I fell in love with this car, but what are the pros and cons you guys have about it?

-Heavy
-Slow by modern standards
-Not very practical if you carry lots of people and/or stuff
-Most expensive car in its class (unless you count the 500L)
-Expensive to maintain
-Often expensive to insure if your insurance considers it a "luxury" car
-Understeer, understeer everywhere
-Lots of systems designed in "modules" where you have to replace a whole system in stead of a tiny part if something breaks
-Designed to be non-intuitive to work on to keep you using dealership service

>wants pros and cons
>is on Veeky Forums
>probably newfag who doesn't know what redpill is
>at least he didn't make another fucking redpill thread

I mean this is a non-patronizing way but Reddit would probably answer your question better.

-Heavy
>irrelevant
-Slow by modern standards
>average
-Not very practical if you carry lots of people and/or stuff
>no shit it's not a truck
-Most expensive car in its class (unless you count the 500L)
Just completely wrong
-Expensive to maintain
LOL no, it's average
-Often expensive to insure if your insurance considers it a "luxury" car
Wrong again, you are just saying shit now
-Understeer, understeer everywhere
True
-Lots of systems designed in "modules" where you have to replace a whole system in stead of a tiny part if something breaks
This is a lot of modern cars, it's not 1985 anymore
-Designed to be non-intuitive to work on to keep you using dealership service
Wrong.

pros:
comfy inside, nice materials, quick, can be tuned for a lot more power
cons:
completely numb, feel hardly any connection to the road, doesn't feel like a hot hatch anymore

i guess it sort of just feels like what you might expect a low end audi to feel like. luxurious in it's class sure, but not a drivers car anymore.

too small for me

>i guess it sort of just feels like what you might expect a low end audi to feel like
The A3, Audi's lowest-end model in the US, is literally a Golf. Go figure.

It looks a lot better than the Civic Si.
It is a lot faster than the Acura ILX
It doesn't look like an aspirational douchemobile like the A4, bmw 1/2 series, or that fwd Mercedes shitbox.
Probably very reliable and practical compared to the mini or fiat 500.
Mazda doesn't have anything that competes very well power wise anymore without the MS3.


For a "kinda premium" and "kinda sporty" you can't go wrong. Very nice cars, but the reliability and dealer issues are a reality and not a meme. If you don't plan on owning the car for more than a handful of years, and live in close proximity to the dealer, I don't see why you wouldn't jump on it. I was inches from a new GTI back in 08 but got an offer to buy a new TSX 6mT that I couldn't refuse. That worked out well since I kept it for almost a decade, but if I had bought the GTI I would had been just as happy, except woudlnt have had kept it so long.
