In about 2019 or so, I acquired a 1995 Honda Civic Si Hatchback for $4k, with 170k miles. It was a completely unmodified, one owner, clean title and no accidents. It still had the factory hubcaps and tape-deck. The interior is complete and like-new, no missing screws or broken/worn bits. I'm happy to say it's remained in this stock condition since purchase and I simply can not get rid of it. The greenhouse visibility, factory engine/exhaust sounds as intended by Honda engineers and the "slow car fast" aspects are just a few extremely special items that can never be replicated. Sure it begs you to modify it, but the OEM feel is so special too. I don't need to shave lap times on my way to work, nor sacrifice every aspect of ride quality for a stiffer chassis. It's perfectly wonderful as is and I just know this 1999 Honda Civic Si is just as good if not better. Enjoy and hold onto it forever, or join the millions that regret selling theirs.

I still remember when my buddy got a black Civic very similar to this one (not Si) and i thought it was so awesome and wanted one so bad! Took me about 15 years until i got my first Civic but man i loved that car as well. Fun video taking many of us down memory lane. :)

I drove my 6gen Civic for 15 years until mid 2017. Even though it was just 7 years ago this video already gives me nostalgia feelings.

[@rmbumc]

i drive an e46 325ci and yeah i would agree, 20 year old cars are still really nice daily drivers. modern conveniences like carplay are fun, but aren't really necessary and can be made up for by bluetooth and phone magnet. i don't find things like cameras and sensors necessary since i can just look. thinner panels are probably concerning for safety, but i do like the extra interior room in a thinner package. it's all worth it for the way it drives and handles and communicates. nice and raw.

Restoring and maintaining not-quite-classic older vehicles is underrated and it serves as a wonderful time capsule. I recently bought a neglected first generation Honda Pilot and am cleaning and restoring it, and it's still daily drivable. It has the added sentimental value of being a vehicle from my childhood. If storage space allows I'd honestly like to just keep it for life.

[@Jay-sb2xs]

That is one of my favorite cars!

[@Nicedesk]

I had a new 00 Si. Some downsides: road noise, slow steering ratio, no torque, hot seats (they don't breathe since it is rubber with synthetic mouse fur on top), unsupportive seats. A/c vents only hit you from the nipples and up making the hot seats even hotter. Lack of solid feel. No ABS available on the Si version(sounds crazy but true!) Positives: good looks inside and out, fun motor when in vtec, good trans, absolutely HUGE side windows and great greenhouse view. The 91-94 Nissan SE-R was a superior vehicle in every way except looks and high rpm operation.

[@calfaro1979]

The next day i drove my 98 BMW and aside from the new car smell and 300 hp difference the ride over poor asphalt and normal roads wasnt much different .. honestly more comfy bec my 98 has 60 series tires on 15 inch rims versus the Aston 22 inch rims . Dont get me wrong if i hit the Powerball im getting a DBX or Urus

I drive the EX manual. People behind me get upset because the car is under powered compared with newer cars. I could shift at 4k RPM, but it’s probably a little harsher on the car.

This was the first car I bought with my own money when I was 18 years old back 2002 and it was my dream car at the time. '99 EBP Civic Si. I had a blast in that thing until a couple years later when sadly, and like many, it was stolen and totally stripped. After that I moved on to an s2k and I've been a Honda guy ever since. Now I'm on my my 3rd s2k and it's my forever car. But the Civic Si will always be special for me and sadly there are very few still on the road, so I never see them in the wild anymore. Great nostalgia with this video!

As a owner of a hatch with less power Than this si from the same year I must say it all comes down to being spoiled. Get these cars on smaller roads an you get to understand why these cars are the best and why people keep bringing them back with faster motors . Crash safety, you thinking about binning it bro? That's a bad start , be the most alert driver you can be , start predicting drivers , start visibly giving others a chance to go , use indicators every time you move . Someone tail gating turn on your lights, and most of them gonna think you stepped on the brake. Getting into position early ,planning your drive all the stuff we do to be better drivers before Technology made millions horrible.

[@Bmontepeque11]

Ah yes, cars from a simpler era with more purity and fun :') Don't get me wrong, new cars have their thing, but there are some things that just CANNOT be replicated like the energy of that engine! Also the little bit of Barracuda at 23:21 was awesome. Also, also, this car is a 1999 model year, just like I am! This car is 24 (soon to be 25) years old just like me 😂

[@sir_christmas_leopold_duckson]

I had a black 2000 Si and I'm pretty sure it was cursed or something, because I had nothing but problems with it. It ran and drove smooth as butter when I test drove it, but I immediately started having major issues once the title was in my name. First engine blew after less than a month. Second engine had an idling issue that I was never able to figure out so I replaced it again. Then it seemed like everything started failing after that. I'd fix one thing and three more things would break. Owned it for less than a year and got fed up with it and ended up donating it to a shop teacher friend of mine who I believe ended up giving it to one of his students. Seeing what they're worth now, I kinda wish I'd have put it in storage, but oh well. Hindsight is 20/20 I guess.

[@kevintran9440]

Sometimes I think people value the experience of going fast more so than the actual speed. Driving an older manual car with a louder exhaust can be more exhilarating than going at higher speeds in a quiet, smoother car.
