This will soon be my third Civic Si. The 8th-gen with its naturally aspirated 8000-rpm screamer of an engine will always be my favorite. That said nothing beats the latest model in terms of value, fuel economy, and build quality. Also glad they got rid of that silly HDMI-port-looking exhaust.

Nice,in depth review. I wanted one of these. I shopped around for a few months looking at black & sonic grey cars. It wasn’t the car itself that turned me off, but the experience at the dealers. -dealers wouldn’t allow me to test drive the car, only sit. They wanted me to sign before I could get the keys. -of the three cars I looked at, they all had “market adjustment” prices. Lowest of that being $3,000, highest $5,000. -salesmen were indifferent. If I wouldn’t buy the car, someone else would. In July I stepped into a VW dealership and purchased a 2023 Golf GTI 40th anniversary edition. MSRP with a friendly & easy to work with dealer. It’s unfortunate. My close friend growing up was a big Honda guy & I was looking to make the switch. But for the same price as the VW & seeing as I needed a car right then and there, I couldn’t do it. Will always like them, though.

Out of curiosity, did Honda at least fix the rev hang issue on the newer Si's? I had a 2020 Si Coupe for about 2 and a half years and the rev hang in it was horrible. It ruined the car for me. I traded it in for a 2023 WRX a couple weeks ago and I couldn't be any happier as there's no rev hang in the WRX. Will not be buying another Si unless Honda fixes that issue.

@@DMCarReviews I have 10th gen civic si and love my car. Of course to get to 60 mph gotta shift three times 1,2,3rd gear at 52mph to get to 60. If this was dual clutch automatic and rear wheel drive or awd this would be a 5 second flat 0-60. As you said in one of comments the Si feels fun and quick once you are rolling and moving at higher speeds. This is a great fun car, reliable, 33 mpg combined fuel economy and holds resale value. I can recommend it highly. Of course if one wants mad speed get a corvette or a bike. That is not the point of the Si.

You aren't getting a second faster on a non si civic💀 It's called a real world test. If this was a prepped surface and I subtracted the 0.3s 1ft rollout, I'd be in the mid 6s. The Civic 1.5t CVT did similar times as here in my testing
