My Wife drives an SEL. It has decent power, quiet, handles well. No issues with the Continental tires on wet or dry pavement. It gets just over 22 mpg on highway drives, averages about 16.5 with her mostly lead foot in city driving.
Our only complaint is the seat material gets dirty quite easily. It has a sunroof but I haven't noticed any noise from that area. She just passed 10K, seems good so far.
