Perfectly pleasant, but you need to badly want Audi-ness to choose it over a Mini

Audi’s supermini, a poshed-up VW Polo underneath. It competes with the likes of the Mini and DS 3, meaning the sales pitch is on a premium cabin plus heaps of options and trim combos. It’s available in three- and five-door formats (the latter is dubbed ‘Sportback’).

The mid-life facelift has brought a very slight frontal restyling (we’re talking ‘slight’ as in ‘you’ll probably consider it slight of hand by Audi’), new top-end and navigation and connectivity options, and a suite of revised engines that improve performance and ease of use with less drinking and emitting.
