Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Audi A3
- Premium interior with great fit and finish quality.
- Long list of features – LED headlights and tail lights, dynamic turn indicators, Audi Multi-Media Interface, panoramic sunroof etc.
- Both engines are fuel-efficient and offer adequate performance.
- Classy, understated design and rock solid build quality.
Honda Civic
- Safety. Four disc brakes, six airbags, and tech like vehicle stability management.
- Stunning design. Makes an impression equivalent to more expensive luxury cars.
- Ride and handling package. Tuned beautifully for India, the Civic laughs at potholes and broken roads while making you grin on the twisties.
- Build quality. A likeable blend of ‘built-to-last’ and luxury makes the Civic feel premium.

Audi A3
- Cabin space, while better than its rival, the Mercedes CLA’s, is quite limited for the price.
- No paddle-shifters offered.
- Dummy buttons on centre console and passenger doors look ungainly.
Honda Civic
- Petrol engine doesn’t get a manual, whereas the commuter diesel doesn’t get an automatic. Limits appeal for enthusiasts and urban commuters.
- Low seating position. Makes getting in and out tiresome for elderly or those with joint aches.
- Missing equipment. Front parking sensors, rear charging socket, electric adjust for co-driver’s seat are some of the bits that should’ve been bundled in.
