I have nothing bad to say about mine. Lots of grip in the Summer, got me through a snowstorm in the Winter, way better than stock overall. Although I thought they stopped making them after the A/S 4 came out.
Maybe in a few years. Given that the current Integra models will all be slower than the 10th gen Si, it's not exactly a performance upgrade, but if it proves to be quiet and comfortable, I wouldn't mind having one as the "practical" car in my future 2-car garage.
Just curious, when it starts blowing hot air for you, does turning it all the way down to "Lo" turn it cold again? Or does it blow hot air even at the "Lo" setting?
Perhaps you are wondering why it suddenly dropped a whole 10%? If so, that's simply because it only decreases in increments of 10% (at least until it gets below ~30%, I believe)
Imagine being a dealer and you have a 2020 Si and a 2022 Si on the lot you are showing to customers. Which one will be easier to sell (newness aside): the one with heated seats, fog lights, and a higher advertised HP number? Or the one that is "more stiff and rigid"?
Regardless, the prices are...
I think the Canadian Si seems very appealing, but as a US-buyer, I can't imagine purchasing the new generation of a car that's been de-contented so significantly compared to mine (no heated seats, no dual-zone climate, no fog lights, only half-digital dash, no adaptive dampers, lower advertised...
If more power can easily be achieved through a simple tune, why didn't Honda simply "tune" 10 more horsepower in the 11th gen? Surely that would not have drastically increased emissions or price. The optics of releasing a new car with a very similar power-plant as before but with a lower HP...
At least for the 10th gen Si, Honda didn't decrease power and increase weight relative to the 9th gen. There is a difference between moving forward in ways people may dislike, and actually moving backwards :crazy:
