Pros: Solid looks exterior and interior. Interior has the classic Honda plastic feel to it but higher quality, the dash is much more sturdy than the prior Hondas I’ve owned. Shift and clutch feels great. Easy visibility. Infotainment works “most of the time”. Corners very well (no body roll, feels confident on the road) Cons: Extremely rough ride, I get that it’s a “sports car” but I feel Honda could have done much better in providing a bit more comfort for a daily driven car. It’s not a race car at 200hp yet I feel every bump in the road. The infotainment for wireless CarPlay sometimes won’t play any sound out of it and the only fix is shutting the car off and back on. The back and door panels have horrible rattles coming out of it. If you’re putting a Bose audio system in the car there has to be some sort of sound dampening which Honda seems to have failed on. I stuck weather stripping between the back window and panel and seems to have gotten better. No dual climate, heated seats or any other features. If looking at a decent daily driver with a 6 speed I’d go sport touring for a little more money. Most likely slightly better ride and value for the money. Overall a solid car and reliability is obvious with it being a Honda. Would recommend to someone who doesn’t need the extra features and doesn’t mine a rough ride.

I sold Honda for years and I always loved driving the Civic SI. I prefer a manual tranny and this car offers that plus a lot more. It’s spacious and the front “racing” style seats hug you! The display is quite large in comparison to other makes in its class. This car performs seamlessly as it always has.

Perfect daily driver. Smooth, practical, comfortable, great interior, stereo system, mileage and glorious manual transmission. A true drivers car worthy of a serious look to enthusiasts of any age.
