Leather interiors are available in light tones that are warm and inviting, really nice. The instrument panel features a two-tone finish with big gauges that are highly legible. Features associated with luxury cars abound, particularly on the high-level models. Sun visors offer sliding extensions. A HomeLink remote control system can be programmed to open garage doors, turn on house lights and turn off security systems. The air conditioning system, designed to quickly cool the car down after getting in on a hot day, uses an air filtration system to keep pollen out and reduce diesel fumes from buses and trucks.

Our EX-V6 came with a superb 6-disc in-dash AM/FM/CD stereo. It sounded great. And the controls are a paragon of excellent design with big buttons that are easy to identify and use. This one does not require any reading of the owner's manual nor does it require taking your eyes off the road for long periods of time. Switching among six CDs, changing songs, scanning stations is all easy to do.
