Best Version to Get
We would start with the midlevel Sport trim since it gives you a pathway to opt for blind spot warning and rear cross traffic warning, as well as having other desirable features such as keyless access and push-button start. If you think the Sport isn’t ”sporty” enough, we wouldn’t talk you out of going for the top-trim RS, which comes with a noticeably zippier 2.5-liter engine, as well as standard BSW and RCTW.
