You can also have drift mode and an even better soundtrack in a small Audi

Surely every IT professional or junior solicitor’s dream hatch?


I love that green!

Yes, I guess it does. An attempt to get some visual fizz going. They’d probably prefer you to say it looks a bit Lamborghini.
But the newer Skodas look very Audi and there’s a lot of crossover going on with all the crossovers and everyone wants a crossover nowadays.

I expect the Rozzers will be buying a few of these though perhaps not in green...........

That is approx 9-billion times more functional and attractive than the mk8 Golf's system (IMO, of course).  Maybe VAG are trying to upsell us from VWs into Audis now!

Something about the S3 I didn't like much... can't really put a finger on it though.

The RS3 looks much better but £££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££

Ditto.  Due to my fatwa over the mk8's driver interface.
