The thing is you can't even have that much fun if you have winter tires in the FWD. It's mostly like driving a regular civic in snow since there's not great traction to be able to full send in a corner. The Subaru is definitely funner in winter but you just miss summer driving, windows down music blasting on a mountain road *sigh*.
You may have.. parts guy at Heritage? RWC rims, I actually don't mind the way they look after I installed them. Also had a block heater installed and tucked up by the drivers headlight under the hood. Even the Honda install guide said they have to remove the bumper and cut a hole in the grille for the cord plug.... obviously there was no f'ing way that was going to happen!! Mike and his guys did a great job.
I thought all canadian cars came with a block heater? I never asked cause I have heated parking, I just assumed.You may have.. parts guy at Heritage?

I was under that same assumption, but on the R it is a dealer added option. They committed to installing one before they realized by the honda book it is a 7 hour install!! but that's mostly to remove and modify the front bumper which they did not do. Just tucked it under the hood so it was clean.
I live in Ontario and is considering to install a block heater for my 19 si...Just want to ask what are the benefits of this and how does it work? Sorry I'm a noob at this :>
Yeah it's the dumbest thing ever, my block heater was already installed when i bought my CTR in August. I was pissed at the dealer until they proved to me that is what they are told to do.
The 2020 grill and vents might be a thing i add as well, looks nice. I'd be so pissed if i found the dealer cut into my grille (though now i need to go check since i never asked about the heater...). I basically told them to take delivery of the car and don't touch anything or "wash" it.
I was livid to be honest, thankfully I love this car so much so it has subsided since then. I don't like the idea of cutting but in not a huge deal at the end of the day, you have to be looking dead on from a crouch to see it, and they only cut enough of the honey comb to get the heater cord through. I had no choice because I actually picked this one up because the dealer had got in for someone else that had backed out on their deposit so that PDI was all done already. I was actually supposed to buy from my local dealer but they messed and couldn't get be the CW they promised so I drove like 250 kms to get my car. Got a cheaper deal in the long run and very happy with the car.
