There are definitely some changes. The 09 I got was built in Nov 08, so it was a very early model. There was something missing inside the driver door panel that would make the window rattle when it was rolled down and you closed the door. (Passenger side didn't do this.)

Also, the subwoofer in my 09 was definitely wired out of phase. The system in my 16 thumps much more than the 09 did, and I'm pretty sure its the exact same system. Overall, you can tell they've figured out some of the bugs and fixed them.

I've also noticed some small things have changed--gas cap assembly is different, silver fuel gauge has been replaced with a black one, and the wheel well material feels like cloth on the 16 and the 09 was plastic.

I'm not a big fan of the artificial engine noise they pump in to the cabin either. However, it is kind of nice having the active noise cancellation. The inside is much quieter than my 09 was. You can really tell they've added sound insulation.
