Review: 2020 Honda Civic Si Sedan

[@Hoodratliker]

Something that bugs me about these online car reviews is that they dont take reliability into consideration. I trust a Honda product much more than a Hyundai or VW product.

[@HeuristicsEnjoyer]

True, although unfortunately honda reliability has fallen below mazda in recent years.

[@jfazzuoli3813]

Replaced my Si with an Accord Sport 2.0T manual.....maybe I'm getting old but I enjoy the Accord so much more. Really the only tweak it needs to make it perfect is a thicker rear sway. Power of course is incredible. If only the Si made at least 230 hp and more torque I think that would be the sweat spot for power while still keeping it affordable.

[@Ironfangzu]

Pretty sure you could reach above 230 hp with relatively minor after market tuning.

[@jonmcclane7433]

I do love the new Accords too. Just wish Honda would ease up with the amount of Chrome that they put on them.

To each their own. The si has the better handling and sportier feel. But the 2.0 has the power and more practicality. I'ma stay with my si since those back roads is where I wanna be.

I have the 2020 Si Coupe. 100% agree with you. I didn't realize it had the rev hang when I bought it. Love the car but wouldn't have bought it had I known it had the rev hang. Because of that, it's probably the only Si I'll ever buy. Will definitely be a deal breaker for me for any future cars I buy as well.

[@tomtom255]

Great car, stock suspension is perfect for the street, brakes are strong, transmission shifts crisp and smooth. The engine in stock form is frustrating, insane fuel economy, quiet, probably bulletproof, but it has the character of a dishwasher and some serious rev hang that dulls the driving experience. I'm sure with some tuning/exhaust and an upgraded clutch it would be much better. Overall it's much better than the numbers would suggest and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a refined/fun/economical/reliable daily driver.

[@tomtom255]

It's still a fantastic car, just needs a little tuning to be a great one. Couldn't help but notice the ST badge, I've had a Focus and Fiesta ST, great to drive but got rid of them after 2-3 years because the paint was bubbling on the door jam seams, hood, and hatch because it was RUSTING UNDERNEATH. Honda build quality is light years ahead of Ford and their resale value reflects that.

[@honda116969]

Looks amazing in red... Mine is modern Grey still love it but red looks sharp as hell

[@polarbsdlkfj]

I don't think Honda will dare get rid of the rev hang because apparently these super-efficient engines don't burn off fuel well enough on short trips leading to oil dilution! Personally I haven't had the issue in my 17 Si but I got the software update early on in ownership. I also had to deal with the AC condenser recall as well!

[@Geo-Media]

I'm in debate on getting a 10th gen si, does the software update fix the oil dilution problem?

[@polarbsdlkfj]

@@Geo-Media It's been three years and I'm almost at 100,000 miles! No issues with the stock engine for me. I never waited to get an oil change when the reminder popped up on the dash. I also live in a warm climate. The oil dilution on short trips is most likely to occur to cold climates.

I had a 2019 LX sedan that I traded in after 6 months of ownership for a 2010 Yaris. I loved my 2013 Civic so much better. So much simpler and easier to see out of!

[@sjwang40]

Matt is such a nice guy and it felt like he was really trying to be positive about this car but just couldn’t. It’s a good value proposition but there just seem to be a lot of disappointments. Honda’s 1.5T manual transmission cars (Accord and Civic) both have awful rev hang and I’m glad he immediately called Honda out on it. Also that engine sounds like garbage compared to Honda’s amazing sounding NA engines. My first car was an 08 Honda Fit, and even that 108 hp 1.5 L NA engine was extremely fun, responsive, and great sounding. The shifter on the Fit was also super satisfying. Honda needs to step up its game again!

[@allimikej]

Matt does a great job. He really knows honda. I have a 2018 si coupe and it’s a good car but I totally miss the character of my old 8th gen si. I’m not crazy about the turbo at all. Makes the car boring.

[@agaad22]

You’d rather accelerate slower and get far worse gas mileage just to be able to rev to 8k rpm?

[@allimikej]

Yep on the revs. Can’t wait to sell mine

[@yyalbert4756]

As an owner of 2017 civic SI, I totally agree with what u said about the drivetrain, but cannot agree with your comments on handling. Lighter steering doesn't mean better handling or more agility. I personally think civic si is really agile and handles really better. The front end response is really sharp, way better than GTI and other competitors( not as good as veloster N). The steering weight is perfect for me.

[@MatthewdePaula]

More and more people are referring to this "rev hang." I think it's a misnomer. You can actually stay on the throttle by accident without realizing it after you've engaged the clutch. I noticed this in my driving of cars with light clutch take-up and when I paid close attention to make sure and lift my foot fully off the throttle, this so-called "rev hang" went away. In short, I think this issue is user induced and it's a quirk that a lot of KZbin reviewers appear to have an issue with.

[@MatthewdePaula]

Honda is so unbelievably obsessive with its engineering. It's just hard to imagine that they would let a serious issue like this get past their rigorous testing standards.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Older cars don’t have this issue, it’s an emissions related thing on many newer manuals. Most newer manuals have it a bit to some degree. Look on owner forums and you’ll see lots of complaints and fixes, it’s not just reviewers.

[@riley1733]

It is truly an issue. I have it in my Si. Rev's stay high even when I'm fully off the gas. I had an LX before the Si and the rev hang in the Si is bad to the point I wish I kept the LX instead of trading it in for the Si. Love the Si but the rev hang makes the car very frustrating and annoying to drive sometimes.

[@RSX250]

I think people need to realize the engine is definitely the downfall of this new Si. The 1.5T has lag, and no torque without boost. Compared to the 9th gen 2.4L its a massive difference in usable power. Honda needed to put a de-tuned 2.0T in this Si.

Don’t understand why car reviewers don’t mention reliability, he mentions the 1.5 like it’s perfect, it has oil dilution problems.

[@skifree0]

Which honda engine has ever been perfect. F20s as well as K24s have a very known history of burning oil, and the R18 has a design flaw leading to cracked engine blocks... Honda ALWAYS had these "generation 1 issues" especially with new powertrains (don't even start with their auto trannys). But usually they issue enough TSB's to mend their reputation. They usually take 2-3 years to fix, they update the generation-1 if possible (much like the L15 with it's fuel dilution now), and they throw in an extended warranty to help ease the tensions (in the case of the oil dilution, it's 6 years unlim milage).

skifree I would prefer to burn oil than to have my engine mix with gas. Honda engines are good, I’m not against Honda, I love them, I’m just saying in general that car reviewers don’t give a shit about reliability, or else they won’t get press cars to review.

[@jayczyzyk9707]

Excellent reveiw

[@aaronneason7548]

Last generation screamer of an engine as a '15 si owner I dont know what hes talking about it most definitely doesnt scream tho it does sound nice ;)

[@dogdaybreak3157]

16:39 Excitement RIP

[@JEdmund81]

Wish they could have dressed up the backseat space some. It's just black everywhere, hard plastic and cheap-looking upholstery. Otherwise I'm happy with the exterior changes they made. Gotta test drive one!

[@bobbya8622]

Thanks Matt! A great review as always!

[@empiresix9722]

Still loving my 2017 Si

[@VictorRodriguez-bp7ix]

But the oil dilution problem

[@1lifeonearth]

does it have the oil dilution problem? do you know for sure?

[@BaldKiwi117]

I wonder if an ecu adjustment can tighten up that throttle response you said was slow.

[@TheAdventureAuto]

Did you film most of the in car portion with the Gopro? Any external mic?

[@ravenstylea2]

That 1.5 non vtec turbo needs to grow a set of 🥜 before I would consider buying it. The Type R is near 40k so it’s outta my reach. At least Honda could have added some more power instead of making the gears closer; now it drones at speed.

[@fxckaleex]

Ravenstylea2 you should really drive one before you talk bro. This 1.5T have hurt a few v6 and even other 4 bangers with turbos

[@rad636]

Runs 12s with fbo you moron

[@mustbkyle5697]

Awesome Review!!!1

[@delaticgaming2559]

Can the car be charged by usb via the exhaust ?

[@KevDoesStuff]

8th gen was last good year.

[@RJM7787]

CutchIt can’t give enough thumbs up for this.

[@Xehanortlw]

Oh my god yes 👌👌👌👌

[@w0lf9009]

I believe 99.9% of use agree. 8th gen is my next car.

[@CrowRenager]

CutchIt I have a 2019 and love it. I think 10th gen is best in terms of practicality and amenities. I think 9th gen Si coupe looks good, but i was never a huge fan of the 8th gen. It seems just a tad too vanilla for me

[@EGGMANNoriginal]

CutchIt 9th gen*

[@jayczyzyk9707]

Does the engine have to be kept up in order not to lose momentum

[@juniorhartono3031]

Great video 👏

[@rabbitruck]

Boy racer center exhaust kills it for me. Can't install a hitch to haul bikes without a major hassle.

[@smuffinman]

Why would you want to put a hitch on an SI? Lol stupid

[@joshfitzhugh5430]

I drive a civic si as well and have that same issue with the rev hang. It can be annoying i agree but the one way i kinda solved my issues with it is give it like another half second with your foot all the way on the clutch as it shoots up the 500rpm while shifting and should be a little smoother

[@beatzzc1t]

Nope get a Hondata or Ktuner. Only way to get rid of rev hang

[@blindnagareboshi13]

@That Guy This, this right here. Exactly why I’m keeping mine stock

[@HadEnough745]

$25K with charges & taxes = almost $30K, not cheap for a Civic with rev hang. Matt didn't seem to be all too excited with the power of this car.

[@Stormtrooper-oc4vn]

Competition is worse. So it's a great deal. Try getting a GTI with a limited slip diff. That will be an extra 4k. So your looking at 28k plus taxes even more. Elantra sport will not even offer anything the si gives you.
