as far as sensing goes, I wish my hatch didn't have it. Just today I was going 40 through LA and suddenly "BRAKE" started flashing with no apparent reason and I was terrified it would hard brake on these terrible bumpy roads.


still waiting for the Si hatch like

no real reason to upgrade. however, for those of us who leased a '17, it's probably cheaper to lease the new '20 Si than it is to purchase the leased '17, especially if it's not your only car.

also, all the sensing stuff can be turned off. i've come to love it on my wife's '17 CR-V Touring. it really makes longer road trips so much more relaxing when the car nearly drives itself.

I ran a light flywheel on a Mustang I had in the past and everyday driving required a lot more effort. I think this ‘lil 1.5L is better for all that rotational inertia on a normal launch.
I have the CM Aluminum SMF and honestly it has been pretty easy to drive with. Yes you do need to give it a little bit more gas to get a smoother launch but nothing crazy. I love it compared to the stock
