@@andrewmoore7927 You know, it is sad because they are so hard to find. Right now my local Honda dealers, at least three of them, don't have a SI coupe or sedan, no type R, no Sport or Sport Touring Civic hatchbacks in a manual transmission. How can they sale if they are not available? Generally, most people, even those that can drive a manual, will test drive the automatic version of cars and be satisfied enough to buy it with the automatic. What doesn't make sense is if the manufacturer still makes them , why are they not more available? Dealers say that they sit on their lot too long. I believe the manufacturers should give them these specialty cars on consignment, so the dealer doesn't have to make payments on them until they sale. That would solve everything and when the dealer sells one, they can get another to replace it. ???

It's hard to be smooth with this civic si because of the high clutch engagement, too light of a clutch, and rev hang. It feels really inconsistent most of the time to be honest. A ktuner, shift bushing, and stiffer rear motor mount will make the car feel how it should. The type R is so much easier to drive than the Si because of the low rev hang and stiffer RMM.

Rev hang is caused by clutch disk to flywheel weight. Get a lighter flywheel with a more stable clutch disk. Factory flywheel is ~~15lbs, so probably a try a 10-11lbs...any lighter and you'll be burning your clutch disk faster than normal.

In my experience Honda builds excellent vehicles. Owned a '96 Prelude that gave me excellent service for almost 10 years. Followed it up with a Mazda RX-8, a significantly flawed but much loved ride. (Its lack of torque was like driving a 600 cc Japanese motorcycle.) After that I moved on to MK6 GTI and more recently a MK7.5 GTI. From my perspective the Civic SI coupe is the spiritual successor to the Prelude and prompts some nostalgia on my part. I'd readily concede that 2 door coupes are more stylish than 4 door vehicles. But with a spouse, a teenage daughter and a big dog the 4 doors and hatch in my GTI is so much more versatile and practical than a true coupe that I couldn't give it up. And if I didn't value the hatchback's cargo space so highly I'd opt for the VW GLI with its GTI engine/drivetrain over the Civic. Different strokes for different folks.

I've been in the market for a 2018 Honda Civic si and was wondering what type of fuel you put in it. I know the owner's manual states that the car should receive premium, but can it take regular? Furthermore, I think the car has a knock sensor that changes the ignition timing caused by the difference in the fuel quality. Still, I would like to eliminate knocking altogether to preserve the engine.

In Canada, I can get the LX sedan (similar info centre and heated seats) for $8500 less. At that reduced price, you get an engine that starts to sing when the 1.5t needs to be short-sifted and no need to manageable rev-hang. Also suspect that LX Sedan is lighter around the turns and doesn't require LSD because of better distribution of power over rev range (another way to say significantly less torque). Would be cool if Matt got his hand on a 6MT Sport Sedan to do a back to back comparison. Granted, extra 100lb of toxic weight in Sport Sedan vs LX Sedan would come into play, but it'd still would give us a really good idea , if the old-school Civic still exist in the form of a base 6mt sedan.

I had a 2020 Si Coupe for about 2 and a half years. I loved it at first and was planning on keeping it until it died but I noticed how bad the rev hang was and the clutch was trash as well. It was slipping ever since I got the car. The rev hang and the bad clutch eventually made me decide to trade it in and I got a 2023 Subaru WRX. Love the WRX way more because there's no rev hang and the clutch in it is good. I disabled the rev hang in the Si with Hondata for a little bit but the rpm's still dropped slow which got annoying after awhile. The hotter it was outside, the slower the rpm's dropped. The colder it was, the faster they dropped. The rev hang drove me bonkers. I hated it. It's a nice car that's ruined by the rev hang. I will not be buying another Si again.

Matt, sorry if you mentioned this and I missed it, but does the Sport Hatch have the same rev hang issue as this SI?

Yes, unfortunately it does.

@@MattMaranMotoring Thanks for the reply. That sucks that you have to get a tune to fix that. That would void the warranty, wouldn't it?

Is it worth it to get the 2020 over the 2018-2019 years? How’s the shorter gears?

A Car and Driver road test of the 2020 SI with the shorter gears had the 2020 .2 seconds slower to 60 than the 2019 SI Coupe.

The only thing I do not like about the high performance tire option is that you're limited to only 3 different exterior colors. Thats lame. Makes no sense.

I like the civic si. Always have but this generation is not "tall people" friendly. I'm 6 foot 2 and my head hits the roof even if the seat is all the way down. It's like anyone over 6 feet tall might be a bit to talk for this car.

Nice subtle changes as a mid-model refresh. Hopefully we get a redesign by next year.
