Finally someone who actually appreciates cloth seats! Leather isn't always the answer! I love a good set of cloth or sport cloth seats. They can feel better, last longer, and even look better.

I have a 2014 SI, i love it, best car I have owned and I am 62, never too old to have fun

Great review!

After buying the 2018 Si in June and driving it almost 2 and half months, I have to say this is an amazing car. I have done several trips back and forth between Northern California and Los Angeles, and this thing flies, doesn't matter how steep the inclines or curvy the roads. After driving a 2006 Camry SE V6 for the last 13 years, it took some time to get used to the 6 speed manual, and other than the infotainment system which I hate, I love this car. One thing I have to say, this is a car that rewards you for pushing hard on it, but when you have to drive it normally the young speed demon in you starts screaming and wants to break out. On the freeway I am always hitting 80 mph plus without realizing it, I know one of these days I am going to get a ticket, and that is when I wish I had just bought another Camry....

I watched this video before I bought an Si (coupe) and I watched again after owning the Si for a month. I have to say that your review is the most accurate review of the Si on KZfaq. Spot on!

Just to let you know, yesterday while walking the dog, it started to attack some geese. I stopped him and yelled at him to show some respect. That's how much we respect you around here, Savagegeese.

This video gave me the confidence to buy my 2018 civic si and I love it. Thank you

Savagegeese's reviews are so refreshing. Humor, honesty, and great production. Love it.

I really like the foot cam on your corner shifting! I just got my first manual car in years and it's so hard to get a good heel/toe worked out. Also, great point about the Si being an everyday car, not a race car. Keep up the great work!

I bought a 2016 Civic Ex-T a year ago before they announced the SI. I obsessed over the SI for nearly a year, until my local dealership finally got one, and I said screw it and took the plunge. What an upgrade! I just turned 40, and only now have I become interested in cars thanks to something called a "mid life crisis". I was just cruising KZfaq watching reviews of my new penis extension, when I came across your content. Not only did you righteously affirm my love of my new car, but I found your delivery and knowledge to be top notch compared to anything else I'd watched. I will definitely be recommending your channel to anyone who will listen. Keep up the good work.

I've been lovingly driving my fully stock 08 Si since I was 16 from 4.7 miles on the odometer all the way to 147k (first and only car), and I've not felt the urge to buy another vehicle until I started to see how glowing the reviews are of this new generation. I don't need a hauler, I don't need 400 or 500 horsepower, and I certainly don't need reliability questions. All I can say is, I went last week to test drive a 2018 and it gave me a warm, bubbly feeling. The seating position, the position of the shifter and pedals, the sightlines, the throws, they all were wonderfully familiar. There are sure differences both mechanical and electronic, and I do strongly dislike the fake mesh work on the front and rear, but that emotional feeling is something that nothing's going to be able to match for me. I was incredibly pleased with how well the return to form panned out here, and despite my misgivings about Turbos, styling features and some other nit noity issues, it just felt good in a really intangible way. Honda has made it incredibly tempting to slide the 8th gen into the secondary role as a second car and enlist the 10th.

Epic reviews... this guy is my new favourite car reviewer... so knowledgable, so honest and so genuine, going to have to go back and watch his other reviews! Keep up the good work sir.

After a ton of research and looking at lots of reviews (including this one), in June 2018 I bought a Civic Si. I completely do not regret it. Some of the annoyances of this car, such as not so smooth shifting, throttle response off the line and turbo lag etc. were easily fixed. Ktuner with Two Step Performances stage 1 tune fixed the performance issues, changing out the OEM Manual Transmission fluid with Amsoil Synchromesh made shifting and the transmission extremely smooth, and upgrading the shifter rocker with an Acuity Rocker upgrade reduced the gate spacing making shifting tighter and brought the gears closer together. I recently added a performance exhaust, so basically spending a little over $1000 completely revamped this car bringing it to a level that Honda probably should done as default

I have an base 2006 A3 Hatch 6-speed I've owned for 11yrs. . Someone ordered it and backed out. I got it for the price of a golf when 2007 came around and no one would buy a manual car. I've test driven the 10 gen twice & am impressed w the total package, price is amazing. I'm jumping ship on the A3 for this new Si! Btw this is the best Si review I've seen yet. The only one Ive subscribed to. Total gearhead flavor. Thanks for your work Savagegeese you nailed the overall " best of all past Si's driverness" of this 10 gen Si. I felt same on my 2nd solo test run. Btw A3 2.0t was engine of the year for 5 years in Germany before imported into the states. It was put into the Gti in 2010. 0- 60 6.7. The new si 1.5 t is the A3 2.0t only bullet proof. It should the jewel of an engine mr. Honda would be proud of, as designing small engines with efficiency of motion, inherently built in, was his forte.

This review was a huge help in my decision to buy the new Si. As a fellow S2000 owner, and previous 8th Gen Si Owner I appreciate the info and take on the new one. Having had it for a few weeks, I will agree that it's probably the best Si ever made.

Just bought the SI...awesome package for the price...and I love the styling. Test drove a 370Z, WRX and GTI and the civic is the one I kept going back to for every day driving fun and livability. GTI was a close second but I already have a Golf (and the problems that come with owning a VW). I also think the GTI is so boring although very capable. Thanks for all the great reviews.

"Theodore, why are you cherry picking awkward angles? Well it's because I can. I'm making the video." Hahaha, yes!

Such a unique way to review a car when the underside quality is so important. Kudos!

This is one of the most genuine reviews I've ever seen. This guy tells it like it is.

Love how you point out the stuff that other car reviewers skim over or skip. I'll be looking for a new car in the near future and any car that screws up the HVAC and audio volume is instantly off my list. The driver should never have to take their eyes off the road so the manufacturer can make a "cleaner" cabin

Fantastic review. I'm 52 yrs old and probably don't fit the usual profile for this car. I was looking for an economical commuter car that has a "fun" factor. This car has exceeded my expectations. Reminds me of my 2005 RSX with a more useable torque curve. It's the perfect blend of modern tech, sport, and economy.

I have had my 2018 Si coupe for 9 months now. I love it. For me the fuel economy + fun ratio was important because I drive a lot for business. I am averaging 37 mpg with about a 70/30 highway to city ratio. As an older buyer, one of the reasons it gets criticized was why I actually favored it... a quiet engine. If you are driving a lot you don't want to hear noise all the time. I personally love the styling from the side and front and the coupe is for better in the back. In terms of driving, it is super fun. Rhis car loves to turn at speed. I go out of my way to find the curves. Storage is great in the center console. Personally, I don't care about the volume knob, but I do wish I had waited for the the parking break fix in 2019. It is hard to know if it is on. Overall, this car has made me a Honda enthusiast. It is clear they listen to their customers and pack in value for dollar.

Just re-watched this. Still spot-on all these years later. Continue to appreciate my 10th gen Si going on year #4 now

The Dellaplane reference is brilliant and fkn funny. The honest and direct reviews are very much appreciated too.

Thank God you're back - You could have reviewed the 2018 Chevy Polyp and I'd be here, hanging on every word. Score - 10.0 P.S. - Not that epoxy flooring or track lighting isn't exciting...

Just wanted to say thanks for the review. Definitely helped me in my decision to purchase a new Civic Si.

I bought my 2018 10th gen because of this review. You were truly fair with about the whole thing and I appreciate the honesty.

One of the few channels where I consistently watch longer videos from start to finish. Still loving the reviews.

I'd love to see a vehicle that Turbowski actually liked and got excited about hahah

Mr Goose: I own the 2017 Si Coupé. You're dead right about the parking brake, seat heater on shift, and volume knob. I'd add that the clutch action is a little funky. The seats ARE awesome. The LSD is killer. The vehicle dynamics are great. Mine doesn't surge in fourth gear--It seems I'm always in that gear around town. I can cruise the freeway all day long at 80 mph and 40 mpg. Watcha gonna say--Haters gonna hate. I'm really impressed by this car, and relieved you like it as much as I!

This is the review that pushed me to buy my 2018 Civic si. Thank you for your awesome reviews you savage avian.

Bro your explanations of how you feel about a car, is fantastic. It's just as good as some of the best reviews I've ever seen, so glad I subscribed.

His monotone voice and dry humor are the best combo💀💀 "3lbs of skin and dust" lmao

I left an RCR video to watch this. Thats how you know I was excited.

I just bought an 18 SI and I have to say that your review is by far the most genuine and on point. I pretty much agreed with everything you said, if you're looking for an honest review on the 10th gen SI this is it. Good job

I just wanted to say this was a great review. First video on this channel I've watched and I'm now looking into getting one

4:49 Lol thats why I love this channel (besides the bomb reviews)

I don't regret buying my 17 Si at all.

I'm still in awe why you don't have more subscribers. Production value is outstanding. It took me a bit to get your sense of humor. I'll support you on Patheon

This video was one of the reasons I bought a ‘19 SI. Thanks man!

i bought the 2019 civc si sedan model in blue, love it so far.

This review helped greatly in making a '19 Si coupe my daily driver. Plus I got the ultimate compliment from my 13 year old nephew, who asked me to pick him up from school, specifically so he could show off and say to his friends "Gotta jet. My ride's here." Thanks!

wtf never seen a better car review on youtube.. you actually lifted the car too !! Subscribed

Just bought my ‘19 Si, volume button included lol. This review pushed me to get it and I’m happy as hell. Now all I need to do I wait a couple thousand miles and the mods will begin 😁

I can’t be the only one that finds these oddly soothing

Not doing a Type R? I'm impressed. Looking forward to this. Good to see you. #360pSquad

I haven't watched the video yet but I have been waiting for your impressions of the car - compared to any other KZfaqr/journalist. Looking forward to it!

That was a very understandable review. Agree with the quirks you pointed out and your overall synopsis. Totally honest....

I know everyone on the internet hates the styling of the new Civics, but I've owned a Civic hatch (Sport Touring) for a few months now and I've had a ton of people actually come up to me and compliment the looks of the car. Usually it's something like "That's a Civic? That's really sharp!" Granted, that is not at all why I bought the car (I thought everyone IRL would hate it as much as the Internet would). I think it just goes to show that maybe us car enthusiasts take things a little too seriously sometimes. Yes, the fake bumper vents are stupid, but to the average person, they make the car look cool and give it a lot of character that is missing in more humbly styled cars. I liken this car's styling to the Fast & Furious franchise. Yes it's over the top and stupid, but I like it anyways.

The sixth gen... Oh yes. That was my high school life in a nutshell. F bodies and Civics with mad subwoofers in the trunk... I'm in the nineties all over again. That said, I'm in the "dig it" camp when it comes to the Civic's overall styling (but I completely agree about the fake intakes/vents). Great review. Really digging the style you've carved out with your channel.

Thank you for giving an honest and thorough review, as always.

I gotta say I love the foot well camera footage!

So after owning the 2018 Civic Si for a month now, I have to say that this is an amazing car. Here are the pros: sporty look Comfortable and spacious seating Lots of storage space, spacious trunk Thought out interior design Super responsive 1.5L engine 6 speed MT amazing handling and cornering very quiet engine (for being so small) Now the cons: removal of buttons for simple tasks put into the Infotainment system annoying notch sound when shifting into second and sometimes 4th ECU interferes when accelerating hard off the line My biggest complaint is basically the same complaint I have for all new cars. Why the hell do you take away the buttons and knobs for the AC and radio? If I want to adjust the fan or the AC settings, I have to go into the climate screen and make those adjustments, which can be distracting while driving. I just want a fricken button or knob, like in my 2006 Camry. I don't mind the screens for other functions such as adjusting certain functions or for my backup camera, but for stuff we do everyday, there should be buttons and knobs, or just knobs and buttons! Other than that, this is a pretty awesome car that is fast, responsive in the lower RPM range, and rewards you for going hard without sacrificing to much gas mileage. I took it on a trip between the Northern California bay area and LA, and it was comfortable to drive, did not slow down a bit on hwy 152 and the Grapevine (those of you who live in California know about the Grapevine!) and easily kept up with the big boys like the Charger and Mustangs, and surpassed them on the curvy roads of hwy 152 and the Grapevine!

Designers took sleeping pills.... LOOOOLLL I DIED

My first time watching one of your reviews. great work! Subscribed!

I'm pretty sure the intimacy began in the back seat. Love your cannel guys

Love your Channel bro, was thinking u should do review on a 2018 Honda Accord 2.0t in manual.

Sounds like it has a great FWD chassis, sufficient power, and good economy. Doesn't really get much better at this price point.

Thanks for all great reviews that you guys are doing

Perfect analogy! I have a 2020 Si and love it. Bought it based somewhat on your opinion. Great job!

I wish the Si came as a hatchback. The Sport hatch is MUCH better looking.

Love my 2019 SI Coupe ( 30 lbs. Lighter than the sedan).

This video sold me. Subscribed. Well done Sir.

Epic review. Subbed. I just bought the 2018 si sedan and love it so far.

Those so called " vents " are probably one of the ugliest add ons to a car. Not a fan of it at all but overall the civic is a great car

The 10th gen chassis is definitely the best handling civic platform we've seen, but the motor is just so bland. The soul of these cars was always the ultra responsive, high revving motors. I really can't imagine these chassis improvements are really worth sacrificing the thing that made sporty Hondas so enjoyable.

Thumbs up before watching. After watching, wanted to give another thumbs up. Excellent review!

Your reviews are a class act, a must see for me. Have a blue 2017 SI sedan and 10,000 miles love it. The issues I have- rev hang and pedal spacing can be fixed(Hondata and Accuity). The handling, braking and everything else are already there.

Put a sock on the shifter like you did when you were younger! Haha

I'm going to sell my Lancer Evo to get one lol. This is what I have been waiting for Honda to do all my life. A turbo sporty economy car with a lot of tech!

Goose, nice work your are an original with a sense of humor ....Love it!!!!!

Best car content and host on the youtubes. Keep it up!

Nice review. As I grow into my 40s, I tend to agree with this review. Gone are the days where I am going to mod the crap out of a car, but just want something fun, something with a lot of power down low, and something i can tote kids in. I don't want to have to rev the hell out of it to get power like the old Si of yore. The adjustable dampers, the LSD make this the perfect FWD car in my opinion. The lack of manual ebrake is almost a deal breaker though. Can't decide between this and a WRX. Hmm.....

Civic Si is one of the better economy cars out there

Another supurb review. Keep up the great work!

Would love if you could do an 8th gen Si video. Your attention to detail and no bs approach is very very refreshing. Hope you get many more subscribers mate !!

The rev-hang is unforgivable. And I love Honda.

I think the Si should've been released closer to the release of the standard cars. It's hard to be excited about this car with the Type-R coming at nearly the same time. Everyone needs to take notes from Porsche on these release schedules.

Very detailed and thorough review, great job!

This is great stuff, great review. I min even stuff I didn't know I wanted to know u have covered...

I disagree, i think the car looks beautiful. the new accord also looks amazing.

Wow, honestly I didn't expect you to like this as much as you did. I honestly thought that owning a 6th gen civic and an S2000, you'd really not be a fan. Most people talk about how uninspiring and dull the motor is. I didn't like the way this thing felt so "unwilling" to rev out. The sound was uninspiring and the power felt like an on/off switch. Either you made decent power in the midrange going full bore or you made nothing below ~3000. It didn't feel sharp to me like previous N/A motors. Shifting with the rev hang became not so fun because of the rev hang and the boost cutting out between shifts. I think you made a good point about this being one of the best Civics ever made (arguably), but I don't think it's one of the best Si's ever made. It's a good Civic for sure. It's a good Civic Si-lite, so to speak. This is what the Sport should have been, but as an Si, with that badge comes along a series of expectations and heritage for engaging driving experience that Honda used to do so well. I think it hasn't achieved that in this car, but they made a damn fine Civic in it's own right. So bottom line, I think it's a great Civic but not a great Si

Love your videos bro, especially the undercarriage. I enjoy watching you & Scott carry on about stuff & all the goofy things that he comes up with - little fans, lol! I actually like the styling of the new Civic sedan. Those big vent things on the Si look good on the hatchback, but not so much on the sedan. It wouldn't be a deal breaker for me. For some reason the styling makes me feel the same way I felt back when the 1982 Toyota Supra came out, which was Japanese styling at it's finest. The tacked on fender flairs were ridiculous, but it worked. It was awkward, different & challenged your thinking - same with this Si. I saw a pristine 84 Supra just the other day & it looks better now than it did back then...

Just bought a 2020 Si and saw this video. They fixed almost everything you complained about and its pretty much perfect!

I love my 8th gen I'm never giving it up

I love quiet cars. Ive owned a 2004 Acura tl and i fell in love with how quiet and refined it is while at the same time being able to haul ass. I never find myself wishing i had a blaring loud car.

13,500 miles since last August on my '17 Aegean Blue Si sedan and no issues. Your review is spot on. I find that mileage on highway or longer in town trips is better then claimed, but way worse on very short excursions under 3 miles I screwed up and missed getting it with the summer tires. Trying to wear out the all seasons but the damn things won't die. Handling is still amazing so can't wait to see what this chassis wtill do with good summer tires. For the money there really is nothing else that does so many things right.

Outstanding review aa always!

1. The purpose of the small opening on the front passenger vent isn't to let air IN - it's to let the sound of the horns OUT. 2. Pulling UP on the electric parking brake switch and activates the parking brake just like pulling UP on the handle of a mechanical parking brake.

i just ordered this 10 mins ago. Hopefully i made the right choice

Best review to date you deserve 1m views man

Your reviews are the best because your not bought and paid for by anybody! I currently own a Fiat 500 Abarth and could easily see myself in one of these down the road. I previously had a CRZ (6MT) and 2010 Fit sport (5AT) and I always felt like I was driving quality with some fun built in, this new Si ties everything together. I know I would upgrade the tires to say Conti DWS06's and add a decent exhaust and K&N typhoon intake like I had on the CRZ and FIT and call it a day! Keep up the good work, it's much appreciated!

They should have made these vents like 10cm deep to make them even look close to legit...

After seeing the engine when the civic first came out, the mess under the hood and the problem they had with the piston wrist pin clips made me decide that they cheated out or didn’t care.

Yes! Great review as always

new to the channel. love the content man. good humor mixed in with a serious review

Hey there savagegeese. A couple months ago if you recalled I asked if you could get a type r to review. I really appreciate you doing the si model. I really wanted this review as well but I am curious to hear what you think of the type r.

where do I get a SavageGeese hat?

Just subscribed to your channel your reviews are awesome accurate and funny. I picked up my Si July of 2017 and enjoy every drive I’m currently on a e35 tune using Ktuner and it’s at another level.

I watch the whole thing... Thanks for an awesome Review...
