Vs Autobild: Audi A3 2.0 TDI vs BMW 120d.

Or drive an A or B-Class.

That's not to say that the BMW 1-Series is a bad car. On the contrary, reviews have shown that it is in fact the sportier alternative to the Audi A3. I just prefer the looks of the Audi over the BMW in this case. Also, the A3 is sporty enough for my needs.

in this case? I cant recall last time you choose a BMw over audi or Mb could be my bad memory though

Before the W203 facelift, I always choose the BMW 3-Series.

Between the BMW X5 and old W163 Mercedes M-Class, I always choose the Mitsubishi Pajero 2500 Intercooler Turbo.

Don't get me wrong, I do like BMW's, but my first love is Mercedes.

A3 is the best car when compared to 1 series just like 3 series is now a better car than Audi A4. Simple as that.

Well, it isn't the same at all. No way the A3 is a similar icon and benchmark in its class as 3 series has been for decades. Your bias is going too far...

Who said that the A3 is not the benchmark? A3 is the car that established the compact luxury segment just like 3 series established the compact luxury sedan segment many years ago.

If you had driven both cars (like i have) you would know which one is the benchmark.

The A3 isn't considered the benchmark in its class the same way 3 series and S-Class are. Neither have I read a single magazine where they would have said so. I've driven the 120d my cousin had and besides the interior space I can't think of anything else where the A3 would be better.
