Recalls & safety

Whether a recall is still open on a specific car depends on its VIN. Check it free at NHTSA's VIN lookup (nhtsa.gov/recalls), or ask the seller for proof the repair was done.
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).
