No auto climate control on the base model though. Yes I have an obsession but I HATE fumbling with HVAC controls. Oh too hot, switch. Oh too cold, switch. Oh it suddenly warmed up outside, switch vent mode, go to higher fan speed. Arrrrgh.
Too bad the middle trim comes with leather seats.
Agreed. There are a few "first world problem" features that I cannot live without:
-Auto climate control: for the exact reasons you mentioned.
-Sunroof: nice for open air experience in warmer months, brings in light in darker winter months.
-LED/HID headlights: bright, crisp white light
-Leather/pleather seating: less dust and easier to keep clean.
