Tradeoffs
The base 430i engine, while efficient, may not feel particularly thrilling for performance enthusiasts.
Rear headroom can be limited for taller passengers due to the sloping roofline.
Higher-than-average insurance costs compared to some segment rivals.
The long, flat hood can make judging the front of the car challenging during parking.
What you might regret
