The Audi A3 Saloon impresses with its agility in corners, comfortable ride and respectable fuel efficiency. With its recent mid-life facelift, it now boasts a well-equipped standard equipment list and a sharper, more luxurious interior. However, if you prioritise spaciousness and superior cruising performance, the Audi A4 or BMW 3 Series might warrant the extra investment.

Black Edition introduces a black exterior styling package, 18in wheels and door-mounted LEDs that project the Audi logo on to the ground when exiting the vehicle.

The 148bhp 2.0-litre has more grunt than the 35 TFSI but raw performance is similar, with 0-62mph taking 8.1 seconds.
