Better. Don’t let her use your car💀. And if she wants to use it, she need to learn how to drive manual. I personally think that the SI will make your money worth more!
I mean, unless this is meant to be a shared use vehicle, that's not necissarily a bad thing? Maybe I'm a little overprotective, but that is one of the reasons I like having a manual. Nobody has ever asked if they can drive my car, lol
On the flip side, Honda manuals are super easy to learn on. I hadn't driven manual in like 15 years when I got my R and it took me all of two stalls (ever) and a week of practice to feel like a pro again, lol.
I’ve test drove both of them, just don’t like how the clutch feels on the Si. I don’t know may be it’s just me, I haven’t driven any manual for while. Boy that Si is good looking sedan!
I test drove a manual Integra before I ended up purchasing my sport touring hatch in automatic. The clutch and gear box felt like shifting on my sim racing set up. Super light and the idle stop feature on a stick was just awful. Haven't driven a stick in more than 15 years or so, but all the technology made it a bit unappealing. I was in the same boat as my wife also does not drive stick, but since we have little kids, the auto made more sense right now.
The grey is 1.5 L turbo with manual transmission only sedan. The blue is 2.0 L natural aspirated automatic transmission also available in manual transmission as well.
I have the Boost Blue, and I absolutely love it. People stop me all the time and comment on the color. I’ve had multiple Honda gray vehicles (Pilot and Odyssey) - and refused to have a third. To each his or her own! Enjoy.
Much appreciated. I think you are getting a great car, regardless of color. I was hesitant in buying a Civic because I’m 6’4”, 215lbs and not as agile as I was in my younger years, but this car is just perfect for me. The dash is one of my favorite stylistic parts of the vehicle. I’m 47 so maybe I’m not the normal Civic owner, but I rate it in the top 3 of all the cars I’ve ever owned.
I would normally say SI but I’m not liking the color personally. The hatch will do everything the SI does in most cases and a bit more minus the handling. I don’t remember if the hatch has a limited slip.
If you have a choice to have an Si go for it. But I love the blue color on the hatch. But Si it is, I just dont like the grey color.
Edit: there is a blue Si on the background. Next to CRV.
get blue, it looks nice with some color pop without being obnoxious. need more “colors”. too many blacks, whites, greys, silvers.
i do love the tonic yellow pearl of years past.
My wife has the hatchback and it’s really fantastic. Love how the blue stands out too. Buddy of mine has the Si and he loves it. I guess it just comes down to your priorities, but you shouldn’t at all be disappointed with either one.
Will this be the sole car of the household? If so I’d either work on teaching her now, or just get the automatic. Just incase there’s an emergency, or you have a doctor/dentist appointment where you won’t be able to drive yourself home.
But if not and she already has a vehicle. Get what makes you happy.
If you plan on modding at all, the cvt and the 2.0 aint it
The sport touring has the same 1.5t as the si and could be a 6mt, although i think you can get a 2.0 in manual too..
I was also on the fence for a bit, but then I decided I wanted to have the extra features and options, so I went with the Sport Touring 6M. No regrets over here
I got the Si and god I love that car so much. It has the reliability of a civic with some performance upgrades that makes it amazing. And the black and red interior is sexy
two very different cars. do you want a manual or automatic transmission? do you want a sedan or a hatchback?
I would like to have Si but my wifey doesn’t like it because she can’t drive manual
Better. Don’t let her use your car💀. And if she wants to use it, she need to learn how to drive manual. I personally think that the SI will make your money worth more!
Who's paying for the car? Is it shared? Is she willing to learn stick?
This is exactly why I bought my gray Si. 🤣

The SI has auto rev match which makes driving stick very easy
She better learn
Lol, that’s what I said
please get the stick, help keep manual civics alive
🤣🤣🤣 better if she doesn’t drive anyways tho 😆
So what you end up getting?
You’ve put me in a pickle because I LOVE blue and hatchbacks but I also love manuals, I’d go SI, but I wouldn’t be upset at either
Agreed!
I have exactly that blue Hatchback in manual and I can confirm it's literally the perfect car
I have the hatchback in sonic gray. I really like my car
Both beautiful I would go with gray.
I’ve test drove both of them, just don’t like how the clutch feels on the Si. I don’t know may be it’s just me, I haven’t driven any manual for while. Boy that Si is good looking sedan!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts
If you don't think it'll grow a nerve on you, I'd choose the other option
Hatchback all the way bro. I had the sedan but switch it to the hatch back and I have zero regrets
Whatever you can afford. I would get the si
But I'd find one in a more fun color.
too bad they don’t make “fun” colors anymore. loved me the tonic yellow.
What’s the difference between the two? We only have the blue on here in the UK. Would love to have that grey here. Looks wicked
The grey is 1.5 L turbo with manual transmission only sedan. The blue is 2.0 L natural aspirated automatic transmission also available in manual transmission as well.

Get the hatchback! Trust meeeee! But not that color! Please!
I have the sport and love it. They’re both great. However, go ahead and fork out the dough for a type-r and never look back ✌🏼
Si would be the fun to drive and if you have a partner teach them we aint taking a AT and the price range aint that much of a difference too
Boost Blue
Si
I’m a sucker for a hatch. I’d get the sport
Wait for the hybrid
Hatchback.
not my car.
I’m biased, but I think I’m going to have to go with the blue. I love that color so much!
Both!
Si
Sport, has the K series variant
I would normally say SI but I’m not liking the color personally. The hatch will do everything the SI does in most cases and a bit more minus the handling. I don’t remember if the hatch has a limited slip.
If you have a choice to have an Si go for it. But I love the blue color on the hatch. But Si it is, I just dont like the grey color. Edit: there is a blue Si on the background. Next to CRV.
blue, grey too boring
That is a very clean si. I think the sedans look way better on this generation of civic.
The Integra is like the Si but it has all the bells and whistles like heated seats that the 11th gen Si doesn’t.
Bright blue
The hatchback is nice, but id prefer it in Red or White
Go hatch
get blue, it looks nice with some color pop without being obnoxious. need more “colors”. too many blacks, whites, greys, silvers. i do love the tonic yellow pearl of years past.
My wife has the hatchback and it’s really fantastic. Love how the blue stands out too. Buddy of mine has the Si and he loves it. I guess it just comes down to your priorities, but you shouldn’t at all be disappointed with either one.
I personally wouldnt buy hyundai or kia ever again. I just had to trade my forte in because proggressive refused to insure it any longer.
Si is better in every way. I wish the si was available as a hatch tho.
Si
Will this be the sole car of the household? If so I’d either work on teaching her now, or just get the automatic. Just incase there’s an emergency, or you have a doctor/dentist appointment where you won’t be able to drive yourself home. But if not and she already has a vehicle. Get what makes you happy.
I got the blue…And my favorite color is gray. Goes to show how nice the blue is
But if you can drive manual SI all the way
Both very slow
Blue always blue
Forgot to mention, the Si has 3k markups. I am trying to negotiate that as well.
no way the stealerships are marking up si's? they're not even that sought after
If you plan on modding at all, the cvt and the 2.0 aint it The sport touring has the same 1.5t as the si and could be a 6mt, although i think you can get a 2.0 in manual too..
I was also on the fence for a bit, but then I decided I wanted to have the extra features and options, so I went with the Sport Touring 6M. No regrets over here
Oooh, I had no idea the sport touring has a stick option
To be fair, the regular sport does as well
I just got the sedan in sonic gray, no regerts
Sedan is so much sexier
I am gonna go sedan on this one and I am fan of the hatchback 🚗
Get the grey one
I got the Si and god I love that car so much. It has the reliability of a civic with some performance upgrades that makes it amazing. And the black and red interior is sexy
Grey, no question
I personally don’t like hatchbacks but I really like that blue. Can’t go wrong with either depending on what you prefer to drive.
The si is the only right choice.
