Well y'all can always find some time to go back and add cause it's important and 55 mph is a wussy sound check, it should be at highway speeds at least 70 to 75 mph
Go with the Hybrid Sport for the same money as the EX. Way better driving experience. The hybrid sport has the electronic CVT transmission and shifts more like a regular transmission. The hybrid sport is quick off the line. The 1.5 turbo with mechanical CVT is dog slow off the line. I have owned both so I think there is a huge difference. The downside to the hybrid is the cost of battery replacement when the vehicle gets older.
I will say there are ways to get around the hybrid battery cost. You actually remove the battery and replace the cells.. very easy and a WHOLE lot more cheaper.
Stupid center display looks like an add on after-market item. No thought given to looking integrated. A/C vents look like they came from a cheap 1970s vehicle. Ugh. Should definitely come with an under-hood insulation pad and bring back the cover over the injectors! But it probably DOES come with the BIRD - you know, the one which goes, "CHEAP, CHEAP, CHEAP!"
Haha…. The analogy…. I honestly don’t mind the engine cover and pad… never liked them on my cars, always felt like the don’t let engine cool better, just an OCD thing.
Cheap 70s vehicle haha! I just bought a new crv hybrid and I have a coiple cheap old cars and I can tell you the crv is light years ahead of em! My 1981 rabbit diesel is almost comical in the hvac controls area. No factory ac, no power windows, no power steering, no power brakes, it has a pull knob to start when cold. Ya, you're a little off on that one bud. I do love my rabbit though. It's a time machine!
Thank you for the excellent comparison.
Glad you liked it! Thank you for the support!
Thanks! Enjoyed your presentation! Very helpful in making our decision.
Glad we can help!
Good video! I own a 2024 EXL. Great vehicle!,
Thanks! 👍
@@russellhalleran9080 how is the wind noise at 70mph plus, Thanks Glen
God bless you too, thank you so much. So helpful.
Glad we can help! Thank you for the support! 😄
Honda need to step up the rear camera game. Aweful!
I did see that. The rear camera could be a bit better I would say.
Y'all never talk about the acoustic glass in the exl model and the difference it can make
Sorry… we can’t mention everything 😅
@@VagabondBuilds but that's important, so how was the wind noise

Plus no spare tire on the Hybrid.

True
No spare tire if you have a flat your sitting waiting for a tow

you forgot the speakers, and stereo wattage difference.
Sorry about that. We don’t typically mention wattage differences but we do speakers. Sorry 😅. Check the msrp stickers in the video.

You failed to mention the EXL has a compass.
Sorry!!! Thanks for the heads up!
Waste of time! I could have told you the differences in 2 minutes!
Sorry 😅 we also like to give our viewers a quick overlook as well so they can see the cars.
Those 1.5 turbos are trash. In civics, accords and crvs. Oil dilution and head gaskets blowing up every where. Don’t buy.
I’m not a big fan of the turbo myself.
3 minutes in and the only difference noted was the bumper sensors🫥 and high gloss isn't a good thing for me.
Soo… ?? Which one you going with?
@@VagabondBuilds the EXL. If I can
Good choice honestly! Good idea to get the more bell and whistle one… but it’s really worth
