Interested in if the air conditioning stands up to the heat, leather durability in the climate, effectiveness of the seat ventilation if you have it, etc. Even just how the car handles in the area traffic maybe?
Welcome to Scottsdale!

The GT's AC works just great. It's an improvement over our 2016 X5. The X5 had ventilated seats and I found them to be a real disappointment.

Our GT doesn't have ventilated seats (requires luxury seating package), only sport seats.
The rear AC is dual zone and very adequate. Alas, there are no vents in the B-pillar. I don't know if that's for cost savings or due to the fact that frameless windows necessitate a sturdier B-pillar that doesn't have room for ventilation.
