With the demise of the S2000, NSX, and Prelude, the 2013 Civic Si stands as one of the last fun to drive vehicles in Honda's current line-up. While its turbocharged competition may sound better on paper, drops of that old "Honda magic" can still be found throughout this vehicle earning it a top spot in its segment. If you are in the market for a well rounded sport compact to serve as your daily driver, this vehicle should be at the top of your list.

"If you cant drive a manual and don't even think of going to honda to ask if they can put an automatic in there because honda will probably never will" Best line of the whole review SAVE the Manuals
I liked that line too.
yes! #savethemanual
its even worse now than what we thought. Coupes are gone smh
Ok, the real quote made sense, but you botched it bad lol
in a few years the civic will be the size of an accord. Honda please keep this car small and bring back the hatchback.
Agreed on both
...and it IS the size of an Accord now. :P :) Good prediction stuntdoogie. :)
stuntdoogie You realize you predicted the future right
stuntdoogie Hah. Hindsight is 20/20
4 years later and you predicted the future.
This 2.4L engine sounds better than the new 1.5L turbo.
What sounds better?? The exhaust doesn't sound better. The engine note stock for stock sound the same. With intakes, they are subjective.
yes i totally agree. the k series has unmatched intake sound compared to the L series. the L series exhaust can be a bit better at some points though
Exactly the new 1.5 has fake induction piped into the interior
Both cars fbo tune and guess whats faster? the 1.5l turbo
@@JonahLongworth There's only fake engine noise from the Civic SI with the 1.5t.
You guys make the most entertaining videos. I watched the whole thing, full screen, no other distractions and paid complete attention. There are very few other TH-cam channels I can say the same thing about. Well done.
they need to bring back the prelude as rwd with a nice look that stands out.
i just bought this a couple weeks ago and i'm 100% pleased with my decision. I drove the brand new st's and gti's as well and i think the si is faster acceleration wise but def not top speed. i just wish they did a little better job with the exterior but all in all its a fun drive
can you hear the exhaust while driving?
I'm debating on getting one of thse for my first car ... is it worth it .. are they really good sports cars
Thank you! We are extremely thrilled that you enjoyed it and how it has helped you with your decision. Have you figured out whether you wanted the coupe or sedan yet?
This guy is really good at his job! His reviews are thorough.
I don't see any other manufacturers making over 200 horsepower with a naturally aspirated 2.4 liter engine. Honda has been doing this since the 90's. Give credit where credit is due. Guarantee that if you remove the turbos from all of the competition those cars wouldn't come anywhere near 200 horses.
The MS3 probably does
The Ricer Mechanics speed 3 are turbo charged stock
I agree I mean 201 HP from 2.4L is just impressive. Honda has done that for years. I mean even the 2.0L K20 motor from the S2000 for example, that made 240 HP from only 2.0L which is 120 HP/L. I don’t see anyone else doing that, and the engines are all N/A which is an even greater feat.
I have a 2012 Si and I absolutely love it. I checked out the GTI, Speed3 and WRX and only the Si fit the budget and feel perfectly. There is definite sporty high end rev with this model that some of the others don't have. In my opinion only the WRX made me waver in my purchase choice, but I like the svelte subdued effect of the Si that the WRX most definitely doesn't have. Great video review by the way.
We appreciate the support :) our editor in chief chooses to leave out the WRX or Evo because it is AWD. Even though, price wise it does compete some buyers do not want or need AWD which is why he sticks to FWD models. We should be reviewing Subaru and Mazda soon!
Loved how you did this one versus the others. Camera positioning and everything.
For a show called "2theRedline", you sure don't redline that Civic enough haha.
I think that the main thing that most people that review this car never talk about is that its a good aftermarket car i dont know about others but if a got a new civic it would be mainly a aftermarket car its very easy to add a turbo to them and get very good results.
Mostly it is just the NAV system with voice recognition but it also rolls in XM radio as well.
GREAT review! one of the only good, in-depth reviews about the new si on youtube, all the others are dealers trying to sell the car. Im considering trading for an si and this video has helped a ton with my decision making process. i recently drove the new si and its a totally kick ass car! totally responsive, sleek and the new features are awesome for the price! Keep up the good reviews, guys.
Just sweet! Glad I got one (2013 Si Sedan) in blue. Planning in changing the exhaust configuration and the intake to add up about 20-30 more HP to it. Pretty darn good Si that can compete and beat any 4-cans out there...
...well done, Honda!
5:40 - fuck that, never drove a manual, still bought an Si
Good, u still like it?
Nice haha! I'm thinking about doing the same. What year do you have?
Exactly! This guy is just a hater.
same, i wanted a manual
About to be me this weekend
We were comparing this 2013 Si to the 2013 Civic EX we also reviewed back in Dec. The 12 Si and 13 Si are the same in that regard.
Unfortunately, the weather in our area hasn't been cooperating, it's been either cold, windy, or rainy for over a week. Don't worry, it's supposed to warm up next week and we will be back to filming :)
As much as I have always been a bmw fan my whole life I really enjoyed this review! Sure the si isn't the fastest car out there, but there's something about the si that one is drawn to. It clearly shows honda's racing roots and a honda engine is built to last and the sound of v-tec is music to my ears. A great daily driver car.
See videos of the 2014 Civic Si on my channel!
Damn.
You guys do great reviews.
Not only you do a real in car test drive without cutouts, but you also give great feedback and information on the car at the same time :D
I don't regret subscribing to you guys.
An excellent, comprehensive and unbiased review. I wish there were more like it.
Well done.
Its nice to have an option to get an NA car in the market of turbo chargers, for me as a medical student - reliability is the most important factory and with an Si this is the best choice, not to mention the awesome resale value.
If you are a professional student or keep cars for more than the warranty period, get the Si - it will save you the headache of turbo charged cars and you will get most of your money back when you are ready to upgrade.
From personal experience; I have a friend with a 2009 GTi DSG - he currently has 94k miles on it and he already had to replace the turbo on it, the Dual clutch gearbox requires expensive fluid flushes (At least in the VW) every 30k miles (around $500 at the dealership),
With the civic si, all you need are oil changes & a transmission fluid flush every 50k miles (which is dirt cheap compared to the GTi)
If you get a sedan Si you will also have the dirt cheap insurance for it aswell..
Are the insurance rates cheap for this car?
insurance really depends on so many factors like age, location, driving record, credit score etc etc.
but overall a sedan civic Si is very cheap to insure, for example mine is about $120 a month for full coverage and a low deductible.
How did the sound system sound with it all the way up lol?
Jonathan and yWashington
i like my sound system in the 2012, has a small subwoofer in the back sounds nice
Hey man I want to thank you for this reply considerably! It's only Sunday and I guarantee that was the best laugh I will have all week.
The rear view camera will show up in the 5 inch i-MID display when you get a model without NAVI. Choosing between these two model will be tough. Both have strengths and weaknesses based on what is important to you. Both are priced roughly the same with the Accord Sport being a bit more. Tech features are pretty close, since all the really good tech is saved for the EX and above Accords. The Civic will be more fun to drive and quicker, plus easier to park but the Accord will be more comfortable.
KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE ROAD!
Oh, and I like the car.
Redline Reviews. Your title for this video is misleading to viewers. It should say "2013 Honda Civic Si Coupe" not 2013 Honda Civic Si.
They're the same car, essentially.They just have different body styles
+Okie Rider You have WAY too much free time on your hands, don't you?
How firm is the suspension compared to an fr-s? I'd like something sporty that won't destroy my back over bumps like the fr-s does.
my parents just bought me this car for my 16th birthday and im absolutely in love with it we have some rims on it and some new racing tires which makes it grip super well 6 speed manual Transmisson all just perfect
that's the 2012? right?
Tf is wrong with you
+Awesome Randomness Google it
+Awesome Randomness wait nvm I was talking about the 4 door not the coupe
+Richard Medina oh ok
7:18
Fail.
I loved the start of the video great editing skills!!!!!!!
Great job on the reviews you guys have been doing!! I'm now on the market for a new car and I've been looking at the Accord '13 or '14 with manual transmission. If you can, would you do a review on the Accord Ex '14 with manual, please? Thanks!!
i wish this si was awd.
DudeLore it would be so fucking amazing .
Again its not a TSX engine its a totally different engine WTF people.. Not the same engine the TSX uses K24Z3 while the Si uses K24Z7 engine get your facts straight.
Different heads same engine.... The block is the same a k24 is a k24.
hnnotyy lol they share the same block. Only the heads are different. So he's partially right. Also the tuning is much different.
Very nice job reviewing the Si! You touched on alot of important details people are looking for when weighing their options. *thumbsup*
That's really up to you, our editor-in-chief cannot drive without the satellite radio but if you don't need it than skip the navigation package entirely. Honda does offer the Sat radio as a dealer accessory but at $400 dollars, it's a pricey option again.
2014 Si even better..
It came out yet? I can't wait lol I asked the dealer the other day n he told me he didn't know when the car will be available.....
DX LIU No end of April
Lusus420 Just a few tweeks is all.
i have a 14 si i love it.
Michael Benson I just got one last week. Traded a VW turbo Beetle which had several reliability issues and it was barely a year old . Chose Honda for reliability. I do miss the turbo though.
8th gen sounds and looks better
this video was great!!!! i loveeeeee the intro!! amazing job guys
We may also add an ILX 6MT to the list depending on the deal an Acura dealer will do
Interior sounds incredibly loud.
its not at all. very quite and smoothe ride.
the b biddim I have one, lots of car noise and doesn't handle well 75+. I'll typically cruise the freeway at 80 so I notice it quite a bit. Not a bad daily driver but can't wait to get rid of it. Im glad it holds its value.
the b biddim It's not supposed to be a soft, billowy Buick for Grandma, dude lol
Very impressed with the quality of the reviews on this channel, subscribed! Nice Civic too.
Your channel and review keep getting better and better!
Awsome review as always you the man lol dude you the best reviewer alive like no youtube channel does it better I enjoy watching all your videos I stay up all night just watching your car reviews keep them coming great job man seriously..
Brilliant review Sofyan. Hope to see more reviews like this.
I just bought the exact model you tested same color and all, it's a great little tuner and I am very happy with the purchase Super Torquie and a lot of fun to drive.
You're channel got a lot better congrats!!!!!!!!!!!
Supposedly, the 13 model has thicker sway bars but we didn't really notice. Only thing we did notice was the reduced road noise.
Although the Si may not be turbocharged, acceleration wise it can keep up surprisingly well with the GTI and price wise it falls right in line with the turbo competition. The Forte and tC are less expensive and cannot keep up power wise.
That window separation on the side doors near the mirrors looks like the ol 80s conversion vans the little windows that pop out lol
Great review, made my day when you said that the door panel stitching is the way to distinguish between the coupe and sedan....I thought for sure it would have been the 2 extra doors hahaha
My boy has one and I’m wondering if I should save up for the sedan model especially for my first car.
Sweet review, sweet ride! Love the civics and especially love the new Si model BTW... Anyone know what song is playing in the background?
I love your reviews! Keep up the good work!
I like how you did this review camera wise. You should do it for all or them.. It may take more work, but it's worth it and doesn't bore the viewer
It may be under-powered in terms of the numbers, but the lighter weight of the Si allows it to keep pace and be even quicker than some competitors. 0-60 in 6.1 secs according to most test, place it just behind a Speed3 and ST which do the same sprint in 5.8-5.9 secs.
Amazing review man well done I have a 2012 and I love it good review man
Let's talk about multi-tasking. It's really hard to have fun accelerating when you have to look at us, look at the car in front of you, and look for cops at the same time. BTW, you, Matt and Doug are my favorite reviewers right now. They should put you in a show.
If you want to see a hard acceleration clip, check out our video on our long-term ILX 6MT. It is the same power train as this Si after all :)
this is a noob question, please bare with me. I thought the 2013 model had chrome in it's front end and the rear tail lights are different. Does the 2013 coupe looks like this? I dont know much so that's why im asking.
Now in 2022 I got one of these as my first cad and it is still one of the best things ever. It is fun and zippy just driving to school!
Would u recommend I get it? The one I'm looking at is a 2013 with 100k miles on it for $18,000
@@ya_boi_zak5927 I would totally recommend trying to get one. That seems a bit high for that many miles but I think most cars are going way high right now. If you can see if you could get one cheaper from a high volume dealership. They might mark one down because it’s a manual it idk if that trick works now🤷♂️
@@ya_boi_zak5927 as long as that one seems well taken care of then I would totally recommend getting it!!!
@@Cms-rl3wo yea that's what I thought too. It's from a dealership. I know hondas last long so I wouldn't mind paying that much. I could probably find one from a private seller for cheaper. Either way I'm getting one!
Will you being getting the new Civic Type R to test?
Whats civic si redline I have redline decals on the side of my car an the interior has red carbon stickers on the dash
That's what we were thinking. While the 4 cyl LX-S Accord coupe does come very close to the price of a base Si, the Accord simply has a different mission. You need to decide which is more important for you: a comfortable, sporty looking daily driver, or a quick and high strung corner carver with a louder exhaust note. The Accord is def the more mature car but it won't be as fun as the Si to drive. It's really up to you, take both for a drive and then you should be able to make a decision.
Thank you! Very nice upgrade for you as well :)
How's the driving position and headroom for someone around 6ft? I hear a complaint about that and wonder if it's been fixed or if it's just the coupe and not the sedan.
Much higher quality!!! Awesome intro....BTW put your name in title I only watch your reviews
You're comparing the price of this Si which has the optional $1500 Navigation package with a base MS3. You need to add the Tech package to the Mazda and that pushes the price up by $2500 to $27,500.
You make an excellent point, however, keep in mind American cars are built to a much higher standard today vs.10 years ago when the Neon SRT-4 was out. Reliability is still unknown for the Focus ST but it's initial build quality is much improved vs its predecessor, the SVT Focus.
did you notice any rev hang issue? where the revs sometimes take a couple of seconds to return to idle?
Im debating between this civic si or the 2014 scion tc can someone tell me which is a more fun, better, cheapest in parts and overall the best for taking it to a strip or track for alil more fun
I noticed that Civics (maybe all hondas) steering is very sensitive. I drove my cousins 2007 civic coupe and the steering was super sensitive, every movement I made...the car did the same. I am coming from a 2001 BMW 325Ci, looking into an Si...any other suggestions to compare with this car? and mine?
Thanks!
is the key still the same as the 8th gen and the 2012 model?
The current Si weighs about 2900 lbs, or roughly the same as the 2011 model.
I want to know what do u think about getting a Si without the Navi system, cause i´m from mexico and the Si with that system will not arrive here, and i´m choosing between the Civic EXL or the Si, at this moment i have a Lancer GTS 09, but i´m getting a new car, so what do u think about those ? :)
So, for a daily driver in an urban area, which would you recomend. 2013 GTI or 2013 Si Sedan? I keep going back and forth on this .
Is the body roll more controlled than the 2012 si?
I'm from the old school, the technique for engaging the clutch on steep hills is to use the e-brake, is tricky but it works, i never even knew there was a a" hill holding clutch".
How's the oversteer under acceleration which I'd common with front wheel drive with limited slip?
Best review yet guys the i-vtec shift lights come from the old civic type r fd2
was the steering hydrolic or electronic? and my fav si is the 99-00 em1 also the ep3 (euro type r) but id prefer the em1 because its cheaper and harder to find (clean title) is the new civic equally as fin to drive or better? because they bombed it on the 2012 si coupe.
how does this car drive with ac on? I have a 05 rsx type s and its a pain in the ass to shift when my ac is on.
YouLazyButt seems like a lot 4 cylinder manuals are like that, my Miata and golf is like that. revs drop too quick, the AC is sapping too much Power
Do you think its a good car for someone who is learning how to drive a manual ive never drove one
Do you have any problems shifting into 3rd gear occasionally?
And what about rev hang? They didn't fix that I'm assuming either. You'd still haveta get the hondata ecu?
Great review! Is there any chance you can do a review on the Mazda 6?
Was this area on Waples Mill road or Hunter Mill?
Doesn't this model year come with a back up camera? The si sedan I sat in had one...
Congratulations! your video quality has been improved really good. (sorry if my grammar is bad but this isn´t my hahaha).
Any idea how the 2014 will be, is it worth the waiting or shall I just go ahead and get the 2013 instead.
The motor in this Si is the same from the 2005 TSX, last time i checked the CR-z came out in what 2011?
whats the name of the song at the beginning of the vid?
Very nice detailed review ! good job !
Whatever happen to the red honda badge?
what is the song in the beginning of the review?
You just listed most of the reasons why the Si is still a great choice in the segment. Sure, performance wise, the Si cannot compete with the Focus ST and Speed3 but that doesn't mean the Si isn't fun to drive in its own way. Most buyers find the handling to be sharp, combine it with the high revving engine and quick shifting 6 speed; you have a vehicle that will still put a smile on your face. Match it with Honda dependability and value and you have the reason why the Si sells pretty well.
