    CarExpert Rating
    Good
    The A3 TFSI quattro 150kW seems to suffer from middle-child syndrome, offering plenty of foundational goodness but lacking the efficiency of its entry-level sibling while being unable to match the performance and street cred of the hotter S3 that isn't all that more expensive.

    Pros

    • Hot-hatch DNA, sleeper looks
    • Refined on-road manners, tech
    • Sedan's boot gains over Sportback

    Cons

    • Pricey options should be standard
    • Steering feel, theatre lacking
    • Uninspiring in as-tested spec
