Love it dude, still the best Civic we have ever driven

99-00 will always be the best SI ever.

I love all the blacked out chrome. I own a 1986 Prelude 2.0Si, one of the first Si's ever (along with Integra) and one of the biggest exterior differences over the base model prelude was almost all of the chrome including around the windows was blacked out! Great to see this trait still alive in the Si models today.

I’m disappointed in Honda giving Canada more standard features!

I just got my si today '22 in sonic gray pearl...It's beautiful!!!

I'm old school, 99-00 Civic Si is the epitome of the Si's for me. High reving, DOHC, Vtec, manual, no driving aids, no fancy gadgets, just drivetrain, suspension and steering wheel.

The red hatchback is not a 96 it's an 86..js🤷‍♂️

I'd be more interested in a feather weight weight with the 2.0L engine and 6MT.

I think it'll be a good car, but not without some glaring issues. First, although I think the power level is adequate, most enthusiasts who get this car will use Hondata Flashpro or K-Tuner to free a few more horses from the stable. Second, I think it's borderline criminal that American Honda has the gall to de-content some extremely desirable features for US-spec cars, yet our Canadian friends get do enjoy them (yes, I'm jealous of our neighbors to the north). And last, although not necessarily Honda's fault, dealers will be fleecing the ever-loving snot out of anyone who considers this.

Must have been Civic SI review day because there are a ton of videos on it. I am digging the ‘22 SI. It’s still a Civic, which means it’s just a commuter car, but if you can make the commute that much more entertaining, why flipping not.

I absolutely love your videos, they are so packed full of knowledge. LOVE IT.

It certainly looks more mature than the older Si. Gotta say..... I still REALLY miss those high revving DOHC VTEC engines from the past (I know these new Si's are also DOHC VTEC but it's that 8000K + redline I'm referring to from the K20's) :) Those LED headlights are really clean though and the interior looks great! Great video Jason, very informative!

Now if we could just figure out how to import this from Canada...

Honda doesn’t mess around! Love it!!!

Used to be HondaPro Jason now you're in the know. Lately it has been HondaPro Jason where did he go? Welcome back great to see you.

It really looks like an amazing Civic. So sad that in germany we dont get an Si or any other motors than the hybrid one. Still thinking about maybe getting a 10th Gen civic hatch instead of the Honda Jazz/Fit i have right now. And a super video. Just found your channel some time ago and love all your Videos.

This car reminds me of my old 2000 civic sedan, very handsome looking sedan. The 1.6 single cam, 5 speed manual was such a fun car to drive.

That front grille really reminds me of my 1st Gen Prelude, it’s the exact same !

I'm so close to buying one of these. Perfect size, weight, power, handling, reliability and practicality. It feels like a modern-day equivalent to what the BMW 2002 was; a legit sport sedan, with a great chassis that is not overwhelmed by its motor. I have watched this video over and over again; this car in this color looks absolutely amazing. Definitely getting the blue.

Finally full auto headlights hope Honda put this in all models I’m tired of driving on the highway with people who don’t know how to use their headlights switch

Just imagine how the type r will be🤯 that Si is making me not eanna wait for the type r

I miss the high reving Honda engines. I feel like the SI should have a 7000 or 7500 redline

yes I want one. The only dealer in my area wanted $3,000.00 above MSRP and it was loaded with dealer accessories on top of it

Great review I just ordered mine cause want orange color and they only had white or blue available, can't wait to drive it love this car

still has that 1.5 oil dilution engine

Honda needs to offer the same Features as the Canadian Si model.

2:45 Great video. This is a beautiful car. No offense or anything, but a "true dual" exhaust can only be had on a V6 or V8 engine. True Dual means there is one separate, independent exhaust pipe for each side bank of cylinders on the engine. In this case, there is only one pipe coming off the Inline 4 cylinder engine going to the back, then it's separated into two.

Does that feature at the end where it starts back up after stalling only work when auto start stop is on?

Excited to get this si

Answer to the question in title - NO. Lol 99-00 Si, 8th gen, and 10th Gen Si all got this beat thus far. Even just for heating seats alone and fog lights lmao, and how they decreased HP, instead of going to 220-230 like the BRZ. Truly makes a Honda Employee sad here….. owner of 2020 Si. Thanks.

Good recovery on that Jason 👍🏽

I want that shirt! What's up Jason? I met you in Orlando at Honda Fest

Silly question... would you happen to know (or can find out) if the spots for the omitted Fog Lights from US version has the wiring in place already for OEM Fog Lights? I am only aware of the 2022 Civic Touring model having the fog lights... Here in SoCal they do come in handy as I commute near the ocean and it does get socked in sometimes on Highway. If not, I would definitely get them added...Now it's just a waiting game for the SoCal dealers to come back to reality instead of marking up anywhere from $5K to $10K over MSRP...

That shirt 👕 Jason? Take my money 💰 now!

The 1986 is sooooo nice , there’s a 1981 civic not far from me sitting in a field I’m going to get the courage to ask about it this summer… happy note our new Civic LX should be here bye end of the month 😀

Nice let us know if in the future the engine temperature gage can be unlocked in the digital cluster which its only available in the Touring

I always loved the SI and wished I had one. Just wish there were more exterior colors available.

Ososik media beat everyone by like 3 days for a driving review. Nick was not playing lol

That civic....the body color with the wheels....is bad ass!

Outstanding.

You called it a 1996 Honda Civic Si in the background. Lol what are you smoking HondaPro?!? I want some.

Awesome review again Jason, Awesome car, I'm thinking of getting one for wife or maybe Integra. I love my 2016 EXT Canada version, and I love this new one as it's a throw back to original Accord and civic design ques. I fell in love with brand from a child in Jamaica 🇯🇲 in 80s when my uncle owned retail car business and only used Honda and Toyota straight from Japan. I've owned over 30 products and still own 6 currently.

Okay let’s be honest here . It’s not a “huge step up from the 10th gen “. From 9th to 10th gen was huge .

How is the paint quality compared to previous years? Still looks like a a bit of orange peel but nowhere near as bad as previous models. I hope they have fully resolved their clear coat failure issues due to cheap thin paint.

Love your contents bro Keep it up honda fanboy 💚 💜

How is the cabin volume/nvh compared to last gen?

I would rather have the 86 Civic over the new one. My 2016 Golf MK7 is producing 241hp and 285tq and it costs a lot less than this Civic.

I see the exhaust layout and a budget exhaust solution could be replacing those loops and resonators with another clean loop or straight pipes 😂. But a larger exhaust is always appreciated 😜✌🏽

This will probably be my next car, but not for another few years. Going to keep my coupe for a while, especially now that it’s irreplaceable.

Isn't a true dual exhaust from the headers back?

The EM1 and the FG2/FA5 and the best Si’s

I graduated High School in 86 so I remember the original one

The Best Civic Si next to the 8th.Gen 😊👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿 my favourite part is the Shifter, loving how notchy it is. I’m glad it got some TypeR parts upgrade and the duel exhaust sounds awesome 😎 I would only add a few mods to top it all off #hondata #PRL

8th Gen Si will be the best Si ever. K20 for the Winnnnn

Not gonna lie, I seen the 11th gen hatch, and the rear end is nice looking in person compared to in vids and pics. It’s going to be a sporty car lowered on wheels and tint

The design is growing on me! I think it’s better than the 10th gen with the hdmi exhaust lol

If I trust anybody opinion it's this guy!

Well after seeing the 2022 Civic Si in the Canadian Market I am disappointed that Honda didn't give it the US Market Si the same equipment. Instead Honda chose to make the a car with less equipment for more money.. CA is $33,150 starting in US Exchange rate that is $25978.00 US Market is $27,300.

Well. This solidified my decision between the Touring and SI.

3.43 The way he said that offended me and that's extremely rare for me to get offended. XD

thats a real good t shirt.. oh and a car too

If only it had a K20. I know it would probably be a little slower, but I feel like this car is missing something in the engine department. It doesn’t give off the same vibes as the older ones did.

Looks nice with this color..!

Hello Jason and friends, please I want to buy a brand new 2022 Civic and I am really struggling between the more powerful Si and the more confortable (and more features) Hatchback Sport Touring, compared to the Si I’m afraid that the hatchback would be not powerful enough, please I’m requesting a little help here, would you sacrifice the amenities for a more powerful car (Si) or the Hatch is powerful enough ?, thank you in advance 🙏

Jason, where can I get that sweater?

The griping is always the same and very amusing! I have owned every gen si since 2008, and before that I had a 1996 integra Gsr, and a 1998 integra Type r. The high revving engines were fun for a while but the lack of torque got tiring after a while. The interiors were lackluster and the exteriors always a mixed bag. After driving the integra type r, all civics felt mushy in cornering. I can tell you without a doubt that 11th gen is much better in every category. It’s absolutely planted in cornering. Better shifter, much better exterior and interior design, and it’s not less powerful. Hondata dyno says 222 hp, 232 torque!

That's a gorgeous Jetta gli

Crazy to think the civic si has been around the 200hp range since 2006, it’s 2022 and we are still getting 200 hp , at least the torque is a lot higher , and at least Honda put vtec back in the civic si that’s a plus ,

I love the new si!

No engine temp gauge on a sport car?

I think the new Civic Si is a good car for what it is A bit underwhelming but at the price point with the features as well as a 6-speed manual and LSD it just makes sense I’m sure this will be great to drive too

@ 33 seconds in, you said it's a 1996 honda civic si.. Hahahaha!

I'll stick with my 2020 si with heated...everything lol

Individual mode I can easily see this being in the new type r

Would have much rather had the upgraded digital cockpit than the Bose Sound System. Still can't get over they took away the engine temp gauge in favor of a cheap dash light.

Do they make 2 door coupe si?

Looks & sounds great. Really like the new civic.. But the ole '86 engine bay much less plastic & tubes. 😊

That is NOT true dual exhaust. It is still 1 pipe from the engine, not 2 pipes. On my 2020 Civic Si, I had a muffler shop cut off both muffers and replace with a custom pipe. The sound is great!

Imagine if they if they kept the overall look of the 96 but added all the new technology an engine that would be sick

Miss my blue 2000 SI Unlike Netflix anime adaptations, this probably will be great At least Yoko Kanno, the music composer, came back Made a guitar cover video for the ending theme, The Real Folk Blues

Correct me if I’m wrong but the hatch in the back is a 1986 not a “1996”

Love the rims😩😩😩😩😩

Jason nice review👍 I'm a Honda faithful and I currently drive a 2016 Honda Accord EX-L V6 and I'm wondering why there is no Honda Accord Si or better still Type R. I seriously think the Honda Accord deserves a power bump...it'll sell like crazy

I think it's great the only thing I don't like is that it looks too formal it doesn't look aggressive like the generation before

lol dude with the markups they are charging 40k for this thing. a 40k civic. i spent the morning talking with the dealership because it does look like a solid car.

The number illuminate in all civic 2022 models

I would have loved that car in red!

That never stall feature is in the 2000 Insight

Using the 3rd gen to try to show lineage is weak and unconvincing.

On such a car why are there no parking sensors? Bizarre. Also, the individual mode should allow you to adjust the dampers so you can have sport mode for the engine and dial back the dampers on a rough road. I'm guessing the dampers are passive?

1.5 is cool, but em1 b series & fg2 k20 is unmatched classic 💯

The Mugen Si would like to have a word with you over that best Si ever comment. . . . When you have a reviewer from Motor Trend at the time asking if was the best FWD car ever made. . .

I need one.

Did they go back to using a timing belt?

I wonder if the 2022 Si shift knob fits on the 2020 fk8?

Did I hear this right ? Vtec? Can you pls elaborate?

Original Si's were always hatchbacks initially (EA, EF). and Honda should have kept it that way !

Jason. The old, red Civic SI shown in the background at the beginning of this video is a 1986. I believe you mistakenly called it 1996.

I like how Honda makes such a big deal out of the power chart and how they tuned the engine to be "better." What it really says is they're trying to make up for the poor top-end performance by flattening the curve at the top and giving you less so you don't notice it as much. ...and oh by the way, here, we added no extra torque a little sooner so you can bounce the rev limiter in first gear more often because it's waaaaay to short to be used at full power.

Why no adaptive dampers?
