Well, the default "Comfort" mode in LCI has been remapped to have a sportier response, so it will be more aggressive on the throttle. I noticed this when I had a 2015 rental while my 2013 was being repaired. Supposedly the 8sp has been reprogrammed to have a neutral coast feature on the highway, but I've never seen it kick in.

Additionally, Auto Start/Stop is more aggressive on LCI. Kicks in almost instantly after a stop, and it doesn't seem to be impacted by stop and go traffic as much. Pre LCI, bumper to bumper traffic will cancel out ASS if you're moving only a few feet at a time. Also, switching to Sport mode (not DS) will deactive ASS on the LCI version.
