Stock radio should be fine, from what I have gathered on this board is that the Bose radios really don't have much of an advantage over the stock radio.
Look for one with Safety package 1 or 2. These will have the backup camera and the radio will have bluetooth.
My commute is 42 miles one-way, since I bought the car in march of last year I have put a little over 20,000 miles on it. 0 defects. Heck I still have over 40% life left on the oil that the car came with.
Over the past year the carpool stickers have been wonderful. They cut about 10-15 minutes off of my commute. But keep in mind the greensticker program only runs to 2020.
These cars LOVE stop and go traffic. Even with the hills I have to drive over I can sometimes get home on just the battery charge if I hit traffic.
The sueded leather seats are nice, especially in the summer but I still haven't figured out how to properly clean them.
Ceramic tint is a must for the summer.
Resale I can imagine is not going to be all that hot after a few years, but you are definitely going to get your value out of the vehicle in just fuel and maintenance savings.
