The Audi A3 Saloon impresses with its agility in corners, comfortable ride and respectable fuel efficiency. With its recent mid-life facelift, it now boasts a well-equipped standard equipment list and a sharper, more luxurious interior. However, if you prioritise spaciousness and superior cruising performance, the Audi A4 or BMW 3 Series might warrant the extra investment.

Don’t be put off by the fact that Sport is the entry-level trim, because we think it actually gives the best balance of cost and equipment. It comes with plenty of toys, including 17in alloy wheels, power-folding mirrors, rear parking sensors, dual-zone climate control, Audi’s Virtual Cockpit and a 10.1in touchscreen infotainment system with DAB radio, Bluetooth, built-in sat-nav and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone mirroring.

The 148bhp 1.5-litre 35 TFSI is punchy with 0-62mph taking an official 8.1 seconds.
