You say that, but then you look a bit and realize you can buy a few year old luxury car with all those options for similar money so you don't buy the new basic car.
That's the opposite. I was able to buy a basic vehicle for about the same price as one with all the options. I bought the new one for the better warranty and the fact that it didn't have 50k miles on it already.
Personally, as someone who buys used cars, I always look for the simpler ones. I never consider anything luxury. From a practical standpoint, that just seems like many more features to go wrong on the used car.
