Not sure how a pre-LCI with DHP and C+ coded compares to an Alpina XB7 in C+. There was a thread about that some time ago but no conclusive results, mostly just people doing baseless speculation. My guess is that there would be barely any difference.

By far the biggest surprise to me after getting this car (coming from a Civic myself & a family that drives Camrys/Rav4s) is how incredibly well it handles unpaved/gravel roads. It's insane. I've also briefly gone over the same roads in a friend's ~10 year old pickup truck and the X7 is on a completely different level.
I use c+ often when at my place in VT, on a dirt road and makes a difference
