Default Looking to switch from a 2012 to a 2014

I am looking to trade my 2012 SXT in for a 2014 SXT Rallye or the Limited. Has anybody else made the switch to the newer one? What do you think?

My main reason for the switch is that I want a sunroof, easier to trade it in for a new one that has it. Then I might as well add a few features as well and bargain the price down and get the same payments too.

You will love it. I moved from a 2011 to a 2014 (V8 Citadel). The cosmetic changes are fun, but the real changes are in the engine management (with the 8 speed gear box) and the way the safety features are improved. The new centre console works well and the infotainment centre is excellent.

Have a drive in one and see some of the differences yourself, but other changes really become apparent with use.

I did notice how much smoother the 2014 drives over my 2012, suspension is smoother and shifting is def smoother (thought it was smooth before until I drove the new one) with the 8 speed.

The 8 speed was our deciding factor. A completely different experience.
