My SE is what is called “Classic” in the Canadian market. It’s the base model for North America. I will do anything to avoid a sunroof, and it was the only way for me to get one without.
We ran some numbers. A similarly equipped Premium + S ICE would be $4800 less than the Classic SE base model. With the $5000 Canadian Federal rebate, the SE will then come in under the price of the S. Total Cost of Ownership will then continue as the SE will not need Petrol, brakes or oil.
