Audi Q3 Sportback Edition 1 (Comfort and Sound Pack) 35 TFSI 150PS S Tronic auto 5d Owner Review

Only driven this in the summer so I’m interested to see if I experience the interior ice problem detailed by a previous reviewer. So far, so good. Attractive car that draws attention from many. People comment on the colour - dew silver - as the tone changes according to the light. Smart interior too that’s built to the same high standard as the exterior. Drives nicely but the suspension is firm on 20” wheels. Adaptive suspension would’ve been a good option with hindsight and there’s a slight lag at low revs when taking off that takes a bit of getting used to (MHEV technology to blame I’m told) but it’s not a major problem. Audi Drive Select doesn’t seem to make a lot of difference when driving. I’ve tried them all and have settled on the Efficiency mode which still allows a decent increase in speed when required. The Edition 1 I bought has the matrix LED headlights which are brilliant but there are no USB sockets for those in the rear seats which is disappointing for a car second only to the fully equipped Vorsprung. Virtual Cockpit is very good offering a view of the satnav in front of the driver as well as on the centre screen. Overall it oozes quality and I’m pleased I bought it.
