Pros | Affordable fun, sweet shifter, major interior upgrade |
Cons | Dull steering, dull engine, US models lack features |
Bottom Line | The Civic Si is still a fun Civic, but the rest of the warm-compact market has evolved. Feels more like a Touring Plus for those who still crave a manual transmission—and it remains the best manual in the class, so at least there's that. |

All the 2023 Honda Civic Si Differences Between the US and Canada

Or, the grass is always greener.
Despite what Letterkenny or South Park might lead you to believe, Canada is pretty darned similar to the US in most ways—especially our auto industry. You’ll find pretty much every car south of the border up north as well. Some might have trim name differences, or in the case of the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport (RVR) or Nissan Rogue Sport (Qashqai), entirely new names.

Honda Civic Si vs Volkswagen Golf GTI vs Hyundai Elantra N: Sport Compact Shootout
![honda civic si review specs pricing features videos and more](https://cdn-fastly.autoguide.com/media/2023/07/02/13456684/hyundai-elantra-review-specs-pricing-videos-and-more.jpg?size=720x845&nocrop=1)
Fun, affordable, practical. It’s the car version of the Iron Triangle, but with sport compact cars, you don’t have to pick two qualities. Here, you’ve got all three.
The Honda Civic Si and Volkswagen Golf GTI are hardly unknowns. They’ve been on our roads, and in our hearts, for decades, melding compact car usefulness with added turns of speed and poise. Both saw new generations touch down in 2022, so naturally we’d have to get them together.
Then Hyundai crashed the party. The Elantra N is an altogether wilder proposition, the most hardcore small sedan we’ve seen. It doesn’t try to hide it, either. Pumped up and featuring one of the best four-cylinder soundtracks out there, The Elantra N nonetheless continues Hyundai’s tradition of serious value for money. We already know it’s good on the track, but can it impress in the real world?
2022 Honda Civic Si First Drive: Five Things We Learned
![honda civic si review specs pricing features videos and more](https://cdn-fastly.autoguide.com/media/2023/06/29/13445263/honda-civic-si-review-specs-pricing-features-videos-and-more.jpg?size=720x845&nocrop=1)
The 2022 Honda Civic Si follows the old formula of making a Civic fun: It has more power, a sport suspension, racey red interior bits, and a manual transmission. But is the car really fun or too tame?
The new Si wears the latest Civic’s more serious and arguably better-looking skin. The robotic mantis styling is gone, replaced with more simple lines and scowling headlamps. The last car’s fake plastic vents are also gone, and overall the new Si looks more purposeful and refined. Yet it retains some of the fussiness of the previous generation, including a few awkward kinks and creases.
In this trim the car sports the classic red Si badge, a honeycomb grille, blacked-out window trim, blacked-out 18-inch wheels, and dual exhaust pipes. All the cars at the Honda Si release event were slathered in rusty orange (brown? bronze? brorange?) paint, giving them a warm yet spooky autumnal glow that made me wonder if the release was originally scheduled for Halloween. Orange is my favorite color so I may be biased, but I absolutely loved it. The car is also available in a rich metallic blue that contrasts the red accents nicely. Overall the new Civic Si gives off sophisticated vibes. The look will appeal to a more grown-up crowd, but some fans may miss the wild flair of the previous generation.
