We drive the new front-wheel-drive Audi Q3 S baby SUV.
Apart from the super-light steering, the Q3 S drove pretty well and we really didn’t miss the all-wheel-drive traction of its sibling at all. The handling is secure, if uninspiring, and the Q3’s stability at speed is rock solid. It rides well too – the suspension is pliant and handles broken surfaces with a reasonable amount of confidence.
Paring down a luxury car is difficult to do well. Audi has, however, done an excellent job with the Q3 S. It looks really attractive from the outside, the insides still resemble those of a luxury car and the S drives and rides well too. And that's probably why the car is sold out for the next six months.
