So, Im going to potentially purchase a 2016 Civic EX-L w/ Honda Sensing tomorrow and was wondering if there was anything in the car I should pay special attention to.

Is there anything in specific I should look out for? Panel gaps? Misalignment issues?

Thanks for helping.

Some have mentioned the hood and trunk being misaligned/gaps being larger than they should be. A good number, myself included, have had periodic infotainment issues but they're unlikely to show up during your test drive.

May want to look at a Touring as well, lots more content for not much over the EX-L w/HS price in the real-world, as models w/HS tend to not have larger discounts.

Thanks for the reply. Ill be sure to look out for those. I was under the impression that the EX-L w/ HS would be easier to negotiate with since most people arent looking at an EX-L w/ HS. I originally wanted an EX-T w/ HS but have since decided to throw in a little bit more cash for an EX-L.

Dependent on location and inventory, but generally the models w/HS aren't as readily available. YMMY.
