2024 Honda Civic Si Consumer Reviews

First Civic I haven’t really cared for.

So let’s get down to the brass tax on this. The car looks great drives really smooth and has plenty of power. We already knew that though. What you might not know, is this thing is loaded with all kinds of driving features that assume you have no idea how to drive. So if you find yourself ever on a highway a main road, or a side road expect crazy things to happen while you drive. The adaptive cruise control will slam on the brakes out of nowhere regardless if there are cars around or not. I think it’s just scared of it shadow. The lane assist shuts off after 15 seconds of no engagement if you’re going over 50 miles an hour or playing songs with volume higher than level six, you will not hear the alarm go off and it will give you no visual warnings that it’s disengaged. I’ve almost gotten an accident three times due to this. The traffic collision system will really make your heart race! Assuming you’re on a highway and someone is trying to pass you and comes really close to your vehicle while doing so, it might just slam on the brakes regardless of how close the guy is behind you, what a treat! Good news is, you can turn most of this off within the internal menu, which can only be accessed with the car turned off in accessory mode. The traffic collision avoidance system, which will try and crash you several times a month can only be turned off in this accessory mode and it has to be done every single time you start the car. Assuming you wanna have warranty oil changes, you must wait until the maintenance minder let you know that a minimum of 7500 miles to 10,000 miles in order to get that covered by your warranty. If you’re smart like me, and change your oil sooner than that, look forward to paying it out-of-pocket In summary: if you’re into having a car that likes to surprise you with its awesome unrefined features, this is definitely the car for you. If you’re looking for an stress-free ride without having to worry about your car, trying to kill you, I would highly highly highly recommend something different. I’ll go back to pre 2017 cars after I sell this.
