What Kind of Car Did The Model 3 Replace?

[MMMGP]

Slightly modified 335is convertible with under 50k miles. I will miss that top down action a little bit.

1986 Porsche 911 Cabrio. Don't really miss it

2008 Lexus IS350. I’ve never bought a new car, so ordering an LR AWD is a different experience!

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 awd m3 long range but with many mods already .

M3 AWD replaced a Toyota Prius
MX 100D replaced a Toyota Sienna

2017 Chevy volt. I loved that car. Will probably buy a used one soon

 

[swale]

Bmw 330e 2017 when tesla 3 arrives in March hopefully

my wife's Model 3 replaced her 2012 Honda Accord Coupe v6. She loves the Model 3

Will be replacing a 2016 Dodge Challenger SRT392 redline red, black interior with red seat belts,hellcat air intake, billet catch can, Barton short throw shifter, 3D spider mats, and husky trunk mats with 20k mi. 2nd set of tires. Always hand washed and garage kept, never saw wet weather. M3 is not going to get the same amount of love coz it's going to be driving kids around.

2011 Infiniti G37 AWD to Model 3 Perf. The Infiniti was bulletproof - literally zero repairs after 70K miles. However, the AWD model wasn’t as engaging handling-wise and the engine/trans occasionally had some serious lag. The car looked really dated.

Now I feel like I have a 4-door supercar that doesn’t need. Love it.

2016 VW GTI Autobahn with 87,000 miles to 2020 P3D+ ... still have the GTI though, as I love that car, and will be my beater from now on!

While I don’t have my Model 3 yet (scheduled to pick up on Friday), I’m replacing my daily driven 2016 Corvette Stingray.

Model 3 Performance is replacing an F80 M3 ('18). Prior to M3, there were a few modified S4s/S3s. Hoping I don't miss that visceral component of the driving experience!

The poor Volts. I had a 2011, and I still think it was an awesome car that in many ways is more advanced and better thought out than my Model 3. It definitely had better build quality and customer service. But alas, it couldn't overcome being tainted from being caught in the crossfire of silly government political battles.

More importantly it was never sold properly to the masses. I can't tell you how many Chevy salespeople didn't even understand the concept of switching to gas after the battery ran out

[Xambler]

2008 BMW X5. Most unreliable and expensive to maintain car I’ve owned aside from brief stint into a 1997 jaguar xk8.

2010 Honda Civic > 2015 Lexus IS350 F-Sport > 2018 Tesla Model 3 (LR)

 

[jeremymc7]

Replaced supercharged Audi A7.

Trade in and EV rebates pretty much covered the M3 LR AWD.

I traded in my 2017 Legacy 3.6R (tungsten) for my Model 3 LR-AWD (red). This is faster and handles better but the Subaru was not bad for what it is. Tesla was generous with my trade by giving me what seemed to be book value. The only pictures they asked for, IIRC, were of the odometer.

The Model 3 joins our 2019 Subaru Ascent (also red) with 7 seats for when our son and his family visit.
