    My car

    Bought a 120i SE, having previously owned a 320d coupe (2005 model) and tested the new Audi A3 Cabriolet. The drive, handling and overall feel is vastly superior to the old 320d. I find it nippy, really good fun, great on both country roads and motorways - all in all, very impressive.

    Despite the A3 Cab offering slightly more for the money, it was really no competition in my opinion. This was a fun drive, the A3 felt drab; BMW have the wow factor with the styling, the A3 looks outdated already; and despite what it says in reviews, I found the BMW just as roomy in the cabin, with a much better boot - the A3 boot is a joke as you can't get into it!!

    My advice - buy it and the smile will not leave your face.
