2018 Civic Si coupe
Country flag
I’m horrible at guessing ages. I work in the medical field and know how different age looks on different people based on their life style. That being said, I’ve been mostly men(40s maybe) driving gen x si’s in my area. I live in a college town, so there are Si’s galore of different models. Driven by college age male and female. 2 CTRs that I’ve seen(one is the Honda dealership manager). No one EVER waves back at me. I get more attention from camaro/mustang/challenger people.

I am in the minority in this area. Early 30’s, female, mom of 2 - but driving a coupe. AND it’s my first manual.

Hey all,

My dad is 58 and we just picked up his 2019 Civic SI Sedan this evening. Haven't seen him smile like this in a long long time, he's super stoked and loves the ride. His previous ride was 2004 Civic SI, so he's no stranger to the car.

I see all types, young, old, male, female. Oddest I've seen was a tatt'd up cholo lookin guy. He actually waved, none of the others even gave a second glance. I'm not fast, but I auto-x mine and am getting better since I added an Eibach rear bar.

Saw an Asian woman who looked to be in her 50's driving a MSM Si Sedan the other day. My wife gets honked at and a thumbs up all the time LOL.

Was on the job. Saw an si pull up and parked in a stall. And a mom with her kid gets out of the car. I'm shook. Mad respect for the mom.

Ladies love the Si. Recently saw a black "lowered" coupe making mincemeat of highway traffic. I got next to it to see who was driving and burst out laughing.

It wasn't lowered - it was a gang of older ladies (50s or 60s). Four of them packed into the coupe!

Saw a 40’s woman driving a black Si coupe the other week, seems like the 10th gen Si draws a very diverse group. Not sure if it’s just because the previous gens are more affordable at this point (typically draws younger males) or because they updated the looks. I’ve never seen the same type of people driving the 9th gen Si
