HELP deciding between two GLS
so I am down to two cars that I both love, 2018, unfortunately neither one has everything I want so I have to compromise
All other things considered equal:
Choice 1 (2018)
Lighting package
Lane Tracking
Parking assist
Manual second row sunshades
Choice 2 (2018)
Driver Assistance Package
Magic Vision Control
3-zone automatic climate control
Accessory Chrome package
Choice 3 (2017) but far away in another state 1000 miles away .. again this is 2017
3 zone climate
lighting package
heated ventilated seats
massage seats
park assist
I don't love the WHITE color on this car...but can grow on me ...
Whoever builds these cars that show up in dealers must not be very smart, no rhyme or reason..
SO FEW of these cars have the curve control package. . one would think could do something with heated steering wheel, heated seats, curve control for people who live in hilly cold areas...I don't know ...
What order would you rank these (best to least) .. all within a few hundred bucks

If it was me, I would try to get a good deal on #3, because it has:
3 zone climate
lighting package
park assist
Maybe you can get better price on it because it's a 2017 model, and also you can argue that they give you a little something off for the inconvenience of it being 1000 miles away.
But that's just me.

If you plan on keeping it long term, I would suggest you order a 2018 equipped exactly the way you want.
What I've learned over the last 27 years driving and buying cars (over 30 new cars) is that those I buy off the lot without all the equipment I want, I tend to get tired of and want to get rid of shortly after I get it. The few cars I ordered exactly the way I like, I kept for much longer period of time and was much happier during that duration of ownership.

There aren't any big differences between 2017/2018, so option 3 looks best to me. Otherwise I'd pick option 1. As for option 2, you probably want to think hard about if you can swallow the idea of having a $80k+ car with halogen lights...

In this order:
Option 3
Option 1
Option 2
And to be honest, dont even consider Option 2. I can imagine living without lane tracking, or 3 zone climate to be honest. But the crapogens, no thanks. You will hate yourself for not having listened to us

load everything you could, Canada more easier and I got almost full loaded car except the off road package and vent seat. Don't go with basic equipped and it will destroy you during ownership.
