Finally traded 18 SI for the 19 type R.

How do you deal with the odometer/speedometer /milage difference?

Going to a smaller rim, but higher profile tire make the difference negligible. From 245/30R20 to 245/40R18 decreased diameter by 0.4%.

So theoretically, if the odometer says you've done 100,000 miles, you've actually done 99,960 miles. That 40 miles is negligible.

The handling so far is what's really impressed me.

Can you elaborate? Some on here have said that Si and CTR handling are similar.

I don't know about that

I've owned the Hatchback MT for a year, Si for 6 months, and the R for a year

Si feels no where close to the R in the handling department aside from the steering wheel lol.

I would say the Si feels like the R in comfort mode with Sport mode steering of the R

I noticed the R will have an oversteer tendency before understeer kicks in, if that makes sense, especially in R mode. Helps a lot in tight corners. You feel like you should understeer to hell but nope, the back end just comes out and aligns you perfectly lol

Just traded in my 18 SI on the 19 type R. What's the best upgrades to start with? The way I understand it the ECU needs unlocked before tuning so I guess that's on hold. Is the ktuner worth keeping from the SI?

What did you get for the Si if you don't mind me asking? I'm 500 miles into my break in with my 2020 sedan Si and already thinking of trading it in for a 2020 CTR.

Also, what made you want to upgrade?

I'm not your dad, but if you go through with this you are going to take a bath.

Agreed, but I'm not going to do it now, maybe end of year 2020.

I got 19,500 on my trade at 10 months of ownership and 5k miles. And the 1.5 seemed to lack the reliability I wanted out of a Honda in my opinion. I didn't drive an R before my purchase but I don't regret it. But so far I've had the Si and the R to the same speeds and the R is planted and feels more secure at 160mph. Better daily driver then the coupe I can actually load a 75 inch tv in this hatch. Lol

Probably the best time if you want the updated model. Or what's left over from this year for a better price.

That's what I'm noticing now, I came froma 06' GTI to the Si and the absence of the hatch is noticeable. It's funny how the CTR in this respect is the more practical of the two.
