The Honda Civic came out in the early 1970's and is now on its 11th generation. It is one of the most recognizable vehicles on the road.
Every major car manufacturer has at least one bread and butter vehicle that they milk for all it's worth. Porsche has the 911, Jeep has the Wrangler and Honda has the Civic. They know they need to make one for everyone and the Si is the fun one! "Sport injected" in fact.
One thing that has made the Civic so famous over all these years remains intact in newest generation of Si; its still a great riding car that is a pleasure to use.
I call it the ultimate daily driver because its your "have your cake and eat it too" car. It's roomy, chalked full of practicality and injected with just enough fun to keep you out of jail. All the while doing it guilt free because of it's grownup looks and easier on the wallet ownership experience.
Come take a look!
Take a look at our Si vs 2014 Civic 5 speed manual comparison review next! • Now or never! | 2023 H...
*Please note that I am human and could be wrong on some of my “facts”, but still they give a good idea if considering the vehicle in your shopping.
I've borrowed this vehicle from Honda Canada (thank you!!).

As an American, I'm miffed how much they took out of the si, no all digital gage/shift lights, no wireless charging, no nav, no seat warmers....

@@2ZH I have MK7 and have a love hate relationship with it lol. It looks great, feels premium and drives awesome (even after 150,000km) but it has been a money pit. I want to get an Si but the interest rates are high and I heard there is a long wait. I'm assuming the Honda won't be like that

@@Neutralreviews ahh yeah, mine was a mk7.5. was paid off but I really didn't want to deal with the recall with no fix..... the interest rates are crazy high. But my understanding is they will go down in a month or two and I'm going to refinance to get it down. I was lucky enough that my Honda dealership had a Si in stock.

Just picked up my 2024 Civic Si in Sonic Grey. I am loving it.. I’ve watched a lot of videos with people saying the Si isn’t fast… it’s pretty freakin fast.. 200 horse power is plenty, especially when you’re coming from a car that only put out 140hp. Yes there are much more powerful cars out there.. but seriously… when are you going to be able to use all those ponies.. unless you are running your car on a track. 200hp… for me anyway is the perfect amount of of power without getting in to trouble.

@Neutralreviews 24 дня назад

Congrats and great comments. I think it feels plenty zippy and is one of my favourites cars no matter the money. So fun, practical and nice for the money.

I’m trading in my 10th gen this holiday for the new si. Wished I could get the type r. But whatever. The interior dash looks awesome. That was the selling point for me. Has a 70s vibe to the styling.

@Neutralreviews 9 месяцев назад

I can’t afford an R realistically but it would still like the option of buying one lol. The Si was incredible and I’m considering one myself. I think you will love it. And the dash is one of my favourite parts

@Neutralreviews 8 месяцев назад

@Daddarussiasandiegonews No. I’m in saving mode and the payment was so much more than my BRZ. I still think about it often and will consider for sure. I also like the WRX for similar and opposite reasons. I wish I had the money the buy the Si for summer, keep my BRZ for track and the WRX for winter. Congratulations! I think it is awesome and one of my favourites.

@@NeutralreviewsIn my areas as I was looking to get an Si but went with the Elantra N there is 9 2023’s and a couple of 2024’s. All of the Si’s still have their 8 to 10 grand dealer mark ups? Honda dealers are ruining Hondas reputation and as such you see Hyundai and some Kias taking that market share from Honda.

@eyedrz 9 месяцев назад

Love my Si but don't trust the auto steer feature. It works until it doesn't. If a curve is a little too difficult, it just turns off with almost no warming, unlike a Tesla which really warms you. All you get is a single quiet beep that is easily missed with the radio on with any modest volume. No visual warning. A dangerous oversight on Honda's part.

@Neutralreviews 9 месяцев назад

Great review of that safety feature! And I experienced the same. I haven’t driven a Tesla yet but am curious:)

@jcsjcs9777 7 месяцев назад

A 1.5 Liter turbo ain’t no bread and butter for me, I would prefer a 9th generation Civic SI with the K24Z7 2.4Liter V-tech. $37k is highway robbery for a new SI, this guy must work for Honda for saying $37k is bank for this car.

@Neutralreviews 7 месяцев назад

Ha! No I don’t lol. I definitely agree 37k is a lot of money but since most vehicles (and in my opinion not even close to as well engineered or featured avg 50k is what I mean. It is sad enthusiast vehicles aren’t being able to be purchased by who they were originally designed for. Vetch is awesome you’re right

@kennordsfan1494 5 месяцев назад

The highest Si in Canada here is 51 and the cheapest is 45 all with taxes. For a 37,000 dollar Civic! No thanks.

@jcsjcs9777 5 месяцев назад

@@kennordsfan1494 Also the 9th generation are way better made from 2012-2015 and if taken care of all the time with early oil changes it can easily go 400,000 miles possibly longer if you change other parts of the engine.

@kennordsfan1494 5 месяцев назад

@@NeutralreviewsThe Elantra N works for that and is cheaper than the down graded Si coming from a 2020 Si. I find the adaptive dampers really made my 2020 Si handle and drive everyday. I find this new Si is nice a better interior, a way better infotainment system the 2020 sucks and is so slow. I passed and went to the Elantra N with the DCT and wow never thought the auto would be as fun as it is. With the N being at 40 grand and no mark up and the Si at 45 grand MSRP in Canada here 37 grand? Really? That makes the Si a non starter in my opionion.

@user-sn1lu5yi6r 3 месяца назад

My personal take on the latest SI from a long-term and current Honda 2021 Accord Sport 2.0T. In the market just recently for a toy. A weekend runabout with power, handling and performance on a budget. The GTI, WRX, SI and Integra all were on the short list and all were very fun and pleasing to drive. In the end, I went for the 2024 WRX Sport-Tec (top trim in Canada 6speed) over the SI. The Civic was fun, peppy, very well built with a typical Honda smooth and buttery sweet manual. Great interior and very, very good handling. But it just wasn't that fun, enough at least. It's a bit normal, average in it's overall feel. Almost pedestrian and far, far slower than my 2.0T Accord with 253hp and 272 ft lbs of torque. The WRX felt more raw (obviously and typical of Subaru products), far quicker, far more tossable and just plain more weekend fun. If I were buying a toy as a dual daily driver with daily trips to the shit hole that is Toronto, then YES, I would have chosen the SI. But as a "fun machine" .....a toy ..... the SI is too slow, too conservative and too mundane.

@Neutralreviews 3 месяца назад

Interesting! Good points. I fell in love with the new Si after I reviewed it but I think I would go WRX too for similar reasons. I have a BRZ RS and I appreciate the rawness. My hope is to keep my BRZ as a fun second car and get a WRX manual for awesome all weather driving fun commuting. Still warming up to the looks lol but for the money there really isn't much out there like it anymore for the price point sadly.

@JJisARabbit 4 месяца назад

I know a lot of you have mentioned this so so so so many times. But still, I really wish this thing can run faster, maybe a lower powered 2.0T 250ph+- engine will fit better to this car. Also a pair of strong front brakes. I love the Si, but also feel sad when seeing other performance cars improved so much more than what the Si did…

@casey6518 3 месяца назад

Hey, you must be showing Canadian pricing ($37,593) for that 2023 SI, the USA SI price is $29.100 for a 2024! The next trim model above the SI is the Sport Touring in the hatch or Touring in the sedan! That's not counting the Type R for $45,000. I'm look at buying a 2024 Civic Hatchback Sport Touring, I want all the creature comforts of a loaded car such as remote start, heated seats, 12 speaker Bose system, sunroof & etc. I'm not interested in racing so I would have NO need for the SI or Type R! The SI only has 20 more horsepower that the standard 1.5 liter turbo in the Touring edition cars, that could be change with a chip programmer!!

@Neutralreviews 3 месяца назад

Canadian prices. Si here is our top trim which is weird. I haven't driven the sport but heard it was great, just a soft ride. Civics are a great car!! Good luck:)

@casey6518 3 месяца назад

Thanks, that's also weird considering all the sedans & the Touring Sedan for the US market are made in Canada & all the hatchbacks & Sport Touring Hatchback are made in Ohio! Well my reason for the Civic Hatchback Sport Touring model is I retired early at 55 in March 2022 and it would be my pleasure car, not a daily driver for work! The Hatchback has more of a sporty look & I'm also adding the rear spoiler for the hatchback model & the car will be in Platinum White Pearl.@@Neutralreviews

Sold my 2023 civic for a 2023 xse Camry v6 and it was hands down the best decision of my entire life. That cvt transmission is GARBAGE!
