I was actually complaining about EPS being used *anywhere* when not quite "ready for prime time". That said, if by "tuning" EPS they can make it feel & behave (e.g. heavy, self-centring) like HPS, then why aren't they doing it? ...unless these "hard core enthusiasts" don't care if they have...

If the Auto Stop/Start can be turned off by the driver (once & for good by the driver, vs. every time you start the car), then I would have no issue with it. As for "OMG new tech replacing old" - as soon as it can be shown that the new tech is not significantly inferior, then sure, bring it...

How is it a bad thing? 2 obvious ways (1) Electric power steering instead of hydraulic - ruining driving experience almost everywhere, today! (2) Automatic Stop/Start - Will make stop and go driving near unbearable - coming soon to every car, near future!

so what does rolledansx say about the Si?

That would be great! ...could you ask your friend if he knows when Honda will be formally announcing the Si Availability date? .....thx!

Looks like the whole car should be sitting a good 5" lower at the back, so that the bottom of the rear bumper/top of diffuser would sit right on top of where the dual exhaust starts!! ...or maybe the bumper should be wider ...in any case, the large diffuser space above the exhaust tips looks...

Are you able to turn all Sensing functions off once and they stay off, or do you have to turn them off every time that you start the car?... Or do some of them stay off but some reset themselves to on when you start the car? Thanks

The trim levels for Canada are usually a little different than US trim levels. Does anyone know when those will be published? ....Also Redline reviews stated that Si "will come in 2017", so that seems to confirm what was reported on this blog a few weeks ago. ...i guess there`s still no...

Yeah it's high time Honda stopped bundling everything and started offering customers some real choice. I would never buy a car without a sunroof or stick. I could not care less about paddle shifters and would only buy a car with Sensing if I can turn it all off. I think I might like the black...

Yeah the orange reflectors are a huge pet peeve for me too, and I was really disappointed when the manufacturers in recent years started putting them back in hard to replace places after what had been a trend to make them easier to replace. hopefully these ones will be cheap and easy to replace...

You are correct in noting that start/stop will take effect based on a small set of criteria beyond simply having stopped, and that will make it that little bit less predictable and that much more annoying! (understatement)

What you have characterized as "a little strange" I call undriveable. ...but you understand perfectly what I mean when I talk about the driving experience, so appreciate your reply! :-)

You might be overlooking something important, and that is the quality of the driving experience. You may be assuming that today's driving experience is better in every way but I can assure you it's not. I for one can not stand the Honda Sensing nonsense and if I'm unable to turn it off I...

If the other thread saying that the Si will not be on dealer lots in 2016 is correct, and the forum Administrator sounds quite sure of it, then where would 2.0T engines being produced starting Mar 2016 be headed? ..surely they wouldn't start producing an engine a year ahead of when the car will...

Thanks for the info!.. Honda is really screwing some of us with this after all indications having been that the SI should be out sometime in 1h 2016. This forces me to look at a 12 to 15 month used car lease just to get me to Si availability. Since when does the Si need a full year after the...

I'm in a similar boat waiting for the Si, except I'm driving a 98 prelude (albeit only 203K km on it) that for the last couple of years has needed a few hundred dollars of repairs every 6 months or so. My approach is to only fix what breaks and is also needed for safe operation of the vehicle -...

Nicely done! Did you tell them you would be buying by a certain date, for example at the end of the month, or did you just ask for their best price without giving them much information beyond which model and options you wanted? Thanks for your help!

Thank you! Also what about the fit? I know Digital is supposed to imply a very good fit but do they stay nicely in place without sliding around just like the Honda ones. In my Prelude there's a ?grommet? (Front only) and the mat hooks right onto it so it doesn't move.

Does anyone here know whether the WeatherTech Floor Mats are better than the Honda floor mats? I asked the question somewhere else in this forum a while back but didn't get a clear answer. Thanks!

When you go to a larger rim, you also go with a tire whose sidewall is shorter (i.e. lower profile tire). The goal is for the increase in the rim radius to be exactly matched by the decrease in the height of the tire sidewall, so that overall wheel size (rim + tire) remains the same. Usually...
