I'm puzzled about why it's not a hatchback. I think that's going to be problematic.

The interior is a little odd, but I suspect it will grow on you as you get used to it. One nice thing--map pockets! They've also gone with an integrated center console, which (now that I am used to the Model S) I actually don't prefer. But the simple dash opens the interior up again and makes up for the console intrusion.

One other thing I noticed; no fixed piston calipers on the rear (though the front still seems to have them).
I'm with you. I really like having a hatch on my S, and the non-hatch on the 3 will make it a hard sell especially in Europe.

I'm pretty sure I'll want to sit in one before I decide to order -- and I was told that the Tempe (AZ) showroom will have demonstrators by late summer. Unfortunately, I'm now in Ohio...
