Jesus Urbina, they come with 205hp stock and the new ones have a turbo putting out 20lbs of boost at sea level. 0-60 of 5.9 seconds, 1 second slower than the type R. They're not slow. He's just a hater who's proving my point "those things suck, they're slow, nobody likes them" coming from a guy who's never driven one and is talking bad about one of the best selling cars in the world...
To put things into perspective, I raced my buddy's 02 RSX K20z1 with some bolt ons and kept up pretty well. He had just a little bit on my stock car. Chasing an e46 through windy roads, kept up well there too, not enough torque in the straight aways though but the handling is spectacular. Got some coilovers and they ride great
civics will always be a great car. not because of the performances but it just works....forever. i mean i bet most civic haters probably owned or drove a civic for a time in their life.
I bought an 06 Civic Si for my first car with 114k almost a year ago now and it’s a blast man. I was always interested in cars to an extent, but driving this car is really what made me realize my love for driving and just cars in general.
I own a 2008 Civic Si coupe and agree with everything Alex says. This machine is an absolute blast to drive and it's just so much fun to cruise around in with some good buds. VTEC just puts a smile on everyones face. The 8th gen civic is absolutely the best looking of all. I fucking love my civic.
Why not put this larger engine in the new Si with the turbo and give an even bigger upgrade to the Type R? When they put the super tiny engine with turbo in the new Si don't the limit the overall power it can potentially make when compared with older civics with larger displacement engines?
I got a 2008 Civic Si and a Supercharged 1993 Mazda Miata and i'll take some fun slow cars over unreliable expensive cars anyday ! Cheap parts, easy to maintain all around the best.
I had honda civic si 2013 brand new switched it in 2018 for a gti stage 3 400 hp. im selling it today to go buy an 08 civic si coupe. Volkswagen is so expansive in maintenance compare to honda.
I've got an 06 Si, at 180k miles. I've had it for 10 years. No engine upgrades, but tein coilovers makes it so fun to drive. For anyone interested, get a good clutch and know at some point you will need to change the timing chain tensioner (you do not have to pull the motor).
8th/9th gen Civic Si models are probably one of the best daily drivers you can get in this age. Especially if you got the sedan model. 6spd manual, fun to wring out, very fun in the twisties, Honda reliability and a huge aftermarket support.
I own a 2010 si and still love it every day in 2022. This baby is a dream and even with just FWD goes great in the snow in Maine, especially with some studded tires (turn off the VSA). I want to keep this car forever. Addition: I was driving up a steep hill in the city yesterday and got on the gas because I was playing and the car makes a beautiful sound, and two people on the sidewalk yelled, "HONDA!!!". hahah
1yr later, anything I should look for in an 8th gen? My eyes on a 2010 EX, live near city so manual isnt fun for me. I know the motor mounts are weak & the bushings in the control arms, but anything else I should look for? 2010 EX coup with 144k. Thanks for feedback!
Bought an 8th gen back in 2014 and love it. The best part is you highlighted the great stuff about it. They work well, look great, and maintenance isn't costly on em.
My older brother just gave me his 2008 Honda Civic. Previously drove a 2012 BMW and it is night and day. I absolutely fell in love with the Civic. Gas is great, fun to drive, you really just can’t beat it. Great video!
I’ve been a VW guy for the last 15 years, can’t even count how many I’ve had now, but I just bought a base model 2006 1.8l 8th gen for a cheap beater, my first Honda weirdly enough, and I gotta say, I actually love the thing, it’s a fun little car to drive, and doesn’t look outdated even though it’s 15 years old now.
I just bought an 08 4 door SI for christmas. I love it. 100k miles on it, but i am able to work on it and I am no mechanic. An intake, header and exhaust with someone to tune it with Hondata flashpro and you have a decently fast little ricecar.
@Dylan Wang Stock, I agree with you. But with FlashPro, vtec engagement is lowered, improving midrange torque/throttle response. So worth it. Both gens are dope tho
For me the 9th gen Si is my favorite. Because I feel it is an enhanced 8th gen with a better motor for an aftermarket turbo to really shine. Agreed there were some compromises in the enhancement but nothing deal breaking. It is just too easy to get 300+hp at the wheel out of a 9th gen without going insane with the build budget. And that is without a turbo. If you have turbo budget 400+hp is just the beginning. I also don't drive a compact JDM to hual human cargo. It is a driving experience for the driver and a lucky enough single female passenger. So yes coupe all day.
I still miss my 2009 Civic SI (Black). I purchased it new in 11/2008 and traded it in, in 03/2019 for a new 2019 Civic Type R (Black). Love the Civic Type R, especially its 306HP and 295 lbs-ft of torque, but I still miss my 2009 SI with VTEC running up at 8,000 RPM. 08/01/2021 HP
The FB6 was definitely the epitome of what a modern SI should be, especially for someone going into their 30's. Best style, decent drive train and all the essential amenities.
When you said look at all this space, that is exactly what I noticed about the older cars versus the newer ones today. In the newer ones, you feel cramped in most of them. I feel like my 2007 Si has a lot more room in it compared to newer cars and I like the feeling of having more space and simplicity. It isn't the fastest car, but it is FUN to drive.
I've got the 2010 Civic si. Love driving it around! It's loaded with a Skunk2 exhaust and headers, Skunk2 intake, Short shifter with spoon shift knob, set of enkai rims with toyo tires. Very fun daily driver!
I love my 09 coupe. I also have a full air lift performance kit. But I have also added a kraftwerk supercharger aswell which makes it way more enjoyable! And reliable.

literally took my 8th gen si 4door to college and it was it was perfect. Hauled everyone around no problem and handled the long drives without a sweat. Love my 8th gen
Personally a Sedan person but the 8th gen is great . I love that it’s a bit bigger than older civics lmao , especially with how versatile it is . It really stands out
I have 2 8th gen and the only thing I wish they would change is making it a rear wheel drive or at least give you an option for that I bet Honda civics would sell like crazy
That the last of the reliable Hondas. Those k series cars were incredible. The 2.4s were easier to live with but th k20s just revved to the limiter so freely. It may cost more upfront but it'll long pay you back in longevity. You can put 300k miles on those cars.
I still have my wife's 8th gen as a small project car of mine. It's not an SI but man do i absolutely love this car. I'll always have love for Honda ever since my old Accord saved my life in a bad crash.
I have an 06 LX coupe. Wish I had gotten an Si, but I can’t really afford to get a new car right now, so I’m just trying to make the best of what I have :D
I've have a 93 si, 98 si and a 2000 integra. I just bought a 2007 civic lx 5 spd . Its not any si, but I love this car . It rides so smooth and handles so nice . Being a honda fan , i was not disappointed.
Definitely the Used Honda Civic to buy! Hopefully I get one someday. In Jakarta (Indonesia), we got this model in the 4 door form (2012 - 2015) with the 1.8 or 2.0 engine and it looks better then previous models.
I bought an 09 civic si 4 years ago with 180k miles. Added coilovers exhaust, cold air intake. Now 274k miles and it's the most fun car, I can't see myself without!
Helical LSD (Same as DC2 Type R), $2300 with labor to put a TSX K24a2 in it, tons of mod support, incredible handling, great styling and looks, reliable, engines can hold 400 WHP+ indefinitely... I can go on lmao.. FG2 gang! 8th gen gang! SI gang!
4:32 . 100% I bought mine off the original owner who only fixed it at the dealership, it's the newest car I live had and it sure feels like it. Feels like brand new
Had a 6th gen, two 8th gens and now a 7th gen EM2 that i thought i would never own. I may go back to 8th or 9th gen if i dont Kswap my EM2. Really want an EVO X, WRX or Mustang GT but something tells me it will be another Civic lol.
If you don't swap it, the D17 in the EM2 is prone to head gasket failure, so keep an eye on that. If it starts pushing coolant out of the reservoir, the engine is toast - the blocks tend to warp in the middle, and cylinder 2 or 3 will blow to the water jacket. A swap would be best if you really like the car.
James Haulenbeek Wow, thanks for the headsup! Im not familiar with the D17 so, I will keep an eye on the motor and know a few mechanics who work on Honda's, so i will see what they recommend what to do as of now. I should have something done within a few months since i've had the EM2 for a little under 1 month now.
I’m 22 been driving my 8th gen for 4 years absolutely love it and glad I bought it back in 2017. It’s by no means fast but it’ll keep up with new wrx which is a huge surprise
Lmao the amount of BS the IGtv vid had. Now coming to here the comments are more positive!! 8th gens are becoming the go to civics now🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽 I love my sedan
I just got a Honda Civic LX from '08, although I'm a BimmerMan, and my parents have a '11 X5, which is hella fun and smooth... but i love my Civic, that's my blue baby and it has GREAT space everywhere and it's prefect since I'm going to college!
I’ve had two 8th gen civics. I had the Habanero Red 2007 Si coupe (had it for a few years sold it with 120k miles) and now I have the Fiji Blue 2007 Si coupe with 60k miles. #8thGenSiGang
Thank you for this video. Seriously. I have an 08 Honda Civic Ex coupe and it's rough around the edges all the way around, BUT, IT drives so good and gets about 400 miles a tank that's unheard of AND it's a manual. I would buy it again. No matter mine is beat all to hell, but it runs. And I 💜 it. Take care!!
Look at all this space - I almost laughed!!! The Civic, especially the Coupe definitely feels extremely small in my opinion. All opinions aside though, these are very good cars for the money. Honda's still need love - I'm a VTEC fan! Good review once again :)
I own an 8th gen civic ex coupe, and I love my car. The only things I've done to it are an aftermarket engine air filter, a 4-inch muffler and tip, and a resonator delete. I've done a few minor interior modifications but it's just a phone holder, dash cam, aftermarket touch screen radio with Apple carplay and Android auto and a steering wheel cover. Painted the wheels black, got new red lug nuts, replaced the tail lights for aftermarket tail lights, replaced Chrome Civic badge with a black one. I also changed the bulbs to LEDs in the running lights and the low beams and I've replaced the badged Honda grill with a badgeless mesh grill. It doesn't take a lot to make these cars fun and reliable at the same time and that's what I love about the Honda Civic I just wish mine was an SI.
The 1999 and 2000 Honda Civic Si (EM1) are the sexiest Civic's, Honda has ever created. There is nothing like that mighty, high revving B16A2. I have the 2000 EM1 in Flamenco Black Pearl. I've kept up with the 8th Gen and 9th Gen Si's on the highway. But once I get to 5th gear, its over. They'll leave me LOL
Me: But it’s still only a Civic! Civic fans: *Getting ready to absolutely destroy me* All jokes, love you Civic fans!! From your friends at Rev Media!!
Is the SI the BEST generation of the Honda Civic? Let us know what you think!

For me it’s the 98 Civic sir coupe
8th gen is cool but id rather have a sedan si
96-00 is the best gen ever, followed by the 92-95 you young bucks missed out on a fun time on the streets.
I owned one was a EX but it is the best gen in my opinion
I would definitely got for the 8th gen sedan si not the coupe
I had an '06 civic lx and a '18 SI. They're great cars, it seems like anyone who hates on Hondas has never actually driven one. They're great cars
Berner Porres but sis aren’t that slow, they come with almost 200hp stock, stock for stock they can keep up with some already turbod cars out there

Can't use a powerful engine on the public streets anyway so why not just enjoy a high-revving economical engine?

as a 10' 8th gen si coupe owner i can agree. Owning this car has changed my perspective about FWD cars entirely, it's a great daily and i love it.
That is one of the nicest oem steering wheels I’ve ever seen
I always like to think of Hondas as sportier Toyotas.
@@FoxyChariot that’s an odd perspective to say the least
Definitely the Used Honda Civic to buy! Hopefully I get one someday. In Jakarta (Indonesia), we got this model in the 4 door form (2012 - 2015) with the 1.8 or 2.0 engine and it looks better then previous models.
The way this civic look make me think about this rsx bodystyle ! i love rsx's
Not really, em2 looks more similar to the rsx since em2 is basically the cheaper version of rsx lol
I bought an 09 civic si 4 years ago with 180k miles. Added coilovers exhaust, cold air intake. Now 274k miles and it's the most fun car, I can't see myself without!
Love my 9th gen but dang that 8th gen looks nioce!
Helical LSD (Same as DC2 Type R), $2300 with labor to put a TSX K24a2 in it, tons of mod support, incredible handling, great styling and looks, reliable, engines can hold 400 WHP+ indefinitely... I can go on lmao..
FG2 gang! 8th gen gang! SI gang!
LOVE this gen ❤️
4:32 . 100% I bought mine off the original owner who only fixed it at the dealership, it's the newest car I live had and it sure feels like it. Feels like brand new
Had a 6th gen, two 8th gens and now a 7th gen EM2 that i thought i would never own. I may go back to 8th or 9th gen if i dont Kswap my EM2. Really want an EVO X, WRX or Mustang GT but something tells me it will be another Civic lol.
If you don't swap it, the D17 in the EM2 is prone to head gasket failure, so keep an eye on that. If it starts pushing coolant out of the reservoir, the engine is toast - the blocks tend to warp in the middle, and cylinder 2 or 3 will blow to the water jacket.
A swap would be best if you really like the car.
James Haulenbeek Wow, thanks for the headsup! Im not familiar with the D17 so, I will keep an eye on the motor and know a few mechanics who work on Honda's, so i will see what they recommend what to do as of now. I should have something done within a few months since i've had the EM2 for a little under 1 month now.
I love my 2010 si. She's a keeper!

PREACH ALEX!!!
Literally all i want from a car...
Omg thank you so much for giving the 8th gen si coupe the love and attention it needs and deserves
I love my 8th gen si coupe but it has a blown head gasket 🤣💔 don’t worry tho it’s at the shop getting fixed
I’m 22 been driving my 8th gen for 4 years absolutely love it and glad I bought it back in 2017. It’s by no means fast but it’ll keep up with new wrx which is a huge surprise
Lmao the amount of BS the IGtv vid had. Now coming to here the comments are more positive!! 8th gens are becoming the go to civics now🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽 I love my sedan
8th gen are not the “to ho civics” sorry to break your heart buddy
Kidscope 10th gen si ftw
Kidscope they %100 are the best si pre turbo years
Ayo nick, how much are people asking for fa5’s in your area? I feel like people ask too much for them in the Bay Area (around $9k for 120k+ miles)
i have an si coupe and it is just the best thing ever
I just got a Honda Civic LX from '08, although I'm a BimmerMan, and my parents have a '11 X5, which is hella fun and smooth... but i love my Civic, that's my blue baby and it has GREAT space everywhere and it's prefect since I'm going to college!
Alex walking away at the end gets me every time💀😂
I’ve had two 8th gen civics. I had the Habanero Red 2007 Si coupe (had it for a few years sold it with 120k miles) and now I have the Fiji Blue 2007 Si coupe with 60k miles. #8thGenSiGang
Lmfao everybody knows the first mod you always get on a civic si is the red type r badges XD
Thank you for this video. Seriously. I have an 08 Honda Civic Ex coupe and it's rough around the edges all the way around, BUT, IT drives so good and gets about 400 miles a tank that's unheard of AND it's a manual. I would buy it again. No matter mine is beat all to hell, but it runs. And I 💜 it. Take care!!
Look at all this space - I almost laughed!!! The Civic, especially the Coupe definitely feels extremely small in my opinion. All opinions aside though, these are very good cars for the money. Honda's still need love - I'm a VTEC fan! Good review once again :)
having both an civic coupe and brz the civic does feel spacious
I had a 7th gen ex b4 I picked up a 08 si. Big difference between those 2 coupes driving and interior feel.
I own an 8th gen civic ex coupe, and I love my car. The only things I've done to it are an aftermarket engine air filter, a 4-inch muffler and tip, and a resonator delete. I've done a few minor interior modifications but it's just a phone holder, dash cam, aftermarket touch screen radio with Apple carplay and Android auto and a steering wheel cover. Painted the wheels black, got new red lug nuts, replaced the tail lights for aftermarket tail lights, replaced Chrome Civic badge with a black one. I also changed the bulbs to LEDs in the running lights and the low beams and I've replaced the badged Honda grill with a badgeless mesh grill. It doesn't take a lot to make these cars fun and reliable at the same time and that's what I love about the Honda Civic I just wish mine was an SI.
"Not everything needs to be fast"
Blasphemy
Lmaooo
Still have my 2009 Civic EX. That car man will not die.
Sheeesh I would’ve brought my 8th gen if you guys were closer
You mean your 10th gen?
Tony broke up with his 8th gen and cheated on her with a 10 gen civic
The 1999 and 2000 Honda Civic Si (EM1) are the sexiest Civic's, Honda has ever created. There is nothing like that mighty, high revving B16A2.
I have the 2000 EM1 in Flamenco Black Pearl.
I've kept up with the 8th Gen and 9th Gen Si's on the highway. But once I get to 5th gear, its over. They'll leave me LOL
Me: But it’s still only a Civic!
Civic fans: *Getting ready to absolutely destroy me*
All jokes, love you Civic fans!! From your friends at Rev Media!!
😡😡😂😂
Ahahahaah
😂🤘🏼
Fitment Industries thanks guys!!🤘🏼🤘🏼
I was about to destroy you lol
2009 honda civic was my first car and the car i learned stick in , it will always hold a special place in my heart
The EG still my favourite all thanks to our boy Robbie Ferreira
I have 2009 SI as well and it’s so much fun. And honestly it’s not that bad to work on if your competent enough and have the right tools.
