March of time... The 1.5L 3V in my old 1985 CRX Si made 91 hp. I could redline it all day long and not feel like I was going to jail. It was monster fun.
Wow, the more I learn about this car the more I like it. I wonder why they underrated it from the factory, that's been one of the biggest complaints I've seen but it sounds like a moot point
Im on civic number 6. My first was a 93 sedan, 88 sedan, a 96 ex coupe that i drove for 9 years, and when i still owned the 96 i bought another 93 for a winter beater. Then came a 2018 civic si coupe in black which was a great car, drove it for a couple years then traded for my 2019 type R, car is awesome, i enjoy it. But not made for new england winters , so this year i parked her and got myself a winter beater.
Yay, another wonderful review, plus a fascinating "Civics" lesson through history. Thank you for taking the time to research this and share it with us.
regardless I never thought much about Hondas until I had my first commuter car in 2010. It was a Honda Civic is sedan and I put 280k miles on it. Raced it all the time on the public roads and it was still running strong when I sold it in 2021.
Damn it I keep saying each review is my favorite then another one comes out. I love how nerdy this review got and appreciate the history! Keep staying fabulous! You're the best
True, it *is* all about...banging gears. I'd jump at a manual electric - it would give me the feeling of DRIVING a car (a fact I love about manuals) instead of feeling like just another passenger (why all automatics must DIE), as well as be more eco-friendly. Yes, a manual electric car for the enthusiast. Sounds like a recipe for a win.
7:45 That was a masterful launch, well done! I've owned a 2009 naturally aspirated Civic Si and I loved that car. The stratospheric revs that car could achieve made it feel special. I've been kind of down on the turbo charged Si because they lack that high revving ability, but this review demonstrates that the new Si hasn't lost its edge.
Just traded my 2012 k24 powered Si for the 22 Si. Dont discount the fun that actually having real torque brings! Plus my Ktuner can bump it to 240hp at 21psi. My k24 dynos around 175hp and 145 ft lbs at the wheels. This car actually makes the 200 and 192 at the wheels and is only 100lbs more.
Very impressive history lesson on Civic. You were on fire with your delivery. You're really getting this channel's feel fine tuned. The "banging gears" comment was a classic Sarah innuendo
I have only owned 6 of the Hondas, starting with the 73 straight off the boat from Japan. Great little cars that could go anywhere in the back woods trails in California. Also handled and maneuvered very well in the California freeway traffic in those days.
Here in Asia I have a 1999 1.5 EFI Type Z hyper 16 manual Honda City, the engine is the same as a V-Tech, I say the car just wont give up still running after all these years.
I always look forward to your vids! 👏🏻 All those Civics bring back memories. Most of my friends had 1 or knew of someone with one. Civic nation indeed. 😉👍🏻
Picked up my Aegean blue 2022 Si December 26th. Approaching 2k miles and am still in love with the car. Fun to drive and sensible at the same time. Great dad car 😂🤘🏼
Awesome! I was waiting for the mechanical review ever since I seen it in the background of one of your videos! I had my 2022 civic Si for 2 months now and I’m loving every second with it! I’m in Canada and quite surprised the differences between the Canadian vs American Si.
I had one. It was okay. The ground clearance is a problem. You have to be very careful pulling into driveways and go real slow over dips. Also no spare tire which is a worry. Just did not feel it’s a practical daily driver car.
Thanks for the Civic history lesson Sarah. I had a 91 dx hatchback (Teal green) 99 Si (Blue) and now a 2014 Si (Blue). With Acura making the new Integra on the Civic platform I think the Civic will survive the Electric power all things movement for atleast 1 more generation. (Crosses Fingers). Thanks for the amazing video.
Small correction: The EP3 Si share the same engine with normal trim of RSX which is K20A3 with 160hp, K20A2 is 02-04 RSX type S’s engine that make 200hp…
Great review as always! And a Honda Civic history lesson. Exhaust flow or rather, flow rate is a highly underrated and misunderstood topic. It is why sometimes going to a huge diameter exhaust actually decreases power. Exhaust gasses from a 4-stroke engine do absolutely not need any backpressure, but they do need a certain flow rate to scavenge and prefill the cylinders. Calculating pipe diameter and length is something I know Honda has been invested in since the 70's in motorcycles, I'm sure they're using that knowledge on cars as well.
You're causing a lot of confusion , I don't know if I m more exited about the SI or the SA , you're great, I just might get one, sold my 2000 bmw m roadster and miss banging gears ⚙️ 😉
And another brilliant review. And thanks so much again for pronouncing Aluminium correctly 👍. As for a manual transmission on an EV. Toyota are working on one. Did you know that? Oh. Please do answer this question as I've missed something along the line. Why do you have a cardboard cutout of James May? I'm flummoxed why you have that.
Every Civic must have better brakes and tires. I like it when you tense up while breaking hard. Great facial expressions! The undercarriage could use some more of the original hairy cardboard covers as you call them from the other lesser Civics trims. Honda and other auto manufacturers believe Aluminum and Plastic are going to save us. We'll have to replace more parts sooner than later. May as well buy another car of the same and garage it for 3 years, resell the 1st after 3 years of use and take its doppelganger out for the next 3 years. Hey! when did you get that new car? Cheaper to sell off the 3-year-old car than to replace all the cheap quality expensive parts. We're the throw-away society/ generation because repairing a car is more expensive than buying a new one. Honda has gone into making Civic Hatchbacks the new version of the Ford Pinto or AMC Pacer.
I had a 1977 and I loved that little car , it took me from coast to coast , Alaska to Mexico It finally died in the Yukon with a deer after 10 years of super hard back road driving / camping.... eh
I really enjoyed the history of the Civic. Love the new SI. Went to several local Honda dealers. They're commanding 8K over MSRP, including the usual worthless dealer added equipment. Don't like the new SI that much! Another great video!!
I think they need to create some new terms for 'dual exhaust'. I don't consider a single pipe from the engine that spits in two only at the end to be a dual exhaust. That's no different than just punching two holes in the muffler like some other cars and calling it dual or quad. It should be distinguished as "true dual" or "quasi dual" or some other term similar to 'quasi dual'. half dual? semi dual? simulated dual?
Great review. Loved the walk down memory lane. Thank you. There are some really cool bespoke EV builders that are taking classics and converting to EV but keeping the transmissions and still building drivers cars. I wish some larger manufacturers would do the same.
I really enjoyed this very informative video. The few sound effects worked well and I like not having the visual effects. BTW, I recall reading back when CVCC came out that it was just marketing-speak and in fact, Honda had achieved the holy grail of stratified charge. Why they didn't brag about it is anyone's guess.
Nice little history lesson on one of the longer lived names in the US. I think Honda will do one more gas-powered generation, though maybe just the Si and Type R; possibly the next regular Civic will be plug-in hybrid and/or EV. As for EVs with stick shifts, I read that Toyota is patenting a manual gearbox for electric cars that could also be left in one gear for more typical EV use. Seeing as how I bought a stick shift Crosstrek, obviously you're preaching to the choir about the benefits of a real gearbox, but really it's not that much of a stretch to imagine there's a market for shift-it-yourself EVs considering it's already the case that if you want maximum efficiency you should go for an automatic. And dual-clutch autos even perform better. But for me, there's just no comparison in driving enjoyment.
Hey Sarah, The SI will always have a special place in my heart hopefully they keep the manual for at least one more generation maybe some sort of hybrid set up who knows. Thanks for the history lesson well done. I really like how these reviews differ from your other ones hard to say how they’re different besides the obvious don’t think I could say I like one better than the other but I think it makes me like each of them more so I put that down as a win🐧🐧🐧👍
Just picked up a Blue 22 Si. Its my 5th civic and replaced my 2012 Si. Love it! I think the 12th gen will be a hybrid gas electric with 6 speed cause i know just gas engine sports cars are leaving. Honda knows what their customers want to see in this car and that 6 speed is here to stay for as long as they can. Will prob add the paddle shift option though.
I had a first generation Civic (automatic transmission). Great little car for round town, and nippy, for its day. The six speed manual gearbox on an electric car should really be connected to the synthetic engine noise generator, though I guess you could make a case for having two real gears.
I know everything is going electric, bit when is Honda going to give us a 400 horsepower 3.0 liter twin turbo V8 made from two Civic Si engines? That would make for an awesome engine in something like a Ridgeline, and with cylinder deactivation it could cruise down the highway as a four cylinder for better fuel economy than the current V6.
I’m reading this in 2044 and I’m so glad that someone said the actual diameter of the exhaust pipes. Now I can finish my car properly so that I can save the world from the recent dinosaur invasion!
I was excited to see this, since I own one. If there are any gripes as an owner I would have.. 1. Apple Car Play is laggy AF with inputs. Solid one to two second delay. Seems like it needs an update on software on Honda side 2. The back up camera is absolutely trash. Especially at night. Of course Honda sand bagged power and torque on this. With the Integra coming out, they have to leave the big numbers for that. Which leads me to ask, have you ever done a review on a DC 2 Integra Type R???
Don't come here in Europe Sarah, in 2022 we're stuck with the hybrid version... on paper It's not bad with 184 HP and low C02 and low fuel consumption. But for passion you gonna have to pass... I wish we had the SI model but you have to think about the planet. At least we are going to get the 11th gen type R model in 2023 🤘
I remember my parents shopping for a commuter in the early eighties... We took a red 2nd gen Civic sedan home overnight for an extended test drive but ended up getting a Rabbit instead. I kinda liked Civic better.
I watch your show regularly , I enjoy your dry humor tossed in every now and then , but thanks for the laugh , hairy cardboard wheel liners , don't know why but that statement gives me the giggles
Thank you Sarah! Great review, especially since I just bought a Civic Si (my second Civic; my first was a new Gen 4). It is every bit as fun to drive as you describe. It is my first manual transmission since 1990. I went there because I've gotten so tired of problematic CVT's, and I'm never going to own another CVT, especially if Honda makes the short throw gearshift as well as they did in this one.
Sarah, we all know why you give so much hate to the hairy wheel well covers. They are going to grab and hold so much dirt and grime. Those are your sworn enemies! Love that this comes only with a manual.
I have 2 em1 civic coupe’s here in the uk 1 is a 96 and the other is a 98 both pass the MOT’s with minimal effort still the straight through exhaust still makes me giggle and sets of car alarms at will and the induction noise is great. Honda did manual transmission with a hybrid already the CR-Z a bigger version of that maybe with a turbo or supercharger the way forward possibly? Still loves the in-depth SI history on the episode. Keep up the great works Sarah. JX
I think we have one or two more generations to go before it goes full EV. by that time, it doesn't matter if it has manual or not. or even a steering wheel. imo.
Yes it's amazing how much horse they can squeeze out of that small motor. Also, it will wear out a heck of a lot faster from those pressures. That's the issue today with fast 4cyl cars.
I'm old so I remember all those generations of Civics. They were everywhere in California, sold like hotcakes because they came in from Japan to our ports. Now I have a 2020 Civic 6 speed and I love it. I think Honda will continue with gas powered Civics in the future but offer an option of a fast electric model... maybe a Civic Type E
Thanks for the background history on the Civic, I remember when the first ones came into the country in 1973, they really were under power compared to our powerful gas guzzler cars however they proved their worth as the gas embargo happened in 1973 as well and still today…😎
March of time... The 1.5L 3V in my old 1985 CRX Si made 91 hp. I could redline it all day long and not feel like I was going to jail. It was monster fun.
I love the history aspect in the review. It makes it even more interesting
Mad props for the history lesson. I've owned 3 of those Hondas.
S2K was next on my list but we'll, we know how that went
Wow, the more I learn about this car the more I like it. I wonder why they underrated it from the factory, that's been one of the biggest complaints I've seen but it sounds like a moot point
IDK, but Hondata and Ktuner already have base line tunes for it to bump up those numbers even further.
Better to under promise then over deliver, than the other way around...
Cafe standards
@@marcschubert139boosting a 1.5 beyond 200 is prob a reliability issue. Prob why the manufacturer doesn’t.
Obviously a huge amount of work went into this -- so informative.

Gees, nice and smooth, smooth as the clutch was, with pure professionalism throughout. Nice, really nice. Over the top even.
I like the 2006 Si Coupe that you got in America. I remember driving one while over on a business trip. We didnt get that shape in the EU.
Appreciate the history on the mighty Civic,
and the details on the underside.
Love the review. Very well put together. Pretty gal.

I am turning 40 in July. My Si arrives next week. Dad wins!
I’m 23 and I’m in love with my Civi. I’ll probably be that dad one day tho 😂 stay safe brother 🙌
I am proud to say that I own a first generation 1987 CIVIC 1.5 si hatchback .
Lol the compliance joked killed me ☠️😂

Glad to see this
Great job, very thorough this time :-)
Sarah does nostalgia and history. I like it.
If the Civic goes hybrid or EV it can no longer be considered an SI, type R, or even a Civic at all! Call it a POS!
My first car was a 1990 civic as well! Awesome Videos!

Damn fine cars they are. Long lasting and easy on the wallet

My first Honda was a 1996 Prelude V-TEC. I swear it was much faster than the current turbo Si.

About the EP3. The K20A3 it came with, and the base RSX, produced 160hp. The K20A2 is the engine that came with the type s and produced 200hp.

Can you review the Mazda CX-5 and cx-50 as they are becoming quite popular now?
My first car was a Civic 1500 GL two-door hatch, in red.
Sarah, I was wondering when you do the brake test, how fast are you going? Love your reviews! 💗
I know everything is going electric, bit when is Honda going to give us a 400 horsepower 3.0 liter twin turbo V8 made from two Civic Si engines? That would make for an awesome engine in something like a Ridgeline, and with cylinder deactivation it could cruise down the highway as a four cylinder for better fuel economy than the current V6.
Great review and your jokes crack me up
Excellent educational video 📹.
Sarah has a car lift.
I’m reading this in 2044 and I’m so glad that someone said the actual diameter of the exhaust pipes. Now I can finish my car properly so that I can save the world from the recent dinosaur invasion!
Where’s the Lexus review Sarah you mentioned that in ur main channel last video
Small tidbit: That's why GM offered Positraction in the 60s and 70s. They thought "LSD" might upset buyers.
Gives a whole new meaning to " road trip ".
Thanks for the video!
Another great review by Sarah, interesting history on the Honda civic.
I was excited to see this, since I own one.
If there are any gripes as an owner I would have..
1. Apple Car Play is laggy AF with inputs. Solid one to two second delay. Seems like it needs an update on software on Honda side
2. The back up camera is absolutely trash. Especially at night.
Of course Honda sand bagged power and torque on this. With the Integra coming out, they have to leave the big numbers for that.
Which leads me to ask, have you ever done a review on a DC 2 Integra Type R???
Don't come here in Europe Sarah, in 2022 we're stuck with the hybrid version... on paper It's not bad with 184 HP and low C02 and low fuel consumption. But for passion you gonna have to pass... I wish we had the SI model but you have to think about the planet. At least we are going to get the 11th gen type R model in 2023 🤘
I remember my parents shopping for a commuter in the early eighties... We took a red 2nd gen Civic sedan home overnight for an extended test drive but ended up getting a Rabbit instead. I kinda liked Civic better.
Great Video
Wow - History Sarah! 😊
That was a very interesting potted history lesson, thanks!
Great review - again! 🙂🙃🙂🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧

Thank you Sarah! Great review, especially since I just bought a Civic Si (my second Civic; my first was a new Gen 4). It is every bit as fun to drive as you describe.

Love that this comes only with a manual.
I have 2 em1 civic coupe’s here in the uk 1 is a 96 and the other is a 98 both pass the MOT’s with minimal effort still the straight through exhaust still makes me giggle and sets of car alarms at will and the induction noise is great.
Honda did manual transmission with a hybrid already the CR-Z a bigger version of that maybe with a turbo or supercharger the way forward possibly?
Still loves the in-depth SI history on the episode.
Keep up the great works Sarah. JX
Big fan of the nerding out info dump. That’s how I want to talk about cars all the time!
We matched on tinder!! Nice review
Great review
Love the Fab joke! I will only be happy when they change the Civic back to a 2 door.
Well done!
And…when they get around to building a serious electric, I’ll bet it’s a world beater.
watched from Bryan,TX
I think we have one or two more generations to go before it goes full EV. by that time, it doesn't matter if it has manual or not. or even a steering wheel. imo.
I had the 95 2 door EX in white….I think I was the only person that had one that wasn’t modified.
6 min in, looking at sport seats and hoping for bolster verdict

came into the country in 1973, they really were under power compared to our powerful gas guzzler cars however they proved their worth as the gas embargo happened in 1973 as well and still today…😎
I wonder what it is about these Civics that causes so much road noise transfer into the cabin
My first car was a 1990 Honda Civic DX hatchback!
