PRICE:
£27,000

FOR

|
AGAINST
The ride is firm and the steering a little short on feel, but the biggest problem is the sky-high price

IN THE CABIN |
Performance
The 261bhp engine provides explosive performance
|
Buying & owning
Expensive to buy; residuals aren't great
|
Behind the wheel
Supportive seats; dash could be clearer
|
Ride & handling
Barely loses grip, but steering disappoints
|
Quality & reliability
Up to Audi's usual high standards
|
Space & practicality
Roomy in the front; three-door has less rear space
|
Refinement
Engine noise is both a strength and a weakness
|
Safety & security
Scores well for each
|
Equipment
Reasonable, but no more than that given the price
