2024 Honda Civic Sport vs. Ex
Comparison between 2024 Honda Civic Sport and EX
1. Overview
Civic fans always long to take a closer look and compare the different Civic models. It has been a tradition since the early '70s initiated by the Civic's popularity. We also can see it clearly between 2 recent models, the 2004 Civic EX and the newly launched Civic Si. These 2 models represent the special models for the general 8th gen. Civic Lines. Though 2024 Sport is considered to be the direct successor for 2019 EX (due to its simplicity), I would still compare it with the 2024 EX just to see the comparison and the difference between the top and the simple models. Step aside from the Civic Type R, the Si and the hatchbacks, now let's take a closer look between the regular ones. 2024 Civic EX and the prior model have a pretty much elegant and sharp lines. Civic EX now comes with a standard 16-inch aluminum-alloy wheel and the all-LED headlight with an auto on/off feature. This time, Honda embedded the Power Moonroof as a standard feature on the EX and deleted the roof rails. However, the difference between the EX and the Sport models is no longer subtle. The Civic Sport has a more dynamic and athletic stance with its piano black lower side trims, turned (still) 18-inch wheel in comparison to the 17-inch on the EX, as well as a center exhaust. Unfortunately, the wheel design is really subjective to every customer, so the difference between the wheel size might feel less substantial to some customers. Step aside the color, the rear end of the sport models features a matching power moonroof to the one on the 2019 and newer EX. One might say that the sport models now "is what the EX used to be".
1.1. Exterior Design
Tailoring the Type R to the normal Civic Hatchback, the Sport debuts with an all-new aggressive front and rear styling, with no direct comparison to another Civic version. At the front, the lower bumper has a body-colored crossbar dividing the high gloss upper and lower pieces, with foglight inserts around the external edges. The grille has been given a flat black treatment with the Honda emblem relocated to the hood upfront of the previous location within the grille. A high gloss wing design lower rear bumper highlights the rear sporty chassis lines. Completing the new appearance, a very aggressive-looking center exit double exhaust has been added to the Sport. Along with the mufflers, the sport version will be available with a 6-speed manual for the first time in recent Honda history. Available wheel sizes have been increased from 18x8.5 +60 using a 235/40ZR18 tire to 19x8.5 +60 with a 245/35R9 tire. This was accomplished with a +45mm increase in track width with suspension updates to provide improved turn-in performance.
The Type R's thoughtful design goes much deeper than simply adding bigger engines and tires to the hatchback. For this refresh, Honda has updated the front and rear fascias to add a tiny bit of visual width to the car. The front grille is redone, with the beams creating a 'smile' extending deeper and wider to the front bumper. The lower extremities now feature gloss black trim to provide a more aggressive appearance. New LED headlamps have a more modern appearance as well as better light pattern performance. At the start of the new generation, there was a lot to be said about the Civic's rear end and how the styling was polarizing. For 2020, the beams have been changed to a more standard appearance with a light bar extending the width of the car. Honda has moved the emblem from the top of the beam to now integrate into the tailgate locking system. New color options and wheel designs across the range complete the new sporty appearance. Moving to fundamental changes, Honda has given a lot of attention to reducing unwanted sounds within the cabin. Upgrades include shock absorbers with a bigger damping drive and bushings with a more rigid compliance. Finally, Honda has reviewed and updated the complete Type R aerodynamic package in the interest of balance between reduced drag and increased downforce.
1.2. Interior Features
The EX comes with 8 speakers while the Sport only comes with 4. The sound quality from both systems is actually very similar, but the EX's 8 speakers could be more convenient for some people considering that you don't have to upgrade it after. The stock speakers on both are leaps and bounds better than the stock speakers on the previous Civic. Both cars have automatic climate control with dual zone on the EX that only differs in looks. The ease of use and features on the climate control are very handy, especially during a long drive. On the front center console, the EX has a sliding armrest storage and an additional rear USB output that may or may not be useful for some people. Both cars come with the usual Honda Sensing driver assist feature, but only the EX has adaptive cruise control with low-speed follow. This is very useful during a traffic jam or in heavy traffic conditions on the highway. It can only provide some assistance in stop-and-go traffic since the system can't operate the car until a complete stop. The feature is accessed by the ordinary cruise control button after you turn it on. Then you can scroll the distance setting from the car ahead and it will automatically follow the speed of the car in front of it. This means you don't have to disable and enable the cruise control to match and change the speed manually.
Interior looks are quite similar between Sport and EX. Both have clean dashboard layouts, easy to use and read buttons, and a 7" touch screen that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Both have a volume knob (RIP Type R) while the regular Civic still sticks with the old style up and down button. But if you look deeper, there are some differences. The EX utilizes a full digital gauge that looks a lot more modern and elegant compared to the Sport's simple and sporty analog gauges. Some people might be turned away from the full digital feature, but it's actually very useful and almost on par with a luxury car's digital gauge. However, it's missing a temperature gauge that is visible on the Sport's gauge cluster and it doesn't have any blind spot monitor camera like in the touring model. The digital gauge could display it, but you have to press the right turn signal to see the live feed from the camera. The EX's gauge also doesn't have any customization on color, it only changes automatically when you change the drive mode between eco, comfort, and sport mode. Both cars have a sunroof/moonroof, but the EX's sunroof is a regular sliding one while the Sport's sunroof has higher quality with a tilt and slide feature. Both cars have the same black interior color, but the EX has a wood-like accent on the dashboard while the Sport doesn't have any, so it mostly just comes down to whether you prefer the sporty look or a more classic and elegant look.
1.3. Performance and Engine
Both of the 2024 Honda Civic models use the same engine, so there isn't very much to debate as far as performance differences go. The engine used is a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine (VTEC) producing 160 horsepower, which revolves around 6500 RPMs. The torque put out by the engine is 132 lbs-ft at 4000 RPMs. When compared to previous 2015 Honda Civic models, this has an improvement of 20 horsepower and 16 lbs-ft of torque coming from their 1.8L engine. This engine is used in both the LX and Sport, so there isn't any difference between the two as far as engine specification is concerned. Compared to the last generation Type-R with 306 horsepower, the choice to limit power in this model was likely to leave room for people to upgrade to a higher trim level Civic Type-R in the future. This keeps the 2024 Civics from competing too closely with their sporty Type-R models while providing great fuel economy for the average consumer. Honda's decision to use a multi-link independent rear suspension setup, sports-tuned MacPherson front struts, and standard-equipped disc brakes is a great decision for performance and handling appeal. The independent rear suspension will be far superior to a cheaper torsion beam rear setup potential LX models may have, and the sports tuning of the struts will offer more responsive handling characteristics. This will bring a huge marginal difference to Honda Civics of the past with strut/shock forks all around and will have people desiring to get behind the wheel of this new Civic.
2. Safety and Technology
Trying to provide peace of mind is Honda Sensing's newest feature, Traffic Jam Assist. Ideal for low-speed rush hour traffic. When this feature is active, Traffic Jam Assist keeps the vehicle at the center of the detected lane. It will then control acceleration and braking while following the car in front, easing the stress of driving in congested traffic. This feature has been designed with driver convenience in mind, given how traffic in urban areas can be a tiresome experience. Although minor, Compass and Auto-Dimming rear mirror add added convenience features that are only available in the EX model. This will assist with navigation and unpleasant light exposure from the rear of the vehicle.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a driver convenience feature that adjusts cruising speed to maintain a safe distance between vehicles. If the vehicle detected is going at a slower speed than the adaptive cruise control set distance, or gets in the way of the vehicle, ACC will slow down the vehicle by reducing throttle and/or applying brakes. ACC for Civic EX has been improved and depends on the conditions and certain circumstances, CMB can brake harder and bring the vehicle to a stop. This is beneficial for stop and go traffic. Civic EX comes with Honda LaneWatch that uses a small camera within the passenger side mirror to display live video on the Display Audio screen when the turn signal is activated, or by pressing the signal button. This will result in an enhanced image of the passenger-side roadway which can assist with checking for vehicles in the blind spot.
The safety features for both 2024 Honda Civic Sport and EX are quite similar with dual front, side, and curtain airbags. Additionally, both models are equipped with an anti-lock braking system, vehicle stability assist, and rear seat safety features include LATCH and child-proof rear door locks. Where these two models differ are in the newer, state-of-the-art safety features available in the EX model. Ideal for scenarios when a collision is unavoidable and the driver has to make a sudden evasive maneuver. This feature ensures that both brakes are applied to assist in vehicle maneuvering and hopefully avoid an impact. And if the impact is unavoidable, brake assist will apply maximum brake force which will greatly reduce the hit.
2.1. Advanced Safety Features
These features are wonderful, but the true safety starts at what is protecting the car and driver when an accident does occur. The standard features of stability control, antilock brakes, front side airbags, and side curtain airbags are, of course, on all trims. The boost in safety occurs through the options of Honda's LaneWatch blind spot camera and Forward Collision Warning and Lane Departure Warning system. The LaneWatch system is a small camera on the passenger side mirror that shows a live view of the car's blind spot when turning right or just switching lanes. The FCW and LDW system use cameras on the upper part of the windshield to warn the driver if the car is about to collide with another object (FCW) and/or if the car begins to drift out of a detected lane without using a turn signal (LDW). These options are on the 2014 Civic EX, EX-L, and Hybrid trims. The NHTSA recommends the FCW and LDW features for all new car buyers. Although the safety may be premier, the opposite end of the spectrum of this discussion is the thought by a young driver. Many of these systems are so useful and may help prevent an accident, but they take away from the driver's mental thought process and motor skills needed for evasive maneuvering. The thought from an adult is to purchase the safest, most sensible car for their teen. This is perfect within the standards of the 2014 Honda Civic, providing the best possible protection from point A to point B.
With the latest cars, there is a lot of confidence that the makers instill in saying that their product is the perfect vehicle for your teen to be driving in order to gain a sense of what driving in our world is really like. Although the thoughts are well-intentioned, and the option of a new car altogether is a good idea, not all cars are safe for anyone, let alone a teen. The 2014 Honda Civic will be the safest car for any young adult. No matter the edition (sedan, coupe, hybrid), the car received the NHTSA 5-star rating. Honda put just as much weight on safety as any parent would. To delve deeper, the LX, EX, EX-L, and HF trims all include a backup camera which helps for a safer reverse and reliability that there is nothing behind the car.
2.2. Infotainment System
The infotainment system is central to the modern driving experience, functioning as the car's command center, integrating entertainment and keeping smartphone-tethered drivers connected on the go. A simplified dashboard and steering wheel interface with improved voice commands should make the system easier to use. The upgrade to a capacitive-touch display in place of the previous resistive setup should improve visual efficiency. The feature list includes integration of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto which is now standard on both trims, SiriusXM 2.0, HD Radio, and the return of a physical volume knob which was sorely missed on the previous setup. Higher trims will have an additional 1.0-amp USB data port in the front, LED pocket light, and single-zone automatic climate control. Real improvement on the infotainment systems are best shown through comparison. Off the bat, the EX trim takes a hyperlane ahead with its Display Audio touchscreen over the Sport's 7" Display Audio setup. However, the Sport's system is Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatible, making up for the lack of 1" on the touchscreen size. The biggest disappointment of the infotainment comparisons is in the lack of return of SiriusXM Satellite Radio/HD Radio functionality that was present and better in the previous generation Civic EX. Thus, for those who are not as reliant on generic AM/FM and smartphone streamed audio, the infotainment factor of the 2024 Civics may be underwhelming.
2.3. Connectivity Options
Overall, these features demonstrate Honda's commitment to creating a strong and seamless connection between the driver and the vehicle.
The Civic EX places more emphasis on two key features. The first is Smart Entry with Push Button Start, which provides a higher level of convenience by allowing users to enter the vehicle without taking the key fob out of their pocket or case. Locking the door is as simple as pushing a button on the door handle, and unlocking is done by touching the inner part of the handle. The push button start eliminates the need for a physical key to start the vehicle, reflecting the trend towards keyless systems in modern vehicles. The second key feature is Remote Engine Start, which allows users to start the vehicle from a greater distance. This feature is particularly useful in cold climates, as it allows the user to warm up the vehicle in winter or cool it down in summer. It also helps to reduce wear and tear on the vehicle when used in combination with auto climate control in a garage setting, resulting in longer vehicle life and lower maintenance costs.
In terms of connectivity options, the Civic requires a connection cable to connect the smartphone to the head unit. However, this is not seen as a major inconvenience since the phone can still be charged while using the navigation system and apps. Both the Civic Sport and EX models support Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® and Streaming Audio, with each having its own unique PIN code for pairing. This system allows users to pair two devices with the navigation system and automatically connect to the device for streaming audio playback.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto can be purchased as accessories for the Sport trim, further enhancing smartphone integration. These interfaces provide additional functionality and organization for the applications on the user's phone. The Civic EX, being more advanced in this category, includes APP List and Home button functions in the navigation system. The APP List displays only compatible apps with CarPlay or Android Auto, making it easy for users to select and start their desired app. The Home button allows users to return to the home screen from any app, and holding the Home button will close any open apps. This functionality may not be well-known to many users, as it is not displayed on the Apple or Android phone.
Honda Civic Sport includes a 7-inch touchscreen positioned in the middle of the dashboard, while the EX model has a larger 7-inch screen set farther back. The infotainment interface of the Civic Sport is considered to be one of the best in its segment, with large and user-friendly touchscreen icons. The Honda Civic EX comes standard with a 7-inch display audio touchscreen that includes the Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System™ with Voice Recognition and Honda HD Digital Traffic. This navigation system is compatible with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, providing continuous updates and personalized functionality for the user. It also offers a Customizable Shortcuts feature, allowing users to assign different functions to icons and rearrange the home screen.
2.4. Driver Assistance Features
The Sport and EX have some variance in the additional safety features that they are available with. Some safety features for the 2024 Honda Civic may be different between the trims due to the fact that the IIHS has only done crash tests on the base LX trim. EyeSight features mostly include things like adaptive cruise control, lane keep, and lane sway assist, and pre-collision throttle management all of which are considered to be the driver assistance category which is not available on the base LX model Honda Civic. A rear seat reminder feature is available on the Subaru WRX and Impreza, along with all other 2024 models, and is a very important safety feature in terms of preventing things like fatalities and heat stroke for young children left in a locked car. This feature was not listed on the Honda Civic. The 2024 Honda Civic Sport has the availability of the Honda Sensing® suite of features the majority of which are considered to be driver assist features and these have been given a few notable awards for its safety systems from the IIHS and NHTSA. These safety systems on the 2024 Honda Civic Sport and EX include things like advanced compatibility engineering, anti-lock braking systems, collision mitigated braking, and a rear seat reminder function. The Civic has been given a 5-star rating on crash safety by the NHTSA and it is a top safety pick by the IIHS. The additional safety features of the Honda Sensing® suite combined with these ratings may weigh into your decision to choose a Honda Civic Sport or EX over a WRX or Impreza. Note that the availability of these features on the EX trim at no additional cost can be a deal breaker between the base LX trims with the price point in close consideration.
3. Comfort and Convenience
The new Civic has seen a major leap in terms of interior refinement, and these three models benefit greatly. Considering the incumbents in these positions are used to being the only ones to get such, it's a big improvement in their market positions. The most noticeable increase in interior quality is with the seating. Past generations have struggled with comfort and support of the front and rear chairs, but this has been rectified with nicely contoured and bolstered buckets up front, and a rear bench that can actually be used by adults. The Sport model comes with cloth seats with the front ones having a heating function, and standard Civic EX comes with Honda's leather trimmed seats. Both models benefit from the standard one level front seat heaters, and the addition of a centre armrest in the rear. Climate control systems are something that are often forgotten and left to be the most basic systems available, to justify the need for a higher-spec model. Honda has been quite philanthropic in this sense, providing both of these models with a dual-zone automatic climate control system, freeing you from the tyranny of having to share the same temperature setting as your passenger. Also a standard feature in these models is the heated side mirrors and windshield-wiper de-icer, a welcome feature for those in colder climates during winter. With the keyless entry and start system now offered as standard in many new cars, it proves a disappointment for some that it is not available in the base level of these new Civic models. However, it is standard from the Sport model and upwards. This stroke of convenience allows you to lock, unlock and start the car without having to touch your key, simply needing to keep it in your pocket or bag.
3.1. Seating and Space
Highway ride comfort and controlled handling were primary development targets for the new Civic, and we've delivered with a new front MacPherson strut setup and refined multi-link rear suspension. Both models utilize 17-inch wheels, and the Sport features a specially tuned sport suspension. While comfort levels are high, the Sport suspension adds to an overall tighter feeling and greatly reduced body roll. The EX features a new Adaptive Damper System which provides a variable degree of damping force, effectively giving the driver two cars in one - comfort mode and sport mode. The Sport adds an additional driving mode for a total of three - comfort, normal, and sport. With excellent road and cabin isolation, comfort, and handling, the new Civic sets a new standard for the class.
The 2024 Civic Sport and EX ride on the same 107.7-inch wheelbase as the new platform affords more cabin space. Legroom in the compact segment is always at a premium, and the Sport and EX deliver with best-in-class front and rear dimensions. Front legroom is an ample 42.3 inches, while rear legroom is 37.4. There is plenty of hip and shoulder room, which makes for a very comfortable environment for four adults. The EX in particular really shines with an available two-level seat heater function and an eight-way power adjustable driver's seat with a four-way power lumbar adjustment which can save two different settings. High-quality materials and attention to design detail round out a much-improved interior in both models.
3.2. Climate Control
The climate control systems for both the Honda Civic Sport and EX are fairly straightforward. They consist of three dials: the left for temperature control, the middle for both fan speed and off control, and the right for selecting the area in which you want to ventilate air. The difference between the two models in this aspect is that the EX supplies a dual-zone automatic climate control system while the Sport supplies a single-zone automatic climate control system. This feature allows the EX to cater towards the preferences of both the driver and the front passenger thanks to the separate temperature controls for each position. This is a rare luxury for a non-luxury class car and is not even available in some higher-end models of other vehicles. The mode control dial for both cars allows you to select where you want air to flow from. Options include vent, floor, vent and floor, defrost floor, or defrost. Although the climate control systems for these two models do not offer very much, it is not really expected that they would for cars that are focused more on economic and efficient transportation than luxury. Comparing to the last generation of Civic, the climate control systems are much more simplified and intuitive to use. Due to complaints about the complex climate control system in the 8th gen models, Honda has strayed away from using digital controls in favor of simple dials and has eliminated the option for a navigation-exclusive automatic climate control system. In our opinion, this was a good move because here at the temple we generally find digital climate control systems to be a nuisance to adjust while driving and an automatic climate control system is unnecessary for a vehicle with no heated seats or leather interior.
3.3. Keyless Entry and Start
In testing keyless entry/start, it was noted that there was a significant difference in convenience between the models. Comparison was made to a 2010 Nissan GTR (and to some extent, Mitsubishi Evo models) which comes with an intelligent key. With the Nissan, as long as the key is on your person, you simply touch a button on the door to unlock it, and the doors key is locked and the engine started/switched off through pressing a button on the dash. Though the system is identical in operation to the Civic, it was noted on both Civics that an amount of time is required for the car to recognize that the key is near, before the buttons on the door and the start/stop ignition can be used – up to a second with the start/stop button. This was felt especially when the start/stop button is pressed to turn the engine off, whereby the cabin quickly dims as the engine shuts off, leaving the driver wondering if the button was pressed properly. The Civic system is however, an improvement from standard key operation and it is assumed that the delay is due to the capacitance type system employed by both Civics to detect the key. This system is still more convenient and easier than having to use the key and is second only to models with intelligent/remote keys and keyless entry/start systems costing more than $35K.
Prospective Honda Civic Sport and EX owners should note that keyless entry and start does not come standard on either of the trims. If the feature is deemed essential – and it really is convenient – you can ask for it to be included in the financing, since Southeast port installations are available for these cars. Step 3 in section 3.4 outlines all the available SE port installed options, and Keyless entry/start is available at a price of $217.50. Dealer installation may be costly, therefore you should consider this into the price. Although the price may be more than you'd like to pay – especially on top of the "bottom line" and there is no dealer negotiation on SE port installed prices – it may be worth it in the long run since keyless entry and start gives you the luxury of being able to keep your keys in your pocket/bag at all times, never having to take them out to open the door or start the car. With the technology available on the remotes and the start/stop button inside the car, it basically allows you to forget you have keys. This is in contrast to having to take them out to unlock the door, and then again to put in the ignition and start the car with a standard key. Both trims feature an immobilizer system however, further information regarding security is available in step 4.6.
4. Pricing and Options
Available Packages and Upgrades With the option to choose different packages, the ability to customize a vehicle increases, yet so does the price. For the Sport, an HPD (Honda Performance Development) package becomes available and for the EX, a Honda Sensing Safety and Driver Assist package becomes an option, further adding to the price differences between models. A fully loaded 2024 Civic Sport will end up costing just under $30k, while the price for a fully loaded EX with the Honda Sensing package is yet to be determined due to the package availability coming after launch. When comparing trim to trim, the EX will still hold a higher price tag than the Sport, but with similar build configurations, the price difference may not be all that much.
Base Price Honda confirms this pattern with a base price for the 2024 Civic Sport at $23,100, almost $1500 more than a base trim 2022 Civic LX, yet only a $300 increase in MSRP comparing base model to base model. The EX opens at $24,700 – just $1600 under the outgoing 2021 Civic Touring, which was the highest trim level. An $1100 step from the Sport, yet a $1400 decrease in MSRP compared to the outgoing 2021 EX. With consumers and manufacturers finding a better middle ground with the Sport and EX trims, it appears Honda hit the nail on the head with price and value for both models.
A sport trim of any car historically creates a price bump due to the options and visual aspects available. Honda confirms this pattern with a base price for the 2024 Civic Sport at $23,100, almost $1500 more than a base trim 2022 Civic LX, yet only a $300 increase in MSRP comparing base model to base model. The EX opens at $24,700 – just $1600 under the outgoing 2021 Civic Touring, which was the highest trim level. An $1100 step from the Sport, yet a $1400 decrease in MSRP compared to the outgoing 2021 EX. With consumers and manufacturers finding a better middle ground with the Sport and EX trims, it appears Honda hit the nail on the head with price and value for both models.
4.1. Base Price
The price of the two is relatively the same price with the market average at $18,000-$20,000 as the base price. These prices are comparable to each model's competitors all within the same market range. The major attracting feature of the 2024 Honda Civic Sport's pricing is the legal approvals from several U.S. states to run a cheap online car insurance plan. As this plan is scheduled to progress throughout the completion of the 2008 Civic's production, it allows the 2024 Civic to be eligible for a discount on car insurance. Minimum plans for a 2008 Civic rate in some approved states, including California, as low as $19 monthly. This will help the Civic's targeted entry-level consumer save money in the long term. The 2024 Honda Civic EX has a similar base price to the 2024 Honda Civic Sport. However, the Sport model is somewhat more expensive because of its more advanced package (which will be discussed in section 4. Available Packages and Upgrades) and better services. Although a bit more expensive, the Sport model still guarantees a discount online insurance rate to qualified drivers. This will give the consumer a more viable choice between the two models knowing that they can still save money with insurance. Both models possess a competitive pricing point and CPA analysis shows that it only costs about $25 extra per year to lease a civic than its primary competitor (the Toyota Corolla). With a low insurance rate and acceptable lease pricing, the Civic remains an economical choice to many people just looking for point "A" to point "B" transportation.
4.2. Available Packages and Upgrades
Finally, the leather package offered on the EX is meant for the Ultra Seat™ system or "leather seating surfaces with heated front seats" on all vehicles besides DX and Si. This is an important note since the Ultra Seat™ has been an exclusive feature for North American-built Civics.
The availability of a sunroof is mentioned for all models with the exception of DX and DX-G. It states in the 2019 Sedan models, "Sunroof not available for vehicles equipped with aero kits," which may not be very clear since Honda does not offer an aero kit. The Aero Kit is simply a term for upgraded aerodynamics parts, usually consisting of a front air dam, side skirts, and rear underbody spoiler. More information can be found in the "Parts and Accessory" section at local Honda dealerships. However, Java Black Pearl was the only color available for aero kits according to Honda's online documentation.
Upgrades for the Civic Sedan have been separated into several trim levels. The base level DX does not have any additional packages available. The LX has the option of adding a power window feature and keyless entry upgrade that brings it up to the standard of the DX-A. Assuming you will be adding 16" tires afterwards, the LX is the same as the DX-A. The DX-G and SE have no additional packages available. The EX and EX-L have the availability to add a Navigation and leather package. This would be a dealer-installed option to prevent the removal of features offered in the Canadian model of the vehicle. The Si model has availability of a Navigation package as well.
Everyone has personal preference, and some of the features that people like in a car may not be available in the base model of that car. Honda has various options and packages that suit everyone's needs. Unfortunately, many features in the higher-level trims are unavailable for manual transmission (MT) unless mentioned.
