He's just making the point the Sport Touring is a much better "value" than the stripped-down US version of the Si.
Looks like I’m not giving up my 2017 si coupe anytime soon despite its lemonish issues. The tourings in the 10th gen were terrible value. 2-3k extra for leather and navigation. Looks like Honda realized that and decided to gut the si in a bad way so that can probably charge 30-34k for the integra. I can’t believe how it cost 3k more and it no longer has heated seats, dual climate, electric dampeners, heated mirrors and perhaps more.
ST = Sport Touring
Because the 10th gen SI really was such a good value for price/performance/features.
The new Si does have heated mirrors and two USB ports. Honda has never shafted US buyers.
Jokes aside I do miss having heated mirrors.
Yeah, the '17-'19 CTR never had heated mirrors but Honda added them in '20-'21:
Interesting! I had no idea lol. I keep rags in my car for the sole purpose of wiping the mirrors :-|.
I also own the 2017 Si Coupe and was all set to get the new 2022 Si. My Honda dealer is offering me a very high trade in value (only has 11k miles on it) but the more I think about it; I'm just not sure anymore. Why couldn't Honda include the same perks of the Canadian Si for the US Si? That just doesn't make sense to me at all. (no heated seats?). Then I started checking out the manual 2022 Honda Sport Touring Hatchback (available in only 3 colors if you get the manual? what?). Plus it's $3k more than the Si (with many dealers marking up the price). I just don't understand Honda's choices. Why not offer the Si as a Hatchback and why not offer all the options that the Canadian version gets?
Hey Steve: Was just wondering if you got the manual or CVT version of your Honda? How do you like it so far? Jasen
