2022-2024 Civic Si - My Problem With It And Why I Did Not Buy One

I got my Si at MSRP, I asked and paid for extra warranties so out the door was $34k, I don’t regret it at all, the car handles AMAZING, congrats on your new car!

Got my 22’ Si at $32 OTD, I get 35-40mpg with FBO and a tune at 270whp. I may not be the fastest but it’s so much fun to drive. Don’t regret a single dollar spent.

I got my si at msrp but it’s because the dealer told me that I had to buy a $4000 maintenance package after I signed the paperwork when they previously agreed on MSRP they had already ran. My credit came back to me and was like since we’re doing you a favor in finance can you buy this $4000 maintenance package and I was like no I’ll spend less money doing my own oil changes. Thank you and the salesman walked away, saying that they’re just gonna pass up on the deal then and then I went and talk to the general manager saying what happened now my credit is already been affected from the inquiry. He told me give him five minutes he’ll be right back he came back told me they’re getting everything ready for me and throwing in all weather floor mats and wheel locks at no cost to me after tax title, license and destination I walked out paying $33,700

"Anything over $1000 MSRP ( markup wise), you're getting screwed". Preach brother 👏👏. Consumers need to be aware of this stealership tactic. It doesn't matter how bad you want the car. No one should pay for any random markup on a new vehicle.

An Si is so not worth the markup. I have a 23’ Si.

Time to make direct to consumer car sales a reality. Congrats on the new car!

Totally understandable as to why you switched to the 2.0L NA hatchback. As far as engines go and direct injection, it’ll still take time to see the difference in reliability between NA and DI engines. But going NA while still saving almost $10K is a good move. I hope it serves you well!

Fortunately I'm a short king so don't have the headroom problem lol but $7500 markup on a "cheap" car is insanity. I still think the 11th gen Si is a really good car, we're just going to have to wait it out though.

Port injection was the main reason I got my 2015 Civic Si Coupe back in September 2019. I could have bought a new 10 gen Si...but the turbo and direct injection was the deal breaker for me 😅

I shopped a '22 Si last Fall. The dealer I visited really didn't want to work with me, crazy markups here in southern California for the Si at the time. After my Honda dealer visit, I used TrueCar to get prices for a '23 Acura Integra A-Spec Tech Package with stick ... got my Integra at MSRP, basically the same amount the Honda dealer was trying to get out of me. I'm very happy with the Integra thus far. I switched over from a '16 Honda Accord Sport CVT, wanting to get into a stick again. All of my prior daily drivers had been stick to this point ('85 Accord, '92 Accord, '00 New Beetle, '04 Mazda6 V6). I wanted to get an Accord Sport stick, but no inventory, and we were in hurry to add a car. '22 Si looked perfect, but the inventory and pricing craziness made me go up brand. My wife is happier with the look of the Integra (less boy racer), and I love the additional tech features that I originally didn't think I would like. RE: headroom, I'm 6'1" and prefer not having a sunroof too. I fit fine in my Integra. A lot depends on if your height is more in the legs vs. upper body. RE: the engine, my son has an '18 Civic EX-T with a variant of the 1.5L turbo. It still goes fine, no issues. It's unfortunate that sticks are so hard to get in the lower trims. Sticks were called "standards" back in the day, right? I probably would have been happy with a Civic Sport hatch with stick like your model. I tried finding a Civic Sport Touring hatch with stick, but those are impossible to find too. So, I went with the path of least resistance ... more money than I wanted to spend, but all good at the end of the day. Integra is definitely a fun "little" car. I was hoping it would be smaller, it's not much smaller than my '16 Accord.

Totally agree with you been searching for months for one at msrp its literally impossible and to travel to a dealer just to get there and for them to say it "just got sold but we have this one its just 5k over msrp" isnt worth it such a shame because honda actually made a really good looking car for a decent MSRP price tag such bs

In my area the selection of any type of civics was limited, I went with the Si because it was close to the same price as the touring with leather trim added to the seats. I wanted black and since I needed a car now and couldn't wait I went with the Si for 3k over msrp. I don't regret it one bit.

Thankyou for this review I live in SoCal and commuting is a way of life and I did to want to pay an arm and a leg for monthly payment for a new car and this fits the bill perfectly.!

Got my si at msrp canada 🇨🇦 spec. Great car, handles really good, best interior, can't go anywhere without someone asking me about it.

You’re spot on dude. Was looking at a new Si and they wanted 2500 over MSRP. Nope, not a chance. Went with something else. So stupid

I paid 33k for my si this time last year. Only one in town still and i added blacked out emblems and the HPD package(trim add). No regrets. I love driving that car. It just feels soooo good.

I have been a Honda fan for many years! It’s pretty crazy what they are being marked up to!! I bought my first Si in 2009! It was a four door! A few years later I traded it and bought a 2012 Si then traded it in 2014 when they did the mid model upgrade! I then bought the 1.5 t 2017 Si and it was awesome!! In 2019 I traded my Si and got a 2019 FK8 Type R! I owned that until this past January and I was fortunate enough to by a black crystal Pearl FL5 Type R!! I have had a long history with my Honda dealership and was fortunate to pay msrp for my FL5! I love it! I have had such good experiences over time with Honda! Awesome video good sir!! I like your Honda too it looks great!! I like the hatchback!! I was able to fit all of my all season wheels and tires in the back and got them swapped! It is such a practical car considering the great performance! I look forward to seeing more of your videos! Have a great remainder of your week! 🚙👍🏼😃

Got the Si at MSRP. Didn't have to travel far, but did have to wait about 10 months for my allocation to come up. Great car, but agree, wouldn't pay a market premium.

First off I agree never overpay for a car, however that isn't a problem with the car, it's a problem with the dealers in YOUR area and or Honda not making enough to meet demand or regulating dealers to not over charge. Second you're abnormally taller than average nothing to fault the car. Less than 3% of people in the US are 6-3"

After watching your video I test drove the manual Civic Sport Hatch and was shocked when the dealer wanted 3k over msrp. Got a manual Mazda 3 Hatch for under msrp instead.
