Got to snoop around one today, very nice, great proportions and stance. Much better in the flesh than in photos. If I was in the market for a premium hatch I'd walk straight past the 1 series and A3 and have a good look.

Suggested the misses get one but she says we can't afford it.
It is a huge improvement on the previous models.

Had a Sport model collected on Friday. Fantastic looking car, but not exactly value for money.

I also really do not like the centre screen. Looks like a tablet mounted on a bracket and I can see the car being broken in to and someone trying to nick that.

Big money alright, so many good cars at the price range.

think I picked up a mag on way back from uk few weeks ago about the new german hatches, audi seemed to be fair bit cheaper than the competition...

The A45 Amg is putting out 355bhp from a 2 litre turbo which will be some goer.
