-Saved $4,500 (M Sport package price in Canada)
-19" All season tires, quite good for where I live all-season long, incl. winter
-Cheaper to replace 19"s
-Comfortable highway driving with regular suspension and 19" wheels
-Kids terrorizing the interior, much prefer standard interior with sport steering wheel
-Running boards for the kids, elderly
-Added 3rd Row seat for the "in law" visits
Some of this will vary by country too.. In the US, M Sport comes with 19's with all-season tires unless you upgrade to the 20's. M sport is $4500 here, but the X-line is 2500, so savings would really only be 2000. And you can add the 3rd row to an M sport (again, at least in the US you can).
