2022 Honda Civic Si Review // A Sensible Hero

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ธ.ค. 2021
  • The 2022 Honda Civic Si ($33,150 CAD starting, $27,300 USD starting) has returned after taking a step back for the 2021 model year. While this new generation may have a few less horsepower than the previous one, it now comes equipped with a limited slip differential. That will hopefully help make this new Si even more fun off the line and in a corner. As a manual only sporty daily driver, can the 2022 Honda Civic Si give you the best of both worlds? Can you have your cake on the commute and eat it too on the drive home? Watch to see what the guys think! SUBSCRIBE!

    It's crazy seeing how much extra features the Canadian Si gets when compared to the American Si. American consumers got screwed over even harder this gen.

    We just got a 2024 (nearly identical to this one) and I have one word to describe it, "balanced". It's the perfect car (under 40k) for someone who wants a comfortable and practical ride 95% of the time but wants the other 5% to be fun and exciting. Well done Honda, well done.

      wait until it starts giving you issues. I have a '22 Si and it's on its 3rd steering rack. Now the cruise control randomly turns off and won't turn back on without turning off the car and restarting it. Wireless Android auto randomly disconnects and forgets my phone even exists which can only be solved by factory resetting the head unit. Refuses to stay aligned properly as the steering wheek is somehow perpetually offset by a degree or two. It's incredibly frustrating.

    Rev hang has to do mostly with electronics and the ecu. It can be fixed a little by using a lighter fly-wheel. But it is purposely put on the car for emissions to burn off excess fuel, and can be removed with a simple tune.

    Weldone guys, I like the way you guys look at each car objectively and really assess it for what the platform really is and not trying to compare it with an M3 or something along those lines. Take a car, analyse it for what it truly is, that's great reviewing, once again, weldone guys, I really enjoy your format over anything else out there, the way Thomas and James complement each other is just a joy to watch.

      I agree it’s the best one ever made but I also agree for this day and age it coulda been way better in a lot of aspects such as power plant, gearing, optional free summer tires etc. I mean there is no justifying the price tag of 28k for 200 HP out of a 1.5 Thats getting at best 0-60 in the 7 seconds and quarter mile in the 15s. I know 0-60 and 1/4 isn’t everything but when paying nearly 30k for a car that’s advertised as a daily performance sedan, it just doesn’t sit right.

    Nice review. I had an ‘05 Civic Si, my 2nd favorite car I’ve owned after my current ND1 Miata. The new Si is one of the cars I’m considering for its replacement, along with the new GR86 or BRZ. But I might just wait to see the production version of the new Integra. I know many people hate it, but the Si drivetrain in a 4-door hatch - and an even nicer interior, plus likely getting the amenities we should have gotten on the US Si - really appeals to me. I’m also considering the Civic Sport Touring hatch w/6-speed manual, but really want the additional power of the Si. Can’t wait to drive all of these and see which I like best!

      I just went from the 05 Si to the new Sport. It’s great in many ways but power is lacking. I really miss my Si and wish I’d have got the new Si. I opted for the hatch because I put bikes inside. However after putting on a hitch on with a rack the hatch is less important.

      looks is definitely subjective. Imo it looks bland at best. Think of a lukewarm almost stale milk and how excited you would be drinking it. That's how I think of the SI looks, again. Which is a shame, the tech and the interior deserve better.

    If this specific version was released in the US, I would've already made my choice of next vehicle, especially with Hondata debunking the power loss. I guess Honda is really banking on the new Integra to win over younger enthusiasts (others have said it and I agree, all the missing features will most likely show up in that car when it arrives). For now, the Jetta GLI will remain at the top of my list for next car.

    • @christianaviles2199
      @christianaviles2199 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Just from exterior aesthetics POV I feel like this looks a little better than the upcoming Integra, which is a little awkward with it's hatch design. But I'm also sure they deconted the US Spec Si to not canabalize and promote the Integra as the "premium" option. If they had this spec here I'd likely get this as well. Wireless Android Auto but no wireless charger?!? Really?
      I still might consider this though as a nice fun daily.

Sometimes I wish I had gone with something a bit quicker like a Ford Focus ST or even a Civic Si; but I think I made a fair compromise for the extra reliability (particularly in Ford's case).
