I'll take a barebones 2900 lb Si over my almost 3100 lb sport touring any day of the week

Also no compact spare...good luck if you get a flat at 2AM

Triple A works wonders.

I'm interested to see if the facelift of the 11th Gen Si gets all the goodies from the Canadian model. The US model pales in comparison to the Canadian one.

The US Si, equipment-wise, is based on the Sport. In Canada, it's roughly based on the Touring.

Si hatch would have been the best option if it was offered

Si is made at HCM1, Hatch at HMIN...

The US Si, equipment-wise, is based on the Sport. In Canada, it's roughly based on the Touring.

It's actually closer to the EX (1.5T, Moonroof, BSW) with the infotainment and stereo out of the Touring minus the heated seats and dual zone A/C.

Probably will get some or all of it, but at a cost of $2-3000 more

If it got all of the CA equipment it'd be a good $5k more expensive than the current car. In Canada the SI sits above the Touring in terms of Pricing.

I always thought the Si must have higher boost but many people said otherwise . Good info

it did in the 10th gen....the site states 20.3 psi, but real world was 17-18 vs the 16.5 claimed for non Si but real world 13-14 psi

Touring has Heated Seats, wireless charger, leather, power front seats, USB charger in the rear, spare tire and fog lights and some other lil goodies. Also the CVT is heavier than the manual. So there’s your added weight.

The Sport Touring also has a sunroof. A manual is available. I just wish it had the LSD from the Si.

Just incase people were still wondering how much weight the extra features bring to the Si:


USA Si - 2906 lbs
USA Touring - 3077 lbs

CAN Si - 2998 lbs
CAN Touring - 3022 lbs

Not sure what the difference in features is between the USA/CAN Touring but apparently its 50 lbs worth (Note: All the Canadian models seem to come with a spare tire)

Honda says the Si is 2952 lbs, says it right in the 2021 news release.

Why's this thread say it's 2906 lbs?

On page one... a scene grab from Honda says the curb weight is 2906.

I'm currently looking to purchase either a new 2026 Si, or '26 Touring Hybrid. Having a hard time deciding between the two because of the lack of comfort features on the '26 Si, and wondering if the 200hp and 232tq ratings on the Touring Hybrid were accurate and made it actually feel as or close to as sporty as the Si. My '19 Si was killed by a drunk driver in the middle of January and I'm still recovering from a broken right foot from that. I still can't drive yet, so I haven't driven either of them yet. Considering how "loaded" my '19 Si was and the 2020 was even more well equipped I was shocked to see how dirty they did the 11th Gen Si. Anyway, The Touring Hybrid seems to only be missing a manual transmission, which is damned near mandatory in a sports car in my opinion. While I'm not a fan of automatics, I've been told that paddle shifters really are the way to go, I'm still skeptical. Regardless, I plan to mod the car, whichever one I get, with a minimum of a tune, cold air intake, intercooler, exhaust, and most likely a down pipe and front pipe, and possibly a turbo. The one Si I've seen appears to be even easier to work on than my '19 Si was. I was hoping the Touring Hybrid was as well, but with it being the 2.0 and a hybrid, I wasn't sure if it would be crammed in there more. Also, with it not being a turbo from the factory I was wondering how difficult and expensive it would be to add a turbo if/when I decide to do that in the future. So if anyone has any input for me on the US models since the mid gen refresh, I'd love to hear it. Really very stuck on which way to go here. Thanks in advance for all the help.

Once you truly learn how to use the paddle shifters they can be very fun. I have a '24 Touring sedan. Love it. Don't get me wrong, manuals are sweet. I might have actually bought the Si, but where I live I would have been doing a lot of 1,2,3,2 1. from light to light. Also, think about why race cars use paddles. They are faster and you can keep both hands on the wheel

Sequential shifting into first! Cardinal sin, no need for that, 2nd is plenty unless you're stopped

That's my point. Lot's of red lights where I live I could hit 3-4 just going 3 miles.
