2020 Civic Si Coupe. 2000 Honda Prelude (donated to charity).

The Si has the rt hand camera which is better than blind spot monitoring. I never once used my cruise control. So i believe when people say its not anything they will miss.
Camera is better even at night and in bad weather like heaving rain or snow?

I agree with you on the acc. They (non-honda systems. I have no experience with Honda Sensing) are pretty scary in stop and go or slow moving traffic. Sometimes it'll slow to a stop (or almost a complete stop) then almost gunning the engine when the car in front moves away and then abruptly brake again when getting too close. It also does this sometimes when going around a curve.

yes I had that happen when going around a curve, it would start to engage. Regarding the camera versus the blindspot monitoring. I keep my side mirrors pushed out anyway to maximize my view. I do not duplicate with my side mirrors what I already see with my rear view mirror, so the blindspots are mostly covered. I do find the camera better as the blindspot monitor in my toyota was not foolproof. It also registered false positives and/or did not register all vehicles everytime. Nothing is foolproof under every situation, but so far I like having the camera versus a little light or beeper going off for blindspot and I always look back anyway regardless of what my car has to assist.

ps-the nightvision on rearview and sideview cameras I think are pretty good. In the rain I will have to test out further.

Sensing is fully defeatble no?
Can't all the Honda Sensing stuff be turned off?
Yes, although CMBS turns back on each time the engine is started. All the other functions either stay off when turned off (RDM) or must be manually turned on each time the engine is started if you want to use them (ACC and LKAS).

Yeah, with this information I fail to see how this suite is taking anything away from the driving experience. It's all optional to use and I'd rather have the option of using it versus not having it at all.

Definitely the final drive for starters. But it's possible the EPA revised their fuel economy estimates. I've seen revised numbers on other trims that haven't seen any changes to weight or wheel diameter/width.
The decreased fuel economy rating could also be due to changes aimed at addressing the "fuel dilution" issue that has been known to occur with the 1.5T engine in addition to the shorter gearing.

Does anybody know how realistic it might be to retrofit the sound enhancer to 17-19 Si's? I don't know what is involved mechanically.
Active Sound Control is done electronically using the existing amplifier and speakers with the addition of an ASC module. It generates engine sounds electronically - it does not "pipe them in" from the engine.

Doesn't the Accord also play engine noise through the speakers? I drove one last year and thought I could hearing the engine note playing.

I know its on the TLX.
Yes - it was very noticeable on my 2018 Accord in Sport mode.

I wonder how the ACC with low speed follow works on a 6MT?
Models with the manual transmission don't have the Low Speed Follow function.

Cars.com has zero listed.
Cargurus.com has zero listed.
Autotrader.com has 16 listed in the US and most, if not all, are in transit because there are no photos. There are also less than 500 2019's listed.

Civic Si's are rare at the moment and will probably continue to be for several weeks.

I know you're right, which makes it really annoying that the Civic Si specs (an MT only model) says that it does have low speed follow.
