How it scores for you10 scores
A genuine have-it-all GT — limousine comfort for four with sports-sedan agility — carrying period tech and the upkeep bill of a six-figure German flagship.
Recalled about as often as cars of the same model years; 1 of its 4 recalls was serious. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Limited history so far, so this score may move as more recalls are filed. Adjusted -4 points for its wider reputation.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $3,200 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 23% of cars we track.
15.7 cu ft of cargo space — among the smallest of the hatchbacks we track.
Vast room for exactly four; the sloping roof trims rear headroom and there is no middle seat.
Startlingly agile for a full-size hatch; V8 and Turbo models are legitimately fast, and the chassis shrinks around you.
The famous button-armada console and small screens read as thoroughly dated now; the early PHEV was ahead of its time.
Four thrones and a supple adaptive ride make it a superb long-distance car.
Luxury brands like Porsche tend to lose value faster than average.
No published tow rating; all- or four-wheel drive available.
