Summary
What does this car say about you?
You are paying for the Audi badge but its definitely worth it. I think it says I have good taste but without being too showy.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Everyone seems to like this car, I've had no negative comments at all.
Would you buy this car again and why?
One minor issue is the boot size but it is a small car so this isn't really a complaint. Next time I might look to buy something slightly larger but other than that I would definitely buy this car again.
What are you likely to buy next?
Possibly something slightly larger, perhaps an Audi A3 or Golf.

I leased this car and the lease prices seemed very good.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Fantastic to drive, excellent road holding and rides really well. Good on the motorway but also very good round town. Some of the switchgear is badly placed and you struggle to find without taking your eyes off the road,.
What's it like to park?
Really easy to park. Its a small car and the visibility is very good. I don't have parking sensors and I have no problems at all.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
I have had no issues with this car, its been totally flawless.
What's most practical about your car?
I'd definitely buy the 5 door (Sportback) version of this car rather than the 3 door. My wife has the 3 door and its much less practical. The doors are much bigger on the 3 door and it can be awkward to get in and out in tight spaces, no such problem with the 5 door.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The bluetooth phone connectivity and the ability to play music direct from my phone through the bluetooth connection. I also like the driver interface to the media options and other car setup features via the centre display.
