Default What exactly are the differences between an ep3 si, and an ep3 siR

Its on my mind, and i live next to the canadian border, should I go up north a few hours and buy one up there? I dont see why not. Not to mention the fact that it would be unique but what are the major differences? Also isnt the golden color on this gen called "Euro Gold"?

The Canadian SiR is no different from the US Si except that the speedo is in km/h, various warning labels are labeled in English and French, the mirrors are heated, and the fact that it is branded SiR. The reason it is SiR instead of Si is that in Canada the Si is the equivalent of our EX. Euro Yellow was an exclusive 2002 color and was discontinued in favor of Vivid Blue Pearl (a good choice IMO). It is definitely a 'love it' or 'hate it' color.

Should be nothing. Might come without A/C?? The Canada/US cars were built to the same specs. The different dash is in the EDM Type R (where the climate control ***** are above the radio versus beside).
