Ignore the specs! It's better than you think!---2018 Honda Civic Si Review 

I have drive 8th and 9th gen and I have to say I really don’t understand how this 10th gen gets soo much hate. It’s perfect and continues to be a drivers car for the person that needs a commuter for work. It has power where you want it unlike the 8th and 9th gen that you have to rev out to get power. Also the chassis is ten times better than 8th and 9th gen. Honda is going in the right direction with the si. Getting that kind of fuel economy while still being fun I couldn’t find a better car for me. Great review.

I love the comments. People complain that you can't get leather or power seats or automatic transmission, etc. Do you people know the history of the Si? Do you realize that power items and leather, etc add more weight? This car is a freaking marvel for the low price it commands. It's less than $25k for crying out loud. Name me another NEW car for under $25k that has over 200 hp, about 200 torque, weighs less than 3k lbs, has an adaptive suspension setting, a great sounding factory stereo and one of the best manual transmissions in the business. BTW, watch stock dyno run videos on this car. The power output on this engine has been low balled by Honda, meaning it makes more power than the numbers it publishes. And if you want to go faster, tune it. Oh and it gets 38 mpg highway. Wtf more do you want for the price?

rev hang is not dependent on the transmission. It is a feature programmed to the ECU. It is implemented in modern vehicles to improve emissions.

I bought my Honda Si from Honda of Fort Worth back in September. I bought the Coupe (red) but wish I had waited and gotten the blue Si like you test drove. A note about Honda of Fort Worth. I had been speaking to "Frank" over the phone a few times before I went to test drive one. Frank was a joy to talk to and very helpful. When I went to test drive one, I ended up with a guy named "Ben". I have to say to it was one of the worst experiences I had buying a car. I told Frank and Ben that I was paying cash for the car many times and Ben kept trying to get me to finance one. I had just had hernia surgery and I ended up going back and forth with him for over 4 hours. That should not have happened. At one point - 3 hours in - I was going to just leave. When I was at Ben's desk, he kept getting up every 5 minutes and leaving me there for long periods of time. I did not like him from the beginning. One time, I went looking for him when I was going to just leave and he was playing "Solitaire" on a computer around the corner. I almost lost it. I'll put my questions in another post.

I wish it came with a lever handbrake. I dont really like electronic

This is a great channel, keep up the good work!

The Si and Type R is more than just a difference in HP

Loved this review. Thanks.

is there any way to retrofit a true handbrake, not this push button electronic stuff that only works when it wants too?

Great review!

Great job!

Ill keep my 8th gen si

Great review sir! Can you please make a video on how you get press cars?

I have the 2018 civic si coupe in energy green. Its fast. I love it! Great car. Best car I've had. I wish my car payment was cheaper but I can afford it. I have it in energy green pearl. Great video.

Got the 2017 SI and this is my first manual car. Love every bit of it just wish it had more power...

VERY HELPFUL REVIEW , thank you very much.

I really wish the Si came in hatchback form. I much prefer the look and functionality of the hatch over the sedan or coupe.

I liked the shifter knob's look but too small for me, I can actually make a fist while gripping it. The rev hang is programmed in the ECU.

Good Review, Thank You.

I have an 18 4 door Si and absolutely love it. It’s so dam good.

From my experience, Just to comment on the clutch and why it feels weird. It's a combination of a very high bight point and rev hang. And on top, since it doesn't have much feel you don't tend to not notice it. Once you get used to it though, it's acceptable. The amazing shifter makes up for it to me.

Can u just press sport mode and hop right into it, or do u need to be at a stop and wait for everything to set up?

Great job on filming!

Thank you for the best review for the 2018 Honda Civic Si Review. I am planning on buying the new 2018 in also that blue color. I have loved honda and I owned a previous honda SI in 2000 and I loved that too, but I then had a little family, a husband and 2 dogs so I am now driving a 2016 Ford Flex Limited, but am missing the manual gear, so I will save some money cause my ford flex is paid for by my husband, and he also agrees that we should get a smaller vehicle with at least some more power and more fun to drive. I have 2 miniature dachshunds so the big vehicle is just too big. Although, I will be buying the 4 door sedan on the SI instead of the 2 door. Again, thank you for the AWESOME review, as you have sold me to buy another one of these Honda Civic SI Models again.

Coupe looks great. Wish to heck they made the sedan rear end look like the coupe without the huge fake vents.

I test drove the top spec one in Australia VTI -LX which is vtec and turbo and was disappointed. .. i owned a dc2 so i was excited to get the civic. . I couldn't wait 6 months for the new type r so i ended up buying a different car. The civic was just a cruiser and didnt put the power Down when flooring it. I had mind set of buying it already before going for the test drive. I put too much hope and expectations in and was so sad after i drove it. Loved the shape and features but was let down by the engine... it just didnt feel sporty enough. I had to compromise for something else instead as i needed a daily driver because i wrote of my current beemer. If only the type r was avaliable then i would of been driving in one.. it was a dream of mine to have a vtec turbo honda and this was just a let down. .. i expected something better than the dc2 or dc5 with the civic lx. The civic should have been at least 150kw plus which would be more attractive to the younger crowd with its aggressive looks and styling... looks like a rocket but embarrassing if you take someone at the lights. A second hand 335 bmw that has 100kw extra power that cost about the same as a new level entry civic would be better. Im not knocking this car its just the styling is too much for what it outputs... makes it look like a ricer rocket,;there's just too much going on with the fake plastic bits. Honda made cars that were appealing to all ages in the 90s and all the models were good catering to all tastes.

Love ur view, came from comment from soyfan's vid... ," I just wanna be popular" Bro u have lotz of subs

Def gotta get my hands on one of these for review! With a tune it may be a better deal than the Type R

What size are your feet!? I have an 8th gen and can rev match easily but the brake and gas pedal are so much further away in the 10th gen I can’t even do it lol

I see it has the brake stop but does the Si have: Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) ?? These are major features i'd like to have.. and especially for a 2018 and Si model

Is it possible to get one without the spoiler? :(

whats a better value. civic si or accord 2.0t

Great review Bro, keep it up. I've been waiting for this thank you so much.

Yo whats man I live in the DFW area as well. I went to Huggins Honda NrH for my modern grey si sedan :) . I love this car more than I thought I would, and as for those worried about the power , a down pipe and tune will get you near 300tq at the wheels

No turbo vtec ....why?

I'm just gonna comment on every video that I sure do miss the 3 door lightweight hatches of 2000 and before.

I've been in the market for a 2018 Honda Civic si and was wondering what type of fuel you put in it. I know the owner's manual states that the car should receive premium, but can it take regular? Furthermore, I think the car has a knock sensor that changes the ignition timing caused by the difference in the fuel quality. Still, I would like to eliminate knocking altogether to preserve the engine.

What gimbal did you used?

they still do those vinyl pinstripe lines on the sides down there? omg this is so 1989...my dad had them on his ford tempo.

Whats the 2018 and 2017 difference then ?

My future car

What does the nav. system look like? Living in a hot climate I know those metal shift knobs can turn into fireballsi impossible to touch.

k24 for life

Exellent 👍👌

How good does this car handle going up an incline? I've only driven stick on older cars, but I know a lot of modern stick cars have Hill Start Assist or Hill Descent Control or something that supposedly makes going up and down inclines (especially in traffic) less scary. I like driving stick, but man oh man do I sweat a bit at some of these hills/ramps/bridges.

What do you think of LX coupe with manual? $5k less, no turbo lag, and fun to rev.

So honda si is a manual type car... Well as time goes by I may afford to buy it since Im still in college

Hey there, thanks for the review. Considering both the Civic and Mazda 3 right now, and I'm wondering which car did you find better in terms of driving dynamics and performance?

Last generation Civic Si's front bumper + Type R's hatchback design and power, rest of the car current generation Si.

Wow. Looks better than the Type R!

Pfff i live in europe how can i get this car.....

Did you put it in neutral and coast to a stop? Goodness...do you drive a standard transmission much?

Hondata Flashpro or Ktuner Eliminates rev hang

I want this car

That is one fine ass of an automobile. Too bad I already have the 2017 Touring version.

It’s the same thing as 2017 nothing has change.

I want one. Same color, but 4 door.

First thing you did was get the color wrong. Not Argent Blue, its Aegean Blue.

Having reviewed both the Mazda 3 Hatch (MT) and the Civic SI, which would be your preference for daily driving?

Whats the difference between the SI and the RS?

no 9 gen will trade

Nice car, but this car needs some led or hid headlights!

If anybody who owns one of these can comment on the reliability of the SI then I would appreciate it. I'm considering one of these but I'm not sure yet.

I am always getting a stick shift unless it is a super car.

The thing I really dislike about Honda in general is that they offer their performance models without any of the luxury amenities - leather, radar cruise, power seats, led lights etc. etc. Why not have those as options? I bought a Mazda 3 GT hatch fully loaded, happier even though I have less power. I'll take a second slower to a much much more luxurious car vs the Si.

That's Huggins honda I think not Honda fort worth.

What is arjen blue? It' Aegean blue. Like the aegean sea, buddy.

Don't you mean 2017 si? Haven't heard of a 2018.. Yet

north east texas honda dealers are the worst. notice the shitty pinstripes? they all add that and charge you for it. looks terrible and give it a year or two and fade to shit

I subscribe to Texas RU-vidrs!

Blue stitching would of looked nice in the blue Si

Gonna put 10k down on a white 2018 si this weekend. Hopefully I can talk the dealer to below a 250$ a month payment. Last time I checked my credit score it was over 750.

This car does have a spare

I have one, best car I ever owned. It’s the first car I ever owned

Lol

The front really digs in the corners😂 65% weight in front and FWD. oops.

Dodge charger look? Bruh

Nice video but it’s not a coupe.

For a car that’s supposed to be a “top of the line model” why no leather, power seats, blind spot monitoring or any really nice features? Better of getting a GLI or GTI. The interior of this car just screams cheap and cost cutting. On top of that it makes less power than the GLI.

VTEC or GTFO

Typical small turbo engine...power drops off after 5K.

No vtec smh in my opinion accord is winning as far as being better car

The rims are ugly AF!

All the hate from people who don’t have the newest. Mines better blah blah. Yours is not better I promise.

I drove this car nothing like what this guy is talking about . Fakenews

SI is junk.
