This review was somehow more useful than any others I’ve seen. I like the POV format and you opening it up a little bit so I can hear the engine better. I just got back from the dealership and picked one up in Crystal Pearl Black and couldn’t be happier. Living in a dream.

The best thing about the SI was that ultra high redline and vtec sound.. they weren't fast, but that noise was amazing.. i drove the newer ones, which are much faster, but if you drive a 99 and compare it to any of them, you learn the 99 si was the best SI they ever made.. a very capable light weight chassis and an engine that loved to live by redline.. You guys should find a 99 SI and compare it to this.. i'm curious if you too would agree..

I own both cars and nothing compares to the screaming little B16, though the new one has nice torque to pull it around effortlessly.

I own a 1994 B20 vtec integra and just got a 2024 Si. The B series is easily more fun to rev out, but I love the instant punch of torque you get with the Si’s turbo, and the fuel economy is really good even when you drive it hard.

Really wanted one. Got a sport touring. Thought I would look odd at 60 something. Until I parked next to a Aegean blue SI. As I stood there a gentleman a few years older was walking up to it. After 10 minutes I was wishing I had gone for it.

As a long-term owner of several Honda's and Acura products, the SI was certainly on my short list. In typical Honda fashion, the interior was stellar, the transmission / shifter was butterlly smooth and near perfect and the quality of the build was excellent. But in the end, it simply wasn't quick or fun enough for a weekend / affordable toy. It is no where as fast and powerful as my daily-driven 2020 Accord 2.0T Sport and still feels a bit sedate and understated. In the end, I went with a 2024 WRX 6 speed top trim Sport-Tec. It's simply more fun to drive, more response under hard acceleration and simply more of a toy.

The high engine rpm was the first thing I noticed. Cruising at 80 mph I was surprised to see 3200. I thought I was in 4th gear. Other than that I love this car. It’s a fun daily commuter.

I just got the SI a couple weeks ago. I was also between those two cars - always wanted a gr86/brz but opted for the SI at the last second for practicality. My opinion is if you think you'll eventually be able to get two cars, get the gr86. but if you're on more of a budget, get the SI for long term. I love my SI so much, but I have to admit, I want the gr86 too. Can't go wrong with either.

Please I need to know if this MY24 civic SI happen to have the 360 camera. Im in canada and the specs on the website says it has "Multi-angle rearview camera* with dynamic guidelines". I hate when automakers cant just say 360 camera or panoramic camera view.
@PRNTestDrive 5 ай бұрын
Unfortunately it just means that you can switch from a fisheye to a regular rear view. There's no 360 cams on this.
