I would say of you don't care about losing the seats and aren't really into performance than a no line car is fine for most.

Thank you for the input. I'm the same way, I absolutely NEEDED the sports seats. My sister's definitely not into performance at all, aside from just needing the ability to easily merge on the highway or hurry up after a stoplight.

I like that both front seats have lumbar support...although that may be with the premium package only. I am not a fan of the coated leather...but that is in either version.

Thanks for your opinion! It seems like the base seats aren't as universally hated as I originally thought. Yes, my sister would be getting the premium package, which comes with power seats + lumbar (only the power seats have the lumbar support, which I think is more important for a long drive or an aching back, versus the side bolsters).
I'm glad you're enjoying your car - it makes me feel better about my sisters decision against the sport pack. She definitely doesn't do any sort of performance driving, just needs to get around and have a bit of fun while she's at it.
