Audi Q3 Thoughts

whynosh

Hi all! (my first post :eek:)

I've been looking into Nissan Qashqais for some time now.
I came across an article in the independent online the other day about the new Audi Q3 and thought it looked gorgeous.

I don't know much about cars so was looking for some advice!
We need a car that will have some space for carting the kids around,
what are peoples' thoughts on the Q3?

Thanks!

Is there a reason you're going for an SUV? Would you consider an estate?

What's your budget? How much space do you need? How many kids & what age?

According to parkers.co.uk the interior space is a little tight so I hope you don't have too many kids to cart around

+1 on the estate suggestion, small SUV's are not as practical as the marketing would have you believe

They're probably AS practical, and most look better then estates too.

That said, I'd have an RS6 avant over a Q7

The Q3 has 460 litres of boot space compared with 490 litres in an A4 estate

I'd buy one of the three of these long before I bought a new Q3:

All three are within budget, pre-owned (probably demo cars), nice little bit of spec on each, still have manufacturer warranty.
