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.
