2024 Audi Q3 review
The Audi Q3 is a bit of a quiet achiever, and the Sportback version is a bit cheaper than a BMW X2 – but is the 40 TFSI S line the pick?

Anthony Crawford drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- It's the ultimate affordable sleeper with muscular straight-line performance
- Adaptive suspension makes this a delight on long hauls and quick through the corners
- Huge boot and loaded to the hilt with kit
Misses
- A more satisfying engine note would be nice
- Enjoying your Passat 206TSI R-Line comes at a cost at the bowser
- Get used to three-point turns
