2025 Honda Civic Si: Spanish for "Getting Pricey"

  • Let’s test drive and review the new 2025 Honda Civic Si! Thanks ‪@homefieldapparel‬ for sponsoring this video!
    The Honda Civic Si generally sits in the middle of the Civic lineup. It’s like a sport-lite model that slots in above the base models and normal commuter car, but below the 315-horsepower Type R hot hatch. The Si and Type R look and feel like Civics, but they’re sportier and cooler and only come with manual transmissions. No automatic here!
    The Civic nameplate is in its 11th gen. Just like last year, the stock 2025 Civic Si has 200 horsepower and 192 pound-feet of torque from a turbocharged 1.5-liter, 4-cylinder engine. Each Civic Si builds upon the last one, so this new model isn’t a revolutionary change from 2024.
    The Si has a pretty quiet exhaust and engine sound, but driving the car is a blast (and comfortable enough for a road trip). The current model is also sedan-only - no coupe - and it’s finally crossed the $30,000 base MSRP mark.
    This raises really important buying questions, mainly due to the existence of the $34,000, 276-horsepower Hyundai Elantra N. Which is best to buy? Sure, the Si is cheaper, but the N offers 76 more horsepower for $4,000. The N generally competes with the $46,000 Type R - not the Si - despite being closer in price to the Si. To truly rival the Elantra N, the Civic Si likely needs a power bump or a price drop. A power bump feels more likely.
    So, should you buy a 2025 Honda Civic Si? That’s for you to decide. (If you do, it’s a great choice.) I hope this video shows you everything you need to make that decision, and I appreciate you being here.
    Thanks for watching my RUclips channel. Enjoy the drive (and the video)!

      ​​@@AlanisKingjust one small comment: when you're commenting about how much free there is in the engine bay you should include a b-roll shot of the engine bay itself, not you standing in front of the car pointing inside the bay we can't see. I'll add the timestamp.
      EDIT: at 4:00 it would be great to get a top view close up of the engine bay to show the layout and space as you speak about.

    The footage from the new drone is very nice, and you're doing fantastic with the audio and cinematography. Those of us with headphones and big TVs appreciate that.
    This Civic Si is way too expensive, but so is everything to me because I love cars from 20 years ago. I just wish for the days of a hot hatch 3 door Si. It may be the color, but it looked like the panel gaps were funky.
    I love that paint though. My 2012 Scion TC has a very similar color with a dark cloth interior that gets very dirty extremely easily.

    As far as the comparison between the Si and the N; well…the build quality and shifter/clutch action definitely favor the Si. But, the N really brings a fun package in a different way with all the power and noise. It’s a nice problem to have in deciding between them.

    Another important factor for me with this vs the Elantra N was practicality. Si gas mileage is much better, and it doesn't have that crossbar where the seats go down. I will use that extra space for work, and I drive a lot on the freeway, so this easily put the Si above the Elantra for me (But tbh, I didn't test drive the Elantra because I was worried I'd fall in love with the power)

      It does not! You can watch my last video on the TLX Type S to learn that. Here is a quote directly from Acura, published by The Drive:
      “While there is no set meaning to the ‘R’ or ‘S,’ historically Type R has been reserved for track-ready models and Type S, while tuned on track, are more geared towards spirited, winding road performance. If you wanted to surmise them as ‘Race’ and ‘Sport,’ we wouldn’t correct you.”

      And yea, it really is. I heard it was because Hyundai uses Korean steel for their cars, which prevents outsourcing/importing prices and thus, lower costs. Not sure if it's true.
      But I agree, the civic/integra should come with more power. BARE MINIMUM 228HP AND 258TQ.
      Or atleast extend the arranty to a reasonable custome tune.

    Still the most affordable priced car for the money in the U.S. for its standards.
    However, Honda can no longer stay stagnant and rest on their laurels going into the 12th gen Civic for the 2026 calendar year for the 2027 model year.
    The next gen 12th generation Civic Si is going to have to become a performer and it starts with a better engine. Retire the 1.5T and use the old B Series engine from the DC2 Integra Type R and do a lot of in-house rework and slap a turbocharger on it and there's a new 1.8T. Bring back i-VTEC, and push the performance to at least 230-240hp and 215-225lb-ft of tq. If I'm being honest, I'd like a manual transmission upgrade. If they want to continue being the best selling manual transmission brand in North America or the world, it's time to retire the 6-speed manual transmission and upgrade to a 7-speed manual transmission for the 12th gen Civic Si (and the 7th gen Civic Type R).
    After that, they can do whatever they want when it comes the interior, the wheels, the infotainment system, the fit and finishes, etc...
