First off welcome to the forum... glad to have you join us.

Regarding whether to tune or not your trim level (LX) vs. Sport the 1.5 motor is the same. There may be difference in transmission's (CVT, Manual, 10 speed) and depending on what yours is could determine/limit maximum tq/hp. Best bet is to research KTuner and Hondata... see if they have recommended tuners near you and talk to them for suggestions.

If the 1.T sport had 6 speed in it for awhile , Not sure Honda allows 1.5T sport to have 6 speed any longer which is a Shame If Dropped ..
Wondering If anyone is going to do a Kit to Swap in 6 speed or 10X ?

Welcome Good Question : If U get Turned make sure Add Inter-cooler , Especially If Your "South" of Kentucky . . Illinois , Iowa , or Norther Calif.

I thought only the Sport 1.5T and Sport 2.0T trims were only offered with a manual? At least in US-spec. I only saw CVT for the LX on the build site.

I stand corrected. You are correct. Thank you for pointing that out. Never noticed they stopped making lx in manual in 10gen.
