it doesn't work with Canadian postal codes?...I tried and it won't let me enter it...
Great review, guys. Super entertaining. 👍🏼
USA only sorry. For Canada try Shari at CarHelpCanada
Your the i di ot revier…!
For a factory order, I wouldn't even believe it if anyone told you that you'll get anything under MSRP right now for this.
I'm pretty bitter that US doesn't get the Heated seats/wheel...But I'm so impressed with the dynamics that I can forgive
True, i enjoy my heated seats on my 2015 Fiesta ST
Nor a fully digital dash, wireless charger, heated rear seats, fog lights or indicator lights in the wing mirrors.
@@nicholassmith7048 or SHIFT LIGHTS
Dude what? Honda fucking clowned the US with the new car. Slower, less shit to give, heavier? Garbage
@@gilbertosantos2806 Yes exactly!, might as well take off the Si badge Honda, if you wont even give an American Si the right of passage of a shift light. WTAF? This is an Si staple since at least the 8th gen.
Thanks for the shout out & so happy you guys love the new Si! 👍👍
What about a Honda Accord Si?
Do the US Civics have sliding sun visors or just the Canadian cars?
@@stevemcrichards8768 they do I have one in us
For the same we get shitty honda city in India 🇮🇳, it’s not fair
@Force Unleashed
high taxes in india..
not economical for honda too..
current market situations and trends,these civic won't sell well in india..
by the way city has the best naturally aspirated engine in it's segment
This is going to be my daily driver/commuter car once dealers stop asking over sticker. I like the fact it’s less boy racer and more mature looking.
It’ll make you feel like you were 16-19 again .
You can just put a factory order and then they can’t charge you over sticker
Same. This is a good dad spirit car
Get a Forte GT instead - they’re selling for sticker right now. I absolutely love mine.
Totally agree, and it looks BMW-esk to me. I wasn't a fan of the styling before. 37mpg on the highway and a fun car is a pretty good combo.
The revs staying at the perfect RPM in the next gear is part of auto rev matching. The auto rev match is not just on downshifts, it's on upshifts as well. My M3 had this and pretty much any auto rev match system has this implemented by this point. Makes lazy shifting in traffic a breeze but also significantly diminishes skill required for operating a manual transmission.
This was also on the 10th gen civics. I had a 2018 Sport Hatch with this and it was awesome.
So wild
My 2014 Fiesta ST has this as well. I assumed most modern manual cars had it considering how cheap my car is
@@Bllaarrgghh Fiesta ST was not that cheap it was starting at 28k CAD back in 2014! 😀
@@nathansaxman3537 i just sell my hatch sport and its was dosent have rev match tis a new feature i got it in my Si now.
The most complete review I have seen of this car by anyone on here. Good job guys!
Please never get rid of, "we're going for a drive!" So iconic.
I don’t think they’ve planned on it
I love that you are guys are doing all those super zoomed up shots that nobody else is doing. Thumbs up!
diggin the close ups guys really gives the viewer an idea of how the materials would feel to the touch
That smile on Jakub's face on Yuri's Launch says all I need to know. Another great review boys. Thanks for all the hard work!
Geez you guys made us wait for this video.
I was avoiding all other reviews until this one came out.
Good job guys!
The fake in-cabin exhaust noise sounds like a man in the back seat going “whooooooowaaaaa”
I just bought a 2020 Civic Si Coupe today and I love it. Powerful car and fun car to drive. I had a 2018 Civic LX Coupe before and absolutely loved that car (that car is a 6 speed standard as well) but I love the Si even more. Glad I bought it. Awesome car.
Hearing that piped in audio instantly brought back memories of endless hours playing gran tourismo on a PS2.
You guys have to be the best automotive Duo CZcamsrs out there… Perfect dynamic between the both of you plus you always get straight to the point , give unfiltered reviews , & always give Quick yet in-depth reviews.
Thomas and James would like a word with you! 🤣
@@groovymotion5706savagegeese will like a word with them
@@groovymotion5706would love to see a colab with them
Before watching this review, I would never considered a Honda Civic as a potential car to own but somehow you've morphed it into something pretty cool. Shout out to the Straight Pipes for putting out such solid reviews!!
Looks even better with a yofer body kit
You guys do a great job reviewing these cars. I watched your 2020 CTR review before I bought mine and you guys are on point with everything you said. This SI looks good and I can’t wait for you guys to review the new 2022 CTR. I will always be a FK8 guy though!
Thanks, really appreciate it! CTR is a weapon
One of the last cars today that I will still finance to keep forever . Hands down . Just like driving my first car again .
2 years later how do you like it? what's your biggest pro and biggest con? thinking of getting one
Are they available in uk ?
12:44 manufacturers should take notes about this new feature called "Buttons, Knobs" which make lives Simpler.🙂
That was the sickest intro song yall have had. Love the reviews as always keep it up!
You guys are great Im actually shocked at how well you guys remember all the things about all the cars you guys have driven over the years so if you for get something once in a while it’s ok cause you guys drive a lot of cars I’m curious actually how many you guys do a year lol I guess I could go back myself and figure it out lol
There’s nothing better than some Canadian grown content,Keep it it guys great review as always.👍🏽👊🏽
I can't wait to see the body kits for these bad boys
also 7:00 NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL A PROPER CIVIC SI LAUNCH
FINALLY!! Been waiting for you guys to review this as my preferred pair of Canadian auto journalists! Nice review!
Sorry it took so long we tried to get it months ago
Freaking love normal sedans in cool sport versions. The Civic is a nice commuter and so adding the SI means a commute to work becomes fun!
How it's only 200hp? And it's not even to the wheels?
@@invalidusername_5101 drive this and then drive a Ford Fiesta (base). When you are talking about an affordable car, the difference of everything the SI has in is just a little more fun than a normal commuter. Obvi not comparing it to anything with substantial power.
@@invalidusername_5101 Fast and fun are not the same thing! With good steering, a good chassis, a good transmission, a well-sorted engine etc, a 200hp car can be plenty fun. It's a question of quality over quantity. My ~200hp 2010 Civic Type R is WAY more fun than my remapped 2013 285hp Renault Megane (turbo). The snappy throttle response of the Civic (lightweight 5kg flywheel from the factory) never gets old! :) Whereas the doughy throttle response of the Megane (silly 12kg dual mass flywheel + being turbocharged) and the way the engine sounds like a blender gets old fast. :(
With not much power and a LSD, you can get on the throttle very early without the wheel hop or wheelspin that turbocharged FWD sport compacts tend to have (the old Civic even has traction in first gear!). The 8th-gen Type Rs (both the lowly hatch I have as well as the proper Japanese market sedan) did have a little bit of different stuff (different cylinder head casting, that lighter flywheel I mentioned, different diff ratio etc) but overall they are pretty similar to the 8th-gen Civic Si. :)
@@invalidusername_5101 stock it’s 210 hp to the wheels on the dyno. Honda underrated it from the factory.
@@AJS_Drums that's slow
Hey hey! A 2013 Ford Focus does a similar upshift revhang. Manufacturers slip little things into electronic throttle tuning to make daily driving a manual a little easier. Though I don't love it from an enthusiast perspective, I can certainly appreciate it.
You made my day guys in deciding on my next car, because I was hesitating between the SI and the GLI ! thx great reviews btw :)
That intro was fireee 🔥 sound mixing on point
Canadian version is so much better than the American. We don’t get the shift light, full digital dash, heated seats or steering wheels and mirror turn indicators. Such a disappointment
And it costs more when you account for the currency conversion.
Or fog lights, or wireless charging. It makes it a deal breaker for me personally. It’s border line insulting.
@@bradava1 yup, those too. Not really a deal breaker for me, i don’t think heated seats are needed with cloth as much as it would be with leather. Heated steering wheel is the only option i really wish we got. Everything else is slightly disappointing because we know Canada gets it, but if it was just standard equipment on all models it would be fine. It’s still a sub 30k car
Does the US version have moon/sun roof?
@@flipincan yes, they still have that.
I own a tenth gen si . This one looks great! a little underpowered (might just be underrated by Honda and if not, nothing a tune can’t fix) hope they fix the clutch issues from the last generation. I also Wish the heated seats were available in US, but overall looks like an amazing driving experience and daily.
the sound just takes me back to my high school days
Just picked one up today and absolutely love it!
I'm glad Honda made this car so uniquely Honda. The sounds and rowdy 90s noises. That outside sound of slapping limiter makes me think it's 2002 again and I hear ek civics doing burnouts. Also I'll stand by Honda as long as they make such good manuals. Best in class. This car is peak fun daily driver. I want nothing else. I don't mind the audio, civic si when I was a kid was always ridiculously loud and childish and I love that. Just slam those gears. Do cheeky burnouts going around corners.
The relationship you guys have will never get old. Should do a review disguised as older versions 20 years from now.
Wack
I'm still driving my 2014 civic si with 209,000 miles and love it.
Great review; really like the civic lineup. The si is a perfect drivers car here in the US it’s a few thousand less can’t beat the price. Been buying civics and accords forever no need for Acura
Honda knocked it out for the park with the 11thgen. Great job honda
No they didn't. They screwed the US version!
I love my 22 Si...I also kinda like that pumped in engine sound...adds to the excitement and it doesnt sound bad imo
My favorite Canadian reviewers ! Keep it up guys 😎
Awesome videos guys! Would love to see you guys get your hands on a Demo model IONIQ 5 and give us your impressions!
I like the iPhone zooms! Let's us see the materials up close. You can even do a compilation of zooms later if you start to record these
Yuri nailed that pumped in audio sound
The only channel I take seriously with their reviews. Mainly because they don’t agree on everything. Also very entertaining!
Nice review!! Watched it several times!!
Crazy how good the reviews are on this car. I want one. The perfect daily driver that is fun and gets great gas mileage.
Waiting for mine to be delivered. This will be my second Si. Makes a perfect daily driver
Looking to get one next year! Are you Canadian if so how were they in the price?
SEE! THIS is why I tweeted at you guys asking if you were going to review it. ONLY ones to check the exhaust sound, ONLY ones to mention rev limiter (that I noticed out of the 8 reviews I watched) I had no idea! ONLY ones to actually talk about the heel toe properly (it was bad in the previous gen imo). Correct me if I'm wrong but did I hear a little pop in the exhaust? Great review as always. I was hoping the new si would come with a little more power like 220hp but is what it is. I guess I'll wait for the Type R before I sell my 2019 si.
Finally boys I got in on this too…drove it on Monday compliments Westwood Honda in Port Moody BC. Very notchy shifter, it was perfect 👍🏿 Loved it
Love my 23 Si. Wouldn’t buy a car without watching your review first. Love everything about this car. Coming from a coyote mustang, you think I’d miss the power. But the handling, gas mileage, and practicality are amazing. Plus it’s a blast to drive. Flawless manual transmission!
Thinking of doing the same, I have a Mustang 2018 GT. Seriously considering this car. I prefer a good driving experience, not just power and numbers. Is it more comfortable than the Mustang? Anything you miss on the GT?
@@javierzapatarodriguez2068 great question. I was very hesitant to get rid of my 2017 mustang GT manual. I loved that car and it was a ton of fun. But I have more fun driving my civic si. It’s more comfortable than the mustang, the manual transmission is way better and the handling doesn’t even compare, feels like it’s on rails. It’s more practical, way better gas mileage and overall a more enjoyable driving experience. The only thing I miss about the mustang is the that beautiful V8 sound. You think I would miss the power of the V8 but the civic has plenty of power and again is more fun to drive. Never thought I’d say a 4 cylinder is more fun to drive than a coyote V8 but it truly is. If you do decide to go for the Civic Si I guarantee you will be happy with your decision and won’t ever miss your mustang.
Awesome. Classic Civic. Short first gear, nice and long second gear.
Nice review.
Looking forward to the upcoming Accord refresh, hopefully within the next year or so.
im subs to this channel because u review almost every single civic ever exist
We are truly spoiled right now for high performance "affordable" sports cars. Civic si, upcoming type r, kia k5 gt, elentra N, kona N, veloster N, New wrx, upcoming corolla gr, New brz/86, gti
And oh man am i excited for the all new corolla gr
Civic SI is so slow and bad LMFAO. Mazda 3 turbo way better
@@NoVaRedacted I forgot about the 3! Not really a sports car though according to reviews.
@@mitchellsteindler high performance??? U call 200hp high performance?? PATHETIC
@@djzulumask2138 Looks like you got an underperforming brain for all that money you paid for it🍤🧠
Great looking generation overall. Can’t wait for the Type R. Hoping it isn’t as boy racer looking as the previous one. Brilliant video guys 🤘🏻
Jetta GLI , kia forte and mazda 3 direct competitors ! Love it .
@@thomasengel1459 I hope they don't, a Type R should be entirely separate than an Si or base from looks
@@akuma_mx5 yeah, that's pretty much the point. The type R is meant to be a hyper aggressive version of the Si. They're always eye catching cars. They look sema-esque stock. If they get rid of the big spoilers, lips, & diffusers, it will just be an Si with a better engine. I wouldn't pay premium for that at all.
@@bantuboi3131 ofc they wont, but the previous gen type r is just kinda too much
The rev's falling and then hanging at the next gears RPM is something the Corolla with its IMT mode did back in 2019. But it's better since it doesn't "hang" when you let off as well
People like me who want this in colder climates are green with envy about the heated seats and steering wheel you guys get.
My BMW M2 CS manual also hangs at the exact right RPM for the next gear before continuing to drop. It ensures zero wear on the clutch and synchros when you are just cruising around taking it easy.
🔥🔥
Love it. I do wish there was such a thing as a fit Si. I really enjoy the smaller form. Just wish it was more driver focused.
Yuri with the sick shifting sound effects!!!
The Office Space bit at 2:56.... WELL DONE!
Jakub saying “Civic” with such confidence 😂
If anyone try to get an si in the states, just a heads up you will not get 70% of those accessories and 1000$ more expensive than Canada.
LOL at Adele's "Go easy on me" playing in the dash as you bounce off of the rev limiter! ;)
Hopefully in the future I'll be able to utilize your guys' truecar link for the Toyota GR Corolla! 😊
I like the hatchback better. Great review as always.
Don’t let the cabin noices distract you from the fact that its actually coming from Hector running 3 Honda Civics with spoon engines And on top of that he just came into Harry's and he ordered 3 T66 turbos, with NOS, and a Motec system exhaust.
My 2015 ST did the auto rev hold when upshifting it was very awkward when I was shifting slow in town especially cause I never caught on to it till right before I sold it I always thought I was the issue haha, BTW love the videos and I love watching the aggressive driving in your videos they really show the way you can just have at it driving the cars you review keep up the good work :D
Damn I always thought that was rev hang lmao
AFAIK it is rev hang thing, I think it because of the heavy dual mass flywheel. I’ve never liked it on my ST either, but I eventually stopped actively noticing or thinking about it.
Jakub’s maniacal laugh at launch is waaaay better than any piped in engine sound and I propose that Yuri find a hack for that.
🎶
I feel like i waited for this review all my life. Totally worth the wait. Thank you straight pipes. Stay dope boys!
Great review, you two make me smile, you love what you do and I enjoy watching your videos. Top shelf stuff, muchas gracias.
I’m upset Honda didn’t make the rims very different, however they did make the SI wheels matte black where the Sport is gloss black. It’s a small detail but they could’ve done better
Nice transition from the intro, Yuri!
ND also holds revs for you if take too long on the upshifts. Since there’s no rev hang and the rpms drop like a rock when you clutch in, it’s pretty nice sometimes
Man,...I wish they did this in a hatchback. Would be about perfect.
My first thought too
That's how they get you to buy the type-r lol
2-door hatchback will be perfect for me
Integra!!
@@ThirdBrainLives the integra will cost 36-38k and won’t be quicker and will likely be heavier. I’ll wager it won’t be a good value for the additional $
Lack of U.S options is definitely a deal breaker for me. Great review guys!!
Same, if we got the same equipment as Canada this car would be a no brainer. But I gotta Look for something else now.
@@KyleNoonan1 facts get a accord instead
Americans who like sporty sedans also live in the cold 9 months out of the year
I love that Adele’s “Easy On Me” was on the dash as Yuri was banging against the rev limiter😂 1:30
Great review! Really looking forward to the '23 Integra to basically get this car in a fastback/hatch.
Hopefully Acura doesn’t stray far from this Civic’s amazing dash layout
I absolutely love the styling of the new gen civics! Really love the more toned down classy/functional styling. Can't wait for the type R
I really like this model. Very clean. Much better than 10th generation.
This is probably the most fun daily for the money, I have a wrx performance pack and I would love to have a go with this car. Trying to convince my friend to get one of these.
I’m ordering a 2023 model
Am I the only one that always checks to see what watch Jakub is wearing? He's got a legit collection.
Waiting for the new Integra ,,,, hatchback , 8spd DCT lifted from the ILX,,,, perfect ,
Aside from performance, I’ll dare to say that the design look a bit pedestrian. The front is fine, by itself but the overall styling is a shade too subdued. But, that doesn’t mean it’s poorly designed - it’s well balanced, proportioned, clean lines. Just my opinion as someone in the ID industry.
I’ve put almost 500 miles on mine and you guys are spot on. It’s a great car!
How is it as a daily driver? Going to look at one today
@@markcounts8533 it’s perfect, almost at 5000 miles now lol. I love every aspect, good mpg light clutch, rev match. It’s a blast to drive. 10/10 would recommend probably the best car I’ve owned
Great Video!!
Sad about the difference between the Canada and USDM versions. I live up north in the US and could certainly use those Canada-only features... but I will make do. This car is too sick to pass up.
I laughed extremely hard at the Dunder Mifflin and Acura-stomping part of the video. Like extremely hard.
awesome as usual
1:06 Slowmo sideways in the old civic, absolutely GOATed clip
As a 2012 non si civic owner, if I wanted another sedan it would be between this and a 2021 wrx. My civic has gone 135,000 problem free miles and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another.
Stick to civic bro
Or get a accord
Dude. That opening beat is fire.....
From France with passion and respect ✌🏼🇨🇵😎
I am genuinely surprised that this comes with Auto Rev Match, what a great move by Honda
I’m just happy that it has a real manual
@@william2glaser227 it’s the realest manual I feel like Honda has put out in a while. I love the auto rev match and the interior exhaust sound. I think it’s a great fit for the car and it expresses its new generation very well.
Comes with every Hyundai N, hehe
@@player1GR Hondas first time
@@Kaelanpo no the Type R had it
People aren’t buying the Civic coupes? I feel like that’s all I see on the streets.
Thanks buddies finally you heard me and make video civic si
My 2016 focus st also holds the revs at the perfect spot for up shifts.
They did a good job but they really need to differentiate more from the normal Civic, although it doesn't cost much more these days
Looks like this Si finally learned from the GLI
I get mine Monday. Apprenbtly they're making more HP/TQ than advertised. And a simple tune gets you a lot more out of it
This looks nice it sucks that the US got shafted when it comes to the digital dash and shift lights though, it was between this and the new Forte GT redesign and I ended up with the Forte and I'm loving it. Think you guys will do a review of it?
It's a shame that the US spec SI's got neutered on options. I want to love it but that drops it from my list
Yeah, that's a bummer. I'm a Canadian and am grateful for the features (I have a '22 Civic Sport Sedan). It would probably be a deal breaker without them.
