Having driven both at night, the LEDs are really just so much better than the stock halogen projectors. I'd love to see some numbers and tests done though.
Edit: The headlights were the main reason I went with the Touring.
If you are even remotely on the fence about it get the touring. IMO the LED headlights alone are worth it. You won't regret it if you get the touring, you will regret it if you get the exl.
Just a thought, I see other civics driving around and I always think how great the color is and how I would have totally bought that color. The truth is this car just looks really great in every color.
I really like my MSM touring, but I would have also really liked a WOP or any other color...
I honestly love the look of the WOP but I went with the MSM. I do a lot of highway driving and I have a dusty gravel driveway and the MSM really hides the dirt and grime well.
Just a thought here, if they are really trying to sell the MSM to you and you are indifferent on the colors just let...
Seriously this time, I Honestly don't really understand what the big deal is. Especially when you are looking on the thread with purchase prices most people list out every tax and fee.
If you walk into a dealer in your state and don't have any idea what the taxes and the fees are going to be...
Go into your vehicle settings.
You can change it so when you hit the unlock button on key fob it unlocks everything, also you can make it so when you use the keyless entry at the drivers door it will unlock all the doors.
Also, you can even turn on walk away auto-lock.
I didn't take a picture of my sensor itself but it looked like it had bubbles in front of the sensor from the outside.

Looked similar to the sensor in that picture.
The adjust knob is the sensitivity for the rain sensing wipers, not speed adjustment.
I had issues with my sensor where it would go full speed even on light misting with next to nothing on the window. I had it replaced and it works perfectly.
If you can afford the touring I'd say get it.
Every time I drive at night with the LED lights I honestly am surprised I survived so long driving highway speeds with halogens.
I never really cared about speakers before but the system in the touring sounds really amazing.
I love the HS...
You should look closer at the fine print. That price doesn't include destination fees, the processing fees and dealer installed accessories (nitrogen and pinstripes too). Also his quoted out the door price is 26,417.
For what it is worth, I bought my touring for 24,500 including destination...
Just curious, with the EXled lights do they fade on our do they just turn on to full brightness? Also on the other side do they just turn off or fade out?
Edit: should say, the way the stock bulbs do it when you lock/unlock your car.
