@@williamsaad6833 I drive a 17 Canadian Si and it fascinates me how different the Canadian version is this generation. The differences are actually summed up in that the US model is based on an Ex-T, where the Canadian Si was a touring model with the safety sensors removed. The actual reasoning iirc was that civics are significantly more popular in canada and they have to add in a little more value to keep it relevant up here. also fun fact, Canadian civics in general have a 2x larger windshield washer tank and is placed on the driver side. Incredibly underrated feature that I can dump over a gallon of washer fluid once the low indicator shows up (which apparently is also a Canadian thing).

As someone who autocrosses my 2019 SI. I would've rather wanted to see a slightly longer gearing. In autocrossing I find myself shifting to 3rd gear often. Second gear tops out at 57mph. There is a lot more time to be gained by saving the second to third gear shift. Could probably get under 6 seconds to 60mph.

Does the change in the final drive ratio help the car get to 60mph before you have to shift to 3rd gear? That was the issue in the MY2016-2019, the non-SI could hit 60mph b4 3rd whereas the SI would need 2-shifts to hi 60 around the same time.

I'm noticing on Honda's website that it's not an option you can select any longer on the 2020 models.
