I got a 2018 exl coupe last year from my parents. They wanted something safe, they paid for it in full, and it gets good mileage so I'm not gonna complain. However, I've always been somewhat of a car guy and would really like to get a little bit more performance out of the car but it's a cvt.

What kind of stuff could I reasonably do to the car without much chance of causing any issues?

My top 3

1. KTuner or Hondata tune. Best performance upgrade by far.

2. Better tires. More traction to match the extra power from the tune.

3. Bigger rear sway bar. Less body roll and less understeer.

Your EX-L will thank you. Trust me.

I’ve done all three of these mods myself.
They make a dramatic difference in driving dynamics.
