Iām still exploring the limits of my ā20 Si, but I am very impressed.
It definitely handles better than ā00 EM1 B16A2 Civic Si. The older Si would push its front end when driven towards the limit, but the newer one seems to have more and more to give before losing composure.
I recently got off...
The LEDs are really impressive in beam pattern and intensity, but I do wish they were adaptive. That would be sweet on mountain roads at night.
I also disabled all the driver aids except collision avoidance. Itās completely unobtrusive until traffic on the freeway comes to a sudden unexpected...
Regardless of whether or not the āengineā noise is pumped through the speakers, virtually EVERY single car on the market has its induction noise āengineeredā or tuned to sound a certain way from inside the cabin.
BMW, VW, Lexus, Ford, Acura and other mfg use electronic sound enhancements. The...
2018 is a horrible year for the Si... Oil dilution, faulty clutch, defective second gear that grinds, but most importantly than all of that...
Three words...
no volume knob
jk. I made up all that stuff. Except the volume knob. Thatās true.
But in the end...

2020 Si Sedan, observed this morning...
6th gear:
2500rpm = 63mph
3000rpm = 74mph
3250rpm = 80mph
Thatās perfectly fine for highway cruising under most circumstances. The motor does have a hint drone at 3k rpm even with sport mode off, but thatās a byproduct of the tuned induction noise...
Pretty much the same thoughts I had about a new 20 vs slightly used 19...
The gearing is pretty negligible, because I ride a street bike with a 1st gear that redlines at 55+ mph and 2nd gear that goes to 75+ mph. I know itās apples to oranges, but itās my perspective. Debating gearing on a...
First brand new car I bought was a 6th gen 2000 Civic Si in Electron Blue Pearl... You know the one that recently sold at auction for $52k! The car magazines and reviewers LOVED that car. 1.6 liter VTEC with a 8200rpm redline that produced 160 HP (100 HP per liter). There was so much hype with...
I know you said OC, but what city was this in?
Americaās Tire is my go to tire shop, and Iām also in OC. I want to avoid that location.
Could be an inside mole to a car theft ring.
I used to own a brand new 2000 Si, and that thing was a theft magnet. Parked it out of sight in an apartment...
