I still haven't decided if the touring is worth the extra $3600 over the EX. I think I might actually wait for the hatchback, but as far as I can tell so far from the available information, the differences between the hatchback EX-L and hatchback touring sport is the same as comparing the EX vs Touring.
Any other thoughts to what made the call for you? I've never owned a car with leather seats, but having leather sounds like all negatives (requires more maintenance, gets really hot in the summer). The main thing that makes this tough for me is the addition tech/sensing (Wireless AA, wireless charging, Cross traffic, RAE breaking, low speed breaking, parking sensors). The 10" informatics system sounds good on paper, but the 7" has physical Phone/Radio/Media buttons which is better and makes up some of the difference in screen size.
- It appears that both EX and Touring have a sport/econ drive modes (despite the website only saying that the touring has sports mode), which I didn't realize until I saw an EX review. But they're in different places with the EX having its sports mode on the gear shifter. Is there a difference in quality of the sports or econ modes? Or is there any reason to prefer the touring version of this? Can I shift still into sports mode while the car is in motion in the EX? What is the reason for moving this?
- How is the built-in Navigation? I was assuming I'd just use Android Auto for all my navigation needs, so potentially the "Voice Activated Navigation with Realtime traffic" is a useless feature, but wanted to see if there is any advantages to the built-in one over just using Android Auto.
- One reviewer said the touring had heated rear seats? I think they just messed up? Or are talking about the Canadian model or something? I didn't see anything about that on Honda.com
