Again it seems they have a basic base model almost so they can claim a lower starting price...
My dealer ended up charging me $900 for the Comfortline rims and tyres. That is the only option I got for my manual base model so I paid $2600 less than the Comfortline would have cost me. The dual zone climate control & reversing camera were the only things from the Comfortline I would have really liked but not at that price. Under seat drawers, rear centre armrest with cupholders, 12 volt power outlet in the luggage compartment & rear map lights were worth nothing to me as the rear seat will rarely get used. Auto lights and rain sensing wipers I've never had so don't miss them. What I do like is the brushed aluminium trim on the Comfortline rather than the plain look of the base model and both are much nicer than that piano black of the Highline.
