I'd advise you do a little legwork to familiarize yourself with your market and then make your purchase decision based on that data. MSRP on any Civic hatch right now (5+ month waiting list) is going to be tough to find.
Check my reply in Civic 11 forum. Don't hold the switch up when testing. It will negate the anti-pinch function. I've demonstrated this thousands of times in all different models of Hondas and have never been pinched.
My fuel economy is gradually going up with miles and temperatures rising. Current average on my third tank is 33.5 mpg. Mostly city commuting to/from work.
I wasn't for sure until I saw it on my new ST. It looks fantastic in my opinion. As a matter of fact, I'll snap some new photos of mine from more angles.
Thanks for sharing your insights Vincent. I've noticed that my stock airbox has more induction noise and recirculate valve sound than my '18 did. I recall you mentioning you're working on exhaust, right? Hatch and sedan?
For the upgrades I got from my '18 ST, it was well worth it. Bose, blind spot monitoring, rain sensing wipers that actually work, parking sensors and tactile HVAC controls.
