Honda prides itself on its affordable yet sporty range of cars, especially those in the Civic family. With the new 11th-generation car on the streets and a new Acura Integra on the way, there has never been a better time to be a Honda fan. The best news is that the 2022 Civic Si is really affordable, and even in its range-topping configuration, the Si still represents a good deal. We Think the 2022 Honda Civic Si is a great all-round package, but after watching this video posted by HondaPro Jason, we can't help but feel a bit cheated by the way the North American arm does business.

The video compares the differences between the Canadian and American versions of the 2022 Civic Si, and American Si owners be warned: you're about to get pissed off. The exterior of the Canadian car adds a set of fog lights, front and rear parking sensors, integrated turn signals, LED inside mirrors, but misses out on the optional summer sport tires offered on American cars (a $200 option). The interior of the Canadian Civic Si is, you guessed it, also more impressive. The Canadian car scores a standard 10.2-inch TFT digital instrument cluster with an integrated shift light, and when in individual driving mode, you get the option to change the color of the display. The front and rear seats are heated in the Canadian car, as is the steering wheel, and there's dual automatic climate control and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. Wireless charging is also standard.

So with all those extra standard features, the Canadian Civic Si should cost a significant amount more than the American version, right? The Civic Si starts at $27,300 in the US, and the Canadian car, adjusted to the US Dollar, costs only $26,180. This means US customers are getting screwed at both ends: not only are we paying more, but we're getting fewer features. At least the turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine makes the same 200 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque in both cars, but that's little comfort for those who are paying extra for certain options. Care to explain, Honda?
