Default LX vs EX

Hello guys

I want to verify if 3rd brake light on Coupes were different between LX and EX.

I heard that EX comes with LEDs but not on LX.

Anyone know if it's true?

Yea? Wtf i didn't know that lmao.

I wish I would have got the LX 5SPD.

EX rims suck. Who cares about 4 disc brakes on R18?

Only cool thing about the EX is sunroof cuz I smoke out a lot in my car lol

Uh other than that..oh yea the upgraded stereo is cool but you can get aftermarket which would be better...

i love my lx. What matters most is its the same engine. Who cares about brakes .. 99% of us don't do any type of racing with ex/ or lx.

it is important but nto that much for a daily driver. PLus performance isnt ALOT better from the ex its more of a maintainable thing. drums are harder to replace.

Lol at brakes as an aesthetic and not a safety feature.

I like the EX because:

Disc brakes (upgrade F & rear pads and discs, do Si conversion, etc.)

Black interior (wtf, why is this a trim feature!)

Steering wheel audio controls- I've driven without them for far too long, they're a great way to keep your hands free.

Key fob offers trunk release- hell of a lot easier

Rear seats have 60/40 split- someone can still fit in the back with one side open.

Auto windows/locks- Lazy American feature

Rear cup holders- for cramped riders

Power outlets- for more **** to charge

If you don't need that ****, you'll be fine with an LX

About 50 lbs due to the extra stuff like the moonroof.

hondacars.com has the specs. The DX is almost 100 lbs lighter than the EX.

Not too much weight, it's actually pretty negligible. I'm just mad they don't offer a higher performance motor like they used to, the EX getting 10 or so more hp to make up for hte weight.

The EX brakes are awesome. The rims look okay, the sunroof is definitely a +

That's weird, HOnda's site says ONLY the EX has rear cup holders.
