I'm still pondering this. After reading a few posts, I was ready to go get the 2020 Si. I still am, but a few days cooling one's jets is not a bad thing, particularly with a major purchase. I've also been checking what my insurance rates would be on the 2020 Si, which has had me looking into a 2017 Si Sedan and a 2017 Sport Hatchback with a CVT (believe it or not, an $800/yr diff between the 2020 and 2017...I guess the 2020 rates would drop as time progresses).
The truth is that I've been hesitant to go with a CVT based on what I've heard, but decided to check them out. What are the opinions here? Both The CVT Hatchbacks and the sedan EX-Ts come with CVT, but also the same 1.5T Dream Earth engine. Do CVTs effect performance to the degree that they should be avoided? There's a 2018 EX-T I could probably snag for $18,500-$19,000. I'm still salivating over the Si, though.
ANother question regarding the Si...is comforatble for road trips...possibly one or two days on the road?
Opinions?
