I can't believe they had that many civics in one place in California and none of them got stolen
@@techyin326yeah. Now thieves in California break into any car within eyesight. That place is barbaric.
Yeah dude, it's all about the KIA BOIS now..
@@techyin326 Idk man, I knew someone who had his ek hatch stolen last year here in SoCal 😂
@@techyin326 nah Hondas are still stolen alot. At my work a guy with a Ek coupe got all his tools stolen and was broken into. While another girl with a 9th gen got her whole car stolen and gutted. Hopefully they don't do anything to my brother's car
@@techyin326 still happening but its usually the shit boxes that get stolen. highly modified and identifiable ones are usually too hot to be stolen. also their value is accounted for if you get caught and charged, basically get the book slapped into your face if you steal a +$10K civic and get caught.

My dear civic was at the bottom, but in my heart it's at the top! I LOVE the dash, it makes me feel a little like I'm driving a space ship, and it has held up really well.
Me too 😂
feel exactly the same way with my black 9th gen coupe Lol
For real!!! It looks solo nice at night... I put all the blue color interior and my exterior is crimson pearl with black wheels and all black accessories it's just the best gen...plus you can fit almost all accessories feom ex, exl, si, etc
Back in Vancouver canada in the late 90's, I bought a rare hatchback 6 speed Civic VX. Didn't know the importance of it because every 3 weeks I would get notes on the windshield to sell the car. And it had MILES, not Km's like in Canada. I "knew" then after I broke the front axle and left it on a side street for recovery. 5 days later when I returned, there were NOTES on the windshield naming prices they would buy it. I said "who buys cars with a broken axle with above market price? Are they insane?" I had no repair money back then as the insurance co said it was my fault so I sold it double to one guy who had the highest bid. He said he didnt care about the axle, he wanted the engine and the transmission.
Have the 2015 9th Gen and refuse to give it up (fam garage has a BMW 330 Ci)… it looks mundane, but it’s my little sleeper cell that blends in with the crowd when I see red and blue lights.

8th gen Civic Si. Last of the true VTEC using 'both' intake and exhaust cams.
My family used to have a '98 DX civic sedan with a silver color. 5 speed manual, manual everything-manual window cranks, manual door locks, we even hooked up a sirius xm to the cigarette lighter. That thing was a beast. Sold it with 250,537 miles on it due to a broken air conditioning compressor. Seeing that coupe was quite nostalgic.

Love these segments. Good job guys
I had a friend in high school who drove the 2nd gen Civic, so that's where my nostalgia is. Fred was a great car right up until some drunk dude peeled around the corner and smashed into him parked on the street while we watched. Lots of memories driving around in that car.
In similar way I loved my best friend’s GLC (77-78 ) and my te72 Corolla. Never would win any prizes for looks or performance, but great for teenage boys to use and abuse.
Rip fred. He will be missed
rip fred...
For a sec I thought Fred was your friend who's civic it was
Crazy! I have a 2nd gen civic wagon named Fred, which is the name given by the previous owner that i decided not to change
I'm 56 and the biggest issue I remember about my dad's cars and my early cars was them stalling all the time. Just like the 1973 model did, right in the intersection. Good times.
That was because he can't use a clutch well
@@mikeholland1031 murica...
13:38 my 07 Si was so fun. My friend has one still and man it's aged great I'd buy a used one in a heartbeat.
I've driven my 6th gen everyday for almost 17 years. A few years ago I started getting compliments on it. A kid I worked with called that a "classic japanese sports car." I love my car. And apparently, so does everybody else lol 😁👍
i drive a base '04 RSX and over the past few years I have started to get more attention towards it too. Our cars are getting to the age where they are becoming a bit more iconic 😅
The 8th gen si actually does have true vtec with shifting cam profiles for intake and exhaust along with VTC. This is only true for the iVTEC k20z3 in the si and the k20a2 in the rsx typeS. The other version of iVTEC in different K series (like k20a3) has only VTC and no shifting cam profiles -like what was mentioned in the video. 8th gen si marks the end of the high revving vtec and should not be overlooked. Crazy fun and quick car for the money.
its also the cloest the si ever got to the type r of the same generation in performance
This is why this video and other donut stuff annoys me they get stuff wrong all the time. It's purely for entertainment. The crossover is around as violent as those 90s ala Integra, civics, prelude screamers of yesteryear. If it was tuned in a certain way the crossover powerdip would be gone.
@Fatmouse25 I had an 08 FA5. Full-Race turbo kit with a 3076r. The tune 100% eliminated the crossover. Prior to the turbo, when it was just I/H/E and a basic tune... Things got rowdy real fast at crossover. At low rpms, it was just a loud grocery getter.
@@rileyrat13 yeah I'm near bone stock when is running healthy is apparent.
@@Fatmouse25 the did mention that it was from Hondata. Even the most basic of tunes with a flashpro drops the rpm for the VTEC crossover, giving it a smoother feel. Their comments are probably based off this because there is definitely a VTEC kick when it's the stock 5800 rpm engagement. I'm a little butt hurt over the lack of love for the FG in this vid 😞
I've owned over 100 Hondas and I currently drive a 9th gen si. I've said this for years. You can not beat a 99/00 honda Civic or Crv. Some of the most reliable vehicles I've ever owned.
I love my 9th Gen SI, i learned to drive stick on it!
Agreed, I had a 99 EX coupe and 2 EM1s. I still miss my EJ1....
You COULD try something else before you get too old!!
Would be better if they had the 13, or 14 9th gen since it’s a lot more sporty dictating on what they were disappointed on
@@Pikachu658 I love my 14 si
Thank you guys for doing your Civic duty.
So cool to see mine from back in the day 4th on the list. The 4 seat '86 Si (not the 2 seat CRX). For the time especially it was a breakthru and a standout. Who knew you could have so much fun with 91 hp? I completely loved the design and had fun autocrossing it (unmodified) here in Maine. Rust In Peace favorite old car.
That VTEC scream at 10:02 was a real THROWBACK for me lmao I love James' passion
The EK and EG civics really has a place in everyone’s hearts
Most definitely. All because it's beautiful, it's powerful for its weight and we don't care about comfort since it's not that pricey. For the newest gens, they seem too pricey for what they sell and how uncomfortable they are.
@@Felrock12 They actually rode well if you weren't stupid and modified them with garbage, but we were poor. The suspension was great and by comparison, all modern cars are fast. I think part of the charm was the character of the motor and the induction noises, the crossover, the potential, and the aftermarket. I remember always wondering why Honda refused to compete with everyone else with turbos and looking back I get it way more now. Looking back at the history of a motorcycle manufacturers doing everything by themselves and the cars made so much sense in their evolution especially outside of America. Where there were the Cosworths and Yamahas lending their expertise in cylinder head design Honda was doing the same on their own. Cable clutch aside, I'd probably toss the EF in as the trinity. Civic lost me in 06+. I think it was just lacking much character with the non-ergonomic mouse shape. What I dislike about them also was that they felt larger while having less space inside somehow. The competition also plays a huge role and if you compare the experience of a Civic in the 90s to a Cavalier or a Neon of the same time period the difference was staggering. I think the 90s Sentra SE-R actually stood up pretty well and the SR20 was a nice torquey experience. MKIII VR6 maybe? I'm still interested in picking one up after I finish the current build.
@@jinxtacy that SE-R interior was plainer than a Neon, and the car's most obvious weakness. But that powertrain was great--a viscous LSD?? Honda had to catch up with the 6th gen Si, what Nissan put in 6 years earlier!
@@deancoronado4898 I think a lot of 90s interiors being plain is something I kind of like about them. They seem to hold up better if the plastics don't get too brittle or dashes crack. I think Honda was a bit better with their plastic choices, Toyota was good, and Mazda was very poor in the plastics they used. Then again I think it almost got worse in the 2000s. Personally I dislike "soft touch" quality that journalist rave about after sitting in more than enough aged BMWs and VWs to just see what a mess they turn into in under 100k. Just my preference though. I don't remember too much about an LSD. I just remember it being a torquey experience that seemed to fair well against the Hondas of the day with less HP. You really had to be getting after it to really notice the lack of an LSD at
Except Demuro's he only likes British rubbish for his Cars and Bids website

@Yieldstress depends on how old you are. It's all based on nostalgia. Clearly, the newest type r is objectively the best.
Wrong, the 7th generation they had was not even correct in any way.
Had a 1977 Civic cvcc. Bought it from my parents for $300 in 1987. It would do 70 miles an hour all day long had it to 100 with four adults .Great Car! Long live the blue roller skate.
My first car was a 1.5LSI EG civic and i loved it! The shape, the split boot! I then had an escort RS turbo as my second car and it was also a fantasic car, but I have always loved my honda's! I have owned 3 civics An EG an EK and finally i managed to get hold of a Del Sol SiR, the B16 in that car was amazing! Defo miss having it. EP3 is next on the list to have. Great video, Loved seeing all every civic ever made!
I'm surprised that they ranked the 8th generation so low. The K20 motor is such a peppy gem. After owning a 7th gen 2003 Si from 2005-12, then trading that in for a 8th gen 2008 Si sedan that i"ve owned for over 10 years and only 124k miles, I actually opted to treat it to some love & restoration work (like repainting the whole body and repairing everything) instead of trading it in for a newer car and another car payment. I figure that I could either drive it another 10 years or sell it later.
Shocked me too. I wonder if they had sedan they might’ve enjoyed it more. I think it looks better and is more comfortable than the coupe 8th gen. Loving mine. needs paint too though. It’s a great car. Even had someone offer to buy it just yesterday.
do you like it more than the ep? i love my ep3 to death
I think the 8th gen is by far the best looking. It’s got the cleanest lines and looks the most sporty. When you black that car out it looks badass.
As much as I love the donut guys… this was 3 non Honda guys standing around talking about Hondas. Kinda painful.
@@db.5811 Ditto. I've had two offers over the last few years, even in its current condition.
Recently got an 8th gen Civic, its not an SI but definitely one of the best cars Ive driven.
I love the Honda Civic. It is one of my favorite Honda models, alongside the Accord, the CR-V, the Pilot, the Odyssey, and so many more.
I wonder, how the list would have turned out with the Euro and JDM models included. The FD2 and FN2 are way different. The 9th Gen FK2 Type R might have also changed the list quite a bit. I know, they are Not available in the US, but it would have been interesting to see.
Yup Europe has better options on some models of the civics
@@scoletheone5503 the ep3 europe is better, but fn2 was trash. The civic si fg2 slots between fd2 and fn2, fa5 exist for body conversion. Theres lsd and independent rear for the civic in the video unlike the fn2 it would had been at the bottom, its the same engine as fn2 but better in every way which wasn't talked about. Fk2 would had been up there fighting the new twins.
This! The American version of the 8th gen Civic looks so bad. Where I consider the European one, the best looking one, especially in its Type R variant. Seriously, when it came out it looked like nothing else with its interior and exterior looking as if it came out of a scifi movie. Is still want one of those. The Japanese version looks pretty good too.
@@Kluneberg I don't think anyone on here has driven the American eight or something. Because it actually performs better than the fn2 jfc.
yea, i'm wondering why FD2 isn't here since it's really great looking car.
I'm still driving a 2007 8th gen Civic. Mine was not subject to the belt tensioner bolt breakage recall, but the idler pulley broke off instead. This car WAS subject to the cracked block recall and got the extended engine warranty as result... but the engine block didn't crack until THAT warranty had expired. My son pulled an engine from a CNG Civic at a salvage yard, swapped in the old pistons (higher compression ratio pistons for CNG) and I've put another 30k on the car since then. Now it's FINALLY a good daily driver.
That's just bad luck, there's a 2006 Civic with over a million miles on it
Sad the 8th gen got heavily overlooked simply by the appearance.
I imagine CNG is basically non-existent at petrol stations, so that would make sense. I remember when I saw someone's video on a car engine that ran on LPG!

I have 2 hondas and i can tell you, you guys picked up the wrong 9th gen. The updated face lifted 9th gen (2014-2015) is so much better! Not only did it get a way cooler interior but it got more power, different exhaust, updated suspension, and a much better looking exterior! Also it has MO POWER BABY!

I beat the piss outta that thing for years and it never faltered. very easy to work on, just need a, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16mm socket for damn near everything on it. Parts are essentially free (for real, parts for my rc car cost more) Had 230k plus on it when I got it. ended up parting er out (every body panel was f'd up, no way I was gonna try to restore and no one would offer more than 500 to buy) and made about 1500. I was also able to buy a whole set of nice snow tires for $150 bucks on rims. That is the quintessential definition of cheap reliable transportation. that said highway driving in a place like SLC where traffic does 80 was terrifying, but as a city pizza delivery car, NOTHING better!
Just picked up a 01 LX sedan MT for 1000$. Needed a water pump but everything runs great- pump was 100$ its nuts how cheap it is to fix these things

EM1/EK>the rest of the civics generation
My first car was a '97 Camry, loved that car. But now I got a ''16 Civic and have been enjoying it for the last 4 years.
The disparity in the model year versus the intro year of each generation is definitely confusing....the model years were sometimes vastly different....that said, imo, the 3rd generation was truly a profoundly groundbreaking if not a landmark vehicle design. The engineering and design set a standard for the industry for years. It was unique, well-built, beautifully engineered, roomy, quick, efficient, and everything worked together in perfect harmony.
My first car was a maroon 77 Civic and it was fun to play around on gravel roads and only took $8 to fill up.
The 9th gen Civic got a great refresh that you guys should've tested, they improved the car a lot with that refresh.
Facts bro, they picked the 2012 which is possibly the worst one interior wise especially out of all the 9th gen Si’s (not that it’s a bad car at all tho but 2014-15 is where it’s at)
@@FB6Gabe They picked the worst 9th gen and didn't even review the coupe model and they put it on the bottom of the list lmfao
EG series will always be the best.
Wow guys, thanks for getting this basically right. Having owned 50+ 4/5/6 gen civics, as much as I love the EG the EK(but get a HB) is just a better and unfortunately heavier car. New FK8 owners have a hard time admitting the old cars are better. Next you can go down the rabbit hole of modded 5/6 gen civics, B swaps, K swaps, AWD, turbo... The key to keeping it good is some level of comfortable and daily driveability, that's also the 6 gen edge over the 5th, it's solid and quieter.
50+? 😂 why?

There was no other one on the road. By the 80's though, they were everywhere; first gens included. Oh.. and that smell? Yeah. Had a VERY distinct 70's car smell. Smelled like plastic, gas, metal and my grandfather, but mixed up as a good cologne.
"this is a great motor, I'm just disappointed it lives inside this car" what a quote lol

I had a 6th gen 98 DX hatchback. It only had 113hp (or 116hp?) and everything was manual even the windows cranks. But it was the best car I ever had. For 12 years, the only repair I did was a power steering hose replacement. The rest was just regular maintenance. The fact that it was my first car gifted from my late mom and dad, made that car even more special.

I love how the EP3 was the 'forgotten Civic' in the US. In the UK, it's the one everyone knows about and wants. Also, we had a lot more Type Rs

I have a 2014 9th gen si. Honda made improvements on the 9th gen after 2012/2013. I wish you would have had a chance to compare that one. I absolutely love mine. It just passed 200k on the odometer and runs like a clock. Ive driven a few different genrations. The 9th is my favorite out of the ones ive drive. Dream civic would be that beautiful 6th gen si
The last year these videos have had alot of up n downs. Love you Donut!!
True. But this vid is definitely an up!
I miss the old donut!
how many subs can I get from this comment? Current:1.45k

@@2kchallengewith4video how many people will tell you to shut uo? currently: 1
Tbh I think the 8th gen si is the one of the best out the bunch lol. Double wishbone rear and McPherson front suspension comes with a LSD and with just basic bolt on's intake/header/exhaust you can make 220whp with a tune. Also the chassis is a well known chassis to be very good on the track.
Not to mention the 8k redline of the k20
8ths are lame
sure, but it looks kinda meh, you see like a million of them on the way to work and back…
@@tamiwu0346 Those are the basemodel's you're seeing though. 8th gen si is literally the last civic ever made with real VTEC 2 cam profile VTEC on the exhaust and intake side. Also you can make them redline at 9000 with Hondata on stock rods 😂
@@rock-uu7qr Lame to people who haven't driven a 8th gen si I guess lol. I've driven a lot of civics of all generations 8th gen si was one of the best handling and the fastest out of them all. Also the easiest to make power on next to the RSX type S with the K20A2. Only issue with the type S is it doesn't have an LSD
Can't believe yall did the ep3 so dirty ... And would've loved to know what your guys thought on the Fn2 type R would be .. the last naturally aspirated type R
The Fn2 was never sold in the US, can't drive a car you can't get your hands on
That poor ep3, they are such fun cars! I currently have an Fn2 and absolutely love it, really would have liked to see their thoughts. The Fn2 is a completely different car when compared to the U.S. 8th gen, so it’s not a fair comparison…
Fd2 > imo 😂
I think its because the EP type r and the 8th and 9th gen hatches were never sold in the US. The us had to live with the ugly Sedans and Coupes without any Type R.
@@4.6_boat I understand that .. but can't just ignore it .. maybe then state in the title "every civic in the us " didnt you guys get the fk2 as well ?
I agree with this list well done!
I just restored my fathers 1997 EK1 anniversary model Civic im never parting wth it !!! Worth more now!!! Absolutely priceless cypress green
Nothing makes my late grandma prouder than her "cute, cheap, reliable, good on gas!" car to get to church and bingo is actually a sport car.
Proud to hear that you guys rated the EM1 first. I was fortunate enough to learn stick back in 07 on a 98 Civic DX hatch. It changed the course of my life. I was an aimless, depressed kid until I found myself ripping through gears, redlining every shift pushing my tires to the limit every night. Not only did it change my hobbies, but I got into logistics as a result. From there, I went on to building cars, and now I’m in logistics in the plant building the cars we make. It literally changed my career too. I owe who I am to the EM1.
I learned to drive stick a couple years ago in an '00 Sedan. I still think about it, and I miss that car dearly. We had to sell it because we just didn't have the room for it.
What an awesome video. I just got a 1986 Honda Civic Hatchback 5 speed with a carburator. Has some cool old Raceline wheels on it. But yeah in my opinion the 3rd gen was second place lol would love to see a video on carburators for these old things to bring them back.
I owned a 77 Civic hatchback. It was an awesome car for the city. Plenty of pep at low speeds, maneuverable, and was so short it made finding parking spots a breeze. Excellent gas mileage. With the rear seat down had pretty good storage capacity. With rear seat up, rear passengers has decent room. And it was great in the snow. Downside was the lack off a 5th gear. Got very loud on the highway at 70mph.
I’m glad y’all ranked my generation of civic last 🤙🏻
Yea I own a 9th Gen as well, not even an Si…..it’s a LX. I haven’t even driven the others and I know it’s the worst one of them all.
I had a '14 si coupe, absolutely loved it.
They definitely missed it with that generations styling
Same!!!
My 9th gen is great it's a great fun car but why last?
That red third gen Civic Si was absolutely gorgeous
My first car was an EJ6, and now - 15 years on, It's still my favourite! I'd love to have an EM1 at this point.
As a Civic connoisseur this video is beautiful and I think you nailed the mono list rankings. Loved all of this
Love it. I had a 91 CIVIC back in college with a 4-speed manual, this brought back plenty of memories. Keep up the good work!
I enjoyed mine so much as a youngster I decided to hold on to it...23 years and counting.
Just bought a 8th gen civic as my car and it needs some work but its amazing I’m loving it so far
Gen 1 - I learned to drive on one Gen 2 - First car I owned. Gen 5 - owned the 4 door. Gen 8 - Amazing for tons of mileage!
Several years ago I got a 98' manual. I had never regretted any of my cars sold but that Civic. I had never felt the greatness and joy to drive again, been looking for another but hard to find. This video brought me a big smile
Same. I miss my 97 Civic Si. Was so reliable and great to drive. Now I drive a Mercedes and it's great when it works but man is it unreliable.
Well done. I agree with this ranking. And I think you've started something. You could do this with so many car models out there you'd be busy doing it for a while and I'd be watching every bit of it.
2006 HONDA CIVIC ‼️
Love Justin just chilling in the back along for the ride randomly waving at the chase car.
The ep3 is so popular over here in the UK, i sold mine a few years back due to the rust bucket it became, their value is just going up and up, its insane. Such an awesome car, feels so alive
Man this brings back so many good memories!My first car was a 1979 Civic my parents bought me when I turned 16 in 1988 and I loved it pretty much just because it was a car HAHA.After a couple years I got sick of bogging down if their were 4 people in the car and bought a 1988 Camaro.
I had that red '86 back in the 90's. The exact same car. It even had the same sound when you started it. I put 250,000 miles till the engine died. I also had an '85 CRX Si, and an '87 Prelude Si. Love those Hondas.
Shoutout to the guys for keeping the 8/9th gen Si hidden gems. They really are the perfect blend of classic and modern Honda. Lightweight, LSD, K series, extremely neutral chassis balance.
I miss mine so much. So many good memories. Unfortunately the transmission shit at 115k
i love my 9th gen 2015 Si sedan. bought it used in 2016 with 15k miles. i am 2nd owner of the car. it's still bone stock with 76k miles right now.
@@caseyvuen111 I wish i was you lol. the prices for those have gone up like crazy in the last few years.
@@3shotzz1 yea it's insane not too long ago a Honda dealership in my area had a blue 2015 SI with 60k miles for 22k I wanted it but I just couldn't get past that price
@@3shotzz1 just got a 8th gen sedan that was bassicaly abandoned for 600 and there is nothing wrong with it lol
My first civic was a use 2002 dx. It had rolled up windows, but it was fun to drive. Now I have 2012, and I think you underrated it.
Seeing Nolan road rage is so wholesome, knowing that he is a gentle soul
I bought a brand new Civic in '73. I'll be kind and just say Honda still had a lot to learn about making cars. I didn't by a Honda again until my brand new '89 CRX. Most reliable car I have ever owned, and terrific gas mileage. Honda definitely learned how to build cars.
A lot Of hard work into this
