I never understood why people make this comparison, they are in the same market at BMW 3s, Audi 3/4, and such. Sorry, but if you have been in them they are of similar quality, let alone road noise. Spartan modern interior does not equate to cheap. When I first drove the TM3 home I was worried about the lack of individual controls but totally forgot the concern before my forty mile trip home completed. Now each car I look at I wonder, what were we thinking, forty plus buttons and some combined with byzantine touch screen controls, as being a good idea. My test to everyone is always the same. Put a sticky on every button in your car, you will be surprised how many there are, then take them off as you use the control. How many days if not weeks before even half are gone?
