The 2019 Audi RS 3 comes with all wheel drive. Available transmissions include: 7-speed automated manual.Minor adjustments to package features.Fixed sport suspension now available as stand-alone option.
Pros Potent acceleration and heaps of traction Well-trimmed cabin Enough practicality to serve everyday use Attractive, easy-to-use infotainment system
Cons Snug back seat and small cargo area Ride quality might be too firm for casual drivers Front seats sit too high for tall occupants Some driver assistance systems, such as adaptive cruise, are optional
Overall, an excellent car, even considering the high price given the size. It has a well-rounded set of features, and when performance is taken into account, some would even argue that it is good value for money. Definitely well worth a drive!
pros Excellent power and performance; Five-cylinder exhaust sound is unique; Interior fit and finish typical high Audi quality; Chuckability around tight roads; Sharp looks both inside and out
Cons Turbo lag (which may be a pro for some!); Transmission logic in Comfort mode; Software bugs in engine and transmission control units; Lack of electric seat adjustability; No puddle lights
Pros Awesome turbo five-cylinder, planted yet playful chassis, lovely cabin.
Cons More engine noise please, big price for a small car, cramped back seat.
The 2021 BMW X4 is a crossover worth coveting, though our money would be on the more practical, cheaper, and really not much different X3.
Pros Willing turbocharged engines Balanced handling Excellent interior tech Lots of available safety gear M versions especially fun
Cons Mega price tag So-so cargo space So-so rear-seat human space Style not for everyone
Newly standard equipment includes SiriusXM satellite radio, Android Auto compatibility, and several driver-assistance features. There are also some changes to the various option packages.The M40i’s turbocharged inline-six is impressive, but the 30i’s turbo four-cylinder provides plenty of power.
Pros Entertaining to drive, two powerful engine choices, design-forward exterior.
Cons Costs more than the X3, less cargo space than X3, tighter on rear-seat room than X3.
No significant changes for 2021.
Pros Both available engines are smooth, powerful and fuel-efficient Easy personalization thanks to abundant standard and optional features Impressive handling for an SUV
Cons Sloping roofline compromises rear headroom and cargo space
