Disclaimer: This video is not like one of those generic AMV's with a Civic Si racing other cars because you might think it's a sleeper, AND this video does NOT contain that many VTEC scenes. There are plenty other videos that do that lol... (Perhaps we'll throw one up later though :] )

Got me a 2008 Si Sedan back in December (2019). Funnest car I've ever owned.

[@kevinwhiting8391]

The fg2 is the best Civic.. It was north American Car of the Year and motor trend car of the year... 30 plus cars competed out of 12 judges 10 chose the 8th gen ♥

[@cornell833]

Im about to buy me a Honda civic 08 si Honda makes great cars last longer than Chevy

[@crisspitbikes360]

Just got my first si yesterday!!! Great car already!!! 74,000 miles

[@12371eric]

Thinking about buying one, looks great, decent power.

[@LGPanthers1]

As a 29 year old who's never owned (and still drives) anything other than my first car (08 Si 4-door) I can attest to a lot of this being true. Everything is accessible and usable, everything is spacious without being cavernous on the interior and nothing failed me except for the A/C compressor I pulled a shim out of @ 100k-ish miles just to stretch it to 108k. If the only major repair I have to do to a 21k car is a 1k compressor replacement over a decade and a half then I'm one happy camper. I wouldn't trade the 8th gen civics for anything.

[@juliansheppardyt]

Awesome video guys! We need more people like you reviewing cars

[@timothyhartwell9595]

Hey guys awesome review! I thoroughly enjoyed it. Gotta love our Hondas! :)

[@Golden_Magikarp]

i have this same car and have been driving it for a couple of months now and i absolutely love it.

[@bryangwk]

love this review

[@youngboyharless9769]

Great review btw, liked 👍

[@bobjo579]

Great quality video man

[@ITSONEKINDHERE]

Aye finally someone local. Nice video

[@bamaboyburns8079]

Got a 2011 si sedan back in September with 142k miles the interior is in excellent condition no paint issues but the fun factor is legit that vtec sings and pulls well decent on gas very reliable so far I recommend

[@Pharaoh_The_Great]

Good review!... I just wish it had more exterior aftermarket support, it don’t since it wasn’t really made in Japan like the Dc5. You should review a DC5 next though.

[@abc.garage]

The SI is definitely an impressive car

[@joebotz1243]

Love the sound of the 2 liter

[@futurepaver2039]

If I took a shot for every time you said "Buttery", I'd be dead.

[@RampartPh]

i have an '06 fd2 pearl white mica and i really love it

[@AmericanYeti]

Thinking about buying this car, if all goes well, should be my first car

[@anonymous-vm4nc]

Just got a 9th gen love it

[@ACarriere117]

Cool vid!

[@coreyburns2074]

I wasn't a huge honda fan but I did know they was reliable and overall a great car I became a big fan when i got my acura tsx

[@Kana0211]

Is there a front right wheel blindspot when turning on a hill? I drove a 08 es350 and that is big issue. Also is it hard to look out with that very slanted windshield? Traffic lights.

[@bige7186]

love my fa5 cuz I can take people in my car with no problems, 4 doors helps a lot while cracking vtec 😺

[@AndreasInGreer]

Wow, insurance rates are terribly high! I've had Allstate and currently have USAA - both are approximately $275 for approximately $275, including comprehensive.

[@792bnz]

I have a 2002 honda accord and my 5 speed is buttery smooth

[@JoseMunoz-eu3ck]

In my opinion the 9th gen shifts smoother, I love my 8th gen si to death but as far as shifting I’ll give it to my wife’s 9th gen si, I have yet to drive the 10th gen tho, at first I hated them, but now it’s like....meh 😏 I do enjoy my 8k red line lol

[@kevinwhiting8391]

There's something wonderful about the 8th generation it has a soul from the steering to the chassis that double Wishbone suspension is a must the new Civic don't have the same sound or precise steering and they don't look as good as the 8th generation Coupe

[@youngboyharless9769]

9th gen owner here, and I wish I could afford all the different gen Si's. I love this car, I'm an "Si" guy and my next car will be another Si. Either a old Fg2 or a new 18' coupe in pearl white. Every gen has pros and cons imo. It's not the perfect car.. But it almost is.

[@especiallysi5643]

agreed lol i want all the gen si's i keep switching it up i started with a 9th gen then a 18 now a fg2 gotta say fg2 is my favorite

[@youngboyharless9769]

@@especiallysi5643 nice 👌 if i found an 09-11 in clean shape with under 100xxx I'd hop on it.

[@especiallysi5643]

yea found a 08 with 30k miles cleanest one iv seen since they were new@@youngboyharless9769

[@youngboyharless9769]

@@especiallysi5643 mind if i asked how much you paid?? Cleanest I've seen around Tx is around 14k price and 50xxx miles

[@especiallysi5643]

$10,900 mine was traded in to a Honda dealer in Arkansas@@youngboyharless9769

[@kevinwhiting8391]

Best gen

[@Itsdjsigi]

8th gen si’s are the best si’s ever made, best daily/weekend car

[@johnbarron2698]

Bolt on for bolt on the 10th gen will wreck the 8th or 9th gen. But it will never feel the same as the NA vtec high revving engines as before.

[@Matscars]

I put my 07 civic si on my dads insurance. I’m 22, no accidents or tickets. I pay $48.13 in insurance thankfully!

[@Jose_bello_Jr]

I just got a 8th gen si from a evo X .. no lie I think I have more fun in the si even though i have half the power I had in the Evo!

[@Pharaoh_The_Great]

I definitely want an evo x along with my fg2.

[@123499893]

Insurance was lower for my 2006 zx6r

[@adanescalantevargas4014]

Where can i find that bumper with the fog lights?

[@MaxCaissie]

Junk yard

[@kevinwhiting8391]

Got a stock lx coupe 2006 lx coupe with 180,000

[@le.farquad608]

Buttery until you get the 3rd and 2nd gear grind. And PCV valves like to go sometimes. Although i do love mine except i took the decals off the side.

[@ELVTEC]

LA VTEC here

[@bamaboyburns8079]

Commenting again and I recently found out that these models are overrated they make about 180 to the wheels Which is about 220 to the crank

[@TheSilverSmitih]

I wish my transmission was buttery smooth, but it grinds in third. rip

[@josevaca9546]

Get new transmission fluid

[@bleachbottle6700]

Once you get a good amount of miles on it , you will notice the GRIND

[@bleachbottle6700]

Still love my FG2

[@cumberj001]

Hands down the 6th gen SiR is the best! I currently have a 09 Si as well.

[@camliddle804]

TechnoFreak 6ths gens are where it’s at. But I’m looking to get a 09 Si

[@markymark535]

How many miles

[@rackss5369]

I got my fg2 today 2006 179k miles for 3.5k!

[@User20184]

In my country you get this car for 12k LOL sht taxes!!!

[@lowlifeangler]

Honda are go carts

[@stevesran968]

I JUST BOUGHT THE EXACT SAME CAR I LOVE IT .ALL I HAVE DONE TO IT IS AFTER MARKET AIR INTAKE & EXHAUST & IT'S GETTING LOWERED NEXT WEEKEND. ..

[@jaymed5228]

Men that’s one thing I hate of USA those fucking ensurance company’s. Here in PR you only pay $195 only ones a year for ensurance but if you want a full cover yo pay maybe around 300 close to 400 but ones a year but the states?? Naa men its to much

Shit I got mine at 19

[@craigpatterson5991]

Those tires suck.

[@jp554731]

Honda is also known for making shit transmissions like the CL type s automatic and the craptastic Honda Odyessy transmission of the early 2000’s Don’t forget some of the transmissions in the early TLs and accords.. they were just as horrible as the CLs because some of the cars used the same damn transmissions. Buttery smooth they are not.

[@MaxCaissie]

Hand is known for making shit automatic transmission... Huge difference

[@jp554731]

@@MaxCaissie don’t forget their shitty 3rd gear pop outs on the 2nd gen TL Type S, RSX Type S and CL Type S

[@MaxCaissie]

@@jp554731 who cares man, still alot better than others transmissions that are out there, consider changing your mtf every once and a while and it's not an issue, people seem to think trans fluid is for life...
