2020 Honda Civic Si Coupe Safety and Reliability

The Si Coupe has not been crash-tested by either the NHTSA or IIHS, but the standard two-door base models have been put through their paces. The NHTSA was impressed with its overall abilities and gave it a full five out of five stars on its overall rating scale. The IIHS, as per usual, was more critical in their post-crash analysis and found that the Civic's headlights were not up to scratch, although top scores of Good were given for six other evaluations.

The Si Coupe comes fully loaded with all the safety features Honda has to offer for the Civic range of cars. This means you get the entire suite of basic safety features such as ABS, traction control, and six airbags, but the best bits are to be found under the Honda Sensing technologies umbrella. Standard active driver assistance features include forward collision avoidance assistance, road departure mitigation, adaptive cruise control, lane keep and lane departure assistance as well as auto forward braking. The LED headlights sport auto on/off function, and the reverse parking camera includes dynamic guideline markers. It is impressive to see these types of advanced driver assistance systems being made available as standard at this price point.

You might as well skip this section, as the Civic Si Coupe hasn't been recalled once in the last two years. The people over at J.D. Power are also quite fond of the Si Coupe, giving the 2019 model a reliability and consumer satisfaction rating of 78 out of a possible 100. Honda backs the Civic Si Coupe with a basic three-year/36,000-mile warranty, which includes a five-year/60,000-mile drivetrain warranty, a five-year/unlimited-mile corrosion warranty, and a three-year/36,000-mile roadside assistance plan.
