Because of the pandemic, I have been working from home for ~2 years. So, I have put only 40k miles in my 2018 SI, Canadian model.
My condenser has been replaced twice under warranty:
1. Sept-2018 11.5k miles
2. Jun-2021 35k miles
Honda Canada told me that Honda has extended the warranty to 10 years. Not sure if this covers only the condenser or other AC components.

I’m about to hit 77,777 miles later tonight! Have only done oil changes every 10k until I tuned at 55k now every 5-6k miles. Spark plugs recently. Still on original rotors/pads but have upgrades waiting for winter to be over and even the OEM shit ass tires lol I guess I don’t drive her that hard

Do the '19-'20 Si's suffer from the same A/C issues or were they updated/fixed?

83K here on mine, picked up August '17.

Similar experience as most. Battery and AC seem to be the most common issues. Honda switched over to R34A refrigerant starting with the 10th Gen, which required them to update specs on the entire AC system. My AC began showing performance issues at 32K. Honda replaced the evap core and condenser at 54K. I paid $200 out of pocket - Honda covered the rest (~$2K).

Other than those, no real big issues. Some flaking of the rubber on the lower window trim. Replaced a sidemarker lamp. A couple ruptured tires. Prematurely worn suspension bushings (common issue with Honda, leading to lots of excessive NVH). And some fading on the front seats/door trim.

Maintenance has been limited to fluid/filter changes and the front brakes. Only mods are leather trim inserts, K-Tuner V2, and Morimoto HID system.

Still loving the drive. Averaging 26-34 MPGs most days.
