Inject some fun into their small car that makes it enjoyable on a winding road. Start with a competent chassis, great steering, add a manual transmission, and give it more power-but not too much power. Today let's find out if it’s still one of the best performance bargains on the market!

Is the Honda Civic Si the perfect blend of performance and practicality? Also, a couple corrections: I said the wheels were special for the Si but they can also be found on the Civic Sport. I referred to ride quality and made it sound like there is a difference between driving modes but I was mainly trying to make a point that the ride is great all around. To be clear, no adaptive dampers on this new Si so no change in ride quality between modes.
And please for your own safety, do not drink a shot every time I say the word "really". I will really try not to say really as much in my next vid. Really.
Sport as gloss blk and Si has matte blk rims lol and whats annoying is their charging like $100 more for an Si tire and matte is the only diff
I could see myself happily owning one of these years down the road once depreciation takes hold...One big advantage this Honda has over its competition (esp the VW GTI) is I suspect it'll have WAY better reliability!
And the interior has way better ergonomics than the new GTI
Another plus about Honda’s and especially Civic Si’s is that the depreciation is very minimal. Even before this insane current car market.
Hahaha ok
I purchase my new 22SI back in December. This car is not about 0 to 60. It's about a driving experience. With a unmatched manual transmission from Honda. Highly recommended.
Awesome vehicle Ethan and thanks for sharing it 😎👍
Another great video.
Thank you!!
I agree with you on the looks of this one compared to the last one. Much better!
I dig this color! Orange is the best color :) Nice review.
Great review
Glad you enjoyed it! And thanks for watching!! :) :)
I wish they wouldn’t keep making small models larger and larger. I am glad they paid attention to everyone who hated how the zigzaggy back end on the last version.
Of course I think 4th and 5th gen Civics were the best looking, especially CRX.
They may not be perfect but they are good enough for me thanks for sharing good video Ethan 👍👍👍👍👍
It certainly is rare to have a car that nice under $30k...so rare, in fact, that a Cleveland area dealer has one exactly like the one you drove with an additional $6k "market adjustment" and no test drives. That's right. NO. TEST. DRIVES. You'd think they were trying to sell an Aston Martin DB11
Ugh!!!
Illinois dealerships are the same…..one was $6k market adjustment…..would rather spend the extra $$$ on an Integra which is not going to happen
My 2021 mazda 3 turbo hatch is under $30k and has way more to offer then a SI.
The North Olmsted one??
It’s not all dealers asking market value 5 to 15 above msrp
Oh look! It is the new Acura Integra!!! I love the new Intergra! Good thing Acura brought the Integra back.
Great review. I like it and would definitely consider getting one. Or maybe the Integra which isn't much more money.
Isn't it like 7k more?
Great review. Always loved the Si. And this one seems pretty great. Although, as others have pointed out. It seems the removal of some of the options, just to have them in the new Integra seems like a jerk move from Honda.
And did you switch to producing your talking segments to a higher FPS? I notice that more dynamic movement when you're out of the car talking, like 30 to 60 FPS? Or maybe my eyes are playing tricks this early in the morning.
Lastly; my request again for you to add a SAAB to the fleet. Preferably a 9000 or 9-5. Keep up the great work.
That jerk move is the real reason I might spend more and buy the Elantra N, Veloster N, or maybe even the GR86/BRZ.
@@wbwayne8887 I got to see the light blue w/red Elantra N at Cars N Coffee yesterday at TLSS. Great looking car in person. And the performance is nothing to sneeze at.
@@Staatus_Quo
I have yet to see one in person yet, but looking forward to it. That performance blue is an incredible color on all the N models.
Ethan, Are you really being fair to robotic turtles when you compare them to the last generation Civic? What have robotic turtles ever done to you?
"Robotic turtle" 😂perfect descriptor of that [now your] design language
You look good in that Civic Ethan.
😀😀😀
I feel so excited my SGP Si will have close to that great steering feelbtgat my BMW spoilt me with albeit being a FWD
Shame that they don't offer the Canadian version in the US, getting ready to lease one next month
0:57 “it feels really big in there” 🤣About to turn 20 but I still have the maturity of a 15 year old lol
thank you
I'm hoping next year we get the Si with fog lights and an all digital cluster, that's what Canada gets, and for cheaper
Question is........did Honda finally fix the oil and gas dilution problem on these 1.5L Turbo engines?
3:35 Cameramen should always be aware of reflecting surfaces, like ... I dunno, ... mirrors?
Apart from that, great video (as always) about an interesting car.
You could have mentioned, compared to all the other cars you mentioned, the Civic might be the most reliable. Reliability goes a long way.
Couple of interesting comments in the video…..”even in sport mode the ride doesn’t beat you up….” Dampers are fixed - as you noted - so the drive mode has no impact on ride quality.
You’d also mentioned the veloster N and that by comparison the civic had more mass to move around. Interesting comment considering the veloster is 200 lbs heavier than the civic
Yes I misspoke about the ride quality which is mentioned in the pinned comment above :)
And yes the Veloster N is heavier, I guess what I meant to say is because of the Veloster’s smaller dimensions and wheelbase it feels like it has less mass to move around.
@@HelloRoad fair enough. I will say, I wasn’t impressed by the veloster…..the shifter quality is poor and overall it doesn’t feel engaging. Power is not enough for me
I hope this car come to Germany 🇩🇪 please !
From a price point, I was considering only SI or WRX. Is gas economy and some safety features, then SI if raw power and AWD then WRX. But that's proving to be a hard decision.
If you like the full body cladding of the WRX and 4 wd, like i do, its the WRX:) and Toyota now owns a percentage of Subaru incase you did not know.....eventually will buy them out ofcourse.......the honda has price, price , price and its slower too, so they are both very nice options, oh and that HUGE center screen in the WRX:)
@@michaelsmith9308 Thanks Michael. I got the WRX after much deliberation. Markups on SI helped make it. Yes liking the centre screen. Ah Toyota has stakes cool !
Nice reveiw great car with no power unless u upgrade ecu
Glad you enjoyed the review. 200hp was "just enough" for the roads that I had it on. Sure more might be nice, but it was still a ton of fun!
The funny thing is the veloster N weighs 3106lbs and the civic si weighs 2952lbs.
Slow car and I drive a 2020 civic sport 6 speed. Other than that the handling and reliability is great.
Why slow
Nice car. I just wonder what the real price will be for this. Anybody buy one yet? $40-50k?
Great review! I wish VW still offered the 2019 GLI. It was 26k for the S or the 35th annivesary. It was much lighter than the newer ones, came with a 6-year warranty, optional summer tires, was much faster than the SI especially the DSG 5.6 seconds vs 6.8 trap speed of 103 vs 95 and it actually beat the SI around the track!. Now that the GTI/GLI are 32k+ and the SI just lacks way too much power, and features for the price it's asking the best value car would be the N but because the looks are so ugly I am just going to save up for an GOLF R x)
Modern volkswagens are garbage
Yeah, sorry, only if it was a liftback. That's why I went with a GTI. And the mark ups. Honda USA did a very poor job with this. Thanks for the review.
4 doors I remember my grandma had a 4 door car 🚙.
Your cap, where can I get it from?
Looks like the Radwood merch site is down, but when it's back up you should be able to get it here : www.radwood.com/store
@@HelloRoad that’s rad! Thanks!
29k for 7s 0-60 and 23 mpg. Ya know, those are the same numbers your purple probe got back in the day and it was equally fun to drive. 😎
23 when thrashed. Epa rates the 2022 Civic Si at 31mpg combined. With a 450 mile hwy range of 458 miles out of a 12.4 gallon tank. Pretty remarkable if you ask me.
You'll pay $35k if you want one of these 😲 Fail!
I'm getting 32 mpg..
You know they been stop making the Si as a hatchback.
Lol the 11th gen civic hatch has fake exhaust tips, which neither the 10th gen hatch nor si have. Ittis on the 10th gen accord though
Awesome, but expensive. I'm seeing them selling for $33k or MORE!
I won’t even tell you what I paid for mine lol
@@dylanwelty7181 🥲
The car needed leather heated seats and more horsepower reaching at least 230-240HP.
The funniest thing said in this review was that it was under $30,000 😂😂😂 under $30,000 my ass
MSRP is still technically under $30k. Also this video is 2 years old 🤷♂️
@@HelloRoad well even at that point the dealers were thieves
Any updates on your stolen truck??
They found it today! Going to make an update video soon.
@@HelloRoad cool. Great news
Was hoping the thief was having sleepless nights knowing he had almost 30,000 subscribers "looking for him". 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀😠
Did he say that 11th generation is lighter than 10th generation? If so, he was wrong. It's 92 pounds heavier than my 2019 SI Coupe. If I misheard, sorry!
I must've gotten the weight stats from a third party. It looks like we're both wrong, at least according to Honda. I just doublechecked the Honda site-both 10th and 11th gen Si sedans come in at 2906 lbs. And the coupe is 17 lbs lighter than the sedan. I noticed that car magazines show different figures, maybe they have a different methodology for measuring vehicle weight.
@@HelloRoad April 2022 Motor Trend has the curb weight of the 2022 Civic SI as2,981 lb. My 2019 SI Coupe is listed as 2,889 lb. 92 pounds difference. But you're right. Maybe 1 had full tank, the other empty. Who knows?
Those wheels aren’t special for the si, they’re on the sport model also.
Correct, I mentioned that in my pinned comment above :)
Nope, sport has gloss black, SI has flat black.
10th gen Si is way better also it has fog lights, heated seats, full digital center cluster, more HP, a temp gauge, dual zone climate, shift lights, shift sounds, etc
Forgot one of the best features, the adaptive dampers, which was truly unheard of at the 10th gen's price point.
Also was a much better bargain at 2000 dollars less.
@@subvet3668 and also considering I bought my 10th gen before the inflation in 2020 for 23K OTD....I couldn't imagine spending over 37K for a car that has way less features than my Si
@@subvet3668
And forgot the Si's value trump card, easily the least costly car with adaptive dampers. The content was amazing in the 10th gen Si. Now, the Integra comes in and steals it all away. Very disappointing Honda, especially when the Canadian market Si gets most of what was taken away from the US market Si.
10th Gen very Ugly!
So the Toyota GR 86 is 6 seconds 0-60 and the gr corolla is 0-60 in 4.5 this honda is very very slow at 7 seconds omg..............(
Why are you referring to ride quality in different drive modes? Harshness, etc. As you know, the adaptive dampers are gone. It should make no difference on a fixed suspension.
I wasn't comparing ride in the different modes, just making a point that if you want a compliant and comfortable daily driver, this car can do it.

@Hello Road / Ethan Tufts
06:50 and 09:36 is what I was referring too. The review overall was solid though. The Civic Si has through the years been one of my very favorite cars.
Yep, I misspoke
@@HelloRoad
Thank you for owning up to it, you just got a new subscriber as a result.
I think Hyundai Elantra N-line is a little better.
a lot of japanese cars have robotic appeal...maybe because they have a lot of robotic tv shows in japan, similar to transformer of the US
no pwer
An affordable fun car... Check
In a nice colour... Check
A good video... Check
A satisfied comment... Check
:D
$35k.... Check
Not affordable... Fail!
The new Civic is rather an Accord than a Civic.
"Corporate shnaze"?
Do you mean "Schnauze"?
Loanwords can be so funny. 🙂
Nice car by the way! 👍
theres no performance herr its acceleration is horrendus
passing power is non existant
Uh no. It’s fine
ETHAN, Try really hard not to say really over and over !!!!!!!
I’ll really try really hard next time! Last vid I said actually every third word. I’ll learn (maybe)
Elantra N would...bury this weak ass Honda Civic
Yep it's not super quick, but still a lot of fun to drive 🤷♂️
Elantra N Ugly car. I test drive that I am a sti owner prefer the SI for what it is for daily N is a performance car that is competitive with type R that for sure will smoke that N
Car is ugly, overrated, and slow compared to the competition.
-Stop reviewing those modern crappie soulless junk, get to a good stuff, like first Civic or some nice Datsun!.. ;)
Nah this car is fuuuuuuuuun!!!! I will be reviewing some more older cars soon! :)
This is my first car snd its amazing :D
Someone needs to count how many times Ethan says “Really”.
Last video it was "Actually", this time it's "Really." I actually really need to pay attention to it for the next vid 😆
Take a shot everytime you actually hear it. You'll be feeling really good at the end of the video. 😂
