What alternatives should I consider to a used BMW 3 Series hatchback?

Verdict

The BMW 3 Series Compact is a fine-handling, premium-badged hatchback, but it's not as spacious as a VW Golf or Audi A3.

  • The 3 Series Compact is better to drive than its rivals
  • The looks are questionable, while rear leg room is very tight
