Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

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
- Comfortable ride quality. Deals with broken roads confidently.
- Potent 2.0-litre TSI + 7-speed DSG combo: pocket rocket if you want it to be!
- Practical and spacious cabin for a family of four.

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.
Audi Q3
- No diesel engine on offer.
- 360° camera, ventilated front seats, ADAS should’ve been included at the price.
