Absolutely fun car to drive.

I came from a 2018 Ex-T manual. The SI for me fixes all the things I didn't like about the EX-T. Stiffer ride, more pep, better wheels, limited slip diff, volume button, plus it looks cooler.

Bang for the buck performance with every day use

With aggressive styling to match the 1.5 turbo and a 6 speed manual, the 2020 Honda Civic Si coupe is a the perfect car for someone looking for a sporty car that is affordable and useable every day. Kept short and simple...The 1.5 turbo motor is peppy enough to make you smile while still getting an epa average of 30 mpg (personally getting higher). The manual trans is quick and easy to row through. The exterior styling is definitely "boy racer" but still manages to look beautiful and looks great at every angle. Interior feels great with controls being easy to use and understand. For a 2 door, the backseat is still useable if you can get past the slight inconvenience of getting to it. As a dad, a car seat fits perfectly and the myriad of standard safety tech makes you fell secure putting one back there in the first place. I have had the car for four days and so far, no complaints, only smiles.

This car is a tough daily commuter

Lots of clutch action during traffic not a fast car but a fun easy to ride along town. You feel every bump and ride quality is ok.

Sweet ride

Let me tell you, it was tough to go easy on the pedal for the first 1000 miles (Honda recommends 600 - I played it safe.) I've disabled/toned down some of the "driver assist" tech because it's more of a distraction than I'm comfortable with, but Sue helped me with that. I'm a little disappointed that the two-tier information panel (from my 2015 Si) has been replaced by a tiny display in the center of the tach/speedometer area, and you have to hit "Info" and scroll to get to different screens. But I keep the Power/Brake display in there, and have MPG on the center display. I have not yet stomped on the gas from sitting still, but am stoked about it, when it happens. :) The turbocharged four-banger does a pretty good job when it comes to acceleration. And the bucket seats - great idea - are useful for those times that you accelerate hard enough to throw you and your passengers into them. All in all, better acceleration than my 2015 Si, better gas mileage, and I switched from a coupe to a sedan, and I'm loving every driving minute of it.

I love my car.

It is a reasonably priced sporty high tech car! I love it. It is quick, stylish and has the best gadgets. I love the 6 speed and the sunroof.

2020 Honda Civic SI - Excellent

This car isn't short of anything - Speed, interior/exterior design, standard features. Driver seat is very comfortable, Dashboard instruments are very user friendly, 6 speed manual transmission is extraordinary.

Very fun and Surprisingly Good on Gas

I love the interior and the exterior! As I walk away from it, I occasionally turn around to see how good it looks. I love the way it drives, especially the notchy gears.

So much fun to drive!

I don’t think it’s possible to get more performance for $26k. Incredible value. The manual transmission is as good as they come. The engine has a ton of pep. I was caught off guard by the amount of power.
