Thanks so much for posting this - this is a great channel, he does the best job of simulating how I would actually drive the car if given the chance.

My dealer has been searching for a 6MT Hatch Sport with black interior since last week...the wait is killing me!

not sure how far it is from you but check continental Honda in La Grange Illinois as of late last week they had a blue sport hatch with black interior.

I definitely do notice rev hang. Wondering if an ecu flash would resolve it.

My dealer contacted me yesterday and said a Sonic Grey 6MT would arrive for me on Wednesday :headbang:

I agree, this video does a great job showing us the rev hang - kinda a bummer but I'll live with it. I was absolutely blown away by the performance of the CVT and I would happily drive it if the manual was not offered. Compared to others I've driven recently (Subaru, Mazda's non-CVT that sounded like a CVT...) the Honda CVT was the best. But after driving a '71 MGB GT all summer I refuse to give up my manual.

This has been one of my favorite channels for years! I didn't see the video here, but I finally understood what @planedoc was talking about (LX doesn't do this). Makes me wonder about the rev hang in the coming Si because it's so pronounced.
