CarTell take
We haven't driven the 3 yet. On paper, touchscreen is no-touch while driving, which can frustrate buyers used to tap input. The rotary controller takes adjustment.
Why consider it
- Cabin quality is segment best, premium feel under $40,000, and the sedan is one of the best-looking in the class.
What to know
- No hybrid option, fuel use of 6.2 L/100 km trails Corolla HEV.
- The hatch boot of 295 L is also small for the class.
Who it suits
Small-car buyers who value design, cabin quality and the way it drives over hybrid efficiency. The 2.5L is worth the step up from the 2.0L.
