The 9th generation Civic Si, sold from 2012 to 2015, marked a significant shift in philosophy for Honda's sport compact. It replaced the 8th generation's high-revving 2.0-liter K20 with a larger, torquier 2.4-liter K24Z7 engine. While the initial 2012 model received criticism for its soft suspension and interior quality, Honda responded quickly with a substantial refresh for the 2013 sedan and 2014 coupe, which added power, retuned the suspension, and improved the materials.
As the last naturally aspirated Civic Si, this generation holds a special place for many Honda enthusiasts. It combines the direct, analog feel of its predecessors with more modern conveniences and a much stronger midrange powerband thanks to its 170 lb-ft of torque (later 174 lb-ft). The refined 2014-2015 models, particularly the coupes, are the most sought-after by collectors and drivers.
With an average sale price around $15,000, the 9th gen Si is an accessible entry point into modern classics. Prices are heavily dependent on mileage, condition, and modifications. Clean, low-mileage, and unmodified examples are bringing strong money, with top sales exceeding $30,000, suggesting a growing appreciation for these cars.
Buying Tips
- Check for peeling or failing clear coat, a common issue on Hondas of this era, especially in red, blue, and black.
- The K24 engine can consume oil. Ask for service records and check the oil level and condition to gauge engine health.
- Inspect for modifications. While common, poorly executed mods can lead to reliability issues. Stock or tastefully modified cars are usually a safer bet.
- During the test drive, listen for a creaking or popping sound from the clutch pedal, which can indicate a failing clutch master cylinder.
- The 2013+ sedans and 2014+ coupes feature upgraded suspension, more power, and better interiors, making them more desirable than the 2012 models.
Prices for the 9th generation Civic Si range from $7,200 for higher-mileage examples to over $30,000 for pristine, low-mile cars.
