Visiting parents this weekend, and some relatives from New York also were here. Took them on a day trip out to the Blue Ridge, me driving my mother's fairly recent 2016 Audi A3 1.8T. 5 hours of total drive time, some autobahn secteurs (130-140+), country roads, mountains, even overtaking 2 other vehicles on a two lane country road with a full load of 4 adults. So a thorough évaluation then......and it's as expected.
The A3 does everything fairly well. Good car, well engineered. It's also the most sterile, soulless expérience I've ever had on wheels. I will never buy an Audi.
