Busy ride motions

The Q2 is pleasingly bold on the surface, but plays with a very safe bat beneath it

Pros
Bold styling (for Audi),
should be a doddle to live with

Cons
Not especially fun to drive, few real benefits over an A3

By: 
topgear.com

Pros
Huge scope for personalisation
Stylish, high-quality interior
Great range of engines

Cons
Many rivals are cheaper
Limited kit on entry-level model
Large wheels affect ride comfort

By: 
carbuyer.co.uk

Pros
Spacious interior
Impressive safety kit
Good build quality

Cons
High price
Firm ride on larger wheels
Best features are optional

By:

It can rumble with hot hatches, but does Audi's youth-focussed compact SUV warrant its $50K-plus price tag?

Pros
Performance aplenty
Nice road manners...
... and adroit handling
Silky smooth dual-clutch auto

Cons
Asks for Q3 money
Misses key safety tech
Second row not the last word in comfort
