Good points.

Although the EX trim level across Honda's lineup has historically been more of a 'mid' trim level. In my Accord, the only extra weight might be the moonroof unit. 30-40lbs? I don't know how much heavier a 6-CD changer is compared to a single disc AM/FM stereo unit. And the difference in the weight of a power driver's seat vs a manual one is probably negligible.

Cloth interior on the EX, unlike EX-L(eather) or EX-V6.
