The 1999 Civic SI in Electron Blue Pearl with grey interior was my first car I was able to purchase on my own. I also had the optional factory rear spoiler as well.
All the punks in my high school had these in the early 2000s. I can't begin to explain how entertaining it was to SMOKE 'EM in my mother's Grand Prix GT.
When every channels new video is about the new M cars luxury crossovers supercars and whatnot, cars like civics that starting to become classics is just that much more fun to watch.
In about 2019 or so, I acquired a 1995 Honda Civic Si Hatchback for $4k, with 170k miles. It was a completely unmodified, one owner, clean title and no accidents. It still had the factory hubcaps and tape-deck. The interior is complete and like-new, no missing screws or broken/worn bits. I'm happy to say it's remained in this stock condition since purchase and I simply can not get rid of it. The greenhouse visibility, factory engine/exhaust sounds as intended by Honda engineers and the "slow car fast" aspects are just a few extremely special items that can never be replicated. Sure it begs you to modify it, but the OEM feel is so special too. I don't need to shave laptops on my way to work, nor sacrifice every aspect of ride quality for a stiffer chassis. It's perfectly wonderful as is and I just know this 1999 Honda Civic Si is just as good if not better. Enjoy and hold onto it forever, or join the millions that regret selling theirs.
We need more videos on older cars, the modern was are cool and all but seeing the older cars is just nostalgic. Also you should try and make a video on 1999 VolksWagen EuroVan Camper. I have one of these, and they are awesome. Love you and your stuff bro, keep up the amazing work.
Thank you for this. I need more inspirational videos like this to move on with my 00 EM1 EBP restoration. She's rough around the edges, but she runs, and drives. Restoring her back to stock and enjoying the drive. Keep'em EM1 videos coming.
Pretty sure those high compression engines did require 91+ octane fuel. And you borrowed a car from the Honda museum and stuck a fridge inside of it?!?! Wow... ballsy.
The all in one everyday car. I love those. When you drive below 3k rpm, 30mpg. When you drive over 5.5k you get the sport cars feel. Insurance was cheap and aftermarket parts was easy to find. One of the best car.
The visibility is soooo much better then newer cars it's insane like I can judge where the front or sides of the car are way easier than these newer cars I drive
i drive an e46 325ci and yeah i would agree, 20 year old cars are still really nice daily drivers. modern conveniences like carplay are fun, but aren't really necessary and can be made up for by bluetooth and phone magnet. i don't find things like cameras and sensors necessary since i can just look. thinner panels are probably concerning for safety, but i do like the extra interior room in a thinner package. it's all worth it for the way it drives and handles and communicates. nice and raw.
I miss my 1994 civic ex. Sold it at 249k miles 12 years ago and it was still driving with no problems other than the oil. Still to this day better than any car I've had since. Wish I could find one in good condition like this still!!
I just purchased a 99 Civic EX coupe with a B18B1 motor (LS integra) and will look forward to restoring the paint, adding on other tasteful mods/upgrades, and enjoy the ride! I had a 98 integra almost 10 years ago, so getting back into the 90's hondas helps me relive my amazing memories in my teenage years & in my 20's!
with watching this vid, I feel like honda always has improved each year with their models, they know it works and does not break and that is the nice thing about it
it’s not even just the “sporty” models that are fun, i’d say it’s every honda sedan from that era. They all have a unique feeling to them where you feel in touch with everything around you.
I own a 1998 BMW 328i , i love driving the heck of it. A/C really cranks 1 minute after startup. Last weekend i tested a Aston DBX and convertible both $300k plus and at least 550Hp. The next day i drove my 98 BMW and aside from the new car smell and 300 hp difference the ride over poor asphalt and normal roads wasnt much different .. honestly more comfy bec my 98 has 60 series tires on 15 inch rims versus the Aston 22 inch rims . Dont get me wrong if i hit the Powerball im getting a DBX or Urus
Ah yes, cars from a simpler era with more purity and fun :') Don't get me wrong, new cars have their thing, but there are some things that just CANNOT be replicated like the energy of that engine! Also the little bit of Barracuda at 23:21 was awesome. Also, also, this car is a 1999 model year, just like I am! This car is 24 (soon to be 25) years old just like me 😂
This was the first car I bought with my own money when I was 18 years old back 2002 and it was my dream car at the time. '99 EBP Civic Si. I had a blast in that thing until a couple years later when sadly, and like many, it was stolen and totally stripped. After that I moved on to an s2k and I've been a Honda guy ever since. Now I'm on my my 3rd s2k and it's my forever car. But the Civic Si will always be special for me and sadly there are very few still on the road, so I never see them in the wild anymore. Great nostalgia with this video!
I still remember when my buddy got a black Civic very similar to this one (not Si) and i thought it was so awesome and wanted one so bad! Took me about 15 years until i got my first Civic but man i loved that car as well. Fun video taking many of us down memory lane. :)
I really love the "what it's like to live with a [Classic Youngtimer/Oldtimer]" so please keep reviewing older cars. Maybe a Ferrari F430 oder a Mustang from the 1960s.
Met an older gentleman by me who has one with full a mugen kit at 12k miles.. praying he sells it to me one day but I’d feel bad driving it at the same time
I wanted one of these so bad! I ended up with a ‘99 DX coupe instead. No power but a lot of good memories from that car. Now I have a ‘24 Si in a very similar shade of blue.
I had an 02 civic for a little bit. I actually really enoyed it despite it having a terrible highway shudder, and a slipping trans. But it was pretty comfy and I loved the 4 cylinder
Hey miles nice show buddy. I’m all the way from South Africa. Man please you should also review the 1999 Toyota rav 4, the 3- door one. Because I currently own it. ❤😂
I have a 99 Si in Flamenco black Pearl with 128500Mi, and she keeps up for the daily driving, although slightly modified, shes still pretty stock and im just working on maintenance items and soon some paint work due to the old single coat clearcoat peeling and being worn out after 25 years. but shes still going good.
Me and my family used to have a grey 2000 Honda Civic sedan and it stayed with us for a super long time even if it was made in 2000 and I remember my dad getting it somewhere in the 2010s but unfortunately it broke down in 2020 when my dad was coming home from work cause he had no choice but to go to work, and it broke down on the way back, then a few weeks later we sold it and got a 2007 brown Civic.
No way he parked it in between those 2 cars and left it to get a coffee. What disrespect to the museum bro. Also the way he opened the door fully just hoping it would be a perfect fit and pushing his double baby stroller in between the 2 cars parked there.
@@alexp6409 160 hp in a 2400 lb car Would feel pretty good and they just feel way more connected than cars today. We have a 22 SI and it’s quick sure but blah in personality.
Sometimes I think people value the experience of going fast more so than the actual speed. Driving an older manual car with a louder exhaust can be more exhilarating than going at higher speeds in a quiet, smoother car.
I drive the EX manual. People behind me get upset because the car is under powered compared with newer cars. I could shift at 4k RPM, but it’s probably a little harsher on the car.
I bought this exact car brand new in 99…. Should never have sold it 😢. A popular mod for a lower seating position was to swap in a set of Del Sol seats 👍🏼
I had a new 00 Si. Some downsides: road noise, slow steering ratio, no torque, hot seats (they don't breathe since it is rubber with synthetic mouse fur on top), unsupportive seats. A/c vents only hit you from the nipples and up making the hot seats even hotter. Lack of solid feel. No ABS available on the Si version(sounds crazy but true!) Positives: good looks inside and out, fun motor when in vtec, good trans, absolutely HUGE side windows and great greenhouse view. The 91-94 Nissan SE-R was a superior vehicle in every way except looks and high rpm operation.
Wait...the Honda Museum LENT you their cherry EM1? Just let you hold onto it. For an entire week. Like it was a Chevy Cavalier. I'm sorry for the attitude but you have no idea how badly I have been wanting to drive that car. Last time I heard about it, they were letting ordinary Joes drive it for a day to experience 'driving a stick shift'. I couldn't believe I was reading that. I am supremely jealous and I am glad you enjoyed it. I just want 10 minutes with the dang thing, Honda are you listening.....
Looking back now, I used to drool all over these Hondas from the 90s but honestly the domestic sports cars are so much better and better made than these Hondas. Wonder the Mustangs, Camaros and muscle cars, etc are going up in value.
This guy is so friendly and makes me feel safe and happy
I'd be friendly too if I had cool cars to review every week
Lol
Your weird for this comment how could u feel unsafe watching a car review video

@@PenniD.Hunchoyou’re weird for saying it’s weird
Dream car. Insane there are still some out there in this kind of shape, even if they are in museums.
But is they selling them the prices are insane . This one should be minimum about 20,000.
There's still tons of these out there. Currently waiting a neighbor out. She has one in midori green she's had since 2001.

92-95 was a much slower sohc vtec maybe 125hp still a great canidate for engine swaps

The way the door shuts at 1:44 is so solid. Hardly see old Hondas do that

I drove my 6gen Civic for 15 years until mid 2017. Even though it was just 7 years ago this video already gives me nostalgia feelings.

Are you sure about the octane level....I thought most performance VTEC engines use premium due to compression.
vintage cars are the best🙌
People always complained back in the day on the seats Honda chose for the Si. It's not just you!
I’ve seen this one driven on TheTopher already!
i recently got a 2013 civic si manual its modern and I love it minus its a coupe but its a fun car for me.

Sorry but I love my 300HP turbo inline 4 ATS and twin turbo v6 ATS-V.
Watching this makes me miss my 1999 Civic GX. It was a special model that ran on Natural fuel. It would cost me $6 for 200 miles in 2021
Sometimes I think people value the experience of going fast more so than the actual speed. Driving an older manual car with a louder exhaust can be more exhilarating than going at higher speeds in a quiet, smoother car.
