Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Audi Q3 Sportback
- Sportier styling than the Q3 thanks to coupe-SUV styling
- Big boot space which can be increased with flat-folding rear seats
- Comfortable ride quality
- Engaging and fun to drive 2-litre TSI and 7-speed DSG combination
- Compact dimensions make it easier to drive around the city
- Practical enough for a family of four people
Skoda Octavia RS
- Handles like a sports car: The steering is direct and progressive while the chassis feels like it can take on more
- Performance: Smooth and easy in the city, but quick and exciting when you want to have fun
- Super practical: Has enough storage spaces inside the cabin and a big boot for a long vacation
- Sleeper design: Doesn’t look overly aggressive, but is immediately recognizable to the people who know

Audi Q3 Sportback
- Could have looked even better with brighter colour options and flashier wheels
- Features like ventilated front seats with memory function and 360-degree camera still missing
- No diesel engine on offer like its rivals
Skoda Octavia RS
- Ride quality: Can be too stiff for our broken roads
- Ingress egress is super inconvenient with a low roof that requires you to duck a lot.
- Rear seats: Adequate space, but the limited sense of space makes it feel claustrophobic
- Sound: Engine and exhaust sound a little muted for a performance-oriented car
