How would you fix the 2022 Civic Si?

• Heated seats
• Heated seats

This omission is a real head scratcher. Seat heaters do not add much cost nor weight to a car, and the prior generation had them. Not only that, the seats appear to be identical to the last Si seats. No R&D needed ... just put the old seats in the new car!

The Si seats are absolutely phenomenal and they are one of my favorite aspects of the car. Even in the middle of the country there are probably 5 cold months where warm seats are highly welcomed. And that's saying nothing about the northern regions.

I really don't get the thinking here.

I also don't get why Honda lost the temp gauge from the Si so all we get is a stupid dash warning light now.

• Add a hatchback
• Make the steering wheel flat bottomed and change the bottom spoke to match the black /w red trim of the dash
• Black door cards with red stitching
• Seats from CTR sport with a minor red accents
• Cut the price hike in half at least
• Add updated adaptive dampers
• Moderate hp and torque increases
• Replace taillights with those on the Chinese Honda Integra
• Unique shift knob

• remove the auto stop/start
• pano sunroof

I feel like they are leaving some things out to differentiate from the Integra- we will know soon enough

It’s definitely possible but they’re kind of doing what they did on the 10th gen though, i.e. leaving out options in the US market that seem conspicuously absent (at least when compared to the Canadian version). It doesn’t really feel any different than that.

Any differences can be chalked up to the supply chain issues. Prices are up and features are down… either or both are true no matter if you look at the US or Canada.

As for the Integra, well who doesn’t like a good conspiracy theory… I sure do… but I don’t think it’ll be hard to differentiate it from the Civic. It’s price will do that.. then they can just put in a pano sunroof or AWD. To the avg person I doubt it’ll seem like a Civic at all. Time will tell, I’ve very curious to see the interior, the exterior will likely be similar to TLX but hopefully it’ll be a cleaner design.

- Premium instrument display instead of el cheapo half digital
- Heated seats
- Rear pockets behind both bucket seats
- Free OTA updates for head unit

Instead of the k20c1, put in a 1.5 with a w1 or similar early-ish torque curve that also redlines to 7k ? less displacement and less power than the R but still a modern turbo engine you can rev out. Or does that defeat the purpose of an economy turbo?

Yes, the red around the honeycomb dash is tacky.

Plan is simple, Aegean Blue Si w/ HPD front spoilers, rear defuser, summer tires, splash guards, fog lights, black painted roof, tint, led turns and b/u lights, badge delete, lowered, Venom 43 wheels and the 23 CTR hood. From the pictures, looks like this should be a direct fit unlike the 10th gen CTR hood. The perfect Hard Parker! And I don't want to see another Si look like this prior to mine!

The 9th gen had this dash light and a temp guage? Or just the light?

 

[SDAlexander8]

the Canadian version offers all the right features. The features excluded on the US version and ar a higher price is completely unacceptable.

After listening to the recent videos posted of test drives the first thing I’d want to change is that piped in sound… oh my
