Don’t we all love to take our laptops to Starbucks to meet like-minded people on line?

But! Is the Qoros 3 Hatch cool enough for the business? Parked here straight in front of empty coffee tables. The Starbucks (no password!) WiFi signal probably isn’t strong enough outside. The Qoros 3 Hatch helps. The vehicle is equipped with a permanent internet connection using a system called ‘Qoros Cloud’. You can connect your mobile devices to it, but only via Bluetooth, and that is like, you know, like, so 2002.
