2022 Honda Civic Si | Almost as Fun as Civic Type R?

[@KTH96]

Wanted a Si as a practical daily but they're hard as hell to find and the ones that were available were marked up. Got a WRX 2k under MSRP instead.

Thank you for a fresh take on a great car and value. Though I love my BRZ I can see the appeal of the SI’s enthusiastic practicality after I recently relocated to Seattle. This is back on my “thinking about it” list though a Mini Cooper with an automatic may be higher up due to Seattle’s traffic and hills.

Brz more fun but true civic way more practical

Si has hill assist it helps alot

Granted I tested this at 8,000ft elevation but I was underwhelmed by the power and I would recommend a Hondata as the first mod!

[@psewgobind]

I wouldn't want to put more power into that small eco-derived engine, but getting rid of the rev-hang would be huge.

[@CruiseControl1]

@@psewgobind This motor seems fine with the Hondata power with not much degradation in reliability.

[@psewgobind]

​@@CruiseControl1 True, just getting rid of emission negatives would be noticeable power gain. But, I still think K20 in my old 10th Gen Civic is a better engine, which could do continuous lapping without any drama.. If 11th Si had the regular K20 engine, I would have bought it instead of my Elantra N. Ideally, Turbo K20 (K20C1) would have made Canadian built Si the ultimate Honda (we can only dream)....but the Japanese are a prideful bunch.

@@psewgobind I had an 8th gen Si coupe in Blazing Orange Pearl with a k20z3 and I loved that engine and the manual was fantastic. A detuned or smaller turbo k20c with 250ish hp would be amazing in the new Si and would be a great alternative to your Elantra N.

@@CruiseControl1 Would be Cool since I've been a Honda fan boy since the 80s (started with a 85 CRX). I'm very impressed with Elantra N, but I've already bought 3 Civic brand new from Canadian assembly plant and those Civic are insanely durable. Seems like Honda is operating on pure ego and doesn't give a poop about the Canadian market.

Hey bud you forgot to mention one downside of this car : the dash of the car stop being legible at times like @ 3:05

[@psewgobind]

get rid of the ipad that's stuck to the centre of the dash, i'd love this interior.

[@psewgobind]

FWD have better balance then RWD in all situations, if they weight around 2500lb and have a double wishbone up front.

[@jubbalandcars]

This is false

[@psewgobind]

@@jubbalandcars I put 300k on my 1998 Civic Hatchback with upgrade suspension and not false for me.
