If you are on a tighter budget but still want a modern experience, consider these years:
2017 was a turning point as it introduced the updated Uconnect infotainment system with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto .
This was a major refresh year with sleeker styling and the debut of the 8-speed automatic transmission as standard across the lineup. It is significantly more refined than 2014 and older models.
Early 7th-gen models had significant alternator failures that could cause the car to shut down while driving, along with cooling system leaks.
