You can. Its actually even touch sensitive on the steering wheel kinda like a mouse pad on a laptop. You dont have to press it in to raise or lower the volume but you could use it as a physical control tho if u want to. Ive gotten use to touch screen controls
I'm still liking the sedan better, and not just because I bought one. I honestly think it looks a little cleaner and more natural. The coupe is not by any means bad or ugly though. Add in the added convenience of 4 doors and a larger back seat and trunk, and the fact that the coupe isn't really getting any upgraded gear, and the sedan wins. Si will be a different story though.....Nah. Not really. Still loving my beautiful/handsome Civic Touring '16!
Actually, the coupe has a larger trunk space than the sedan. And the Coupe can be had with Standard alloy wheels on the LX and the 10 speaker touring stereo is standard on the EXT coupe. So the coupe does have a few things over the lower sedan trims. Combine that with the coupes stiffer tuned suspension and the really the only thing the sedan has over the coupe is back door convenience and larger back seat area. Again, not knocking the sedan, it's a spectacular car. But for anyone who doesn't need 4 doors the coupe is a way better use of money on lower trims due to the extra features added and larger trunk space.
I'm getting the EXT. It seems like the best value considering the features. Turbo engine, touch screen, 10-speaker stereo, 17 inch wheels, etc.
That's interesting, does it? It certainly looks a bit smaller than the sedan trunk in the photos I've seen. What is the actual cubic footage?
Sorry my mistake, info was so back and forth i specifically heard a honda rep at the press event say the coupe had a slightly larger trunk than the sedan. The sedan does have a larger trunk space. But not by much.
The touring just has a lot that i don't need. Leather, honda sensing, etc. No justification for me to spend the extra money for features i don't want/need. The EXT is exactly in the price point i want to pay for a new car and has 100% everything i want and nothing i don't want so it was an easy decision for me. I'd say, if you want leather and the other few added features the EXT doesn't have, skip the EXL and go all the way to the touring if you can afford it.
I've mentioned this before, i think the reason the coupe has the larger stereo on a lower trim is for 2 reasons. Reason A being how honda approached the appeal of the coupe, being all about style and what kind of people fit into the coupe demographic. The second reason being cost. I think the coupes are actually a bit cheaper for honda to produce than the sedans (less metal and plastic cost) so they make up the difference by adding other features like the larger more expensive sound system in order to make the coupe and sedan price more closely match. This has been the case for some time, 8th and 9th gen coupes always had bigger stereos than the sedans on lower trims (6 vs 4 speakers) and i think that is all about making sure the coupe and sedan are priced as closely as possible.
....Maybe. Maybe not. The Si will be more expensive and it will be of manual transmission only!
