Hello everyone,,

I just test drove both cars today and found the Sport version to have noticeably more acceleration. It felt a lot more fun to drive https://100001.onl/ https://1921681254.mx/ .

Honda's website gives the sport version 180 Hp, and the EX model 174 hp. It credits the difference to a dual-port exhaust system. However, I'm surprised I was able to feel the difference at all when it's only a 6 hp gain.

Hoping maybe as Honda Civics enthusiasts you guys might be able to help shine some light on why.

Eco mode makes a big difference, other than that there's not really a difference between the two engines.

My ex is definitely faster after i put the stage 2 starter base map ,the 21 psi tune is the best and really woke the car up.i only got the ktuner cause the car fely sluggish with the cvt but now my ex getts up like no other.The only thing is i wish my ex was a manual cause i really don't care for the cvt.

my guess is the Sport had 93 octane and the EX had 87. That makes a significant difference in the Sport. Makes it feel more alive.
