Audi A3 35 TDI Technik 5dr S Tronic Review
Category: Family car
Section: Version review
There's no doubt the latest A3 isn't as well finished inside or as polished overall as the previous model, but it still rates well against the premium competition in the form of the BMW 1 Series and Mercedes A-Class. It's comfortable, good to drive, roomy, quiet, with some punchy petrol and diesel engines and a plug-in option coming soon, all of which should stick it on your shopping list.

35 TDI is noticeably stronger than the 30 TDI, proving particularly relaxed on motorway runs
