Direct from the 2017 Honda Civic Press Kit:
"The 2017 Civic Si Sedan and Coupe are the eighth iteration of Si, Civic's legendary, enthusiast-oriented Civic variant, whose roots in America date to the 1985 debut of the Civic CRX Si. The new Civic Si is based on the 10th-generation Civic platform, the most comprehensive and performance-minded remake in the model's 44-year history, and substantially advanced the fun, fast and agile nature of Si.
The 2017 Si Sedan and Si Coupe are the first Si models to use turbocharged engines, utilizing an upgraded, high-boost version of the 1.5-liter direct-injected and turbocharged new powerplant that made its U.S. debut in the 2016 Civic Sedan. The new Honda AP2 engine offers drivers more power and torque down low, with a minimum of turbo lag along with a fatter power band, compared to previous, normally aspirated models. All Si models come equipped with a slick-shifting 6-speed manual transmission.
The new Civic Si also benefits from the extensive remake of the 10th-generation Civic platform - which was benchmarked against luxury C-class competitors for ride, handling, steering precision and high-speed stability - and are further enhanced by Si-exclusive chassis tuning and engineering and Si-exclusive performance bits, including a helical limited-slip differential and new Adaptive Damper System and variable-ratio electric power steering. The upgraded performance capabilities of Si are matched by extensive exterior and interior upgrades that strongly distinguish Si from its more mainstream Sedan and Coupe counterparts."

This is the best review on this car so far. You actually properly explained what it drove like. Everyone else just focused on features and stats and finished with a piss poor generic " it's a great value" impression. You are the 1st reviewer that can't be replaced with a 5 second Google search. Congrats!

@bunbunson27
@bunbunson27 7 лет назад
to be honest, a fiesta st, focus st, civic si, or sentra ser fits. It just depends on features and brand name if thats your thing. Best way to find out is to go to the dealership and sit in the cars and test all the features and test drive them. All 4 cars are the same for a sporty beater, its only the little things that are the differentials.

@Membrane556
@Membrane556 7 лет назад
I think electronic parking brakes really should be banned for safety reasons as the E-brake traditionally was an emergency brake that you can use if your main brakes fail. I once saved a vehicle from a crashing using the E-brake when a brake line broke.

@roycezaro1998
@roycezaro1998 6 лет назад
Honest to god, what Membrane556 said. I love the fact that my car has a method of emergency braking that is fully mechanical, and does not rely on electronics to govern it. In a world where everything is becoming automatic/glass/electronic, some things just need to stay the same. Even the most advanced passenger airliners have mechanical methods of deploying the landing gear, so there's just no excuse for a family sedan not to have the same thing.

@andrewwilken9725
@andrewwilken9725 7 лет назад
jayjaylen75 I think Matt farah was saying a lighter flywheel would probably remedy the rev hang but from the sounds of it it seems to be a programmed thing. If that's the case maybe hondata will have a fix. Either way I just don't see these cars being as fun as say the 99-00 Si or 06-16 Si. There probably is a lot of power left in these engines with a larger turbo, but that is fundamentally opposed to what Si's have always been.
@bb5242
@bb5242 7 лет назад
Honda won't fix that, but a tune might. Changing a flywheel on a new car? You just voided the warranty.

1.5 is irrelevant when boost is introduced. Boost = displacement. For every 14.5psi, you double the atmospheric displacement and double the effective engine size of the engine. I'm an N/A guy, but you can't deny that turbos are the way of the future.

@GoDsSoN770
@GoDsSoN770 7 лет назад
No modding capability? Tell that to Vit Viper who's gotten up to 100 lbs/ ft. tq, and 60-70 HP over stock on just a tune, on the stock turbo. The car can be pushed beyond that, but the stock clutch can't handle the power. They're also working on turbo upgrades. Supposedly the car is making over 300 HP with an upgraded turbo in China.

@@johnbarron2698 So yes it does take a little more work as stage 2 yields around 280 ft/lbs torque and 240hp BUT with simple turbo swap/intake/stock catback &fueling/e85 PRL motorsports is making 365 HP!!!!

has anyone else noticed that a lot of these new cars coming out have good horse power but they don't tell you how heavy they are, it's the reason why these cars need more power , because they are fat 🙂👈

Engineering explained you are a God send to the car community. I hope you know that it's a blessing that you have found your niche using your mechanical engineering background. None of these reviewers go in depth as you. They review features or specs you do mechanical details. Great job and I am sure you will reach 2 mil subscribers in no time. However, price point aside which do you think is the better overall performing car. The Gti or Si? I am planning to pick up a refreshed mk7.5 model this fall. Test drove the 2017 gti se 6 speed manual and was blown away. My cousin has a 2013 civic Si. Pretty decent performing car but never really cared for honda except for the jdm type R's as I am from the Caribbean islands.

Jason, Jason! Great review as always. I've got an idea for a future technical presentation. REV HANG. These new manual trans cars are driving me crazy with Rev Hang. My recreational car is an old firebird with a chevy small block and a full standalone fuel injection system. The revs drop like a rock when I let off the throttle and so it's a blast to shift. I've experienced this rev hang in the new mustang GT and also a 2007 350Z. Can you talk about what the emissions control strategy is behind these floating revs? It's making these cars less fun to drive.

Why you hating on this car? It comes standard with a 6-speed and LSD! An LSD is an optional extra even on a Golf GTI, and isn't even offered on a Fiesta ST. Weighs as much as Fiesta, yet has more standard features than a fully-equipped GTI. And it's reliable. What's not to like?

@AC-lq4zw
@AC-lq4zw 7 лет назад
one of the largest reasons I believe they separated the epas motor is because the way almost all newer racks are designed. I make racks for nexteer (supplies steering components for many major brands) and almost all the newer racks are half ball screw half teeth. The tooth end is what is controlled by the pinion connecting to the steering wheel and the motor actuates a ballnut to assist in moving the rack. I'm glad they went with a ballnut as they have next to no slop (unlike a normal rack and pinion gear tooth setup)

Engineering Explained but the jdm 1983-85 12a turbo Mazda savanna rx7 made 165hp with a 1.1liter engine and 5 to 6 psi with no intercooler. why can't they improve the turbocharger efficiency after 30+ years?

TheAlex0903 the rx7 is a rotary engine. Of course it will make more power per liter than a cylinder engine. It's a completely different design.
@coolguy91975
@coolguy91975 7 лет назад
That's pretty good at a 2.5 atmosphere pressure. With the RPM, this engine would probalby make 90HP without boost, so the 205HP checks out well.

It's much better as a daily driver now with the torque lower down. I don't miss the VTech because I don't drive at 7000 RPM all the time. I've had a 2006 and the 2013 SI and I think this is the best one so far for 2017 and up. Now I have a 2019 Coupe in white and I love it.

I cannot understate how amazing it is that Carlos Lago, the longtime host of MotorTrend's "Ignition" is in the passenger seat of the car you're driving. He is trying his best not to make faces as you provide honest, uber-in-depth reporting on the SI. He knows how to take it around a track, but discussion of the components seems to be lacking at MT/Edmunds. At least in their videos. Lago should be taking notes.

Want something cheap in your price range? get a used 328i e9x with around 50k miles get a 5 year certified warranty will cost you in total 15kish. You will getting luxury, handling, and more power, and looks lol not a punk kid car.
