Typical classic Honda in every aspect! I feel like I got a much more expensive car! It's peppy & nimble, sips fuel, has above average for the class interior materials/quality, loads of tech, and excellent visibility even with the sleek styling. One of the most standout features for me personally is the Brake Hold that holds the brake and relieves your foot. Much appreciated in heavy LA traffic! Also love Apple Carplay that allows me to bring up phone functions like navigation from my iPhone. No need to pay extra for factory or aftermarket units! The only con is the small trunk opening that has me being more careful loading bulky items. Rear seats do split and fold for more space!
Pros
- Value: Avoid the base model if you can. Not that it's bad, but the amount of upgraded tech & features in the EX is worth the $1k-$2k difference. Also has a lot of equipment you have to pay more or can't find in competing cars.
- Technology and Entertainment: Hard to the believe it has remote & push button start, sunroof, rearview & sideview camera, automatic headlights with LED DRL's, Apple Carplay & Android Auto, and Brake Hold that holds the brake for you! Big plus and foot reliever in stop & go LA traffic!
- Styling: Always getting looks on the street and compliments and questions from family, friends, & strangers. Quality, looks, driving dynamics, and tech make it feel like a more premium car not one that competes with Sentras and Corollas!
Cons
- Cargo Space: Small trunk opening makes it tricky to load bulky items.
