The 2022 Honda Civic Si Is A Type R Lite For Budget Minded Enthusiasts

The #HondaCivicSi has had a very long 35 year history in America and for 2022, the new #CivicSi borrows a lot of tuning and suspension parts from its more hardcore brother the #CivicTypeR. While the new #Si doesn't have as much power as the #TypeR, #Honda has finally given it the handling and precision to make it feel more special than a regular #HondaCivic Sport.

Really surprised by the way the new Civic Si drives. The old one felt like a slightly faster Civic Sport trim, while this one feels more like a Type R minus 100 HP. Gets us pumped for the reveal and drive of the next-generation Civic Type R next year!

@@ryanhughes4350 Excellent question. Ignoring dealer markups, do you go for this at $27.5K USD or for the Elantra N (we don't know pricing on that yet, bet let's estimate maybe $32.5K)?

30 years ago I had a 1986 Honda Civic Si, starting my love affair for Honda. I've had 7 Honda automobiles over the years. Sadly, for me the cars just don't seem to have "it" anymore. I was very interested in the previous Civic Si and test drove it. I returned to the dealer immediately asking them if the car was broken? The engine would rev hang. The salesman said no, that's "normal" and for emission purposes. OK, here are the keys, I'm not interested. I bought a 2017 Accord Coupe V6 instead and this will be the last Honda I ever buy. I daily a 2012 and 2017 Accord Coupe V6. The 2012 at my Az home and the 2017 for Chicagoland. After the quality issues I've endured with these cars in order to have cars I find attractive, Honda sold me a Lexus for my next car. Love affairs, sadly, tend to come to an end in disappointment.

My first was 85 CRX and then I bought 1998 DX Hatch and 2000 EX-G. Even RSX Type-S couldn't compete with the dynamics of my tuned 98 DX Hatch, so I vacationed from Honda until my current 2017 LX Sedan 6MT. No reviews on this model (and still no reviews) but I was pleasantly surprised. I was hoping that Honda would play on this base model, since it checks all the boxes. 11th Type-R is a potential, but it's not going to be as fun as my current Sedan on the streets (helps when you can be a hooligan, but still burn like an economy car).

@@dcb1728 $33k Canadian, not US. I. The US this car is $27,900 USD, Canada is $$26,900 with all that extra equipment and even LED turn signals which the US doesn’t have. The Type R has had extra equipment for Canadians since 2017 at a much lower price.

Oooooh 200 hp…my Grandma is almost interested… The interior is on point though.

Heated front seats and power ports should be standard on every car.

[@John-vh1fk]

For some reason the Canadian version gets heated seats, wireless charger, digital dash, and dual zone climate and even costs less than the US spec somehow. I will never understand Honda.

[@michaelfried3123]

maybe on cars sold to millenials...the rest of us are hearty enough folk to not need that stuff or the extra cost from it.

Civics are always really reliable cars. To get a package that has performance and the reliability is awesome! Don’t know about budget R though. Those things are mad epic.

[@Spiritcr1jsher]

The older civics were faster than 8 seconds to 60 and were more reliable.

That interior is horrific. You're driving a tablet. Best in the industry? *laughs in mustang*

[@tapper701]

Blazing Orange Metallic looks great on this Civic Si ... Not a fan of black wheels on ANY type vehicle ... Long overdue for interior design team to integrate the media/control screen into the dash itself - looks like an afterthought like this .... Slainte' ! Cheers !

Civic Turbos sucks. Oil dilution issue on engine and will burn oil once out of warranty.
