- 2021 Civic EX Hatchback
My seats don't move on their own. They do have that in the 2021 Pilot (I think it is the SE) depending on the key in your pocket, but not the Civic EX. Possibly the touring?I was on the fence between the Sport an EX as well until I met the ridiculous pwr seats and sunroof. Here's why:
1. From an engineering standpoint, the more moving objects something has, the more likelihood and sooner you'll have issues.
2. Every Gawd. Damn. Time. I opened the doors or turned car on/off, them blasted seats would move. And move again. AND AGAIN. ? Now for most ppl, that may not be an issue.. but for me with constant leg surgeries and stuff, it was atrocious test driving.
3. That excessive moving burns up them damn motors sooner and more often = Ā¢0$t$ repairs.
4. "F" that sunroof.. you ever had one leak on you? If you did, you might not ever want another one. Ever. Plus, the cloth liners on our beloved Honda's sunroof covers (inside @ ceiling) seem to wear quicker than the actual ceiling liner itself.. probably just a result of more contact but makes it look.. ..very worn ahead of time, before the rest of the car gets close to that point. It drove me nuts, Lol.
Afterthought: the only downside I seen to the Sport over the EX was only the center exhaust prohibiting the addition of a Reese Hitch on the Sport models, which is a bad idea on a CVT transmission to begin with. Obviously no biggie with Manual trans tho..
I already have a Reese Hitch on my '98 L/EX Sedan, so it didn't bother me anyways.
5 years with a CRV-EX and my wife's 2014 Pilot is 7 years (just hit 100k) with no leak. My last car was a Toyota with 90k miles and 7 years on it, no leak. I've never had one leak, maybe an aftermarket one.
