Hello, been following the site for awhile and wanted to share some pic's.
I'm just not 100% on the sport yet.

Any driving impressions?

So, I just created my account to ask this question because it's the first Sport I've seen test driven. First was this in the US or Canada because options are different. And also, was the interior gauge cluster the same as the LX but in red?

This one was an automatic.

Don't laugh..My mom really likes it more than me.
We drove an LX hatchback and a coupe {2016} also.
You can really notice the difference in the sport ride.
I guess it's because of the tire size.
When rounding a corner seems to grab much more.
Paddle shifters work great.
Salesman told me it was a 6 speed, but when using the paddles it went to 7?
It gets attention at stop lights.
When changing drivers in mall parking lot a car pulled up behind us.
Kind of scary, driver put down window and said " I want one, but a touring model".

You can clearly see by the pictures that it doesn't have a moonroof, lanewatch camera or smart key buttons on the door handle. It's American.

Good or bad difference? I like the big wheels but don't know if it's gonna make the ride much rougher than the smaller wheels.

Also no "turbo" decal under the spoiler.

I'm going in tomorrow to pre-order a Sport Sensing CVT, still deciding between white and metal.

How did the exhaust on the Sport sound?

Nice! I wonder how those 18" wheels will look on a white hatchback or sedan.

Sorry, I can't remember now on the cluster color.

To me, the sport seems to notice the bumps much more.
Funny, I know everyone likes them, but
the wheels are the one thing that kind of turned me off about the car.
Seeing and touching them is different then looking at pictures for sure.
Maybe it was the car color, I think I could like them with a red car.

The exhaust sound though, how was it?

Wow, that's awesome looking!

You guys are probably going to be disappointed with the exhaust.
I took it up to 5500 rpm's a few times, 2nd-3rd-4th.
I didn't notice hardy any difference between the Sport or LX.
I was ok with that, but expected it to sound alittle louder.
