love to see kindness what a nice lady to check on you 😅
When did that happen
that was really sweet of her
@@Khalilpato 5:00
@@DMN3901 Thank you Sir
Yes, very sweet! Good to see parts of the USA are still like that. If that was here in Florida, she would be there to distract you while someone is sneaking up from behind.
I clicked without checking the profile name and thought tedward sounded different in this one lol
Southern hospitality, love it!!
Save the manuals!
Driving schools should offer manual transmission options which cost half of the automatic option
Just another 30-40 HP and maybe a DSG like option (like out of the last gen ILX) and that would put this Civic over the top. Doesn't need a ton more power, just enough to balance out the package and keep it ahead of everyday commuters and hybrids.
And build it on the hatchback platform
@sbs-0055 I wonder if they aren't offering this on the hatch platform so they will get more civic hybrid sales?
@@glorentzenfeel like Honda would be more worried about cannibalizing type R sales
They dont want to effect type r sales I guess
@@gamez1237 that makes sense too
The thing I don’t hear much from any TH-camr is that they removed the idiot light and put in a proper thermostat gauge.
Based fellow Apple Maps user, we love to see it.
10:12 Could that SL get a bit closer to the back of that F150, really an unnecessarily large gap there
😭
Aegean Blue Metallic is also gone for 2025. That and Rallye Red are my fav's. The orange was cool too but that was axed for the 24's.
They should bring Boost Blue on to the Civic Si.
It blew me away that Aegean Blue and the Orange got axed. Orange was cool. Aegean Blue is popular color for the Civic sedan/Si sedan.
Si is always a fun car I owned one back in the day. Fun when you are in your 20,30's now older this would not be my choice for daily driving. I passed on the 11th Gen when car shopping a year ago. I put it on my short list because of Tedwards Si. The manual was an absolute joy to use in test drive BUT sure while driving on a country road but I knew I was moving to Vegas and this would be a chore in crazy traffic.
Plus the small trunks in a car now after having a hatch or small SUV is no longer appealing. My options at Costco are limted with a small car.
So what did I choose? A Hybrid Niro😂 serves me well and love my 50 mpg
(former Honda enthusiast have owned 5 including Si, one Accord, 3 civics including a mileage champ the 89 sedan made it to 385,000miles)
WOW the Acura Intergra... but it is a Civic Si because it has a turbo and jacked up price. Did Private Equity get to Honda as well.
I visited my friend in Encinitas this past week who just picked up a brand new SI (in grey). Fantastic car. He let me drive it from Encinitas to downtown SD. 201hp is perfect for the SI. Plenty of passing power. The gearbox is wonderful. It is alot of fun for not alot of cash. It is also very comfortable.
It's not a 90s Civic, but Honda definitely found its way back to making an affordable car genuinely desirable again.
Sad that the hybrid is quicker :( could have given it 20-30 more hp. For quickest or 1/4 mile runs the new golf gti comes with 265 hp and will take the civic to gapeebees lol
I adore my 2019 Civic Si. I've been pondering test driving a 2025, but I'm afraid my '19 would know and reject me afterwards. 🤣
If they werent so underpowered.
This generation of civic is second to none. It dominates it's class. In fact it's the baby brother that got better than it's sibling. It can and does compete with the likes of Camry. Especially now having a hybrid power plant. .Unfortunately it can also compete in price as well. With a option for almost everyone. I don't see anyone being disappointed with any 11 gen Civic.
facelift looks wack !
Honda is going to have to step their game up for the next gen (12th gen) Civic Si. They have rested on their laurels and stayed stagnant at the 200hp range since 2006 when the 8th gen Civic Si came out and only went to 205hp when the 10th gen came out only to downgrade -5hp for the 11th gen.
Yes, the Si was never about big horsepower, but if the FK8 and FL5 Type R's never came to the our shores, then at least the Si should have been our high-performance top dog with 300hp or at least make a sedan version of the Type R that would've been for North America.
There's only ever been two sedan Type R's from Honda (in Japan) that have ever existed: The Japanese-spec DB8 Honda Integra Type R sedan and the FD2 Honda Civic Type R sedan (based on the 8th gen Civic Si platform).
Going into the 12th gen Civic platform very soon in the next couple of years, the 12th gen Civic Si needs about 235-240hp. The AP1 and AP2 S2000s pushed more hp than the Civic Si's ever had. 220-225lb-ft of tq would be more than generous, hence making the Civic Si the most powerful Civic ahead of the Civic Hybrid and behind the FL5 Civic Type R.
The L15B7 (1.5T) has served its time and it's time to retire it. A 1.8T engine would be more suitable for the next gen Civic Si, or at least upgrade the liter displacement by .3L making the L15 become an L18A, L18B, or L18C codenamed engine as the 1.8T and give the next gen Civic Si the performance Si fans, Si owners, and potential new Si buyers are desperately wanting the next gen Civic Si to be.
I agree with this. I got the 2023 Civic si, its a fun car, I love it but they shouldve atleast gave it more power. Hopefully the 12th gens have more power and I hope they remove the auto start/stop feature and replace the electric e brake with a manual handbrake
Nice reveiw did the retuning of suspension have contribute to stiffer ride ?😊
1.5 ok bye
Luv the shift lights
Good to see a lack of automatic wipers and hope that starts a trend. That is such a pointless feature unless you want your wiper blades to wear out 3x faster.
Lost my tolerance for revving the heck out of small engines just to feel energetic, not even fast. I'm too old for babying the sweet-spot on the rev-range. Honda needs to put a de-tuned version of the 2.0 in this. Heck, I'd rather have a non-turbo 2.5 liter with no lag.
Couldn’t agree more. This is the reason why I chose a GTI over this. Plenty of hp and torque from stock. A simple OTS tune adds 80+ hp and 100+ torque, turning it into a little rocket. Yeah, it’s a VW, not a Honda bla bla bla… but I don’t really care.
AGREED!!!!….the 2.0T from the accord would’ve been a win in this…that 1.5 motor is horrible IMO…and the integra also…make the 2.0 252hp from the accord the standard engine. Then the 300 plus hp engine for the CTR and the type S integra that they currently have
@@Derek-pq3zb1.5 is not for speed but fuel efficiency, it's not that hard to grasp.
@@Derek-pq3zb85k miles on my 1.5 and pushing strong, and average almost 50 mph, and I love it, you people won't get out of the old days and just move on, you judge a car and not give it a chance. 1.5 engine is not made for racing down the road but as I said before, fuel economy.
It's a pretty torquey motor so this isn't really accurate
Needs a little power bump. Then it’s worth it
Nah it's perfect, you don't need that much HP for an a to b car.😂
@@AdonaiNate dude. It’s been this low number for like a decade while only getting heavier. It’s just slow, it can be at least 230hp without compromising anything
@@SM-1010engine power isn’t something Honda was aiming for this thing it’s meant for a to b and the occasional canyon run.
235-240hp and 220-225lb-ft of tq would be fantastic. Upgrading the 1.5T to a 1.8T would help with that.
@@antoinelee-thomas9536 the industry standard is like 2.0 or 2.0 turbos
This was literally shot in my neighborhood, you just drove my morning commute.
You have to ask yourself if for 4 grand more shouldnt you chose the Elantra N? It is much better in every way: No rev hang, much quicker, sounds better, longer warranty, free scheduled maintenance...and you can get a DCT or a manual.
Yes..a Japanese car😊😊❤
This and the jetta are the only manuals left . . . . What's going on dude?
I had a 9th gen si 120K miles.. never changed stock clutch until I traded it in.. the reliability is great on these if u don’t bang the gears all the time.. I drive a tuned wrx tr now because I needed all wheel for winter.. would have gotten the type r if it was awd
Looks great, especially the inside, sporty.
Too bad the only Honda Civics that are available in standard transmission are SI and Type R for 2025.
thanks for all of the footage on this new civic, I want one so bad and love these opinions of those like you who actually drive them how i would haha. I want one so bad and I cant wait until November! (my civic sport lease is up)
HYBRID >>>>> SI for daily driving imo.
I’m actually driving the Hybrid back at home right now and absolutely love it. The 11th gen lineup overall is fantastic.
@@andrefrbk you can’t get the hybrid with a manual. That sucks.
@@Localtraveler2376 I used to wish for a automatic SI. Now i can get one. The Hybrid lol.
@@andrefrbk if you are physically able you should leave how to drive a manual. So much more fun. If you have to drive in bumper to bumper traffic everyday you should move lol.
@@Localtraveler2376 he should move or leave 10 minutes earlier :| and bro wants a automatic civic si lmao
I like it! The interior is very nice and modern and the colors are great.
It also needs a blue color!
This needs 20 more horsepower.
Can the Integra heated steering wheel be added?
@TopherDrives - Question for you… now that you have commuted the Civic Si and the ND3 and you had to pick one. Which one would you pick and the main reason why?
4:30 you said it was number 35 off the line? How do you know that. I bought a 2025 si 2 days ago and I’d like to know what number I have off the line 😂
It's usually the last 3-6 numbers of vin. It's like Area produced - car type - production number?
Did you pay msrp?
@@Flyboynett 33,000 out the door
Re: the seats. I currently drive a 10th gen Si. Little bit different bolstering but similar. Prior to that I had a Focus ST with the leather Recaros. The Recaros looked so cool and were so aggressive, but could get a little bit uncomfortable anything longer than an hour in the car. But I got my Si and drove it 4400KM across Canada. Was a beast on mileage, (averaged over 50 mpg) and the seats were perfect for multiple 12 hour driving days. Love my Si
It needs more hp. Honda keeping it at 200 is a joke.
It's a civic. 200 hp is a lot for a non-hybrid in this segment. If you want more power get the type R.
@@ChrisM-dx8up civic si has been at 200 hp since 2006. They have made the car heavier. All its competitors have over 200 hp. They actually dropped it 5hp since the last gen. They could put it at 230 or 240 and not take sales from the type r which is a completely different car. 200 is not enough for the current market. They say they won’t add a little more sound deadening to save weight but can’t add a little horsepower. And you say “just buy the type r” which is 20,000 more. You can still be a fanboy and not agree with everything Honda does.
Power is fine but needs a bespoke motor like the old SI’s. And a 8000rpm redline
@@TT92348 you’re getting the same horsepower you got 20 years ago with a heavier car.
@@Localtraveler2376 Sure but the civic is also probably going to last much longer than any of its competitors. If you care enough for closer to 230 or 240, you should personally go get it tuned (which would probably still be cheaper than a Jetta GLI or Mazda3 turbo) but I think most people looking to get the si are probably happy with power figures alongside its reliability.
Pattiboi never should have sold his Fg2 Coupe. Installed Hondata Flashpro and got scared of it running lean.
Yet never took the time or $ to get it proper dyno tuned..
Audible shift sound is so annoying!
Never sell my '06 Si Coupe
Literally a FWD S2000
Fuk diver aids
'piped in noise' 😂
I feel like Honda is lagging behind with the SI. The type r is as good as ever but you can tell that Honda has made the SI take a back seat. No power boost? No heated steering wheel? No automatic option? No fix for the rev hang? Just overall the SI needs a revamp soon considering the Elantra N Line and Jetta GLI are still in the market, although the competition has been dropping out recently. The Forte GT is on its way out and that was what I would say the best competitor for the SI considering it had cooled seats, a DCT, ONE more horsepower (crazy, I know) and no rev hang in the manual. If kia ever decides to make a K4 GT, and even if they don't, Honda NEEDS to make updates to the SI. It's starting to feel dated.
This or Acura ilx
If I didn't love my 22 mazda3 with a manual so much, this would be my second choice
Drove this si on Saturday red and I must say move it coming from Toyota owner for many years Honda doing the damn thing right here . Maybe my next car 😊
37 here, find myself wanting one to remind myself of the highschool years...
This will probably be the last Si of this generation. They gave us the Canadian version of this car in the states now
Right. They just gave us the stuff that Canada already had when we should've gotten it together.
They gave us in the US a stripped out version for the first 3 model years and then give us the extra goodies for the mid-cycle refresh which I am totally fine with. However, Honda needs to stop negating the US market in the beginning when the new gen car comes out.
I hope Honda does better for the next gen (12th gen) Civic Si and truly gives it S2000 horsepower between 235-240hp and 220-225lb-ft of tq so it can be the true second most powerful Civic ahead of the Civic Hybrid and behind the Civic Type R. The Civic Si should always be the second of the top-of-the-line trim.
curious if the new 25 si cluster will work with a 23 si. I need my coolant temp gage..
what's pretty strange I'm noticing is I don't see the shift gear number on the digital gauge cluster which not sure why that's isn't present there
where'd you get that Apple Watch band?
Tedward mentioned
Sir 500 unread messages?!
can we get a passenger princess pov
Love your videos❤👍
Will the 2 to 1 auto rev matching come to 2025 integras as well?
I'm sure it will, if not, then the 2026 model year. It's only the 2nd model year for the Integra or going on the 3rd model year for the Integra, but the Integra Type S is in its second model year.
Curious. You mentioned you wouldn't want to spend more than ~ 2 hrs in the seats, but didn't you do an 8 hr road trip in a '22 and say they were great and you didn't have any fatigue?
That may have been TheTopher. I’ve never road tripped a Civic
Aha! Thank you.
No more si blue. That is kinda bad, actually.
A lot of people have said that. The Aegean Blue and the Blazing Orange Pearl.
I hope they bring Boost Blue to the Civic Si for the final model year.
Is it true that the dealers mark these up to offensive levels?
Early on they did. They were marking these up to $35,000-$36,000 during the pandemic and it was only a $27,300 car at the time when this gen Civic Si came out.
How does this compare for to a base model Fiesta ST?
Both are kinda slow 7 second cars 0-60, both handle well.
Im a simple man: topher video pops up, i click
It's slow and why did they put that terrible 1.5 engine that burns oil?
They've rectified the 1.5T oil burning consumption 5 years ago.
@@antoinelee-thomas9536 no the fuck they haven't I am technician for Honda. Where are you getting your information from?
The CRV was part of the vehicle that had that issue in 2019.
I want one of these so bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So why dont you get one?
i just got mine yesterday and its so fun it feels so luxurious and its the exact same as that one you show, first ever manual and im in love and tbh that auto rev match is a life saver being my first ever manual
7 one minute ads on a 30 min. video. You better be making bank on this.
You basically just got the canadian spec SI from the last couple years. Lol
Basically. They could have added more. LOL!
my ten year old has a hard time fitting in the back, great car for two people!!!
@@bigtimesean3912 how big is your 10 year old? I have seen reviewer after reviewer sit in the back seat with plenty of room.
My 15 year old has no trouble. I can fit behind myself fine as well (6’ tall).
@@alexp6409 yeah maybe he’s a very big 10 year old lol. I’m guessing by the age of your kid we are about the same age. Some younger parents flip out if their kids don’t have rear air vent and 30 inches of legroom.
I'm 6'4 and slim and even I can fit in the back of a Civic Si. Today's compact cars are no longer compact. They're like mid-compact. They have compact in the name with near mid-size sedan proportions and capacity.
Is your 11-year-old King Kong? This car comfortably fits people 6+ feet tall in the back
200 hp is pathetic for a "sports" car today
Tell that to Toyota and Subaru with the GR86 and BRZ with 224hp and Honda with the 230-240hp on the AP1 and AP2 S2000s, which is where the next gen Civic Si rightfully belongs.
If Honda reads comments like they say they do, the 12th gen Civic Si really needs 240hp and an engine upgrade if they can't do anymore than what they claim they can't do out of the factory.
If you can't get 230-240hp out of their 1.5T, then add .3L of displacement and make the engine a 1.8T and that will solve the performance issue that people are asking and begging this car to be.
@@antoinelee-thomas9536 based on the size of the car the Civic SI is underpowered.
It's still a nice car, the 07-?? was a weird shape, but last of the good drivetrain, the new one is sharp, but not particularly fun to drive. 200hp is fine at 2800lbs but at 3800lbs it's a little slow.. Think the hybrid is a better choice.. sadly even with a cvt the hybrid is quicker than this thing. Convinced Honda has lost touch with the market.
Interestingly the hybrid actually didn’t have a CVT nor a proper transmission at all
Wait where did you get the 3800 lbs from? This car is around ~2950.
@@rustbeltrobclassic2512 yeah they’ve been at 200 since 2006. It’s a joke.
I think my 2024 Si is more fun to drive than my ‘09 Si was.
@@alexp6409 they have the same hp though and the 2024 is heavier. Wish they had boosted the hp a little more.
No hydraulic hood struts, cloth seats, no rear wheel drive. no thanks
When has a Civic Si ever been RWD? It's not an S2000.
23:46 Rick Ross - Push It lol
Push it to the limit.
