From what I can tell, the Advanced has a better head unit, leather, and power seats. Is that it? Leather is kind of important to me, but I can get after market. So the real question to me is, is the difference in the head unit that significant? In what way?
With Advanced you get Heads UP display for speed, navigation, & power level. Also, with a paid subscription to the Entune app you get things like vehicle locator, charge management with email notifications for automatic charge started, charge completed or interrupted, voice commands like Go Home or Call Home, remote climate and the Eco dashboard which lists the top 100 PIPs, their mpg and mileage month by month, push-button road assistance, collision detection and automatic help dispatch based on the car's GPS locator. There could be more, and maybe some of that is already on the base also.
Thanks JerryMildred! I'm scanning the 2015 eBrochure. I'm still trying to decide between a PIP and a regular. I'm starting to think that the PIP feature isn't all that significant to me. Found a Four with 22k at $15,650 just now. Seems like a good price.
with my advanced I got radar cruise control which I love!! only reason I searched for the advanced as some didnt have radar but they had nicer seats and head lights etc..
Advanced also has higher end sound system. Larger and higher definition touch screen. Silver external markings. Headlight washers. Nicer (IMHO) wheels. And no spare, but jack and lug wrench under the driver's seat (took me a while until I came across that.)
