Which level of equipment do you tend to be most interested in. Nothing but the essentials? Mid-level, with perhaps leather, nav, and/or sunroof? Or all boxes checked?

I ask because the cars I test can be any of these. The Hyundai Tucson I tested a few weeks ago was the base-level SE. The Mazda CX-3 I have this week is the mid-level Touring. Others have been fully loaded.

One thing that bugged me about both the Tucson and CX-3 is that they lacked higher trim levels’ larger wheels, and so don’t look nearly as good as they could in my photos. Which wheels would you want on your car, the ones with less expensive, harder-to-damage, softer-riding tires, or the ones that handle the sharpest and make the car look its best?
