I know what you mean. I went from driving an 8th gen civic and 2015 fit to the 2016 mt civic and comparably it did get a bit notchy in colder temperatures for some reason (especially up here in the north). I ended up getting the acuity shifter bushings and installed a short shifter with new...
If LED headlights come standard on Si only in Canada, that would be pretty crazy. Would be at least $1500 upgrade just in parts alone (including harness) and that would be around $2000+ in cdn$ converted. Plus the 29k cdn for our Si converted to USD would be around 21.5k USD. And yet still...

And this would be blacked out and shipped from the US and would certainly come in honda boxes
It definitely has larger vents that look like they run flush with the bottom of the headlight trim, I'm looking at my sedan through my window and the sedan has smaller differently designed vents. The hatch also appears to not have the grey lower headlight trim like the coupe and sedan, but in...
Canada has the DX model which the US doesn't have. It's like the LX without air conditioning and offered only in 6MT. So our LX here in Canada is considered a step up from the base model, where the LX is the base model in the US
I was also looking into the wire connections. Wouldn't the communication line only be for the auto on/off with the daytime sensor on the touring? Also, wouldn't the turn signals still work if they're able to signal the touring mirror leds?
