The trim we'd park in our garage
Look for the Luxury: it adds blind-spot and rear cross-traffic alerts plus upgraded comfort features over the base car. The V-Sport brings a 410-hp twin-turbo V6.
On the test drive
Test the touchscreen and check the struts for leaks or a bouncy ride. Pay for an inspection at an independent shop that specializes in the brand.
