WTF? I should have gotten a 3 Sky-Activ hatch! I would have paid 3K more, which I think is worth it. It was in the 30s this morning and the 2's interior rattles came out in full symphony!
The 3 had just as many rattles. Try driving with the windows partially down on a second gen 3. They rattle like their tracks are broken. I traded my 2012 3s hatch with 30k miles for a 2013 2 touring, and I'm very happy with my choice.
