We (Canadians) also had heated mirrors, a low washer fluid light, no side air bags available, daytime running lights, the Milano Red option (which I have), and the SiR badging. I am not sure of the pricing down there, but at the end I was able to purchase the car for the equivilent of $14,000 USD...

Are you wondering about the differences between the
Canadian and U.S. Si's? As others have mentioned, the
differences are few (it is called the SiR, I believe, up north).

If you want the differences on the Euro/Japanese Civic Type
R and the U.S./Canadian Si, look at this SportsCompactCar write up on the Type R. (http://www.sportcompactcarweb.com/roadtests/0205scc_typer/) .

something strange between the canadian and Us EP's is the bracing that goes in the middle of the vehicle that spans the left and right side along the floor pan, called a middle gusset. The Canadian and US models have different middle support gussets. Can't imagine why or which is better but it is listed in the shop manual like that. Found that to be very odd.
