Saving for the Integra maybe? Or maybe just cost savings. I like the non-sport setting just fine on mine.No 'adaptive' dampers like 10th gen either

Lol if they do I’ll be laughing because all 10th Gen owners and Civic fans will go crazy!!Wonder if the FL2 will drop in hp as well since the Si did![]()
You went from 2017 sport hatch to 2020 si? ? I did the exact same thing, and looking at Integra or Type R next, though I've no complaints about the Si, it's close to perfect.Well my 2020 Si purchase has been justified. I could get past the boring looks if it had a good bump in power but here we go.. also I’ll take the adaptive suspension over auto rematch any day. I’m hoping the integra isn’t a let down like this as that’s the only other car I’d upgrade to.
The Civic Sport Touring hatch is $30k so how will this be less????If it’s not $28k before destination then i’m all for it. I’ve always wanted a Si but the traffic in Atlanta has always turned me away. However I honestly don’t care anymore. Sucks that they didn’t really change the wheels or make it too different looking but I’m honestly game. Probably won’t be able to find out until next year but I don’t mind waiting as long as I get it at MSRP.
Right, bit less HP is not necessary a big deal in terms of performance (but it is in terms of image, feel, marketing....anyway) , but only if the improvement sides are more than a bit. But given the 10th gen is already handling very good, we will wait for the test drive to see how much better are the handling and fun.I hope the Active Sound Control thing can be turned off. Whatever idiot thought that up needs to be fired
A tiny bit less HP isn't that big of a deal IMO; body/chassis improvements are much more important variables in the fun-to-drive factor, at least to me, than 5 or 10 more HP.
I almost looks like they tried to copy VW Golf plaid seat, but did it poorly.If Hondata sold a chip with only 20 hp and 15 lbs they would be out of business. Can you get it without those hideous red seats?
I think the Integra rained on the Si's parade. It's the only thing that explained the HP drop - if the Integra is like 215-220 hp to justify the $5k premium.Looks like Honda phoned this Si in. Expected min 230hp and factory front lip and unique wheels.
The SI has always cost less than the Touring or Sport Touring. Those cars have much more equipment leather etc. The SI is basically an EX With a slightly better engine. I dunno why im so disappointed. But I am.The Civic Sport Touring hatch is $30k so how will this be less????
And Dyno HP likely has an even larger drop.I’m just trying to understand how we are supposed to spend more on 91 octane to fuel a 200 hp engine…. All I know is MSRP better be less than the Sport Touring Hatch
