these are gonna be the same as the Si wheels? Cause the spy shots of the Si coupe have wheels that look slightly lighter in chrome-ish color or bright silver colorHere I took a closer picture of the wheels

P.S. Apple CarPlay works really well...you don't really need the NAVI but it was there.I bought an Aegean Blue Hatchback EX-L w/Navi a few weeks ago. I really enjoy the driving experience. My 2013 Accord trade-in (<40k miles) was worth half the value of the Civic all-in! I even got an extra year's (12k miles) warranty. Very pleased.
Mine is one of them! I bop between Princeton, NJ & Yardley, PA.seems like a bunch of them popping up in PA. i'm pretty close to PA in NJ, so hopefully should be getting mine soon.
nice, i picked mine up in Lebanon, PA on tuesday. Now it lives in NJ between Hunterdon and Bergen CountiesMine is one of them! I bop between Princeton, NJ & Yardley, PA.
Looks really wicked! The car I bought had just come off the truck & still had the wrapping paper on it!Just unloaded off the truck at the dealership I work at. First one I've seen
And couple pics from Toyman70
It's the wheels.I'm not sure if Honda has ever officially explained the drop in mpg for the Sport and Sport Touring hatch trims.
We can only speculate, but not know for sure what factors are significant. Im guessing it has something to do with the wheels (spoke design, maybe wider width, larger diameter, heavier weight). Dont know if the cvt is diff from non Sport trims and somehow relevant. I doubt the exhaust is anything more than cosmetic
That's right, in europe we have the Adaptive Dampers:On the European and Canadian ST there's buttons to adjust the suspension and auto stop/start and other features that arent included with the stateside civics. Just another way Honda screwed us out of a phenomenal car.
They look amazing. I was just shocked to see so much of a difference.It's the aero. The hatch drops the (highway) mpg about 7% (42 to 39), .. then the big open spoke 18" wheels drop it about another 8% (39 to 36) from there.
I think the "base" sport hatchback 6mt probably should have a 36 mpg highway rating as well, due to the wheels, but the monroney's aren't divided up that way. **Edit-- I guess the Sport IS rated at 36 mpg highway as well**
/they look good, though

I purchased:also i just noticed that it has black wheels, which usually costs extra. it doesn't appear to on the sticker and it's not reflected in the final price. also, the honda website doesn't have an option for the black wheels on the ST. I was hoping to get the Polished Metal with black wheels, but didn't want to pay another $1000+ for them.
I also have a Sport Touring. Got super super minor curb rash on a rim on day 2 (no one can see it but it killed me) so I ran the numbers on getting a new rim, it's much "cheaper" than you are quoting but still rough... $412 plus labor straight from a dealer. I saw you can get them for $300 ($250 plus core charge of $50) from several online OEM parts dealers so I'm guessing if you get them yourselves and have them mounted maybe $350?I purchased:
1) 2017 Civic Hatchback Sport Touring (Two tone White & Black).
I've done some digging. the rims are $1100 EACH. I purchased a Dealership warranty for 5 years No deductibles unlimited mileage covers:
Rims, Tires ,Windshield. paint chip repairs, Key fob replacement. Got a really great deal.
2) 2017 Civic Hatchback EX Black
I don't have buttons to adjust and I have a sport touring 6mtAre you sure the adjust suspension buttons are on the Canadian ST?...
That's BS on the wheels, I saw zero change switching from my 18s to 16" winter wheels. Mileage on these turbos varies so much day to day based on temperatures, gas etc, that it's ridiculous to make such a claim about the wheels. My hatch gets 38-39 mpg on winter formulation, 40-41 in the summer, so the 39 highway mpg rating seems about right. And that's driving at 75 mph, people posting big numbers are driving 55 mph.It's the aero. The hatch drops the (highway) mpg about 7% (42 to 39), .. then the big open spoke 18" wheels drop it about another 8% (39 to 36) from there.

I'm living with my tiny scuff that I put a bit of black paint on until I inevitably really screw it up LOL.
PS: maybe your quote of $1100 was for the set of 4?
