I would choose my base model 2018 again -- even in a hypothetical scenario where they are priced the same.

You still get Android Auto. I'll take the cloth seats over alcantara any day. Prefer the manual climate controls.

Key-less entry is nice (had it on previous car) but I also like the foolproofness of an old school key. On my last car, I accidentally went swimming with my key in pocket. Had to get a new battery before I could get it working properly again. Totally my fault though lol.

The only thing I wish I had from the Limited is being able to see oil temperatures.

For all the talk about price difference, I ended up getting $3k (CAD) below MSRP. Though, it was new old stock, bought in the following winter (Feb 2019). Really happy with the value.
