I suspect people are going to have strongly opposing views on this topic, but I just went through this same debate myself. I wound up getting a 2015, because I couldn't justify the premium on a 2016. Decide for yourself whether Apple CarPlay is something you really want. I don't think there were any significant changes besides CarPlay. Some people think the bugs from the new model year get worked out in the second year, and maybe that's true. Also, I'm not planning to sell it for a really long time, if ever, so the hit to the resale value in getting a 2015 wasn't much of a factor for me.
