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
Volkswagen Golf GTI
- Looks like a true hot hatch with its red accents, 18-inch alloy wheels, and red GTI badges.
- The 2-litre TSI engine making 265 PS and 370 Nm offers an exhilarating performance and its goes from 0-100kmph in just 5.9 seconds
- Handles like a pro and feels like it's hugging the road while cornering, which further inspires confidence and elevates your drive experience.

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
Volkswagen Golf GTI
- While the cabin does have soft touch materials, the plastics feel rough and do not feel right in this cabin. Not expected at this price point.
- It misses out on some features like leatherette seats, powered seats, and a branded sound system, all which are offered in much affordable cars.
