Here on TheTopher, I'm known for putting a camera on my face and driving cars. Whether it's about any of my personal cars or reviews on weekly press vehicles, the goal is to give you an idea of what a certain car is like to drive or live with. Most of my videos are filmed in POV, with my clothes on, and (for like the 5th time) with in-ear binaural audio. Which, if I haven't made it clear yet, is why you should wear headphones. Because of the whole "woah" factor. It's there, trust me. Try it, it's pretty nuts. Or don't. As long as you whitelist me on your adblocker I'm okay with whatever you do or don't do with regards to headphone usage. That is all. Oh and I guess you should also probably subscribe. Why are you still reading this, you should be watching the video. With headphones! Hah, had to sneak that in there one more time. Later! - Auta a dopravní prostředky
I laughed when he got on the interstate he revved it out then looked over and they guy is just staring at his tachometer looking like hes thinking "I made a mistake"
Haha fr
Whenever my dad drives mine I make that face
5:08 LOL
He said, Please don't Vtec.
😂😆 HE SAID IN HIS MIND DUUDEE WWWTTFFFFF!
When he hit V-TEC the owner looked as if he wanna ask “bro wat are u doing ?” 😂😂😂
Had an 09 Si new, wife told me to sell it a couple years later. one of the biggest regrets I have done. loved the car so much, that 10 years later I bought me another one. I feel like I got lucky. found an 09 Si sedan white with only 50k miles on it. everything stock except the radio (who care about that). I am back in heaven. Love this car. Will never let it go. will drive it until I cant drive it no more. i am one happy dude again.
How much did you pay? I'm looks for one rn and I've seen a couple with 100 to 150k and wanted to know if it's a good price
Should’ve got rid of your wife
@@good-tn9sr haha. Nice one
@@ADM1TGAMING I did have to pay premium. I got it for 10k. But I saw a lot more civics with more miles that actually cost about the same if not more
@BMO she's still here
214,000 miles and never a check engine light, take that VW guys.
ER B 214k miles? laughing in a mercedes and volvo😂💪🏽
ER B They can’t drive their cars 1000 miles without getting a check engine light

Man I miss my 8th gen Si. Most fun car I’ve ever had. It’s one of those cars you look forward to driving every single time, whether going to work, home, or just running an errand. It’ll rev to 8,000 all day long. I also had a GTI and totally agree with your assessment.
I loved mine Soo much I bought another one
I used to have a 7th gen which I absolutely loved but it had headgasket and cooling issues. I'm considering the 8th gen. I don't like the looks that much especially the poor front visibility, and it has drive by wire instead of cable. But I'll test drive one and see how it goes.

What makes it fun?
@@smhbrayDen Everything. Amazing engine. Amazing shifter. Amazing clutch. Great steering. Great handling. Great ride. Great sound. Light and tossable. There’s not one bad thing about this car. Just a joy to drive.
That VTEC is soooo addicting
My 06 Civic si have 315000 miles an still running like new I drive 60 miles every day ,VTEC addicted
Still???
Hi,
Did you ever get the valves adjusted? My maintenance minder is telling me to do it but not sure if necessary.
Thanks
For real? Or u swap new engine on?
Jesus
Jesus and i might be getting a 180k mile one and I’m wondering how long it might last me. You give me hope lol
Japanese reliability!!
T Kh Japanese reliability in a car that was assembled in Canada! Lol
Still Japanese
most of the parts are made in Japan including the engine and transmission
Hmm... No. I’ve owned Toyotas, Hondas, and Nissans (specifically maximas) and Nissan can’t touch Toyota or Honda in terms of reliability. They did themselves in when they merged with Renault. And I sure as hell wouldn’t buy any other Japanese brand... say Mitsubishi.
Fifthcell I have my dealer tag from my si 70% made in Japan (engine,trans) and 30% made in Mexico
2010 Honda Civic si no check engine light, 215,000 miles
Was never into Honda until I had my first one great cars
I have an 08 civic si and just hit 214,000 miles,still runs like a champ
the owner reminds me of sofyan from redline reviews a bit
And they are both clearly fudge-packers.
Yeah both are gay
Because it is Soyfan u dumbshit...
Battosai Jenkins lol that isn’t sofyan this is bigger flammer.
I noticed that haha
I miss Honda. This Civic was among the last in a long line of affordable, high-revving VTEC screamers (Civic Si, Integra GS-R, Prelude VTEC etc). They'll likely never be built quite like this again.
100% agree. But to be fair, it's not completely Honda's fault.
right.
@@ryanlittleton5615 its all of the emissions stuff and everyone turbo-ing everything
@@alexc.20 Yeah exactly.
Sadly Honda had to either match the competition with smaller turbo engines, or get left behind.
Love me an 8th gen
7th gen
?
FoxYHere 8th gen*******
FoxYHere did you hit the 7 on accident? The 8th gen is so much better...
@@Fifthcell sort of xD, didn't notice that..
My honda civic 2008 is almost at 200,000 miles. It’s still going strong.
I’m aiming for 300,000 miles.
Have 181K on mine......300 would be nice!
What you gonna do after it hits 300,000 miles?
@@andypichardo6146 maybe new engine
My 08 si is at 250k kms (155k miles) & it's been having that cold start chain rattle for about 2-3 years now & still runs like new, I really don't wanna spent $1200 to fix haha, I'd rather buy a new engine with low miles for that price
With proper maintenance....It Will never die 💀
yep my 07 si coupe is still going strong about 154k miles. The paint isnt very nice and the headliner sags but she has never let me down. Drove it 3 hours a day for a little over a year, and it never left me STRANDED! Probably will keep it forever, and just put a new engine in it whenever this one gives out.
I had a 2007 Civic Sedan SI and i loved it. I still kick myself to this day I didn't keep it much longer than I did. Was a great car. First time I ever drove it, I was shocked how fast revving the k20a engine was. Fastest revving engine I ever had in a car.
Love that high RPM engine, wish they still made them .
same
The emissions regulations and enthusiasts complaining of no low end torque killed this engine plus it's cheaper to make a small engine and slapping a turbo.
@@keiserious it's not cheap to make a small engine with a turbo
they do, k20 is found in the new turbocharged civic type r
@@hardspaghetti9989 the new type r doesnt rev to 8k or anywhere near it.
You know Topher. I love your videos and actually really enjoyed this review. But there is just something soothing about your drives with no talking. Only sounds of the car and the all the little things. I'm having a hard time which I like better. I've gotten so used to watching your videos with the volume up listening to the cars!
Keep up the damn good work.
2012 Civic Si owner. Daily driven and right now I’m sitting at 135,500 miles. No problems at all. CMC and slave cylinder was replaced at 62,000 miles and new clutch was put in at 118,000 since the car still runs flawlessly.
Just an update*** I’m currently @ 177,000 miles. Car still runs great had a few little problems I’ve ran into and it all started @ 175,000 miles.
LEFT REAR brake caliper blew and started leaking, easy fix thanks to CZcams. The other problem I ran into was my ALTERNATOR . Got it replaced 3x from Advance Auto Parts and the 3rd alternator finally got my car running correctly, boy I tell I was stressed as hell for a week straight, the first 2 alternators I had put in the civic was CarQuest brand and it was no luck for me. 1st one died after a day of installing. 2nd one gave out after a week. Not only did they gave out on me it was also causing my Si to idle surge at rolling stops & dead stops. But as of today the car runs fine. I plan on riding till the wheels fall off.
Yo any more updates bud?
Glad I checked this. I’m currently @ 232,000 miles as of today and still running strong. 💪
@@GhadSpeedwhat are the symptoms of a bad CMC and slave? Did you replace with OEM parts?
That induction noise is intoxicating 😍
He reved the shit out the motor. Now let me drive your car. Lol
This motor was designed to rev and it does it well.
Shit breaks, better to have some fun with it. Been trying to kill my little EM2 work car with 243k miles so I can have an excuse to buy a K20 for a swap but no dice yet. Damn thing refuses to die so all I can do is wait
@@SpudEater you could cold start rev limit it for a few minutes, but that'd take a few months for it to die lol
@@IsaacPoopsAlot The D17 is a damn good little engine for sure, should've never replaced the damn valve cover gasket, spark plugs and coils in the damn thing, I would have the K swap sooner lol. I cant imagine ever separating from this trusty little car, it's way more reliable compared to my WRX lol. I'll drive it until the wheels fall off, I DID have a wheel fall off actually and had the hubs replaced. Just a damn good little car and it would be a shame if I ever had to get rid of it.
Had a brand new 8th SI in 2008 till 2011 when I sell it. I always regret it so in 2015 I buy a 06 Civic SI with 100k miles. Now with 140k miles + it still run like brand new. I think I will have a 8th gen for life.
It's amazing car. I have a 17 Si, good car but man, the 8th gen is just something special. Maybe I should get one again.
You still got ur si???
@@markymark535 no sir car is sold since last November. 5 years and 46k miles of pure joy. Loved that car so much
I guess if General Motors build cars as good as Honda or Toyota they wouldn't have to close down so many plants.
lol true
It's not really that simple. GM under past ownership would never have the kind of foresight to do this. They are closing factories of cars that don't sell well due to the demand for SUV's, and retooling for electric. While painful, I think this shows how the new GM leadership are actually thinking about the future.
GM needs to build cars people actually want first. All they can manage are boring grocery getters.
Mark Adams there are lots of GM vehicles that pass over 300k miles on the odometer without any major issues
@@lonewhitewolf8232 The only GM's that can do that are trucks or the cars that had the 3800 variant (Series I,II, or III) motor in them. Such a crime shame that GM ended that engine 10 years ago. Did you know that GM had an internal memo that they needed to cancel the 3.8 motor because it was "too good" and thus they needed a more disposable engine to use.
Good luck getting 300K out of anything GM has put since their bankruptcy. Those 3.6's LOVE to stretch their timing chains......
I live in India and I have the 2011 1.8V mt. I love this thing. I learned how to drive in this thing. It's brilliant. Puts a bigger smile on my face than a 530d ( My daily)
Such an awesome car, I love to shift in this car like the owner mentioned. It's great to see that when people take care of their cars and this civic in specific they hold up well. Props to the owner.
I sold my 07 Si last year and watching this video made my throat clench just a little. I've never been so attached to a vehicle and you're making me miss it big time! Hope he keeps it another 200k
Honda Civic lasts forever! My dad has the same car. He's still using it until now.
Wow still looks new
ikr!
you wanna see new i have a 08 si coupe in black with 47k miles
these things looked goofy when they were new (especially the coupe, even more so the split tier dash) but they look in place with today's over styled behemoths
quirky yes, but i wouldn't say over styled @@ShaiyanHossain
182k miles on my 07 8th gen si fg2. Hopefully she keeps going. Biggest factor is oil changes, fresh coolant, fresh fluids, etc. K20 is one bulletproof engine.
6:36 holding on to the "oh shit" bar
Been a year since you posted this comment but that shit was hilarious 😂
Yooo facts he was prolly like CHIIILLLLLLLL
The reason I love Honda is my first Honda Accord cost $75 and had 315,000 miles, manual transmission and it ran great and had no reliability issues for the year and a half I drove it. My second on I bought with 215,000 and it ran perfectly, no rattles felt almost new. That turned me into a Honda guy for life. I’ve had 5 Honda’s so far, 0 check engine lights and no day ruining problems. Only bad thing I can say is NY salt will rust up a Honda pretty quick but same with most cars.
Honda Civic Si sedans are always a fun car to drive~
I just got an '09 Sedan Si. So far I love it. Came from an older dude that never did any mods and rarely drove it up to 71,000 miles. The car feels new and it handles well.
Just bought a 2018 Si Sedan for commute/DD , found one with 1200 miles, 😃 $17k ...this is most fun u can have with ur clothes on..my other car is a M5.
the SI is pretty nice stock.... one of the rare OEM car geared to performance without boost.
One of my few favorite youtuber :)
Thank you for your high quality videos
The reason it’s at 214k with no problems is probably because he doesn’t drive it like this lol
Haha I was thinking the same.
Or perhaps it's just a well designed and built car like most Hondas. I've owned 3 of them over the last 25 yrs and have never had a single mechanical or electrical problem of any kind. My local dealer sees plenty of Hondas with way over 200k...it's not at all unusual.
@@Daddychill945 Choosing not to mod a vehicle says nothing in particular about the owner. Some people just like a stock vehicle, without all the problems, complications and cost that often comes with modifications.
Lionel I am no this guys blew up at 240,000 miles and beat on it daily wen h had it at 180,000
Tru
enjoyed the review and its nice to see this car getting some recognition, they've been overlooked for years with the other manufacturers throwing boost at their engines and getting bigger numbers. you can make these cars fast of course, but what i love about them is how visceral and balanced they are from the factory while still being completely reliable, practical and cheap to own. its very easy to put them at their limit and the overall experience is so much fun. these are the last of their kind and kinda special as Hondas go, only the S2K, NSX, ITR and the 8th gen Si got the high revving VTEC/6spd/LSD combo in the US. Honda will never make an engine like the N/A K20 again for us Average Joes due to emissions and the horsepower wars, so go experience one of these while you can whether its just a drive or owning one. i'll have my 2010 FA5 for as long as possible.
Picked up a 9th gen at 29k miles in 2017. 0% experience driving a manual with clutch. Test drove it, then made it home without a scratch. Made it my daily driver.
For how much $ if you don’t mind me asking. These cars are pretty hard to come by now.
@@steven8375 Approximately 19k. The price has significantly dropped since then. I see them go for under 13k with less then 50k on the odometer.
FOSSILGHOST Damn the market for them really sucks near me then because I can’t any within 100 miles of me under 13k. Found a 15’ with 53k miles for 16K. The one and only 9th gen I can find. Sucks I really wanna get into this car.
Steven Snow ig it depends on where you live, in my area i got my 2013 si for 17k with 60k miles on it, 2 years ago. They still go for 15-16k with same miles now and are hard to find
How many times did you stall it when you started and just took it home?
Thank you for the review of that beautiful Civic!! I will post it to my page!!😊
I have the 2010 Civic Si sedan sitting at 132k miles on it. No engine light so far. The steering and capabilities this car can handle will make you think it’s a rear wheel drive. It handles corners quite well even on stock suspension. Lot of people sleeping on the 8th gen.
132k is low mileage for a Honda
is it really? I have a 07 si 120k miles
I have a 2009 at 136 miles. It still drives like new!
Loving this review, very cool owner and a sweet little car too.. very clean for it's age and miles in Michigan. Keep up these reviews.. would love for you to be able to hunt down an Acura TL with the 3.2 and manual transmission or even a Type S.. the Reliability he claims with over 200k miles makes me want to go out and find me one of these cars!
I’m ngl bro I have a Mitsubishi Eclipse my mom has a regular civic sedan not sure if it’s like the dx or whatever has the 1.8l VTEC and ngl i have more fun doing pulls in my moms car
My favorite place to be, the interior of my 2010 SI.. Most reliable car I have ever owned. I have about 250K KM on my car, around 150K miles or so.. Bulletproof. Great car will miss it when I no longer have it.
One thing for sure is all previous 8th Gen owners loved the car and still miss it today. I know I enjoyed mine everyday up until I sold it. Wish I still had it.
Still have my 08 sedan si..best car I've ever owned bought when I was 17 had it for 10 years now..and it served me well currently sitting in storage thinking of bringing back out
I love my 07 Si coupe !! got it @ 18 in 2012 and had always loved it since. Funny thing is I actually thought the 8th gen civics were ugly when I was in middle school when they came out. But one day, I was shopping for a used car and I was set on getting a 06 RSX type s but once I sat inside the civic I knew it was the right car. I learned to drive manual with it. The only thing I had to change was the CMC like 2 times already but that the only thing. no check engine lights or anything. I got it with 74K miles and now it has 115k and this year it's getting painted since my clear coat is trashed by socal heat :/. Although my car has its imperfections wish I would have bought her new but I would never get rid of my car I have a strong bond with that thing lol
This was one of my favorite Si models. Awesome cars.
I'm a little late but just bought this car as my first manual and I'm loving it! so cool to see a car with nearly 150,000 more miles than mine and it looks like it drives just like mine!
I have an 08 SI too. 72k miles, great car. First time I test drove it I knew I had to have it.
Man watching you drive makes me question everything, now I feel like Im not driving my car hard enough
Ok buddy what the hell was that laugh @ 3:18 😂😂😂
Na Ni lol I’m dead
Commenting so you can hear it again. Enjoy 😂
I always say the only thing you don’t make fun of is someone’s laugh. Not something you want to feel self conscious about
Nervous laugh 😳👀
I was looking for this comment
Had a 8th gen SI and now have a 9th Gen SI, tbh I would take the 8th gen every single day!
I bought my Si new in 09 with 7 miles. It has 247k now. I just came back from a 1600 mile round trip. Solid car. I have it tuned as well. I get about 350 miles on a full tank opposed to the 280-290 or so.

Sounds much better when you’re inside the car too
VTEC kick in yo!
Mine currently has 255k miles. Redline it daily and the only issue I had was the EPS rack die but never had a check engine or any other issue after 12 years of ownership
Bought and learned manual on an 8th gen fa5. Love this car it is practical fun
I bought that exact same Si but with Nav in 2008, loved it, wish I still had it. Those mods are completely unnecessary. More torque was what that car needed, handling and braking were spot on right off the showroom floor and maybe summer performance tires depending on where you live or two sets of wheels and tires like I did.
Last of the true high-revving n/a Hondas
Love Honda , can't wait to get my own Si ✌🏽
Hopefully🤟🏽
This was a great video! You know, since you already make videos on new cars, I’d suggest that you create a segment for reviewing used cars as well! I know you’ve filmed a few older cars, but I think it should be done more often. I’m sure you have a lot of younger people or teenagers that watch your videos or are subbed to the channel that are looking to buy their first cars used & I think reviews on those would be helpful to them. Plus, it would be interesting in general to see on the channel too! I love these videos of older, used, higher-mileage cars!
idk how people can talk shit about hondas , any REAL car lover respects any car . btw i have a 2008 si too sitting at 87k miles ! project car ;0
Ah this was my first car..many great memories. Bought it with 85k and drove until 125k absolutely no problems. Doesn't get much more bulletproof
this was also my 1st manual car...to this day was the most amazing car i've owned...
I'm so glad I kept mine!
IVE GOT THE EXACT SAME CAR BUT IN BLACK & A BODY KIT
I LOVE MY CAR ITS SUPER FUN TO RIP AROUND TOWN IN ...
PERFECT TORQUE DAILY DRIVER...
Oh man the feeeeelss...I used to have an 07 FG2. Love those wheels guy. Get yourself a Tri-Y race header and you will fall in love with you car again..
Also, there is a way to actually use the Defrost mode vents without the A/C compressor running so it doesn't rob HP but keeps windows nice and clear.
Google it!
Those cars so under rated, miss mine
My 09 so currently has about 92k I've put about 20k on it in the last year or so. All I've done so far is fluid changes and a new air filter. No problems at all. I know it hasn't been long but I'm excited to do some basic bolt-ons and eventually a Merc racing 1320 supercharger
This man said he has a Volkswagen GTI as well?!?!?!? You are great my friend.
I love these so much. My '07 has been such a fun and easy car to own
Makes a great daily driver as well ^-^

The fact that I bought a 8th gen si sedan with 149k miles for 4,300$ makes me feel better about my first car with less regrets after watching this
Any hiccups yet?
I am selling my 2014 Accord Sport, which has been the best car I’ve ever had, and I am getting my Wife’s 2008 Civic Si with only 13 K miles on it. She ordered a new Carolla Hatchback and was going to sell her Civic Si and I couldn’t let her do that. I will miss my Accord but I love the 8th Gen Si so much. It’s black too, looks great. I am going to put different wheels on it though.
Hey! I am in the market for one of these and how oddly coincidental that you have a review of one right now! :D
And yes! I do agree with you. A shifter does make or break a car. Especially a sports car. For the longest time I have been fond of everything about the 86/BRZ EXCEPT the shifter design and feel and that has put me off on buying one for years. Especially after driving cars like the Miata (all generations) and the S2000. I own a newer BRZ now but I still find the shifter to be one of its lowest points relating to the drive.
bought my 8th gen civic si 2 weeks ago and cant stop driving or thinking about it lol
Everyone freaking out in him ripping on it, chill that’s what this car is made for, as long as you keep up with maintenance like this owner does then you can rev it out all you want😂
A hondadata flash pro, even with a base map, really wakes up the engine in this car. Surprised this guy doesn't have it.
I got hondata right away to get rid of that of rev hang.
adamra187 how do you do it ?
You know, I think thought about it. The thing is since it was my first manual car, I did not know the difference and I guess I got used to it. Now the car is at 248K and I think maybe its too old.
I thought this was Sofyan Bey for a second. Sounds like him too!
Energetic Fox Studios
Why does that name sound so familiar? Must be from a car review video here on CZcams.
lol!!
Howard Johnson his channel is Redline Reviews lol been watching him for years!
Same
thought it was him also
I have a 98 integra coupe with 198k miles and she drives better than anything else I've driven
Funny, I had a 98 Integra LS also. drove it to 180 or so. sold it to my friend and he drove it to about 240 but than it got totalled. never had a problem. I really liked the steering on that car. i really felt what was going on in the car and it had a great view of the road with those thin a pillars that would never pas any modern crash test.
StrongsvilleGUY I do need new cv joints but it's all bone stock 5 speed
I miss my 06 Si. An amazing car exceot for the paint problems and leak issues. Other than taht car was super solid and ragged it out. Sold it at 100k miles and bought a mustang GT. The seats in my 06 Si were awesome too. Most comforatble seats ive ever had.
Which leak issues? I'm looking to buy one
@@mckricks1 had a minor leak on the sunroof that was quickly repaired at the dealer. I wouldn’t let it prevent me from buying it
@@axebeard7677 Thanks. Biggest issue that I have with 8th gen is the body shape and poor visibility. Also the drive by wire, but I'll have to test drive first. I had a 7th gen which was awesome except for some of the reliability.
This was my first car. I learned how to drive stick in it... I taught myself everything I know about spirited driving from that car... Bad 3rd gear synchro scared me into selling it a few years back and I have ALWAYS missed the high-revving instant throttle response... I now have an accord 2.0t and it is fast, but has NOT EVEN CLOSE to as much character as this thing had....
Manual is always best!
true dat
@@deek1701 it's a trade off, take it like a man, or have drive train problems sooner.
What about DSG?
No shift solenoid that can break, that's for sure.
James Ric DSG like in Volkswagen, it’s technically an automated manual car with two clutches
I got my SI with 8k miles on in '15... only put 6k more on it since then. I baby my baby.
If maintained right those honda Vtec engines stay strong. I had my old integra GSR up to like 177k miles when I sold it and it still screamed like it was brand new, stayed door to door with RSX type S and Si civics, pulled busses on my friends EP3 Si
Excellent review
This guys got about 100k miles on mine; im supercharged and im never bored of the car. no issues aside from maintenance and the damn starter.
Man I've got a '91 Civic wagon with about 180000 on it. I forget how lucky I am to have a 30 year old car with less than 200000 miles on it.
Mine is a 07 and has 191k on it my dad bought it new and dailys it every day and now its mine and holy crap is it fun to drive
U still got it?
i think homeboy thought this was a date
My time spent in my 8th gen si way back when is what ultimately led to me rolling the dice and trading in my mk7r for a brz ts, 6 months in so far I have no regrets.
"Shifter can make or break a car." Totally agree!
Seeing you drive on 275 makes me miss living there, until I hear all the damn potholes.
Thanks for the breakdown!
God damn, I love how you keep it in Vtec for the most part. Sounds so sexy.
For a 17 year old design the interior looks surprisingly modern
it’s in immaculate looks for that mileage
I love how the radio control look back then nice and classic
Got a 2012 civic rn but it’s automatic . Definitely going to upgrade and get a manual too. I’m currently watching videos to drive manual. I know the steps just need hands on now. LOve Honda
great video
agreed
These cars are great, engine/internal-wise that is. I have an '09. The one problem with them (or rather Honda in general) is that they skimp on the factory paint/clearcoat costs so these cars are plagued with clearcoat peeling and cracking down the road. The same thing happened with post 2000 generation of their accords/civics. Not sure how things are at the present but I will never buy a Honda again as it's hard for me to trust them anymore. The scar runs too deep.
Big Boss don’t forget their outsourced engine block casting on the r18 and k20 that would randomly make the engine blow. Happened to me when my si was 6 years old and Honda corporate told me to f myself and refused to help
if the stock paint turns you around from a car your a wuss get a job and re paint it or wrap it
