I was surprised at how much torque you get through the entire rpm range. It's to a point where I felt like I had to watch that I didn't over-rev when I was really getting on it. My 10th gen Si doesn't have that kind of pull through the rpms.
I wish the clutch had a little more feel, but you...
Gorgeous shots of your new car. Congrats!! SGP was my first choice in color but I've grown to really like mine in black. I just have to keep on top of keeping it clean so it looks good.
Lack of heated seats and fog lamps felt like a giant step backward to me. The much improved infotainment...
How is it that it doesn't work? What types of files are you trying to use? 've used on with FLAC files on it to test out. It worked fine though it took quite a while to index the files before I could access them. I'm pretty sure my drive is Fat32. I have a 2023 Si but I think any 11th gen...
I drove stick exclusively for 20 years after I got my license in '86. During that time, I owned 3 new cars ('91 civic hatch, '96 accord, '00 4Runner) and put about 120k miles on each. Prior to those was an '83 chevette and an '82 VW quantum. Never had I heard that you should leave the car in...
I'm with you on the price. I really wish they offered the manual on a lower priced trim of the Integra. Sure there are a lot of upgrades from the Si that it's based on (seats, heads up display, stereo, full digital instrumentation...and some things that were taken away from the Si like fog...
This is the nature of first gear in a manual. I will say that my 2023 Si is the least jerky in first gear which left an impression with me. From 1986 to 2007, all of my cars were manuals. In 2020 I took up driving manual again.
First gear is basically to get the car moving. My approach is...
In my area (Northwest NJ), the dealers are asking $5k markup, except for the dealer around the corner from me that was asking $3k. Because I was a returning customer and I was local, they knocked the markup down to $1400. It still irked me to pay over MSRP, but it's the reality today if you...
That sound give me brings back bad memories. This happened with my '19 Hatch and I freaked out. I drove to the dealer to get them to look at it and of course just as I got there it stopped. They put it on a lift just to make sure all was OK but they said it was probably a rock that got caught...
Probably your best bet is to download the owner's manual for the Si. Annoyingly, it is for different types of civics so it shows details for both the half and full displays, calling one of them "A" and the other "B". It was very annoying because I was trying to find features on my car that...
In my 10th gen Si, I prefer the overall look. It looks more aggressive with its more pronounced spoiler and the taillight design. The seats feel more substantial with better bolstering. It has fog lights and heated seats. There is more storage space in the center console below the cup...
Just picked up my '23 Si in black myself last week. This car looks sharp in black!!
As an owner of a 10th gen Si also, I noticed that the shifter felt stiffer in the new Si. It's stiffer yet more precise feeling. On my test drive I almost missed a downshift into 3rd because I had to put more...
So it's interesting how we have different experiences with these cars.
My 2023 Si has a FAR more forgiving suspension than my 2020. My 2020 has a very stiff feeling suspension in both normal and sport mode.
The seats in my 2023 are a little wider and are softer. In comparison, my 2020 seats...
I haven't seen that with Honda, but I saw it with my local Subaru dealer. I thought it was great that they had the window stickers online, but was horrified when I browsed the lot and saw additional things added to a sticker next to the window sticker. Most were between $4k-$5k ,mostly for...
Interesting comparison, thanks for posting. I'm surprised about the seats since no other reviews I've seen complaints about the seats. I'll see when my '23 comes in. My wife may not be a fan of the stiffer seats and stiffer ride since she complains a bit already about the ride in my '20 Si...
