With an overall Carivo score of 8.1/10, the 2019 Honda Civic Si earns a Recommended rating among the sportss we've scored. Its strongest dimension is Reliability at 8.8/10, while Technology at 7.3/10 is where it trails the competition most noticeably. It's a solid all-rounder that delivers across most dimensions without obvious deal-breakers.
Reliability and safety are the two dimensions that matter most for long-term ownership costs. We rate the Honda Civic Si's reliability at 8.8/10 — among the strongest in our sports database, reflecting the nameplate's track record and recall history. On safety it earns 8.4/10: respectable, if not class-leading — several competitors bundle more driver-assist tech as standard. Check your trim's official ratings at nhtsa.gov.
Performance lands mid-pack at 7.7/10: enough power and composure for everyday needs, without the dynamics that distinguish the segment's driver-focused options. Technology comes in at 7.3/10 — functional and modern, with wireless connectivity and core ADAS features, though some competitors pack more standard tech at this price point.
Priced from $26,137–$30,156, 25 MPG, seating 5, the Honda Civic Si sits in the mid-market bracket of the sports segment. The 8.1/10 value score is the headline: relative to what it costs, this sports delivers more than most of the class. At 7 years old, resale value, parts availability, and whether a successor model has improved on its weak points are all worth investigating before committing.
Bottom line: Think of the 2019 Honda Civic Si as the dependable pick rather than the exciting one. Shoppers who value predictability over headlines will be well served.
