we get the Nav, and you get Daytime Running Lights. Not exactly a fair trade

No.... WE (US) get the daytime running lights. Canadians get the heated outside mirrors.

Yes,

we do get the heated mirrors. But, to be fair, all of Canada pretty much freezes over during winter time, so, this is more a requirement then an "option"

There are a few "canadian" only things in the Civic Hybrid:

- The heated mirrors
- Low windshield washer fluid indicator (why Canada only?!?!? Is this true?)
- A french instruction manual

Cheers,
Stephane.

If you live down South, the one indispensable option is the full front end cover. It keeps that part of the car free of bug gunk. (It also protects against gravel dings, so I'd actually recommend it for everyone.)

are you talking about an invisible "skin" over the front of the car (that still gets bug gunk on it anyway) or the "bra" (which has the nasty habit of dry-sanding the paint off your car, when grit gets between the bra and the painted surface?
