Buy EX-L '14 certified used or '16 Brand New?
Hey Guys
In the market for a almost-new or brand new, solid SUV for the wife, who will use it for local soccer mom, etc stuff. Occasional minor minor off-road (which will be hard packed gravel roads for reaching Boy Scout camp sites, etc)
I travel alot out of town for work and momma needs a solid reliable SUV.
With that said, I wanted to ask
1. how much different is the 2016 from a 2014 or even a 2013, for those purposes. Lean towards AWD, just for the enhanced safety in rain and light snow.
2. What year did the CMBS safety system start as an feature ? The safer the better, for the wife and kids.
3. When should I purchase this ? I prefer to wait until after Christmas. What is "best" for deal-making at Honda ?
Thank You

I have a '14 EX
Get AWD
The 15-16 have a new engine and a CVT, slightly better mileage and better headlights
I am not sure what safty system you are talking about so it must have started during the 15 Minor model change
The best deal making in my experience is SEPT/OCT when the new MY are coming out.
i hear the 15s had some issue with idle vibration but it seems minor
I would get the 16 just because resale of the 14s is so good you will likly only spend a few more grand to get a band new one
