We're torn between the EX and the EX-L. The latter has desirable luxury features such as leather upholstery, a programmable power liftgate and a premium audio system. We liked it enough to buy one for our long-term test fleet.
PROS Turbocharged engine delivers a rare combination of thrift and zest Roomy interior with cavernous cargo capacity for this class Rides comfortably yet handles corners athletically Plentiful and thoughtful storage areas
CONS Optional navigation system isn't as reliable as expected Base LX's engine is weaker and thirstier than the turbo Touchscreen can be finicky to use and lacks a separate tuning knob

Cons Odd styling LX lacks important features Hardly fun to drive No high-performance version, if that matters
