By: 
topgear.com

high starting price.

By: 
caranddriver.com

Pros
Fun to drive
Great engine choice
Expressive style
Fairly spacious for being so small

Interior not as adventurous
Costly adaptive cruise
Not as interesting as it could have been

By: 
thecarconnection.com

Pros
Distinctive looks that hardly hurt space.
Refined powertrains. Strong cornering/ride compromise.
Well-executed interior
