March of time... The 1.5L 3V in my old 1985 CRX Si made 91 hp. I could redline it all day long and not feel like I was going to jail. It was monster fun.

Picked up my Aegean blue 2022 Si December 26th. Approaching 2k miles and am still in love with the car. Fun to drive and sensible at the same time. Great dad car 😂🤘🏼

Mad props for the history lesson. I've owned 3 of those Hondas. S2K was next on my list but we'll, we know how that went

I love the history aspect in the review. It makes it even more interesting

Very impressive history lesson on Civic. You were on fire with your delivery. You're really getting this channel's feel fine tuned. The "banging gears" comment was a classic Sarah innuendo

Awesome! I was waiting for the mechanical review ever since I seen it in the background of one of your videos! I had my 2022 civic Si for 2 months now and I’m loving every second with it! I’m in Canada and quite surprised the differences between the Canadian vs American Si.

Yay, another wonderful review, plus a fascinating "Civics" lesson through history. Thank you for taking the time to research this and share it with us.

Sarah does nostalgia and history. I like it.

Another great review by Sarah, interesting history on the Honda civic.

Appreciate the history on the mighty Civic, and the details on the underside.

Great review. Loved the walk down memory lane. Thank you. There are some really cool bespoke EV builders that are taking classics and converting to EV but keeping the transmissions and still building drivers cars. I wish some larger manufacturers would do the same.

Great review, Sarah. Many thanks for the walk down Honda memory lane. Keep up the great work.

Damn it I keep saying each review is my favorite then another one comes out. I love how nerdy this review got and appreciate the history! Keep staying fabulous! You're the best

7:45 That was a masterful launch, well done! I've owned a 2009 naturally aspirated Civic Si and I loved that car. The stratospheric revs that car could achieve made it feel special. I've been kind of down on the turbo charged Si because they lack that high revving ability, but this review demonstrates that the new Si hasn't lost its edge.

I really loved the civic history! I hope the car history portion of your video comes up in some future videos!

Great video. I especially liked the history part. Please keep bringing more of that !

You know Sarah, your observations always make me smile. Love your videos. Keep ‘em coming!

Obviously a huge amount of work went into this -- so informative.

Thanks for the Civic history lesson Sarah. I had a 91 dx hatchback (Teal green) 99 Si (Blue) and now a 2014 Si (Blue). With Acura making the new Integra on the Civic platform I think the Civic will survive the Electric power all things movement for atleast 1 more generation. (Crosses Fingers). Thanks for the amazing video.

I have only owned 6 of the Hondas, starting with the 73 straight off the boat from Japan. Great little cars that could go anywhere in the back woods trails in California. Also handled and maneuvered very well in the California freeway traffic in those days.

Wow, the more I learn about this car the more I like it. I wonder why they underrated it from the factory, that's been one of the biggest complaints I've seen but it sounds like a moot point

I always look forward to your vids! 👏🏻 All those Civics bring back memories. Most of my friends had 1 or knew of someone with one. Civic nation indeed. 😉👍🏻

Excellent analysis of the current SI - informative, entertaining, engaging. I'm seriously considering one :-)

This channel deserves more subs!

WoW! Twice as much fun! Thanks! Nice review. Civic has evolved!

Great review! Looking Forward to more of your videos!

Great review Sarah! Loved the history lesson on these, I can remember as far back as the cvcc ones, and yes, I thought the same thing like they just took the vowels out 😂

Another great review! Sarah you always make me laugh. You are the best!

Loved the history explanation of this fun Honda. Thx!

Loved the history lesson. You’re so smaahht. Thanks, Sarah.

Please keep doing reviews. In my opinion, your reviews are the best👌.

Hey Sarah, The SI will always have a special place in my heart hopefully they keep the manual for at least one more generation maybe some sort of hybrid set up who knows. Thanks for the history lesson well done. I really like how these reviews differ from your other ones hard to say how they’re different besides the obvious don’t think I could say I like one better than the other but I think it makes me like each of them more so I put that down as a win🐧🐧🐧👍

Big fan of the nerding out info dump. That’s how I want to talk about cars all the time!

Sarah, I was wondering when you do the brake test, how fast are you going? Love your reviews! 💗

I had a 1977 and I loved that little car , it took me from coast to coast , Alaska to Mexico It finally died in the Yukon with a deer after 10 years of super hard back road driving / camping.... eh

Im on civic number 6. My first was a 93 sedan, 88 sedan, a 96 ex coupe that i drove for 9 years, and when i still owned the 96 i bought another 93 for a winter beater. Then came a 2018 civic si coupe in black which was a great car, drove it for a couple years then traded for my 2019 type R, car is awesome, i enjoy it. But not made for new england winters , so this year i parked her and got myself a winter beater.

Value all your reviews, and thank you for sharing the information. Was seriously interested in the Subaru WRX, but now I am questioning my decision and going to slow down and check out the Honda. Thank you, and take care

This is my first video I've watched of your's and I own a 99 SI Civic and I just wanted to say,I love the video love the review and OMG that coat! LOL love it!!!!!!

Awesome review and history. Thanks!

Thank you Sarah! Great review, especially since I just bought a Civic Si (my second Civic; my first was a new Gen 4). It is every bit as fun to drive as you describe. It is my first manual transmission since 1990. I went there because I've gotten so tired of problematic CVT's, and I'm never going to own another CVT, especially if Honda makes the short throw gearshift as well as they did in this one.

That history lesson was fantastic. It's more work, but that would be a great regular feature on future videos; at least for the sporty/performance cars on GITB.

Hi Sarah! Great review I considered this car. Ended up with the GLI with more power and features!

I have 2 em1 civic coupe’s here in the uk 1 is a 96 and the other is a 98 both pass the MOT’s with minimal effort still the straight through exhaust still makes me giggle and sets of car alarms at will and the induction noise is great. Honda did manual transmission with a hybrid already the CR-Z a bigger version of that maybe with a turbo or supercharger the way forward possibly? Still loves the in-depth SI history on the episode. Keep up the great works Sarah. JX

super histoire de civiq remplit de détail!!!super vidéo. Vivement la suite!!!

Love you Sarah! Well done from a Civic SI / Del Sol owner and lover.

I love her car reviews!!!!❤❤❤

Great video, thanks for this!

Loved the quick pic of the del sol! I bought a 1993 del sol when I was stationed at Spangdahlem. I wanted a CRX but they replaced it with the del sol. I drove the trash out of that car in Germany and brought it with me to DMAFB in 1994. It wasn't fast at all but it was super fun.

Thanks Sara I loved the History Review.

I really enjoyed this very informative video. The few sound effects worked well and I like not having the visual effects. BTW, I recall reading back when CVCC came out that it was just marketing-speak and in fact, Honda had achieved the holy grail of stratified charge. Why they didn't brag about it is anyone's guess.

I'm just loving that it still sounds like you'd expect a Honda Civic Si to sound.

Thanks for the Honda Civic history.

I watch your show regularly , I enjoy your dry humor tossed in every now and then , but thanks for the laugh , hairy cardboard wheel liners , don't know why but that statement gives me the giggles

Thanks for the background history on the Civic, I remember when the first ones came into the country in 1973, they really were under power compared to our powerful gas guzzler cars however they proved their worth as the gas embargo happened in 1973 as well and still today…😎

My first car was a 1990 civic as well! Awesome Videos!

i once owned a 77 civic with a 1200 cc, and a hondamatic 2 speed. i had a lot of fun with that car

About the EP3. The K20A3 it came with, and the base RSX, produced 160hp. The K20A2 is the engine that came with the type s and produced 200hp.

Great review as always! And a Honda Civic history lesson. Exhaust flow or rather, flow rate is a highly underrated and misunderstood topic. It is why sometimes going to a huge diameter exhaust actually decreases power. Exhaust gasses from a 4-stroke engine do absolutely not need any backpressure, but they do need a certain flow rate to scavenge and prefill the cylinders. Calculating pipe diameter and length is something I know Honda has been invested in since the 70's in motorcycles, I'm sure they're using that knowledge on cars as well.

Gees, nice and smooth, smooth as the clutch was, with pure professionalism throughout. Nice, really nice. Over the top even.

Great job, very thorough this time :-)

Thanks for the video!

very detailed review n history cheers😊

My first car was a Civic 1500 GL two-door hatch, in red.

Just picked up a Blue 22 Si. Its my 5th civic and replaced my 2012 Si. Love it! I think the 12th gen will be a hybrid gas electric with 6 speed cause i know just gas engine sports cars are leaving. Honda knows what their customers want to see in this car and that 6 speed is here to stay for as long as they can. Will prob add the paddle shift option though.

Happy Friday Eve Sarah!!! Stay excellent!!!😎

I'm old so I remember all those generations of Civics. They were everywhere in California, sold like hotcakes because they came in from Japan to our ports. Now I have a 2020 Civic 6 speed and I love it. I think Honda will continue with gas powered Civics in the future but offer an option of a fast electric model... maybe a Civic Type E

Woah thats a really nice shirt!! Best one I've seen

Love the look of that exhaust.

Love your choice of exit music.

Hi Sarah thanks for your videos and jokes.

Great Video

I like the 2006 Si Coupe that you got in America. I remember driving one while over on a business trip. We didnt get that shape in the EU.

Cool video thanks. I remember seeing the first civic and thinking that isn’t going to be popular 😃

Finally the video I been waiting for! ♥️

can't wait for your review on the new type r

Love the review. Very well put together. Pretty gal.

Wow - History Sarah! 😊 That was a very interesting potted history lesson, thanks! Great review - again! 🙂🙃🙂🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧

Great review

Glad to see this

True, it *is* all about...banging gears. I'd jump at a manual electric - it would give me the feeling of DRIVING a car (a fact I love about manuals) instead of feeling like just another passenger (why all automatics must DIE), as well as be more eco-friendly. Yes, a manual electric car for the enthusiast. Sounds like a recipe for a win.

Best overview ever

I had a first generation Civic (automatic transmission). Great little car for round town, and nippy, for its day. The six speed manual gearbox on an electric car should really be connected to the synthetic engine noise generator, though I guess you could make a case for having two real gears.

Here in Asia I have a 1999 1.5 EFI Type Z hyper 16 manual Honda City, the engine is the same as a V-Tech, I say the car just wont give up still running after all these years.

Thank you Sarah!

I was excited to see this, since I own one. If there are any gripes as an owner I would have.. 1. Apple Car Play is laggy AF with inputs. Solid one to two second delay. Seems like it needs an update on software on Honda side 2. The back up camera is absolutely trash. Especially at night. Of course Honda sand bagged power and torque on this. With the Integra coming out, they have to leave the big numbers for that. Which leads me to ask, have you ever done a review on a DC 2 Integra Type R???

I really enjoyed the history of the Civic. Love the new SI. Went to several local Honda dealers. They're commanding 8K over MSRP, including the usual worthless dealer added equipment. Don't like the new SI that much! Another great video!!

I would like to see what you use to upgrade brakes, like bigger pads calipers to match as well as perhaps dual pods ?

Great video ! Very informative however the engine in the 2022 civic si is actually the L15CA, the B7 was last generation

Had manual civics all the time, till they got boring. A fit manual did the job, now back to a gen x hatch manual. Nice going Sarah. Still feeling spoiled as a Canadian, cos the us si is lacking a few features

When i was younger my mom had a 04 4 door Civic Si so it wasnt only sold as a hatch

Best video to date thank-you

Thanks for the history lesson, Sarah! My family was very anti-import automobile for the first half of my life, so I never saw the first few generations of the Civic. 👍️

I love the SI, I got the white pearl. I love it!!!

Wow, that take off with a manual transmission was perfect. You did it waay more better than a lot of male youtubers that I follow. They just dumped the clutch almost stalk the car and pretend they do know how to do stick shift. Awesome review. I would be happy if you also give us 0-60 time. Keep doing the great job!

I have owned my Civic Si since 1993. Still have it, now with a B18C1 swap. Use it for the track only.

I just bought a 2022 Civic Si, I have to wait two weeks for it to arrive, thanks for the Civic history lesson and new car info.

Just now noticed that the 2nd gen civic grill @11:53 is very similar to the new civic's dash pattern for the air vent strip!

Very nice history line up thank you Mine is ‘97 EJ coupe black 😉

Hi Sarah, the fuzzy cardboard that you seem fond of is for sound deadening. Makes for a quieter interior. You probably knew that tho. Oakie dokie then.

Those dyno numbers were at the flywheel. They said on a roller dyno aka to the wheels approximately 195hp and 193ftlbs of torque. Which is still great.
