprisingly well.

Thanks!

I think maybe once I have the Type R I'll have more to say about the type S

A lotttttt of work! Haha thanks for being there early in the game

I think it's a good idea to go with your gut and do your oil changes on your own schedule. The manual for my Honda says every 3250 for "severe conditions" which really only means a lot of stop and go traffic / idling / hot temps. The maintenance minder is easy to reset. My partner's Honda (which I don't monitor as closely) got to almost 8k miles since last oil change before its maintenance minder turned on.
