How would, say, the base model 3 compare against a 2 year old base model C or E class? Or the same 2 yeah old Lexus Es350 or Volvo S90? All sitting comfortably in the base model 3's $30k price range.
I've heard the driving experience is definitely better but I have serious doubts that the quality or fit and finish would match.
It doesn’t measure up if you want Luxury or ride comfort. OTOH it excels in commuter traffic and leaving everyone else in the rear view mirror at the lights ;)
