AUDI Q3 2012 – 2020

  By ,

The Audi Q3 small-medium crossover SUV arrived in Australia in March 2012. It has an almost coupe-like profile that has become increasingly common in crossovers.

Try out the rear seat headroom is a little limited. Children are usually fine, but if they are approaching teenage years take them along for your pre-purchase test drives. Ride comfort is good and… Read more

AUDI SQ2 – A LITTLE TEMPTATION GOES A LONG WAY

  By ,

If the Audi R8 supercar could be called a beast, by the same token, the SQ2 small sports utility vehicle, by the German maker, surely earns the title little devil. The figures speak for themselves. The R8 quattro serves up 449 kW and 560 Nm, launching the car from rest to 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds, the SQ2 quattro 221 kW and 400 Nm, a tad over a second slower. Unremarkably, cost is $395,000 (R8) against $64,400 (SQ2), plus on-roads, but who’s counting? With a worldwide shift to SUVs, after… Read more
