I rented a 2017 XE in Socal the last time I was there. It literally was the most uncomfortable, hard to get into and out of car I have ever driven in my life. Sure, it was peppy, and paddle shifters are cool, but the seats were way to hard and the bolsters to extreme. I felt like the car had swallowed me. awesome for the track I am sure, but not so much for sitting in socal traffic on the 10.

EDIT: Also, I feel like the build quality just isn't there for what they cost. Should have soft-touch materials everywhere. Though the piano-black trim in the car I rented was very nice.
