Our car came with the optional £950 Sport pack, which means uprated, lowered and stiffened suspension. Ten-spoke 18-inch wheels (17s are standard) complete the package, but even on these the car looks under-wheeled.

The engine is a little noisier than BMW’s 3.0-litre straight six diesel but it’s also more powerful. The Three has 368lb ft at 1750rpm but the Audi has the same from 1500-3000rpm. Its 237bhp also pips the BMW by six ponies
