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.
Small SUVs launch in abundance but thanks to electric power and great interior tech, this is among the most interesting.
Pros Fancy dials, Great petrol engines and a decent EV
Cons Firm (ish) ride, Pricey if you tick too many boxes
The Peugeot 2008 is an SUV you can buy with your heart and your head. It’s cheap to run, easy to drive and has a big boot but, alas, the back seats aren’t that spacious.
Pros Stylish design 3D infotainment display Fun and cheap to run
Cons Noisy diesel Tight back seats Sluggish automatic gearbox
The e-2008 has a great interior that offers a decent amount of space, but the car’s appeal is limited by its high list price and disappointing battery range compared with those of the best rivals.
Pros Refined interior Relatively spacious Impressive build quality
Cons Expensive Rivals have longer range Firm ride
