I think the thing to keep in mind is the "standard" setting in the Si should be sportier than the base Civic. It's got a completely different suspension so the base mode should be noticeably sportier.I think it's a very smart move on Honda's part. Most of the time, most Si owners will be driving from point A to point B on public roadways with other traffic in a safe and legal manner. Occasionally, some of them will want to enjoy the curvy backroads or engage in some friendly competition in a sanctioned area. A few will drive like idiots everywhere they go trying to race every car they pull up beside at a traffic light. For the majority, it's nice to have a comfortable setting for relaxed, easy driving and a less comfortable setting for sharper handling during spirited or competitive driving.
I do agree that it should be a persistent setting that doesn't default one way or another each time the car is shut off - just like ECON mode.
