    I have two pointers for ya, I drive a 2017 si. First is to slow down how quick you shift your gear lever, trust me there’s no need to bang it into gear. Yes when down shifting it needs to be a little faster but trust me slamming it will wear down the synchros. It should just glide into gear, it shouldn’t feel like you are fighting it. Second is to avoid resting your hand on the gear lever, I know it’s really tempting but that puts unnecessary strain on the shifter. Other than that I think you are spot on with everything!

      I appreciate the comment and the pointers! I didn’t even notice how hard I’m shifting 🤣

      @ Of course! I know the car is probably your baby lol so I am just looking out for ya. My synchros feel horrible from years of slamming the shifter haha

    As someone who's been learning to drive manual, these are great tips man. The POV insights are definitely relatable in everyday driving. You really have to be proactive when driving a manual to be able improve your gas mileage and anticipate unpredictable drivers. This level of engagement and control is what I've really enjoyed about driving manual so far. Just food for thought, maybe make a script for these types of videos to get your point across more effectively because you seem to repeat yourself. Besides that, keep it up!

    Thanks for the video. This is a car I plan to buy in a few years after I graduate college and save some money. I like watching pov drives of these cars so I can get an idea about the car before I eventually get one. I've been driving a manual since i was 16, I learned on a 1992 Honda Accord my parents bought and fell in love with driving manual. After that, I bought another 92 accord for myself, sold that for a 2003 civic si, and just recently sold it for a 1999 CRV with a manual. Something about Honda manual transmissions... They are so smooth, so evident which gear you're in. Whenever I drive another make I notice how sloppy the shifters can be.
    Anyway, nice video. Pretty bold to post a video of you driving manual and giving advice. Seems to always bring the fuds out who will ciritque your hand placement on the shifter and tell you you're not a real manual driver if your car has syncros or some stupid bs like that lol

      Honda do get their manual right, the shift feel in mine currently is so crisp you’re not gonna regret your purchase decision.
      It does bring out the hot heads but does bring out people like you as well!

    Do you have any acceleration video from 0 to 100kph? How fast is it? Is it under 7 secs?

    • @TD_SI21
      @TD_SI21  20 дней назад

      It’s a little bit over 7 sec. You’d be surprised to know the 2025 Civic Sport Touring Hybrid will have better numbers than this 🤣. But how it handles and the driving experience makes up for all of it! Best practical sports car of the year for the money.

    What does “slip into _____” mean? I don’t understand what physical action the driver is supposed to take?

    • @TD_SI21
      @TD_SI21  25 дней назад

      Just basically releasing/partially engaging the clutch into your desired gear!

    The rev hang dosent bother you when shifting?

    • @TD_SI21
      @TD_SI21  Месяц назад

      It sure does… didn’t bother me at first but a couple months in it starts to get really noticeable. Especially 1st to 2nd and even worse when it’s cold. Still a very good shifting experience other than that!

      It’s 2022 for sure! Canadians get a few things Americans don’t in the 2022-2024 si

    Nobody overstates driving a manual transmission like Gen-Z... Everybody and their mama used to drive manual.

      Got a couple things to say. Thanks for your comment!
      1) Nobody hates as much as the boomers do..
      2) I’m sorry if I hurt your feelings…
      3) Did we not want to save the manual? Why you hating on someone with the pure intention to teach and spread positivity?

      It’s almost like it’s a dying art old man… would you rather people not talk about driving manuals and have them be forgotten? Typical boomer mentality, always so combative…

      Now your mama has no knees to be operating a clutch and has a cvt boat. Who cares

      Who cares? I know how to drive and I still keep the auto rev match on because it’s just easier.

    You cruise too high in the rpms, sitting at 3k on speed limit. Can still go to 5th at that point and sit around 2-2.5k rpms. Otherwise great video.

    • @TD_SI21
      @TD_SI21  Месяц назад

      Thanks for the comment! You’re right on that. I definitely think differently when I have the camera on my head 🥲

      There are certain cars thats short on gearing by design. My 2015 Civic Si is at 3400 RPM cruising at 78 MPH in 6th gear

    • @rpbdrives
      @rpbdrives Месяц назад

      @@AnythingGoesJoJo I get that but what I'm saying is it's more efficient to be in 5th gear if you doing 75-80kmph in the 11th gen si if just cruising.
