- 2017 Honda Civic Si Review featuring a Sedan model with over 100k miles on it. 2017 marked the first year for a turbocharged Honda Civic Si. In this review, we will see if this model of the Civic Si is worth it. See my 2019 Honda Civic Sport Review: • 2019 Honda Civic Sport...
The Civic Si is a vehicle I've been meaning to check out for some time. I personally think Honda makes some of the best handling affordable cars and this 2017 Honda Civic Si did not disappoint. But leave your thoughts about the 1.5l turbocharged 4-cylinder engine in the comment section below.

Hey will you be able to do a review on the new Acura MDX advance package? It seems very good and idk whether it worth getting over the mercedes gle 350 since the benz is is a little more expensive when it comes to leasing over the acura mdx, would love to hear your thoughts, most have said its better put together than the gv80.
Yes I think I will get the chance to check that vehicle out this summer!
Does 6th gear do anything rationally functional on the 2019 Civic Sport? I'm pretty sure the synchro's on my 6th gear are pretty virgin on my 2019 Si
I have had my 17 Civic Si with 6 miles on it. I've put 94k miles. I had the injectors replaced in a recall and I'm about to replace the starter. It's been a bullet proof daily driver. I also installed a TSP Stage 1 tune at 25k miles on original clutch. FYI, The sport button also adjusts and stiffens the dampeners unique in this price range.
How's your clutch holding up with the tune?
@@linkinparkdrift i was hearing after a tune the stock clutch doesnt hold up
@@jaredfletcher1587 I'm tuned now with about 4000km. So far, no slippage. As long as you're not flooring it at low rpms, you should be mostly good. Although, I've heard people have gotten it to slip on completely stock cars.
@@linkinparkdrift im thinking about tuning mine but worried about the clutch. Im not a huge fan of the stock clutch just bc it feels too light but in traffic its nice lol
@@jaredfletcher1587 How many clicks you got on it? I say it's worth it alone for the extra power. If you've treated your clutch well thus far, it probably won't slip.
Putting up some really well informed videos on regular person cars.
Thank you my friend glad it was helpful!
haha. He said "I don't blame you for being interested in it because I'm interested in it"
😆
He always delivers 🙌 👏
I have a 2017 si as well. I bought it at 39,000 mile and now it is sitting at 66,000 miles now. Since I daily it and road trip it, this car is a beast. Power to weight ratio is spot on stock and for the money, it is worth every penny. I am bone stock besides a muffler delete but man when I prep the car for reliable mods, I cannot wait to see what this car is capable of. Not to mention the price for these cars is awesome. From what I have seen, these cars hold their value very well. I’d recommend this car to anyone.
I'm here for the greatest reviews ever recorded
Haha that means a lot coming from a boss like you bro thanks!
Amen
Got my Type R for MSRP, and it's now sitting at around 360 whp, and it's worth every penny. I had a 2017 Si before the R, and it was a blast time drive. Besides the rev hang, everything was sick
Where and which dealer did you get the r for? Here in California most of the dealers are scamming us on $15k over msrp!!
@@davidkevin03 I'm from Central Florida. Don't get me wrong, the dealer's tried a $10k mark up, but I had to competing dealerships battle it out for my business. The one I got it from, agreed to MSRP, plus so extras for free just to win my business, since they were directly competing against each other
Finally, a Honda review :)
I’d suggest reviewing a 2017 V6 Accord; you won't regret it at all...
Gotta find one first lol
I remember wanting one of these in 2017. Ended up going with a Mazda3 2.0 with the 6-speed due to my financial situation at the time. I had just gone way over budget trying to keep an E60 530i going. That didn't work out and I had to fork out more to buy a second, more reliable car (1994 Lexus ES300), both of which I ended up selling.
Cool to see how one of these would have held up compared to my car. Wish I got one of these instead.
Love the car, literally got a 17 Si a week before this video dropped. 10/10 would recommend.
Great to hear!
Might be buying one this week, looking at a lot of options
@@MegaNiQdid you get it? I’m look at a 9th and 10th gen si and dont know what to pick
wow finally i was looking for a test like this 100k miles on a 10th gen civic :) !!!
I've been tripping on the used car reviews lately finally found a good one 👍
Loved the intro
Thanks!
Oddly I was at a stop light and a white SI coupe came up and wanted to race with me in my back Sport Touring Hatch.
I wasn't surprised by the end result but I was just wowed by how well the power went down from a dig in the SI, but it has encouraged me so much that I actually ordered a hondata tune.
I'm also planning to order a intercooler, slightly larger turbo, and maybe an exhaust but that'll be a project down the road.
Nice let me know what kind of difference those mods make
Great review man. I’ve wanted a 10th gen Si for a long time. Ended up buying a 2018 Civic Touring sedan (since the wife can’t and won’t drive a manual) lol. I definitely agree on its handling prowess!
Nice! Congrats my friend yea even the non Si models of the Civic are great to drive and the CVT is not bad at all I really enjoyed driving that car, have fun with it!
Should of gotten MT
Women ☕️
Greet review! Mine is this color.
I have a 2018 SI' with 103k Miles. :) Also in the cary area!
I love my car, it's great on gas. I also have a K&N drop in panel filter, upgraded rear motor mount, Eibach Sportline Lowering springs, Konig Wheels and recently ktuner, gives the car more life. I bought mine brand new.
Common issues that I have experienced:
Rotors get warped even with less than 20k miles ( I know of 3 off the bat that had the same problem)
Fuel Dilution Issue (allegedly fixed with an ecu flash, still recommend doing oil changes more often)
I had a few seals leak timing cover/ main seal etc. (replaced mine under warranty)
Valve cover seals leaking ( on my fiancee's EX Civic)
Having radio issues blank/frozen screen ( can be fixed with an update)
In colder states, condensation would accumulate around the gas lid and freeze.
Steering wheel peeling
Skid plate fasteners aren't the greatest and they tend to fall out. (Skid plates are 150-200ish depending on which one your car has, they have different ones)
Fake carbon on the dash is prone to cracking if too long in the sun.
A/C Condenser going out, covered under warranty (not me personally but plenty of others)
I'll update if I can think of more.
Very helpful
Yea no cap he not telling fibs I love my 2018 Si but bruh my ac just went out 🤦🏾♂️
@@ayyooojett2353 Forgot about that issue as well, it didn't happen to me personally but know of others that did have the issue.
Should of went to the Subaru dealership
I have a 2017 Si with about 130KM (80k miles) on it. I also experienced the rotor warping really early into my vehicle ownership & my AC condenser also needed replacing (under warranty). TBH though, rather minor issues all around & a solid daily driver. For the money I don't see how you can do any better.
My 2018 Civic EX-T CVT bought new June 2018 now has 71,300 miles. Maintained religiously (and early...every 3,800-4,200 miles). Changed the spark plugs at 61,000 miles. Changed the transmission fluid at 55,000 miles. Great performance. Replaced the brake pads and cut the rotors. Replaced all four tires at 55,000 miles. Only use top-tier premium fuel 93 Octane. MPG: 33.2. No issues so far.
Thanks for the info man I just got a 2018 ex-t certified pre owned with 68,000km that info is really helpful
any update?
UPDATE: As of Jan 1 2023, my 2018 Civic EXT with the 1.5 liter, turbo, CVT (174 hp) has 130,500 trouble-free miles averaging 34.1 mpg.
Since my original post, I replaced the water pump, drive belt, and PCV valve (maintenance). That was the most expensive maintenance I’ve done to date ($1,045). I added no mods nor tune. I drive a lot (60% highway) and I never redline. I only use Shell 93 Octane for the high detergent to mitigate carbon deposits. I own for longevity. The goal is to get 300k miles without repair to the engine, turbo, or CVT.
I have an ES and a Frontier. Now Im gonna add a civic si cuz your vid sold me. Long live Japanese cars.
Si is a fun little car! It's like the 1 car that does everything see if you can get one CPO or with a warranty since this model is turbo
Nice video !
Thanks!
I bought a new 2017 Civic Si Sedan (FC1) when they were not even on sale for more than a month...One of the most fun cars I have ever driven (Not as much fun as my 2007 FG2 Si! But nothing beats the sound of a N/A honda with Vtec! Not even a turbo)...I wish I didn't sell it, but I needed a pick-up for work...One day I will be able to afford both! - One of the most sharpest handling cars you will ever drive....and Honestly, there is NOTHING better as far as best, most sporty-fun car for the price!
i have a 2017 si as well but i still got 14k miles on it lol but i love it a lot!
I've got 177,546 on my 2017 honda civic hatchback sport. So far, so good
Holy moly; do you use your car for work or something? Lol
@@hondakid9170 for work , it's a good car
What about the oil dilution problems? Is it now safe to buy Civic SI before 2019 now?
You've brought up an interesting subject regarding turbocharged and using premium fuel. Would someone actually be able to save more money with a natural aspirated 4-cylinder getting around 25mpg compared to a turbocharged 4-cylinder averaging 30mpg? Where I live the cost between 87 octane and 91 octane is roughly 30 cents difference. With a lot of manufacturers going forced induction or completely electric now, I wonder if lower octane fuel will become obsolete since there are just less and less natural aspirated engines around.
had a 2017 SI-sedan, blue for 2 years got up to 65k miles, tuned from 15k, FBO(MAPerformance, uncatted, motor mounts(27won)) Etuned by Pherable at 28 PSI since 26k miles. Held up extremely well. OEM sparkplugs every 35k miles, Oil every 4-6k miles depending on Highway or City driving percentage. Trans oil every 25k miles, and never did coolant, Breaks changed twice, never did rotors, and original clutch no slippage, making around 235-245WHP and 290LB. Currently have a RC F, but the 10th gen SI was an amazing car out of college especially to learn how to care for and modify a car.
Yup really is a great car and fun to modify
my Password JDM shifter works and fits great on my 2020 Si
Is that a Seiko SKX i see!
Haha yes it is my friend good eye
2017 Honda Civic si sedan here
104,000km
Prl short ram intake
Invidia Gemini exhaust
Stock clutch no tune
Been debating on tuning but enjoy the reliability
Original rotors not sure about the pads
Never had any issues only thing I ever done to it was replace a tie rod end cost me $100
My 17’ si coupe just hit 21k all city mileage. Bought it new with ~32 miles, thank god for trains. Short driving does concern me for the future though.
Thank you Kevin. The title of the video could have been amended to 300K Miles Later and the car would still be running.
Major factors specific to this car to look for when buying from private seller?
Awesome video! I have a 17 si coupe just hit 40k! So I guess I’m doing okay lol my dealership actually called wanting to buy my car back from me because the demand for these cars went up especially the coupes
Nice! And wow that's interesting I personally liked the Sedan and Hatchback for its practicality and I thought that made it cool but nice to know there is a lot of demand
You finally got a Honda. Well done Kevin. Hope all is well.
I gotta move this is making me so mad I should be getting so many Hondas to review but I don't
@@MeynMotorGroup You will in time.
So my big question. Did you replace the water pump? The dealer is telling me I should replace it as preventative maintenance but man. It’s $1500 to do that
Have you ever had an issue with the car battery?
I'm surprised that you haven't had the head gasket let go yet. The news on the street is that the head bolts are pretty weak on these engines.
Got my 2018 coupe with 50mi on it. Havent had any issues with it. Always let the rpm come down when its cold and floor it regularly. Yes its stock motor.
Greet vid
Thanks!
116K Miles on my 2018 Si Coupe. Completely stock. Just some LED Headlights to get rid of those ugly Halogen ones. Criminal Honda shipped the SI with those instead of full LED.
How did it reach 100K that quick? I have a 2017 Civic Si with only 30K miles on it and I drive that thing everyday on the freeway and just recently drove it from East Coast to West Coast.
Majority of people out here are just nuts with their cars driving 100 miles a day is normal for most so that's easily 36k miles a year. This is why so many new cars get sold every year they're racking up miles at an unbelievable pace and this is why I Continue to get so many questions about reliability and resale, most can't take advantage of a lease when they drive like this
My 2019 civic si already has 106k. I drove 80miles a day to work plus weekend trips.
@@pavelpshichenko3276 Why would you do that to yourself? 😅. 80 miles a day is dangerous, bad on your back and higher chance of falling asleep on the wheel. But hey 🤷🏻♂️
My 2007 fg2 is still at 96k miles lol
@@pavelpshichenko3276 80 miles a day?? that's crazy !!! Damn dude you should seek an apartment near at your work asap 😂🤣
70k on my 2019. About to need brake pads soon. Only oil changes and new tires otherwise.
Definitely not a “fast” car without the hondata tune. On the other hand I get 33 mpg city and up to 50+ mpg on the freeway. Glad they capped the performance for longevity.
Should add I got mine in October 2019 with 40 miles, so yea, 50k per year solid
Damn 2017 already 100k miles?
Can't wait to see how it holds up!
I dont understand where people are going for them to rack up miles like this lol 😅
@@MeynMotorGroup hypercommute because of housing costs here in LA, I’ve seen commutes as long as 2 hours. I know living costs are much lower in NC.
LA is actually understandable but both owners of this were in NC 😆 people everywhere drive so much! Like well over 100 miles a day and that's normal. For many people a 2 hour drive is "close" and "not that bad" I can't do more than 10 miles in a car without being frustrated lol
@@iheartgs400 smh that's why I'm getting out of shit hole california.
Thankfully I work from home but I cannot stand the traffic, poor roads and high taxes.
@@SpaceyZee as he said, it's only if you can't afford it. Everyone I know that lives in La does not have a hyper commute of 2 hours. They have commute under 25 minutes. If you are struggling financially to the point where you must commute 2 hours away from where you work, you may want to reconsider your life setup.
There's traffic in every major city, people who say idiotic stuff like this haven't lived around the world at all, let alone the country
No oil dilution issues?
I bought my 2017 Honda Civic Si Coupe in September of 2017. My gas mileage has been 32 city; 40 highway. And, after almost 7 years of ownership, has only 16,000 miles on it - mostly city driving. The car has been a great fit for my lifestyle. My Si Coupe (Red) gets a lot of looks still - mainly because it's a great looking design and Honda doesn't make Coupes anymore. However, I feel that the car has outgrown me in a way. The car doors on this Coupe are really heavy - I have to park on a side incline. Also, the weatherstripping/molding around the 2 main windows has become very weathered and cracked and needs to be replaced. And, as I get older, I find that the Si is too low for me to get in and out of easily (I've had hip replacement surgery since I bought this car). Otherwise, I've never had the "rev hang" issue and the only thing I've replaced was the battery (a few weeks ago). Also, I've only used 93 Octane fuel from "Day 1". But I'm looking for something else now and don't know where to turn. I need something that rides higher off the ground so maybe something like an HRV might be something to look at. Any suggestions?
Maybe a crv
@@rodeo2026 Why a CRV over an HRV? It's just me and I'll be the only driver and only person in the vehicle and most of my driving is city driving.
Remember you having r spec. What happened to that? How does that compare to this?
Haha that was 2 years ago my friend and Veloster is cool I did like that car, this rides better and handles better but Veloster felt like a more connected vehicle, this feels a bit more numb if that makes sense
Can you do a g37 review sometime?
Already did! Just search the channel
definitely a good car Kevin, the most Americans like Honda Cars but unfortunately the most Germans don´t, thanks for the video.
Wow I'm shocked to hear that, I thought Germany would love Honda since it's one of the best handling Japanese cars
@@MeynMotorGroup yes handling is great that´s right, the problem is the Design ( Ext. and Interior ), not enough engine choices, CVT and the Insurance is very expensive.
@@MeynMotorGroup the only good selling Japanese Brands in Germany are Toyota, 80k, Mazda 60k, Nissan 35k per year, Honda under 20k.
Imma give a weird take but.. I think the 10th generation civic Si coupe is what the 2023 Integra should been, just with a hatchback.
47 head tilts in 2 seconds got me dizzy. Other than that it's a good review
Your 2010 tsx has a K series motor and it's normal for oil consumption. Especially if your in VTEC
Is 1 qt every 1000 miles normal?
I just hit 100K tonight on my way home from work. My commute is 112 miles one way; totaling to 224 to and back. I would've hit 100K last year, but due to the pandemic, I didn't have to go to work much. Plus I alternate with my Grand Cherokee. I absolutely love my car. All is well except for the Fuel Injectors which I had to replace around 57K.
Good work man, keep putting the miles on.
Things the mileage doesn’t really matter as long as you taking care of your car.
@@J-sign I'm at 133K now. Still running good. Still hitting 138MPH smoothly. Still stock of course.
I buy one at 80k mile, are there any specific points to mention during the inspection?
@@simon-pr3sc ask If the injectors have been replaced and if the MT fluid has been changed. I'm currently at 140K. So far it's good. Mine is stock and I'm speeding to work everyday. Hitting the top speed every other day.
@@simon-pr3sc oh. Buy an extra oil filler cap if you buy the car. The cap might break randomly, so just be ready for that. That happened to me. Weird stuff.
I couldn’t imagine keeping it stock for 100k miles
They put an intake in it lol
Oil dilution ?
Good
im sure its all highways ,iles which translate to about 30k miles
85,000kms on mine 👌🏽
Nice!
Japanese cars dont die.
Yea they really are the most dependable they're not perfect but I trust it more than others
@@MeynMotorGroup true true
tell that to my 3 dead subarus
My type R has 100k miles, I used it for DoorDash
Umm my only question is how?
Good 👍 ASS job Brudda ✌.
I'm interested in seeing how the 1.5L holds up when it gets older and the miles start to stack up. The fuel in the oil issue keeps me away, for now.
I mean, he’s reviewing one with 100k miles and other owners out there have gotten higher than that with no issues. Any car is going to have its fair share of stuff after +150k miles, but anything serious while show up before then. And the oil dilution was overblown.
I think this car held up pretty well because modern Civic Sis are biased towards premium fuel. Meanwhile, the regular 1.5t Civic is specced to be able to take regular fuel.
My 2018 is right at 30k and I’ve never had the oil level rise or had it smell like gas. I just run Amsoil and it’s been perfect so far.
I know it's old but I recently hit over 100,000 miles on my SI and the reliability is awesome. I used to worry but I commute pretty far so I wasn't too concerned. Changing my oil today and my oil has not risen. It's not even burning oil either, amazing car
@@bongchichi2155 Thanks for the reply. I think I'm going to hold out for Accord 2.0L though.
Nice mileage. Japanese cars just keep going, and going. What car do you drive as your everyday?
A Japanese car 😅
@@MeynMotorGroup Honda? Toyota? Mazda?
Lexus LC 500 😬
@@MeynMotorGroup Nice.
👍👍👍
✌
Needs more Rev hang...( see Subaru)
I test drove a 2019 Si and a GTI. It wasn’t even a competition. Same price, GTI was way more engaging.
GTI is next on my list and VW in general I really want to review more VWs. Parents had a 2012 Passat that was new at the time and we loved driving it, GTI should be a blast. But obviously most people like the reliability aspect of Honda.
Same price? Usually the civic will save you a good chunk of change
If you’re not looking for reliability go for it
My 08 only has 145k jeez
Heard everyone is waiting for injectors?

Hey bro thanks again I saw your last comment glad you're chilling on the weekend bro

@@MeynMotorGroup Definitely can’t wait to see it though especially since it’s something new bro to see if they added any new features we never saw before lol
16k? Try 26k with all the bs going on. Car market is ridiculous now.
bro i literally cant stomach spending that much for one of these cars either. It just doesn't feel like a 30k car. Ive been in the market for one for over a year hoping the price goes down.
I tried buying a Corolla hatchback but they running for 25k+ 😆
My si is at 152k
HAHAH I got my CPO 2017 Si Coupe for 17k out the door with 13k on the ODO...that price is fucked up lol
I know a guy that got a new Si coupe for free crazy right
Prices are redicullus now. See them on Car max for 25-30k depending on year and mileage
Omg all those miles in a 2017 vehicle wtf😆
Yup previous owners were driving on average 100 miles a day...it's really stupid how much some people drive
@@MeynMotorGroup I agree with you Kevin keep it doing a great job💪

Want to review my 2003 BMW 325xi with 248,000 miles on it?
Currently not taking any owners cars but I am humbled by the offer!
the rev hang sound bad
Realities of modern day emissions on a performance economy car
With my ktuner i disabled rev hang
What's with all the downshifting? The car weights a buck-o-five soaking wet. Use the brakes.
It's fun?
@@MeynMotorGroup it's fun on the track, but light to light it's just really hard on your car, especially when it's pushing 100k. If it's your car, do whatever the hell you want with it. It just surprised me to see a car reviewer doing it during a review.
Rev matched downshift are completely fine for any car. Car engines and transmissions aren't some fragile components they are built for abuse. If you downshift without rev matching yea absolutely that's a problem. Rev matched downshifts coming to a stop is not a problem for any vehicle there's literally zero stress...which is the entire point of rev matching.
@@MeynMotorGroup Rev matching. Is that what you were doing? Hmmm...
I have 2017 si 17k km hehehe
It's too numb for me
I know what you mean there is a sense of numbness through the steering wheel and even motor almost Audi ish? But I still like it since it's one of the best driving FWD cars I've experienced
Safeer. Sorry about BMW. There trash.
These engines are highly unreliable bead internal engineering
