Audi A3 (new)

Say hello to the most satisfying compact executive hatch you can own. Finishing 17 places ahead of BMW’s 1-Series, there’s no doubt the A3 is, in your eyes, a better all-round product. You love the build quality and most of the driving experience gets the thumbs- up, with strong brakes and tidy handling. However, the pay-off is a stiff ride.

MANUFACTURER VERDICT

It won’t please Audi to be behind BMW, but it’s ahead of Volvo and Mercedes. Build quality is its best feature – only Lexus and Porsche fared better – but practicality isn’t great.
