How Rare is the SI?

[arnbrian]

Greetings all,

I have a friend who wants to get a new SI (as a lease) and he is having trouble finding one. Whether the year is 2019 or 2020, there seems to be no SI's currently for lease. His lease is up in a month and has been wanting the SI ever since he drove mine. His other option would be the base model GTI. The dealership I got my SI from had 2 last month but sold within 2 weeks. My question is how rare is the SI? As in do you see a lot of them where your at? Do you see them for sale? It seems like where I am at (Michigan) I never see fellow SI drivers...

Here in the Philadelphia area, I see them all the time. Nothing rare about them.

pretty rare here in san francisco. Type Rs on the other hand are everywhere, sport hatches also

They are definitely more rare than the less sporty Civics, that's for sure. I only see one or two a week here in Maryland compared to hundreds of Civic LX's.

I see some sedans. I see less coupes. They're not rare.. But there's not a ton on the road either.

If your friend is willing to drive a little you could search down in Ohio for one. I spot a few driving around each month

It is “uncommon” and only because it is exclusively manual

Honda has reported that Si's make up around 3-4% of total Civic sales. There was a small supply interruption as the Alliston plant had to undergo mild retooling for the 2020 Si.

I'd expect supply to catch up within a few months.

Toronto is a hot spot for 10th Gens so for every 150-200 Civics, one is an Si, and same for a CTR

In my area I see mostly sedans rarely any coupes
See more of the sport models both coupe and sedans

Went to the dealer for my "Free" oil change last week and the "Vehicle Exchange Specialist" contacted me to talk about the possibility of me leasing a different vehicle a few months early of my lease ending.
I told her I was interested in possibly finding a "2020 Si sedan in Red". She laughed and said "how about a Type R instead, we have more of those" - which is true but still over invoice and more than I want to spend. So they had NO Si's in stock but they did have a Black sedan coming in in a couple weeks - but I'm not ever buying a Black car again, so I said no thanks. Apparently dealer trades are near impossible because as soon as the get an Si they sell quickly. I asked if I could just order one from Honda in the color I wanted and she said each state has a certain allotment of Si's as Honda is not making a lot of them - so basically no...I find that hard to believe, but I am still very disappointed. I may just end up keeping my EX-L...I have until October to decide.

I've seen quite a few in the sf bay area. In the city I can imagine less people would want a manual because of the hills. These cars aren't rare at all. I've seen 20s at a few dealers in the area too.

It might be more rare in Michigan where there are stronger ties to American car companies.

There's a couple here in San Jose/Santa Clara area. Older Si's are way more common than newer ones, especially at car meets. I usually see one 10th gen Si every 3-4 days.

Around my area they are relatively uncommon. Since I bought mine in November I've been intentionally on the look out for them and have only seen like 3 or 4 different ones in my area. I just checked Car Gurus for new 2019 and 2020 Si's within 500 miles from me and there is currently 304 listed. It says your from Michigan, where exactly I don't know, so I just used Lansing as a reference point and search within 500 miles of there on Car Gurus which resulted in 196 listings.
