I Sold My 2022 Civic Si After 5 Months of Ownership | Here is Why...

[@HadEnough745]

If you want 39 MPG on the highway, you can't expect super high power. Bottom line is, these cars are OVERPRICED. It's a $26K car.

[@YoDooDSup]

Why are they overpriced? It gets 37mpg, amazing safety ratings, it drives itself on the highway, 6 speed manual and looks amazing and is reasonably fast for its class. The only reason you can’t afford it or barely afford it is because you voted for Joe Biden and he decimated our economy.

[@TOYOHYPE]

[@peterbruno2723]

If you have one and actually try things with it you will get something pretty sweet. I got everything you could possibly do so far for the 2022 si and I'm at 300 at the wheels and 320 torque. Once a simple drop in turbo comes out add another 50 to 70 hp over the range. I would say you made a pretty little fun car. And you don't compare to a 20 year old cobra mustang. That's the classic situation apples to oranges . They are opposites.

[@TheMGChannel]

That’s very nice, I just didn’t want to modify the car, first of all the clutch is weak, even with a tune it could slip, second if you modify the car you will actually void the warranty, again I didn’t want to do that, and I didn’t compared the cars, I just compared the feeling that you get behind the wheel, again that is just personal. That was actually my second Personal reason why I decided to sell. The civic does things that the cobra can’t and vice versa.

[@Dj_Not_Nice]

@@TheMGChannel your right about the weak clutch, Hondata said it could only handle 250 hp before slipping

You say the msrp was $27 and change but what was the final cost minus the 32? Did you brake even?

[@newt0n_]

Msrp out the door is going to be around 31-32 without any accessories. So ya he broke even unless he paid a markup on the MSRP originally. 27k is MSRP before 1000$ destination fee, dealer documentation fee, markup, tax tag and title 🙃

[@mathewhuff1157]

You compared a civic to a cobra. You are tripping. Te estas pasando no mms. The 2022 si will be seen as a future classic for what it is.

[@jonathansanjuan6267]

BRZ owner here and that’s the definition of harsh ride

[@j.r.b.5464]

That is CRAZY trade-in value. I can pick up a new Si locally (though I have to wait for it) at MSRP, and live in the highest cost of living area of the most expensive cost of living state in the US. I understand your "lack of excitement" comment. Let's face it, the Si doesn't have much power an is an ~7 seconds to 60mph car. From your video, though, it looked like you live in a fairly flat area (no mountains) with fairly straight roads. In that environment power is kind for unlocking fun and excitement. Throw in lots of twisty roads with steep plunges on one side, and there are fewer places where power matter as much as handling. I think this car was designed mainly as a weekend canyon carver with mundane workweek commute chops. Different tools for different trades as they say. Thanks for the video.

[@kevinbusher9223]

Where did you find one for MSRP?

[@j.r.b.5464]

@@kevinbusher9223 Bay Area, California. There are a handful of dealers in this state who are selling at MSRP (Hondas, Toyotas, etc.; just bought a Tacoma at MSRP and am waiting for delivery of a Civic Si also at MSRP), but the rest are price gouging customers. I'm sure every state has a few non-scumbag, non-profiteering dealers. I also hope customers in those states remember which dealers were scuzzbuckets and which were not after the supply chain problems abate. Gouging dealers deserve to be punished out of business by consumers just as soon as the current supply and demand imbalance corrects itself.

You may regret it later . That civic may not be a sports car but it can be tuned. Very popular car , now that Mitsubishi while it looks nice , gas will likely be $8 a gallon by the end of summer and the reliability is questionable. Good luck.

1st of all. The civic SI is not a sports car. It never had been a sports car. And your reference is a mustang Cobra! It's a 4 cyl at the end of the day! Look at the history of a civic SI. Your comparing a Non sports car to sports car! Go figure.

[@chodkowski01]

A lot of fees were left out.

[@chodkowski01]

You told us the msrp price but we all know by the time you add on tax, market adjustment, registration, warranty, financing and all the other fees you paid more than $32,000. Plus for someone who works at home and doesn’t drive the car your mileage doesn’t add up. I work at home also and I only put 1,400 miles a year on 1 car.

[@VidTubeWatch]

It's definitely a seller's market. I like that Civic Si. You made the decision that you felt was best for you and your family. I'd love to be able to work from home.

[@AnthonyStromDesign]

Good reason to get rid of the Si because you're working from home. If you were making car payments, now you saved a lot of money every month. If you had the title to your car, then it's nice to have extra cash in your bank account. especially in this uncertain time. I think your Mustang is a lot more fun to drive, and it sounds great! the power band is linier because it is FI, unlike your turbo Si which take some getting use to. it is a different driving experience. if you don't turn around and look at your car when you walk away or get excited when you start the engine, then it is time to let her go.

[@TheMGChannel]

Exactly, great points. It was just time to let go because the excitement wasn’t there anymore, I didn’t want to pay for something that I didn’t need nor I fully enjoyed. Thanks for the awesome comment 👍🏻

The 10th n 11th gen si don’t have a great motor. The 1.5 will never be something ppl put in other vehicles. IMO bad job from Honda. This is why the older k series are going for a premium.

[@popdatclutch3010]

I agree, HOWEVER… nobody got money for all these motor swaps and most people don’t put the work in to get the hp from k series. Moat do fbo and tune which i “think” this car can handle. I do miss the k series tho

I get it, and the prices are coming down. The 2023 Honda Si's are starting off at $30k as of this month (May 2023). Car market is on it's way back down, and in a hurry from what I am seeing. Good job getting a profit out of the Si. I scratch my head when I see folks buying them thinking they are fast. They are not very fast, and even with the looks they are just a little faster than a Civic Touring with the CVT. I get the draw to the looks of the newer Civic, I like it alot. But I know it is not a sports car in the 2023 standard. I think the look of the exterior and the inside bells and whistles sell it for me. But I would buy one fully knowing there are fast sedans for the same price out there currently.
