Goodbye 2015 xlt. Hello
I made the plunge to a new 17 Lariat 502. I really liked the 15 sport was the best vehicle I have ever owned. My lease was up and finance deal was better than lease, so that the way I went.
I sm so impressed with the quality of the 17. The fit and finish is perect. There are no paint issues that I've seen so far. I find the seats to be a bit softer and more comfortable than the cloth sports. You seem to sit it a further in making the bolsters a bit tighter. Soft touch on the dash and door is nice. Didnt realize there were so many ambient lighting areas. I have 360cam and lane keep. Honestly I would have skipped this option. I prefer the entire screen in backup and I dont really see the 360 view as being particularly handy for me. Then again its only been a day of ownership.
The lane keep only works with near perfect painted road lines and sometimes I dont even feel the steering vibrate over less than smooth roads. When it works though it works very well.
10spd is very smooth and shifts to different gears. Ie 1 3 5 7 8 9. A bit more throttle 1 2 4 5789.
Sorry I may be one of the few who like the augmented sound. Never could hear the turbos spooling unless beside a wall anyways.
Price wise the lariat is about 15000 more. I would have stayed in the xlt if I could not get a 502. The head lights are awsome. Plan on driving for 5 years or so. Dealer " included" 200km 5yr warranty in my deal.
White platinum with chome pkg. Glad to not have painted bumpers that chip on sight.

I may be the outlier here, but I actually really like the 360 view. It really is as if you are looking down from a drone, nice software tricks from the cameras to give you that perspective. Makes parking spot lane guidance that much easier.
