Should be faster than it is. Interior rattles for days. If you can touch a surface, it probably has a rattle. Makes the experience cheap feeling. Passenger door rattles bad from bass so the bose system is useless on anything besides low to med volume. Steering wheel sticks and is a major safety issue. I can't fathom how honda didn't test the steering in this car. Car pulls timing bad in summer. You will get one pull in one gear. The next gear you might have to wait 2-3 seconds for boost again. Handling is great and fuel economy is also great. Shifter feels great even though 2nd can be notchy and grind sometimes. Rev hang is still there and still annoying. Should be the most reliable sport compact but has a lot of issues. A decent buy at MSRP but a lot of issues and a cheap sounding interior dampens the experience.

It's a car with good handling

The safety features are pretty useless. I like the forward collision warning. I don't like the forward Collision braking. It's braked the car a few times in the last 10k miles and the only way to stop it is give it gas while it's braking and hope it stops. Great for the engine. Lane departure assist will swerve all over si I turned it off. Auto high beams should be off by default as they stay on far too often blinding others. Adaptive cruise control feels sloppy like a teenager learning how much pressure to use for the brakes. Also even the closest following distance is too far away. People will cut you off. Regular cruise control works okay but again the car will brake for you and it's very jarring. I went from using cruise everyday in my last 2 cars to almost never in this car. Bose system is okay but causes the vehicle to rattle like it's not made for the speakers that are in this car. Big disappointment with removal of dual zone climate control, heated seats and fog lights. Blind spot monitoring is actually nice to have and a feature that works well. Good job Honda. Active lane keep I nice for long trips but it gets confused by cracks in the pavement so be prepared to fight it. Backup camera is off center making reversing straight more of a guessing game than it needs to be. Idle stop/start doesn't make sense on a turbo engine and it will cause unnecessary wear on the turbo. Get used to turning it off every time you get in the car. The shifter is nice and the car gets good fuel economy, however the engine is an economy engine. The engine tuning is the biggest downside of this car. Each shift the car holds revs. This requires either riding the clutch to upshift normally, or waiting an additional second between shifts. The car feels like it has maybe 160hp in arizona summers due to extreme turbo heat soak. Because the engine is so small, expect to be in boost to keep with traffic while accelerating. This car will require a lot of effort to accelerate quick and minivans and cuv's will be pulling on you. This car is way too slow for what it should be. Honda also tuned in turbo lag to help with stress on the connecting rods. This car really needs a tune, not for power, but because every decision for this "sport" injected engine is designed for economy. The engine would probably feel better with an automatic. Between the safety tech and engine this car feels like it wasn't made for a manual transmission no matter how great the shifter feels. I can't imagine the clutch and turbo lasting more than 100k miles due to the small displacement and bad tuning. The NHTSA is looking into a steering issue so hopefully that gets fixed. The interior looks nice but rattles more than a versa rental I had. Not even joking. It's poor. Dash cracks and pops. Headliner rattles, b-pillar rattles, rear deck rattles, doors rattle with music, rattles behind steering wheel, dash rattles 3700-4000 rpm. I brought it in to honda and the guy went on a drive with me and said "it's one of the more quiet civics I've heard." My wife's 9th gen has less interior noises. The 9 inch touchscreen is nice but get that TSB done for the rattling. Exterior styling is good but windshield wipers are genuine a** and waste a ton of fluid to clean anything. They also have a proprietary design. Very thoughtful Honda. Interior styling is good but sounds like a can full of rocks. I don't think I want to keep this car much longer. I really don't like the direction Honda is going. Let's be more German and move upmarket but not think things through and polish anything. Let's just make it look nice. The car gets good economy, has a great shifter and handles very well. That's about all I have to say about it. Buy if you want. This car needs a tune. Not for power. The L15CA isn't a power engine. Just for drivability. Could also use a large intercooler for Summers. If you want a manual car that's a good handler and doesn't break the bank, this is it. If you want anything more than okay acceleration, buy another car. If you have any kind of OCD with interior noises don't buy. Expect to disable most if not all honda sense options. They are just bad and feel like a beta test.

Not for Canadian Winter driving

I wanted to love this car. I had Civics in the past and loved them. However I am disappointed with the direction that Honda has taken. They advertise safety features that are more disruptive and distracting. The fuel efficiency features are mediocre in savings but will cost more in the long run. Firstly I will address the safety package. The lane departure warning does not work well when roads are partly covered in snow. And in Canada that is frequent. When the car is driving along snow covered road, then detects a bare patch of road, it will sound alarms. It is counter intuitive to safe driving in snow. When driving in wet snow the surfaces with cameras can become obscured causing warnings to appear on the dash. Another distraction to the driver that is not necessary. The placement of the rear back up camera also get covered with water and snow quickly because it is in an alcove. I had a Hyundai just before the Civic, and the placement was different and I had less problems. The washer fluid sprayer is on the wiper blades and when there is any little bit of ice or salt it prevents an even spread on the windshield which then also affects one of the forward cameras. An annoyance to me is also that the wiper blades tuck under the hood so when you are trying to brush snow and ice, you cannot lift the blades to do that. The blowers are also under powered. When you are driving in extremes, the car cannot keep up clearing the window even with the blowers on full, which is also extremely loud. I was driving in -18 degrees and had to have the defrost on full just to prevent the windows from fogging up. If I switched to split defrost and floor, to get some heat in the rest of the car, the windows fogged up again. Not very safe. The convenience feature of the in car microphone is also hamper by the defrost blower. I have had people ask me if I have all the windows open when speaking on the handsfree. I notice that the blowers will automatically turn down when engaging the handsfree function. So they are aware of the flaw! The fuel economy saving function of the idle off is annoying and short sighted. Honda is not alone in this function. I have seen it on a Ford as well. The short term gain of a few moments of idle off puts more wear on the started as well as puts more lifecycles through the battery. The Ford that I had seen it on, now automatically restarts because the battery is weak and the car is only 3 years old. Not saying it is 100 percent the fault of the idle off but it doesn’t help. And there is no way to permanently disable the feature unless you go aftermarket. I now have start car and I automatically turn it off. The remote start range is terrible. I would save just over 200 feet. My old Kia was much better than that so that you could start car from inside a restaurant. Can’t do that with the Civic. I have also had to replace two separate parts on the car with less than 5000km. One was a camera and the other a sway bar(those usually fail after rough driving or long term wear, both of which were not the case). I hope this doesn’t foreshadow other issues because Honda is supposed to reliable. Again a feature I loved about my previous ones. The multiple message centres are also distracting. If you change a setting on the blower for example, it will appear on the console behind steering and the radio console as well. The flashing acts to distract and if are trying to see where to look for the message, it means you are not looking at the road. Several safety feature also operate that way, forcing you to look at message centre instead of on the road. I have spent enough of my life driving (30 years), cars and trucks to know that the problems are on the roads and that is where your attention should be. The small convenience feature of automatic high beam should be illegal. When driving on the highway at night, the car will not always detect oncoming cars and vlimd other drivers. I have had that happen to me and people have flashed me until I realized that was happening with own car too. It is a dumb idea. If you need your car to tell you when to turn on high beams, you should not be driving at night. I have a lot of small issues but they build to a lot of frustration. I drive over 200 km each day so the issues are in my face. I will also note, this is why it is isn’t 0 stars, that the fuel efficiency is great. For a commuter car it is needed. I would say that it would be even more efficient if it didn’t have the safety package draining electricity. I do like the eco option for fuel efficiency as most of my commute is highway driving. I also find that there is excellent space in front for two adults. I am tall I am comfortable in my seat. However my passenger behind me isn’t. I accept that space issue as it is a compact car. Just don’t tell me it seats 4 comfortably. Just two will be comfortable. Trunk space is a good size and I can fit most everything I take with me in there. Take off power is good(when the idle off is disengaged). The car also handles fairly well in the snow with its low profile. That was something stellar about my previous Civics In that I never got stuck in snow when I saw people with 4 wheel drive having problems. At this point, I will not be buying another Honda as many of the issues I have(safety features that don’t work properly and distracting features like the console messaging set up) is the same across all Hondas. It seems they have changed their focus from being a simple reliable car to being that tries (and fails) todo a bit of everything. I feel like it is designed by engineers looking to pack as many cool and neat gadgets into the car and straying away from the practical aspects of driving. The features that I like of This Civic are found in other manufacturers and once this lease is up, I will be going elsewhere. Maybe Honda will improve with the 12th generation but I doubt it. Best car in Canada for 2022, not for me based on actual driving.

Accelleration and handling are excellent, great shifter and tech features. Ride more harsh then expected on non perfect road surfaces. Drivers seat somewhat cramped and uncomfortable on long trips.

The Civic Si is a lot of fun to drive in an attractive interior cabin. The car feels like a German car for how solid it is built. It really handles great, the only change is that I am going to get better tires for less road noise. It is very good on gas mileage. Otherwise a great car for the money and the radio is a huge improvement too!

Absolutely love my car. The 6 speed transmission is fun to drive and the Bose sound system is definitely worth upgrading to the SI for.
