We just picked up a leftover '16 Limited. I was hoping to wait for a '17 SE but we were running out of time and got a deal on the '16 that was too good to pass up. It's a very easy car to drive but it definitely lacks some features that should be standard - and at the very least, available - on a $45k car (xenon headlamps, heated wheel, remote start, rain sensing wipers, auto high/low beams, etc). The non-premium nature of the car is really felt when you close the doors as they just sound hollow and cheap.
The '17s added a few hp but now have an 8-spd trans and auto start/stop. The car doesn't have a enough low-end oomf to benefit from an 8-spd and auto start/stop is a very annoying feature (to me).
It's definitely reliable, but it's not much fun and lacks some value on features.
