Besides driving it, it's a Very Sweet Sporty Sedan !! Is it better than a 3 Series or A4 or similar ? I think it competes with them like a champ !
A Must to put on your Test Drive List !! And you decide where to spend your hard earned $$

Pros and Cons:
Pros:
- Very Attractive Exterior and Interior Design
- Great fit and finish
- Very Comfy seating
- Very Powerful and Great Handling for it's class as per other reviews
- Lots of features, Value for What it offers compared to it's competitors.
- Has many luxury features, even some luxury brands/models don't have for similar price points.
- Safety tech features work well in Genesis models
- Well Laid out buttons for every day use features.. Not all stuck in some big screen you have to dangerously look for while driving.. Like in the new Subi Legacy/Outback...
- Overall cabin size is actually good for this category.
- Warranty is Better than most !
- Top Safety Pick+ from IIHS testing. See link below
- Consumer Reports gives it 4/5 predicted owner satisfaction and 5/5 predicted reliability, total score of 82,, side note, they give the 202 BMW 3 Series a score of 63

Cons:
- Fuel Economy isn't as good as many competitors, even for models with similar power.
- Cargo space is on smaller side. If it's really only 10.5 cu.ft. I haven't a chance to double check and will update such.
- Rear seats don't fold down and only have a pass-thru (is not uncommon, but nice to have folding option)
- There must be more, but not coming to me now.. I'll update this as I recall.

* Hope to get a driving test drive review on this to follow up with those features and dynamics.
