Thanks for watching!
god i always love how unenergetic and unhyped topher is. he's not some shouty screaming person that makes my ears fold into themselves every time the video loads
it's clear & concise, while still being enthusiastic about the review. def my fav car yt channel
and his downshifts are a thing of beauty as well lolol
@@jettaletta he even drives pretty much exactly like I would so its the closest thing I get to being in it myself
Agree 100%. Really allows for the viewer to pay attention to the sounds and vehicle itself!
you talking about Raitis ride
You mean these types: "HEY WHATS UP GUYS ITS YA BOI DIESEL_BUDDY COMIN' ATCHA WITH A BADASS NEW CAR HOLY SHIT THIS ONES A STICK SO I'MMA SIT ON THAT BEOTCH AND ROTATE, YA BOIIIIII"
MSRP: $27,300
Dealer price after markup: $45,990
Don't you love it?
Yeah lol... get a BMW at that point.
BMW doesn't even compare to the quality and longevity of a civic👌🤌
@@jayhut2262 LOL
As long as fanbois exists dealers are going to take advantage. I wouldn't even pay MSRP for this car.
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!
Was wondering if I'd feel like a downgrade from a v6 challenger but I think your comment is a good sign that that's a no
@@awesometico you definitely won’t regret it
If this car existed last spring when I was shopping I would have bought one. Ended up in a TLX, which is great, but having cheaper running costs and a stick with the Si is tempting. I'm also going to give the Integra a hard look when it finally launches. Not a bad time to be an enthusiast.
The tlx is badass
everyones hating on the integra but if it comes out in spring then I'll probably go for it, if not then I'll just find an si
@@jackmcinnis4510 I would wait for the Type S to arrive..I am pretty sure they will bring one out
honestly even though my 328i currently makes more power I like this and may have to make the switch especially for the tech
Nah, you picked a great choice with the TLX
What a beautiful sounding engine and considering the gas mileage and the fact that it'll run for 300,000 miles seems like a real bargain to me.
The 1.5t? lol
Coming from a service advisor at a Honda dealer, I don’t believe I’ve seen a 1.5T with 200k yet, much less 300k. Best so far was around 110k and it was rough. That being said, most people don’t actually take care of their 1.5Ts and that contributes to them failing. They’re not the Honda engines of old where you can abuse it endlessly and it keep going, they require maintenance. With proper maintenance, I could see one possibly reaching 200k, but it’d be a stretch.
Yes! Finally, been waiting for this POV night driving 2022 Honda Si. Thank you, sir! 😊👍🏻
Love this car. A lot of bang for the buck and the styling is back to what it should be. Shame about the rev hang and the weird piped-in engine noise.
I imagine you could tune out the rev hang and disable the fake noise, and you'd have a hell of a little car. Can't wait to see the Type R.
I agree. Take care of those two things and you’re good.
too bad you'll never get it for the price
@@AdamOutOfPocket God forbid we get cars at or close to msrp. If only.
@@frazierl7898 I’m getting mine for 33k down in Miami, the negotiations I had to do to get it even down to that was like I was tryna save a hostage, these cars are not cheap rn
The piped in engine noise is annoying and will be one of the first things I do when I get mine. Same as the 10th gen Si/Type R. Honda really should have just made a button or a menu toggle. You actually have to disconnect the module for that behind the glove box. Rev hang is because of CARB emissions laws. Aftermarket tune eliminates that as well.
anyone else notice on the tach that only the numbers around the needle light up?? I love cool tech like this
dop you also love the coolant temp needle delete? Or the heated seat delete? Fog light delete, Full center digital cluster delete, 5 HP delete, Adaptive dampers delete. Dual zone climate delete? those are all my favorites

Thanks for checking this out again, your style of reviews are almost one of a kind and I love it! I ordered a sonic grey SI a couple weeks ago in Canada, so I’m lucky to have a few more features then the one your driving.
They are nice cars but I am in Canada as well and the Si isn’t worth 42 grand here. The dealers are full blown scum but when and things will return to normal I hope people remember these dealers for what they are. The MSRP of this car is 33, 800 ish with PDI and freight.
@@kennordsfan1494 I was lucky enough to get one for msrp, in my area of BC. Taxes and everything came out to be about $37,500 with a couple accessories.
@@andreask3087 In a dealer in Alberta it was 42,300 plus tax would be 44,415 for the orange color Si. I am needing a new car as well as my lease will be due in 4 months. And the prices and interest rates are horrible.My previous lease was .09% 39 month term and 190 a month on a 18 Si and only 38,000 KMS on it MSRP was 30,8632 in 2019 can sell it i guess and make some money and wait for these prices to drop. 🤷♂️. Enjoy your need Si
@@kennordsfan1494 wow man, yeah interest rates aren’t the best that’s for sure. If I were you I’d look around in BC to import to Alberta because all said and done you’ll prolly save money. I mean where I am I’m 3 hours from the Alberta border.
I really like the styling both inside and out. The ergonomics also look great, down to the simple sans serif font that displays the speed. I would buy one in this exact orange spec if I was looking for a FWD sporty sedan.
wait, ive been watching you forever and just now realized you're driving 5mins from where i live...small world, anyways love the content, you helped me pick out my new 22 civic si i just picked up yesterday, love the vids
Thanks for the vid. I bought a black one after watching your drive in cali. Mine is a daily driver/family hauler.. So far it’s been nothing but a treat. thanks for the quality content - def helpful for a first time new car buyer.
Owned a MK10 for a year or so, really enjoyed it. Only thing I didn't like was the adaptive suspension being tied to the steering and the immense rev-hang. Glad to see this fixes one of those issues at least, even if that means no adaptive dampers at all.
Rev hang is thanks to CARB. A solid choice for a daily driver and definitely a solid base to add some additional fun mods. Being in Canada - I'll be using Ktuner/Hondata to take care of that rev hang and getting a nice boost of 30-40hp/tq as well.
For daily driving the rev hang actually makes shifting a lot smoother. I have the phearable tune on my Si and they leave rev hang enabled by default. TSP tunes take it out and people mention that it is much more jerky. I have a 2020 and my rev hang seems better than in the 2017-2019 models.
@@Tool0GT92 The jerkiness can be fixed with a motor mount
Tune it = voiding your warranty
@@closg9309 I'm not worried about it. You can flash it to stock, plus they have to prove the tune damaged whatever you are claiming on the warranty. Plus the 1.5T doesn't have a lot of issues so its fine with me.
Many people have complained about how conservative it is in the styling department. I appreciate it. Not everything that is quick needs to be visually loud. Hopefully in the next few years they will add the Canadian exclusive stuff to the US market cars
Some people say it’s boring, I say it’s clean. Looks really cool but will age well like GTIs do.
Was looking for another review.. perfect timing. This car is such a great value for the price.
If I can find one for the correct price around here sometime I'd really consider upgrading from my 8th gen.
Really liking the night drives, btw
I love my fa5 so much but same here bro bro time for 11th gen 😂
Really cool that the Si is made to be driven hard and fun
One of my favorite car reviewers.. my favorite of all the 22 si reviews. Driving skills are on point and it would be fun to run some canyons with you. That being said I ordered an orange one back in November , still no eta 3 months later.. It took over 5 dealerships to even order one for me, let alone with the specs and price I was willing to pay. Haha I would walk in waving cash in the air and they would all pretty much tell me to pound sand 🤣 .
It is annoying that everyone states this as a car “under 28k” it’s not so that needs to be removed from people vocabulary.. Markup is just a reality of the times we’re living in and people are going to have to except that if they want this, or any other car for that matter.. I’m in California and some dealerships are asking a 8-10k markup which is insane for any new honda no matter the model. This is coming from a person who has owned a multitude of honda models ranging from 88 to 2017.. My advice is to have everything broken down on paper for what your willing to to spend.. Be aggressive and see through the markups vs added on expenses. I was able to Secure one with a 2,900 markup which is acceptable to me. Can’t wait
Canada has important features and pricing that America doesn't and makes this car a lot harder to like.
Man I absolutely love your videos. You, tedward, your sub for the channel, and other car reviewers are like my morning coffee haha. I've really been watching your vids on your old brz and the review on the newer one. I have an nb miata currently and would like to upgrade to the brz platform. With used car prices I'm not seeing a point in getting the previous gen when the new brz retails for 5k more than used ones with 40k miles. Its nuts and I might have to wait longer until prices go down or I get more income. :(
I can definitely relate to the morning coffee, these car reviewers legit put me to a good start in the mornings - Topher, Tedward, Jayemm On Cars, Zygrene, etc. 💪👍
The thing I love about the si is that you can see how planted the car is even at its upper limit
Picking mine up today! Can't wait!
How's the 2022 Civic SI with performance , power, and handling by your experience?
@@thethreatwrestling.7053 The car handles great, stiff suspension but not annoying. The rev-matching works great and shifts are short and smooth. The clutch pedal seems a bit long of a throw and I'm 6ft, and my knee sometimes is hitting the steering wheel which is as far back as it can go. For power, it seems like it could use more, maybe it just feels different to me being a turbo car. I had a 2013 civic Si sedan and compared them next to each other on the highway. They're both almost equal in power but the 2022 just slowly pulls ahead of the 2013. The stock all season tires are also not the greatest, but they are not terrible. All in, it's a great car, would highly recommend it! Just might need a slight tune to maybe 220hp.
Man... the engine sound is much much nicer to hear without the fake engine noise...
This Civic has one of these nicest interiors I’ve seen in a car of this category just perfect and above all competitors.
The latest generation of civics are so beautiful imo. Best civic design wise
This may be my next car. Right now I have a 8th gen and looking to change cars. It’s going to be either this or the new integra.
U HAVE THE BEST REVIES. I WATCH ALL OF THEM
Have a '19' SI Coupe which I like, and exceeded my expectations, and glad I have it. But dealing with the rev hang for 2 1/2 years nothing could convince me to go through that again with the new model. I just drive It normal now which is sad and defeats the point of having a stick.
hondata flashpro dude... or ktuner... gets rid of it
If we can get the Si with the same features that the Canadian spec has, I'd be more enticed to buy the car. Great review nonetheless
sounds impressive, much better than the previous gen
The only reason I didn’t pull the trigger on this car is that for the high mark ups does not have electric seats and a build in navigation system
Not sure why I'm watching this since I picked up mine 3 days ago... LOL, great POV regardless!
what'd you pay for it?
@@jackmcinnis4510 I'm in Canada and I paid MSRP plus 279$ theft insurance
@@Wilsonever if only it was like that in the us, everything is marked up $10k or more
@@jackmcinnis4510 My mom recently bought a 2022 RAV4 that was worth 31k but we paid a 5k markup
i’m in love with this car.
Makes me all the more excited to see the Integra.
This with leather, fastback, and either adaptive or slightly softer ride mated to their ILX DCT? Perfection. Just hope not the TLX 10-auto.... and god please not the Civic CVT.
Knowing acura they SHOULDNT put a CVT on it. Its confirmed it will come with a 6 speed manual. Maybe they will use the 8 speed DCT that was on the old ILX or a 10 speed who knows
New Integra will be 35K MSRP = 45K with dealer Mark ups plus taxes and Fees?
Dude that touch screen took 30 seconds to come on lol. Ridiculous.
The sound is amazing man. Like kinda old school sound
This is as much car as most people ever need.
It would be an easy sell if it had all of the features the Canadian market cars have. Hopefully they’ll add the missing stuff for the next model year
In Malaysia 🇲🇾, this civic model we called as "Civic FE" which only come with CVT transmission and right-hand drive... btw, nice driving and engine sound so litzz bro.🔥🔥
Sucks they don’t have the coupe anymore.
Unless you are getting the Canadian Civic Si, it is better to get the Jetta GLI to be honest. They omitted too many features to make space for upcoming integra.
Makes me excited for the manual integra I'm about to get!
Awesome car. Too bad in order to get the truly FULLY loaded SI you have to go to Canada. Honda is only selling the fully loaded Si only in Canada for some reason. Factory fog lights and a couple more options only Canadian Si's have.
Yeah it is kind of lame. I hope the type r doesnt get the same treatment because i am going to be trading in my ‘18 type r for the 2023 whenever it goes on sale.
It’s always been like this tho Canadian cars are much better equipped same with other brands too.
They’ve been doing this since the 07 si 🤣 Canada gets everything better then us when it comes to Honda
Man if this car got rid of the rev hang and it were faster, I’d really be thinking hard about it. It’s nice!
Tune it make it faster and eliminate the rev hang
Put $1000 in it and you can solve both of those issues
When will there be cars like this? My dealership has FIVE Civics of any type (SoCal)... That's why the markups.
I love my new Honda Civic 22SI. But the fact that Honda puts so many more options in the Canada version is mind blowing to me. What's up with that. Just build the car with all the options and sell it the same in Canada in the USA.hello Honda!!!!!!!
The 2020 civic si 2 door looked the best, aggressive spoiler and less family car looking
I currently have a 2020 Si with full bolt ons, I plan on getting an 11th gen Type R, probably it's final year and if its the last ICE civic I'll keep it forever.
I have one in Sonic grey. It’s fun to drive and my first manual car. I love it
I still prefer the last generation. My 2019 looks like something a young person would drive. The new one looks like I have 4 kids that are in middle school and I listen to Third Day
This new one feels like it has more class in my opinion, but it would've been nice to get a coupe, at least there's no more hdmi exhaust
If that’s the case then the new one is the car for me lol
Dare I say it but the 2016-2021 looks more modern. Tech wise this one has an edge.
This car isn’t for me, if I had to get a new car I’d pick the Mazda 3
2019 looks disgusting.
If the new Integra drives and handles like this car I’m buying it. I’ve been holding off on buying a car because I want to see what the new Integra is all about. I could get the Civic Si but I prefer the added features and the mature look of the new Integra.
I think the si looks more mature than the Integra. The Integra looks like... idk....
I don’t like the look of the Integra st all. Id rather the SI or the Type R if its priced the same
Red cloth buckets that look like something out of a 70s Camaro? I'm waiting for the Integra.
I love it! The color is pretty 😍
Hoping to upgrade to a 2022 SI from my 2015 CR-Z. Wish we got the heated seats though.
This car looks like a fun car to drive seem like it's very nimble to toss around corners
Night drive seemed cooler than the day drive.
Let’s see how the Integra improves on this.
Oh hell yeah that rev limit is badass !!
I love this man
If you can I’d appreciate you doing one with the new gr 86!
yeah these are my 2 options too. after having a 2022 lx and being impressed with the chassis on the base model, the si seems like the better choice. but rwd on the brz is def making it hard
You’re an excellent reviewer. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Wow that color actually looks nice on the civic!
I'm debating between the Si vs the Sport touring hatchback. Kinda wish Honda released a hatch version too
Love the dash details.
Watching this video was like playing need for speed underground
Stick shift is the best.
Now if only it was offered as a hatch Si
Every car 🚗 like that Honda it has that Circle
How is the road noise on the highway compared to the BRZ? I loved my BRZ but wow it was loud on a road trip haha
Imagine the Acura Integra 🤔🤯🤩😎
MSRP + 10,000k markup! Niiiiiice! :|
The only thing from stopping me pulling the trigger on one of these is the idle-stop feature. Is there a way to permanently disable it?
Im surprised the Gen 11 Si doesnt have dual zone climate control or heated seats. I have the Gen 10 and it had those features
Man if this thing wasn’t laughably ugly it would be a pretty sick car.
I am liking a lot more this video after knowing the MSRP of the 2023 Honda Civic Typer R $43,000k 🤦🏽♂️. Now the Civic SI with a few mods seems like the way to go (if I go Honda).
I want one so bad!!!
Since the fake noise is mostly in the sport setting, can you just use individual mode and select most of the presets from sport ? Would that eliminate the fake sound or at least make it sound like in normal mode but with full throttle response etc ?
Just curious. Have you tried stalling the car the first time u drive it?
Cool vid. I just said goodbye to my dear ole 04 Acura TSX 6 speed and I don't see many sedan options that compare to its size and driving fun but this looks like a great option and since they're both Honda products I'm sure I'd adapt easily to the SI. My only concern is the reliability of that small displacement turbo. Any idea on the data of its long-term performance? TIA.
I like the sound a lot more than my 07 SI. Having power down low must be nice as well.
I have an 08 Si, the k20 is leagues better sounding though with some mods imo. Upgraded intakes make them so throaty and mean. It’s all fake in the new Si
you need to get your ears checked
El coche de mis sueños...😍
if he calls these imperfect/not good roads, bro needs to come and drive in india UP especially
Wireless CarPlay? You in Canada?
Thanks for this night drive! Do you know what the yellow light is by the odometer 👀🤔
I wish you could just swapped the 10th gen for 11 th gen interior but keeps 10th gen looks
Compared to my 10th gen 2018 EXT, you get less and pay more.
Not a fan. My local Honda dealerships are dying for me to trade in my Civic for the 11th gen. After test driving, I found it to me more sluggish compared to my 2018 Civic. The exterior lacks distinction and now looks identical to the Accord. It also has a smaller trunk, smaller glove compartment, smaller armrest, no extra large cup holder, one less USB port, and no side view camera. All that for just $1,000 more MSRP than my 2018.
Thanks, but no thanks. I’ll hold onto to my 2018 until perhaps the 12th gen.
Can you do a video about daily driving a rwd vehicle in the winter conditions? I'm specifically thinking about getting a miata. But any car that I buy will need to be a daily.
Hope it returns to Mexico one day
Is the artificial engine noise a recording? How is coming through the speakers, and if you turn down the volume on the stereo, does it go away? Just curious how it works
Why would someone do this over a Jetta GLI? Similar priced, way better options, better performance, etc
Reliability maybe? Idk
It has 3 of them
Nice drivetrain
What i don't understand Topher is your saying there is rev hang because of fuel emissions, yet on my FK8 there is no rev hang.
How is that hard to understand. Emission regulations get tighter so car companies do extra stuff to clean the air coming out of a vehicle. Real question is…. Is it really significant enough?
@@MaddNomad1015 Its hard to understand because on my car there is no rev hang, same make different model. If emissions were that important then this would apply to my model as well. Now do you understand.
Notification squad
I want this car sooo bad, but live in a snowy climate. decisionss....
Gti vs Si, which one is better for you? also have driven avante N? If so, among three of them, which is the best?
The GTI is another league.
Gti competes with the Type R
The GTI is superior in most aspects, but if you want your car to actually last you, then go with honda lol
@@XAMPOL as comapred to the SI I can say yes GTI is the better car but as comapred to the Type R it's not the best unless you only want straight line speed and then ofcourse the DSG is a win win especially when you tune it if I want a manual I'll simply get the SI coz Hondas reliability is simply ahead of VW and Honda does makes one of the best manual transmission and these new civics are very fun to drive especially on twisty roads with excellent handling if I wanted a automatic then I'd simply lease a GTI DSG without any further thinking again this is just my opinion regarding these vehicles so vw keyboard warriors who come and read this plz don't get offended or anything
Starting to learn stick shift from work. Eventually will be getting a first car soon would this be a good car to prefect driving manual. I’m driving Toyota Corolla with a 6 speed or the new GR-86 at work and I’m slowly getting the hang of things
Can you review the 2022 Subaru WRX manual transmission
Ignoring fuel costs, what makes this better than WRX?
Fuel economy, reliability, styling (if we’re talking about the 22 wrx), lower msrp, more comfortable ride.
Si’s have always been kind of slept when it comes to handling. Stock si’s are more planted, sharp, and nimble compared to gti’s and wrx’s and that’s what makes up for the lower hp.
If you don’t need to drive in much snow I’d give the Si a test drive at least.
@@TheRyansLion Great info - Had 86 CRX and 2001 Civic Ex both +++, never drove a WRX or Gti...
Tedward's soon-to-be new car
Honda still with that slooooowww ass touchscreen startup. That shit has always taken forever. Really a shame they haven't improved that. Often times, it doesn't even activate reverse camera in time to back out of the parking spot. Let me guess: the TPMS still can't tell you the pressure in each tire or even which tire is low, right?
