So, what color did you decide to go with?

I didn't get it. Wolf gray with red interior

Oh, so you kept her instead?

Really was excited about the improvements, feeling sad they no longer have the heated seats. A deal breaker when you live in MN. The 10th gen SI has all the checkboxes for the perfect winter commuter. Maybe they will update to heated seats in a refresh. That or maybe its Time to bite the bullet on the Type R when that gets released.

Or wait for the Integra.

Probably because the Si is made in Canada so the money spent on US Tariffs get them more features.

No, it's because we buy small cars with premium features in large amounts and aren't as obsessed with SUVs.

While there are some new features I wish I had on my 2019 Si (heated steering wheel and wireless CarPlay) I don't care for the overall design and lack of a coupe or hatchback.

Some nice upgrades, the lighter flywheel, auto-rev match, firmer bushings and improved transmission all sounds good but they took away ADS and down graded the the instrument cluster, I'm not seeing a coolant temp gauge in the interior shots ugh I was thinking about trading my '20 coupe in for a sedan...guess its best to wait for the reviews.

That’s auto rev match button. I don’t think you can do stop/start on an MT car.

Yes, there is auto start/stop on MT cars, unfortunately... I was in Spain last month and my GF's sister has a VW crossover with a 6MT and the annoying auto start/stop.

As long as you are fully stopped with your foot on the brake and trans in neutral, the auto start/stop will work the same an in an AT car.

The Civic Sport Touring hatch is $30k so how will this be less????

Even the 10th gen Hatchback Sport Touring is more than the 10th gen SI.

The 11th gen ST has (slightly) more luxury compared to the 11th gen SI: heated seats, leather seats, power seats, remote start, etc.

Exterior snoozefest aside, incremental improvements on everything else. ?? However, really disappointed at losing heated seats and dual zone. Really hope to get these back at refresh. Needs to hit $26000 - $26700 MSRP to seal the deal. ?

I believe the new Hyundai Elantra 'N' may get more interest from me.

I don't think the N and the Si will be priced similarly.
But performance wise, obviously the N will be better than the Si and the Type R will be better than the N. That's how money works.

When Civic Si is in Sport mode, auto stop-start is disabled.

Nope. There are no Tariffs on vehicles made in the US and Canada that go back and forth for retail sale.

As for the new Si and as an owner of a 22 Touring Sedan, here is my take:

Get a touring, get a tuner, be a sleeper with ALL the creature comforts. Done. Other than suspension changes, the Touring sedan is so much better than the GenX in general that unless you want to go full rice with your car and you don't want to be limited by a CVT, I just don't see the point. These cars are very sedate looking but have a truly excellent interior and ride/handling. I have been on a few long highway and back road runs with my Touring and man, ya. Boring looking, not boring car.

Oh and put on wider tires if you want the extra grip for some reason (235 on Touring and 245? on Si). This Si is a real bore of a car but I do like the exhaust.

Or... I guess there's the off button

As much as I don't like the xi exterior, the Elantra is horrid. It's even worse in person. Those odd angled haunches and doors are ? and the rear is just as ridiculous

The K5 is a much more handsome kdm option

The K5 doesn't offer a manual does it? I am only interested in a manual, even at 64 years of age!

Si gets the same tire size (235/40/18) as Touring. I think they’re meant to target different buyers (sporty manual vs loaded CVT commuter).

Mazda3 hatch Premium has a 6mT.
