What Kind of Car Did The Model 3 Replace?

[Silver Streak]

i am curious cause many prob feel its Prius and Volt/Leaf owners but I have a feeling many sportscar owners switched to the M3.

Please list what car you used to drive or sold to get the model 3 and which model 3 you bought !

I sold my BMW M4 and I’m glad I did... I have r m3 long range but with many mods already .ar

I switched from rear wheel drive M3 to performance M3

How do they compare on wind/road noise? I test drove a Model S briefly but didn't really care for the size. I didn't pay much attention to the noise though. Now that I have the 3 my biggest complaint is the wind/road noise is pretty bad compared to the BMW 340i it replaced.

The guys who installed my sound system told me that the 3 has better acoustics than the S. Apparently they didn't put much in the S for sound dampening.

YMMV

2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek for a 2020 Performance M3. The Sube is very functional; the M3? Just wow.

2014 BMW 435i coupe

The 435i’s pros:
- heated steering wheel
- 6-speed manual can be fun

435i cons:
- very slow compared to the M3P

2013 VW Golf R. We’re waiting on the “drafting of the contract” via Tesla for my wife’s Model Y which will replace her 2011 VW Tiguan. Need to schedule the electrician this week for the second 240v...

2003 honda accord ex-l. Was going to trade it in before buying the car, but it just died before I had to chance to do so...

Going from 2014 Honda CR-V only, to adding 2020 Model 3 LR AWD. Wife will drive to CRV for a year, with my son learning to drive in it, this fall.

Didn't really "replace" anything but I did recently sell 2 cars, which motivated me to purchase a P3D+. I sold my 2007 Audi RS4 (52.5K miles) and 2007 Porsche 911 Turbo (53.5K miles).

I went from a 2012 Kia Soul to a 2018 M3P+!! All I can say is, the M3 is in another universe! It was like going from a kick scooter to a 1000cc crotch rocket!

2012 Prius V to a Performance Model 3. You can say I am quite happy with the upgrade

We also own a 2012 Soul (Exclaim) and it's been a great car. I actually really enjoy driving it.

But wow - yep, that's a HUGE upgrade for you! Enjoy!
