WOW! What a small world and I'm glad I was able to help you get it! I took good care of her while I was reviewing, no worries :). Any chance you remember the sales person you worked with? Did you mention my video? You made a wise choice, the SI is a great sports coupe.

@@DriversOnly I didn't mention the video unfortunately, and I worked with Ryan (I can't remember his last name). It's thanks to you that I got my car. So thanks again! Keep up the good work!

Jordan Moyer I do too but I’ve gotten used to it. Fun to drive this civic

@@Dirtymousey me to but my civics a2020 lx but in 3 - 5 years ill get an si

@@Dirtymousey manual trans of course and i fucking love it

But electronic e-brake has brake hold which is nice to have, especially in a manual car in stop and go traffic.

Hilarious Videos Exactly to start a nice drift in the snow haha

The thing is only FD2 is a sedan version. The rest are all hatchbacks (EK9, EP3, FN2, FK2, FK8)

Type R will never have a coupe. It's a hatch for a reason. More aerodynamic.

@@bjornsama9649 You may be right, but I prefer the look of the coupe. I really don't like the current hatch design. Looks are subjective, but I think the SI coupe is the best looking civic at the moment and it would be nice if Honda would give it a decent power bump.

The 4 door hatchback look is God awful. But it sells..

agree 100%

Yea lots of people wishing for one...maybe it'll come with the next gen.

I think they'll lose sales on the coupe/sedans models. That's probably why no hatch Si

Mr. Failure it’s the Type R lol

Drivers Only it’s the type R

X_Bismillah_X GAMING the type r would be an awesome daily! But its too expensive for one in my opinion. I only need and want one car right now to replace my 99 5 speed. I don’t need the 306 horses to the crank. Even if i brought the R used to justify some of the cost, i would nevvvver ever track it. The SI is perfect...if it was in a hatch. I do not want another trunk since i only can afford one car right now. The GTI is honestly my best bet....but i dont want a GTI 😫. I just want an affordable manual performance hatch or even crossover for my next vehicle.

lol, did you pick up this one or do you mean you own a SI?

Same here hah

Not if it’s worth more than half your income is so then sell the car and buy a beater in cash 😏😂

It's always a toss up with refreshes, you never know what gets added.

Wow had no idea that was an option. Thanks for sharing.

Nice!

Yenah 777 drive the old SI with the k24 vtec engine and you’ll know how Honda messed up with the new engine. The old engine was happy to rev to redline even if it had less power, the new one chokes before it gets to redline which makes it feel like an economy turbo engine. They should’ve put exhaust vtec on the SI, just like the type r engine and maybe it would’ve felt more like a performance engine. Other than that, the new civic is a great car.

@@carlmanu I owned one and my brother owned 2. Great cars but I prefer the new si and type r over the old any day.

I've owned Hondas my whole life. Love the new turbo engines.

2.0L NA’s come with a K20

@Terminator K20 Z3 is what I loved. 06 Civic SI Coupe, great shifter and transmission as well.

Glad I can help! :)

So make a Civic Coupe Type R...

I do like the SI body style better!!

That's not how it works. If you want the Type R engine you have to buy the Type R. That is why you're paying a premium.

Dude its an Si .. There's not automatic Si 😂😂😂

Dre P as you should lol

Oddly so do I as it really was the first fast/special one.

Dre P Cuz u own one.

YASSS!!!!

I have a 10th gen but id honestly fw a EM1

Good to know :).

Reverse is locked out over a certain speed.

Nice, how do you like it so far?

TheAndrewscape you got the 2020?

It’s great specially knowing their one of the most reliable cars out there. Great gas mileage driven 150 miles so far

TheAndrewscape the gas mileage has to be the best thing. I have a 19 with about 16k. I get 37mpg. Even when I’m getting on it the gas mileage stays the same.

Thanks!

Thanks bro for the support!

Nice.

So only use first to come out of a stop? I just recently started driving manual and wanna know

@@SamSabin 1st is to get going only. For example, if you get to a stop sign or red light and don't have to full stop gear down to 2nd gear and keep going. If you go to 1rst you will hurt the tranny and the engine will over rev

You would only over rev if you’re at too high of a speed to go back into 1st...

@@ericgonzalez3897 what if your going like 7km/h. Don't I have to put it into 1st gear? Cause if i put it into second you will burn the clutch until you get to the right speed for 2nd gear?

@@shangarsaravanamuthu you are either fooling around with me or you truly have never even seen a manual transmission car. Find out by yourself and then get back to me. See ya

Solid comment :).

I've been looking into leasing one as well, how much are you paying for yours?

Michael I balked at buying the 2017-2019 Civic SI because i hated those 4 fake-exhaust square boxes front and back that were real eyesores for me. But now they've broken those ugly shapes up with body-color cross bars that change the whole look, and that's good enough for me. I also love the volume knob for the audit system. Personally every "upgrade" that takes you away from tried-and-true knobs and buttons to adjust stuff like volume and music source is actually a huge turn-off for me. When I am taking this wonderful little car down a road with turns and curves, I don't want to be hunting around some "this big knob does everything" gimmick like those S-drive or whatever you find in so many cars now. My eyes need to stay on the road, not frantically searching through menus and sub menus.

@@danniermansonavia3055 Si actually has highest residual out of any sedan in america. couple that with a low msrp and you get a car that's fantastic for leasing. i pay $270/mo for mine with only first payment down. coupes can be had for prob $10 less.

Great to hear although i'm surprised you can fit in the back at 6'1"!

@@DriversOnly I find it to be a pretty well engineered car. It isn't a rocket but where I live in Michigan, MSP is serious about enforcement. I find the vehicle to be alot of fun to drive in any situation.

6'1 240. You're not that tall bro. But you do need to shed some weight fatty.

How do you have so much head room in the car? I'm 6'2 and have no head room in my Coupe and the driver seat is as far down as it'll go. I have even less headroom in the back. Luckily, I never sit in the back but I go in the back to clean the car sometimes and the headroom back there is atrocious. Lol.

That's what I always figured but was afraid to test out lol. Thanks.

Thanks! Someone also told me that about the lockout...just too afraid to test! Next time at Honda i'll verify.

X_Bismillah_X GAMING lollllllll seriously

Lol your the first to talk about the cup holders

I don't know if it doesn't have seat belt adjustments because the coupe but I just checked my sedan & it's seat belt moves up n down like 5" or so

Thanks for the reply, others mentioned the same thing. Gives me piece of mind now :).

Great to hear. Yea there has always been some red but now there is just a whole lot more red lol.

My last 4 cars have been either black or white, but the blue looks really good on this car and I'm going to get the blue 4-door SI next week. Can't wait!

New honda engines are wack. Wish the stayed true to no low end torque lol

Amen brother

Yes. in Europe isn't available. More than that, Honda Civic, in terms of reliability , unfortunately, it isn't as good as the predecessor. And we're not talking just about oil dilution. Rattles everywhere, cheap materials, the infotainment system is already obsolete. Owners complain also about changing oil at 6000 km...

Thanks welcome!

I know what you're saying...type R is just a tad too much for most people

Jose Santana Me as well, glad it is a simple fix

hahaha im weak

At least its 2.1...

Ill say half Vtec,only had it in intake not exhaust.

So if you ran a full cat back then... problem solved

PG_Jes no u don’t understand,the difference is inside the engine itself,the 2012-2015 Si doesn’t not hav Vtec on the Exhaust Cam unlike the 2006-2011 Si. The 2006-2011 had the true/full Vtec.

Last true VTEC honda would be the 2011 (8th generation Si), which had variable lift control on intake AND exhaust cams...with that signature BWAAAAA at 6000 RPM.

Theres a plug behind the glove box, look up Cameron hill, he tells you how to do it.

Bingo...some have called me out before for taking it all the way to redline on some of these new cars so I try to take a bit easy :)

Not funny

@@wesleysavage444 It wasn't meant to be funny, it was just something I've realized and pointed out.

I have a Coupe. That's one disadvantage of being tall for me. I'm a foot taller than you and have zero headroom in the car. This car is not made for tall people. I have the driver seat as low as it'll go and I still have no head room.

Thanks!

Thanks!

2:35 I mentioned it however during the drive I really didn't feel it much. Guess I would have to drive a 19 and 20 side by side to really notice.

@@DriversOnly oh my bad, I missed it.

I like the Si over the GLI but I like the GTI over both.

Cant go wrong with either! I like the blue personally...more sinister looking. :)

Black

Thanks!

@@DriversOnly keep up the good work

It's always a matter of taste. For me the only thing bad about the back were those 2 huge black box shaped fake vents. Now that they have been broken up with the body color cross bar, the whole back looks fine to me. There are lots of people like me who find the entire Civic SI very pleasing to the eye.
