The model

Read full review

The Audi A3 Saloon is tidy in the bends, comfortable and well equipped, making it a very competitive option against its closest rivals, the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe and Mercedes A-Class Saloon. However, the A4 is worth the extra if you can afford it, because it’s quieter and has a classier and more practical interior. Likewise, the BMW 3 Series betters the A3 in those areas, and it's also more enjoyable to drive.

The trim

This limited-edition trim includes 19in alloy wheels, black styling details inside and out and Matrix LED headlights, which adapt the main beams so they can remain on and not dazzle other drivers.
