This week on TestDrive James gets behind the wheel of the 2024 Honda Civic Si, a little while after spending some time with the top-end consumer-oriented Touring trim. The Civic Si has been the go-to car for enthusiasts looking for a fun, affordable manual sedan without worrying about too much bloat. For us in Canada we get a few extra features over the US-market, including the fully digital gauge cluster, shift lights, and heated seats.
James hits the road with this 2024 Honda Civic Si in black to discuss his thoughts on this car as an amateur manual enthusiast, and why this car is the top choice for those who want to drive stick but haven't owned one before.

I just picked up my 24 Si.... First manual car and im absolutely LOVING it🔥🔥

[@GraphUprisingg]

Plan to get mine soon to learn manual on as well how much did you pay if you don’t mind me asking 🔥

[@Petro_Gooners]

@@GraphUprisingg you will love it!!! Don't listen to the negatives and enjoy it for what it is!!! I paid just under 43k CAD... There was a few add-ons from the dealer but I really wanted it and with the hybrids coming out I wasn't sure if they were going to be around for much longer. I came from a 2023 civic Sport! Good luck on your journey man, enjoy your ride when you get it👊👊

[@PRNTestDrive]

Congrats on the purchase, hope you enjoy it!

@@Petro_Gooners appreciate you king !!

I’m getting one this winter, was also thinking of waiting to see what the 2025 si will bring

[@strkngfang]

Ive had my 2024 Si for 5 weeks & loving it. Ive driven manuals on & off for 30 years & this car is very easy to drive & I like the rev match as well.
This car also has more HP than 200 & more torque than advertised. Ive driven several 10th gens & the 11th definitely is not down power. Some dynos have it between 216-220 & I would say more 210-215, just my thoughts.

[@PRNTestDrive]

Thanks for sharing, enjoy your new Si!

Great video. It was a battle for me between the Forte GT and Civic SI. I test drove both multiple times. I ended up with The GT w/ 6 speed manual. Its crazy how similar these cars are. Anyways beautiful car and great choice.

[@PRNTestDrive]

Great choice, enjoy it!

[@johnleyvlog8820]

I hope it will be available in the Philippines. I love manual transmission 😊

[@PRNTestDrive]

Hopefully for you they'll bring them there!

[@Sparityy]

Is this the Canada spec?

[@PRNTestDrive]

Yes it is.

[@paulm6481]

I rather get the new hybrid Civic instead of that problematic 1.5 turbo with oil and water dilution and mixture.

[@PRNTestDrive]

We’re going to try and get the civic hybrid later this summer.
