3) 3.70 differential ratio.
4) Ventilated rear brake disks.
5) Auto headlight turn-on on VL model.
6) Different climate control system to US model.
7) Electric folding wing mirrors
8) "Power Mode" button
9) Clear turn signals with orange repeaters behind front wheel arches
10) Lights are wired differently
11) Automatic door locking
12) Infrared remote control key for drivers door
13) JDM spoiler
14) Distress flare
15) "Boxer" throttle body cover.
16) Alcyone hood ornament and rear light panel
17) 12 disc CD changer on VL model. (sometimes with optional steering wheel controls)
18) Optional air purifer on some models.

and probably a whole load of other things I can't remember at present.

So other than some drive train differences our cars don't suffer from USRetarded Tune Engines. I wouldn't mind having the vented rear brakes. The tourque split and drivetrain can be taken out with a 6MT swap (35/65 split)
