Yep, that's the key, isn't it. I'd have to find a substantial buy / discount on a 14 to make it worthwhile.
Thanks for all the detailed helpful information (which I'm sure has been posted elsewhere on here so thanks for not telling me to search for it, like what happens on a lot of forums... I'm overwhelmed with all the decisions I need to make throughout this process so I do appreciate it!)
Right we've got a 2016 SEL with AWD for an extended test drive. Good relationship with the guy at the Ford dealer, just let me take the car for a few hours. The wife took it for a spin by herself. Will be interesting to hear her feedback when she returns.
And thanks for the heads up on the AWD issues. I have almost zero desire for AWD and suspected there might be issues. There would be potentially with any vehicle since you've got a more complex system.
Finally, talked to a neighbor who just got a 2012 with the glass roof. He really loves that roof. I think I'd like it too, unless they ALL leak and or they ALL squeak.
