its true the si is worlds better than the ext or the sport. and the price difference is so minimal i dont k ow why anyone would go withthem over the si..I have owned a 2016 ext sedan and currently own a 2018 coupe. My differentiators,
In my ext when on a roundabout, the tires would squeal and I would fight the car for grip at 28 mph.
In my SI when on a roundabout, the tires do not squeal until I hit like 48 mph and the car has enough grip to do it easily till I am dizzy ha.
In my ext I drove it everywhere and it was my favorite car ever.
In my SI I drive it everywhere and people take pictures and give me thumbs up and stop me to talk about it and it is now my most favorite car ever.
Anyways. The grip and suspension is insanely better on every level. The pull in normal driving situations is so much better. If you need to go from 60 to 90 quickly or from 90 to 60 instantly it's much much better than the ext.
I loved my ext, but I fuckin adore my SI lol. It has improved my two hours a day driving into a stress reliever rather than stress causing experience.
Only drawback is the cloth seats. I really miss my leather setup in my sedan. Stitching and highlights feel a little teenageish for my tastes. They are apparently made out of really fine sandpaper, keeping clean sucks if you have dry skin.
Even with kids the backseat is basically same size as sedan, just has less headroom is all. Trunk can still hold the teams baseball gear. Miss having a spare though.
To me no brainer. Gotta go SI, the price differential is so low between other trim models, it's awesome as hell and still an amazing financial decision (well as much as it can be), so much bang for buck.
Only reason I can see anyone picking a Sport over an Si is the hatch. As for the EX-T it blows my mind as both cars are on two different levels, unless one can't drive a stick or chooses not to, the Si is the next best thing with the Civic moniker outside the Type R.its true the si is worlds better than the ext or the sport. and the price difference is so minimal i dont k ow why anyone would go withthem over the si..
do any of your. shifts feel notchy going into gears with yoour si?Only reason I can see anyone picking a Sport over an Si is the hatch.

Very rarely, if its warmed up almost never. Going on 1 year and 11,500 miles.do any of your. shifts feel notchy going into gears with yoour si?
Yep. Gotten used to it by now though, so much so that it'd be weird driving a car with a clutch that engages perfectly in the middle.does your clutch grab almost near the top of the pedal travel?
its .really awkward for me still trying to shift with the garb point all the way at the top, eben after 5 months. it. make smooth shifting difficult a lot of tthe time.Yep.

I think it’s easy to be super smooth in comfort mode. Sport takes more effort for me for whatever reasonits .really awkward for me still trying to shift with the garb point all the way at the top, eben after 5 months. it. make smooth shifting difficult a lot of tthe time.
Any issues with the stock clutch holding that much boost in the LX and then the TSP tune in the Si?It's a pretty big difference
I had an LX Hatch 6spd pushing 24psi with some A/S 3+ tires for a year and a half.
Drove that car like I stole it everyday
I own a Si now with TSP Stage 1 and some PS4 tires, 600km in.
Si is on a completely different level in terms of handling, power, interior, & features.
Definitely worth the few grand over the non si unless you don't want to drive stick.
My LX clutch was fine until I did a couple of launches lol. Then it started slipping every so often.Any issues with the stock clutch holding that much boost in the LX and then the TSP tune in the Si?
