Audi A3 Sportback 35 TFSI: Premium in a Compact Package

The Audi A3 Sportback 35 TFSI presents an interesting dilemma: at R649,900, it costs R120,000 more than a Golf 8 GTI while producing 70kW less. What you get instead is Audi''s Virtual Cockpit, an interior that feels genuinely premium and the four-ring badge that some buyers value over performance metrics. On Cape Town''s roads, the 1.4-litre 110kW engine is entirely adequate; the S tronic DSG keeps it in the right gear.
