2012 EXL w/Navi vs. Touring - Honda Pilot

BradCA · 12-11-2011, 02:06 PM

I will be buying a 2012 Pilot within the next two weeks.

I narrowed it down to EXL w/Navi or a Touring. Any recommendations on which would be a better choice? Is the Touring worth the extra $$$.

I am doing 4wd with either model.

Thanks!

If you afford the extra toys get them. Otherwise you risk buyers remorse.

There are alot of little extras the Touring has over the EX-L Navi...but what stands out are that the Touring has:

-towing
-rear entertainment system
-proximity sensors

Some other differences:

-better in-dash info display
-more chrome trim and roof rails

If you think you will need/want any of the the above, maybe that is the deal breaker to go with the Touring.

Touring also gives you:

- 650 watt audio with 10 speakers vs 246 watt 7 speakers
- memory linked side mirrors
- integrated 115volt plug

I thought about being cheap(er), but happy I wasn't. I really enjoy the extra features on the touring. What's a few more dollars at this price anyway?

Thanks for all of the replies!! I will probably go for the Touring model, since its a car that I plan to keep for a long time.

Any advice on accessories?

How is the remote starter?

Is the factory alarm hooked up to the horn? If so, what is the best way to change that.. it always sounds so annoying.

Honda factory starter is not a good one.
