And that wasn't while driving - it was flat one morning with a slow leak from a screw. But, in 20 years of driving (more than 20k a year typically), I've had exactly 1 flat tire. I also understand that a lot of people don't want to be bothered with changing a tire. I understand the safety reasons that people like the PAX system, and I respect that. So for me, I find enough value to justify the $4k. It is really preference on whether you want to spend the extra $4k for:ġ) PAX tires and tire pressure monitoring system (can add aftermarket runflat tires - if available in the right size - and tire pressure warning system for about $1500)ģ) Self Dimming night rearview mirror ($210 on ebay)Ĥ) Power Tailgate (cannot be added on to EXL)ĥ) Power Pedals (cannot be added on to EXL)Ħ) Memory Drivers seat (cannot be added on to EXL)ħ) Parking sensors front and rear (as far as I know, the factory system cannot be added on but simpler aftermarket systems can be had for about $200).Ĩ) Chrome trim on the exterior tailgate handle and the inside sliding door handles (no real $ value, just preference)ĩ) Digital automatic climate control for rear seats (EXL is manual knob type, probably not worth the $$ to add onto the EXL)ġ0) Programmable door locks to lock the doors automatically when driving (can add an aftermarket alarm system to EXL to do this for about $200)ġ1) Twilight sensing headlights on & off (can add aftermarket system for about $100 to EXL )ġ2) 115 V AC power outlets (can add a power converter to EXL from $40 to $200 depending on wattage but consumes space and could be less convenient to use)ġ3) A trip computer and programmable info display Why Touring? - I think there are other threads on the forum espousing the virtues of - and not - of the Touring over EXL. But you can just buy an old fashioned across the lap cinch up seat belt instead of trying to install the overhead retracting seatbelt on the Touring. The Touring comes only with 7 - but you can buy the parts for an 8th seat from Honda and it pops right in. I thought that the subwoofer or something else was put into that empty space.ĭonHo- I almost wrote the check for an EXL but changed my mind at the last minute. Can a EXL Spare go into the empty space that the Touring has? Apparently yes.
