Recalls & safety

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Engaging rear-drive (or AWD) chassis with sharp, well-balanced handling that rivals German sport sedans.
  • Refreshed 2022+ styling with a larger, sharper 10.25-inch touchscreen and more standard equipment.
  • Available twin-turbo 3.3T V6 delivers genuinely quick, eager acceleration.
  • Strong value: high standard content and a long warranty for less money than comparable BMW/Audi rivals.

Cons

  • Tight rear seat and a small trunk make it less practical than mainstream midsize sedans.
  • Headlight condensation is a recurring niggle on the facelifted cars.
  • Mediocre fuel economy from a small tank means short range, and all engines require premium gasoline.
  • Steep first-owner depreciation (which works in a used buyer's favour).
