2022 Honda Civic Si - First Snow Drive (POV Binaural Audio)

Let's take a snowy night drive in the Civic Si. Not a lot of snow this round, but still worth testing out the all seasons to see how they break away on a slick cold surface.

I think he made a video of why he did it. What's funny is that it's just down so frequently and needing repairs that he just doesn't get enough time driving it. So he went with a civic for more reliability but still fun.

[@davelospinoso9022]

Just got this car yesterday. I can't stop driving it. It's the slowest sports car I've ever owned, and I could care less. The gearbox, grip, seating position, infotainment, moonroof, blazing orange color, bulletproof build are off the charts good. Great job Honda.

[@timrocheleau6318]

I'm in Quebec so we get a ton of snow here. My Si is on brand new Michelin X-Ice Snow and even with these tires I find the car tends to break traction really easily in deep snow, sometimes it's downright sketchy. That's where the FWD drivetrain really show its limits. But that's pretty much the only negative thing I've had to say about this car so far, and I've had it for almost 8 months.

[@derekwong2755]

Have you even gotten stuck? I live in Ottawa and drive to QC often

[@bhearing7681]

My Prelude with all seasons always amazes me in the winter. 6-7inches max

[@ShaiyanHossain]

Using snow to learn my vehicles limits (safely) was invaluable to me as a driver

[@SylvainGrannary]

Hi Tedward, small advice from a guy that live in a place where snow is there 7 months in a year (Québec), before opening the door, just remove all the snow covering the door fences, no snow on the seat guaranteed 😉 Also close the door before starting the car to be sure the wipers will not auto-start and shove all that snow inside, happened to me a few time 😂

[@bradava1]

Perfect timing on the video. Only had mine a couple of months now and been wondering how the all seasons will do in the snow. Usually get a fair amount here in Missouri. Also, I had a 95 maxima probably 20 years ago that was a blast in the snow with the hand break. You could perfectly control the slide.

[@GavinRemme]

Snow driving videos are my favorite! I wonder if you could fit a really small mirrorless camera with a wide lens on your head. That would be super cool in low light.

I moved from Utah to Florida this year and I do not miss brushing snow off of my car in the winter haha

How much did you get yours for? I called a dealer yesterday that was near me. They wanted $37,771 For a 2024 civic SI.the MSRP is currently $29,100. That’s about 30% markup.

I think a cool video for you to possibly do would be to compare the Si and the Type R, and talk about which would be the better choice for a commoner who would use it as a daily driver and deals with 4 “true” seasons including heavy snow

Next on the list haha

[@TedwardDrives]

I'm so excited! Should be next week.

[@matthew_k47]

Great video. Another reason to make sure the roof on your car is completely clean of snow is to prevent, as the car is warming up and the snow on the roof melts a little bit, the snow sliding forward off your roof onto the windshield as you brake, suddenly inhibiting your ability to see what’s in front of you. Probably not so much of an issue with light fluffy stuff as it would likely blow off before it could become and issue, but i’ve definitely seen it happen with heavier stuff around where i live in Canada.

[@rohanm54]

AWD + Winters and you’re basically unstoppable 99.98% of the time on the road. I want smth like an si or a mazda 3 hatch w the 6 speed but I just can’t let AWD go. It’s too much fun in the winter. Literally nothing at the 25-30k range with FWD comes with a handbrake anymore smh.

[@loganamurray64]

You can get a Mazda 3 with AWD as long as you’re willing to give up the turbo, other than that look at A/S3’s

[@alexk4804]

don’t have to give up turbo with mazda 3 turbo awd🤷‍♂️

[@rohanm54]

@@loganamurray64 yea but Audi is Audi it’ll always be more expensive to maintain. The NA awd 3’s are what I’m kinda settling on. Or an AWD Camry. Something that can survive 8-10ish years.

@@rohanm54 Fair enough. One of my friends parent's owns a Mazda 3 with the 2.5, automatic and AWD, great car. I'd imagine an AWD Camry would be just as good or maybe even better if you want the space

[@chezburgersub]

Protip.. you can minimize the snow falling into your car by sweeping the top of the doors before opening them.

[@karthikroshan1]

It's finally here. I've been waiting for this video for a while.

[@vermontvermont9292]

I use a good brush, and wrap a nice clean microfiber around it. Only do the windows though, I'm so crazy about keeping my paint nice I don't dare touch the paint with a snow brush. I will often hit the car wash down the road and blow off the snow, while getting a wash at the same time. I really hate that the newer civics don't have a traditional hand brake. Being FF I like knowing I can correct it if needed with the handbrake. Now with the electronic brakes it kinda sucks.

[@joelod.4763]

Great video! More people need to hear this. Nobody with there fancy awd mom suv understands just because you can accelerate quickly does not necessarily mean you can brake quickly.

[@tehbrutenextdoor]

I thought I was weird for liking the windshield wiping of the powdered snow.

[@steveh8224]

Parked mine for the winter and bought a 2010 civic for the messy NewEngland roads. The solution they use here is brutal on vehicles.

Would you say a WRX would have performed any better on a day like this? Thoughts with and without winter tires? I like SI and trying to get one but live in Midwest and was wondering if symmetrical AWD is recommended and sort of on d fence.

no ebrake to rip in the snow is a fuckin tragedy for a front wheel drive car. how fucking neutered of honda to do us like that.

[@RelaxedRacer]

For a civic I think you should also try the Continental WinterContact TS860, I’ve had very good experiences with those in any winter or snow conditions! (But I think the TS870 are now available)

[@Blank00]

Ah yes, the rear defroster, one of those features where a real button is better than capacitive

[@chillphung8327]

In a snowy parking lot, my old manual hatchback lets you left foot brake while you floor the gas pedal into a turn. This gets you oversteer which you can cancel by letting off the brake and pointing the front wheels where you want to go under throttle. It's super fun for carving figure 8s around light posts. There's also no stability control to interrupt your fun and a manual handbrake for the 180 turns. These new school FWD cars with traction control, no manual handbrake, and software which probably cuts throttle if you're simultaneously on the brakes don't seem as fun.

[@nbain66]

You can just fully disable the TC on an Si, with FWD cars you can often just turn in really aggressively and then back it off and the rear will swing around when the front grips

[@RyanRoadReaper]

Not much fun to be had on the snow with a modern FWD car, huh?

[@TedwardDrives]

It’s a bummer. We’ll get some rwd and awd action when the real snow hits

​​@@BaldKiwi117nd some people live in areas that gets real deep snow. Not everyone lives in Cali 😂 Hell even in rainy days, fwd cars still wheel hop like crazy 😂😂 fwd is still fwd at the end. Not as capable as awd to tackle all weather and not as fun as rwd in dry asphalt

@@WitchYuki22 thanks captain obvious. I live in Michigan and snow tires on my civic have been fine.

@BaldKiwi117 obviously it's not obvious to you. You think a performance FWD car is just as capable in snow as a performance AWD car. Imagine buying a performance car to drive daily that you can only push half the year 😂😂

[@BaldKiwi117]

@@WitchYuki22 your reading comprehension is obviously sub part. No, I don't think it's just as capable as awd. I said snow tires on fwd is fairly capable until the snow gets heavier but go off and create your own narrative to make yourself sound smart, captain obvious.

Guys I just realized, on snowy nights, keep your snow brush in the house so that way you can brush off the car in the morning BEFORE opening your door. That way your seats stay dry.

So much better at night than that EQS. Respect for road conditions? Whaaa...Ohio-ans don't believe in this concept (nor do Texans). Heated seats? ....oh, never mind, those got moved to the Integra 😔. I guess the only good thing about a basic Si, is that it is more ready for (extensive) modification and you are actually replacing basic parts with better parts.

And although it feels wrong at first, trust me, once you get used to it, you realize just how much it sucks to hold your own breaks like a peasant.

[@TheMstwntdLMSV123]

I highly recommend checking out Tyre Reviews testing for winter tires and “performance” winter tires. The Wintrac Pro are good but a lot of tires have surpassed their performance

[@vladyslavbaranov6948]
