2022 Honda Civic Si Sedan - POV Review

Okay, let's put cars aside. We have to admit that sometimes it is so relaxed by just watching Topher driving! Excellent driving skill, Topher!

I may wait until the model refresh. This doesn't have fog lights and other options that the Canadian one has, and it sells for cheaper up in Canada too. So, yes. The US version has less options/features for more money. I'm hoping that the model refresh will roll in those added items. That fuel economy sounds very good though!!

The Civic Si should never be overlooked~ Yes, you have the Honda Civic Type R which is a very sporty vehicle, but I feel like some people do not give the Si the credit it deserves. I've always loved Honda manual transmissions, I think their transmissions are the best in the business, and the Si is definitely no slouch. I just love the Civic lineup in general, and you can never go wrong with a Honda Civic. These things are bulletproof for years.

I have this Civic Si 2024. It's great if you have kids. I've had many cars, SW20, AE86, Evo X, 90s Sentra, then switched to trucks and Suvs. I had to get a new daily driver and bought a 24 Civic Sport 2.0 automatic trans at first. I returned it for a different Civic, test drove a 2.0 hatchback touring and then my Civic Si. I ended up with the Civic Si, because it reminded me of my Evo X. Not as fast as my Evo X but ride is more comfortable and quieter in this Civic Si. I'm a Toyota fan and wanted the GR86 Trueno but wouldn't work for my small family in the case of emergencies. It's a great daily, good for long drives on freeway, good gas mileage, good sedan body because the HB gets water in the trunk when it's raining. Overall so far I love this Civic Si.

Problem is, the GTI, and damn near everything else at this point, is considerably quicker. We're talking a full second quicker to 60, and 7 tenths in the quarter mile, in the case of the GTI vs. this new Si. 🤷‍♂️ If the car is marketed towards enthusiasts, acceleration certainly matters.

The rev hang isn't because of the flywheel, I heard its because of the emission standard. The gas needs fully leave the engine before shifting so it doesn't create excess pollution, meaning that the car automatically will stay on the gas a little before shifting.

Rev matching yourself is the best part man.

[@EctoPlasmic]

Hey Topher which would you recommend? This SI or the GR86? They are both approximately the same price here in Canada. No family to worry about, just me.

[@pinkmolly5660]

I would go with the 86.

[@joseperalta8605]

Honda over Subaru

[@DB-sd3cw]

GR86 if you want a real sports car, Si if you want a fun practical daily driver.

[@EulogizingSleep]

86 holds its value better and is a better driver. It’s shifter is far better and rev hang really isn’t noticeable.

[@kpokfposkf]

33:15 test drive both, personally I won't take the boxer engine over honda reliability

[@jouster8313]

The first car I ever purchased was a 2007 civic si. I loved it. High revs and had no problems up until I sold it at 97k miles. I than leased a 2015 and 2018 WRX. So I’m looking forward to your review on the new WRX, with its twin-scroll turbocharger. Than I will decide what my next car will be.

[@1anre]

Was the WRX like a downgrade to you coming from an Si?

[@meryuk]

When you love driving 😊

[@suttonsplash14]

I appreciate the fact that you tap your shoes together before you get in the car lol clean and tidy style

[@discreetvlogs8683]

Who else got car sick? 🤣 Topher out here doing some touge racing 💯

[@TheTopher]

I made myself a bit car sick 😂

[@JTube571]

You guys wouldn't like riding in my Elantra Sport on my local touge. lol

[@Kons213]

Called three dealers today - $10k in markup + $5k in garbage accessories. Out the door - $47K. Definitely not a bargain, at least right now.

[@nyquilp]

I find it hard to believe anyone would pay that much money for a Civic Si, anything above 30 is absurd imo and I'm being slightly generous

[@JeanV1986]

Wow I didn't expect that! What a hoot! Very nice sound, and it seems so composed and nimble at the same time. But...here in Europe, we never had the Si version, only 1.5t 182hp and type R, and guess what, with this new 11th gen, we will only get ONE( yes, you read correctly), ONE engine option, and that is a 1.5 n/a engine with hybrid and about 129hp and cvt .Yes, seriously. Thank you green bullshit, you completely killed the car industry.

[@-thetellyou-1445]

Wow..

[@jesseramos8906]

Wow great love the way it drives can't wait to get mine in a couple of days

[@alexp6409]

Really interested in trying one of these out to see how it feels compared to my 2018 Accord Sport manual (1.5). The Accord isn't bad but there is a disconnect or inconsistency in the clutch and/or engine, which makes it really hard to drive smoothly.

[@alexp6409]

Update…I now have a 2023 Civic Si in sonic gray pearl and it is SO MUCH BETTER than the Accord in every way other than back seat and trunk space, insurance and gas cost 😂

[@juelz4516]

@@alexp6409good to know thanks for coming back and telling us as I was curious as well! I have a Blue one myself with the Yofer body kit!!

[@podemous]

I would never be able to drive like that in mountains.

[@one2tumble]

The main thing I’m disappointed about is not having dual climate. It also would have been nice to keep heated seats and steering wheel

[@danebezemer6336]

Come to Canada, the new SI has both and a full digital gauges display for our version. I don't know why they took them away for the US version though, unless if it is just for the southern states.

[@one2tumble]

@@danebezemer6336 I also hear the Canadian version is cheaper than the US spec car

[@2004cyrus]

Just have your passenger open a window like the generations of the past had to do

[@youraveragejoe1]

Interior looks much better!

[@SpinachLeaf]

So hondata just dropped a Dyno video and it seems Honda underrated the the Hp and torque. It's makes 222 hp so I guess they did it to make room for the Integra.

[@RaY_77W]

TO THE WHEELS

[@josiahp77]

I was waiting for an Integra review, thanks!

[@BlessedParty]

Who else was annoyed with the backpack placement 🤣

[@TheTopher]

✋me lol

[@digitors]

More annoying is missing spare 😀

[@CraftyJoel]

Does anyone know what that beeping means when he closed the door? Mine does that all the time and idk what it means

[@spencerlorrigan]

Sooo happy with what I see int he new civic line up in general! looks like a real winner. But if I were in the market, the fact that the SI isn't available as a hatchback would be 100% a deal breaker for me. No available heated seats or heated steering is super sad for a brand new car too. If I didn't have cold weather to deal with, I would just get the GR86 anyway. Of course if you actually need the backseats regularly the 86 is out of the question. Veloster N has the same problem with no heat options, even though the non sporty ones have it. And both cars come standard with heat features in Canada, at a lower converted price. Why do foreign car companies think that we don't have cold weather in the US?! Total rip off. Super and about it. Next time I buy a car I may see if I can go buy it in Canada and drive it 20 hrs back if needed. Sorry, rant over

[@awebuser5914]

The Si hasn't been a hatchback in the North American market for a dog's age! The Type-R (if it comes) will use the 4-door hatchback platform.

[@RacingChai]

Finally!!! Topher reviewing new Si!!!

[@VarioFelce]

fake sound is really bad

[@jeffreyher2658]

I've been waiting for this video!!! Thank you Topher!

[@frankenelimtangco2400]

Fake sound 😬

[@fathersnes9976]

Great review/ drive. Love hearing your thoughts on these cars. Keep up the good work bud.

[@SammyBeltre]

they made the Canadian version of this car so much better yet its like a grand cheaper

[@mrcawfee.]

Yeah I would 100% pick this up if it had the fog lights, heated seats, and indicators on the mirrors the other things aren’t as important to me personally
