My Audi love-affair ... .
I've been driving Audi's since the mid-eighties and they have come to a point where they beat every BMW and Mercedes when it comes to interior-quality.
I would say it's construction and materials they use that makes them a bit better IMO ... though i have to admit Mercedes is doing a hell of a job the last couple of years, i really like the new A-class's interior.
For the moment i would put Audi and Mercedes at the top narrowly followed by BMW .... (i'm not considering RR, Aston Martin etc . here off course).
The reality however is the fact i'm quite happy with my plastic interior of my Renault ... the driving experience simply doesn't make me think about the quality of the interior 
... actually i just took my wife's 11 year old X-type Jag for a spin ... and i really felt like a rich man LOOOOL .... .
... actually i just took my wife's 11 year old X-type Jag for a spin ... and i really felt like a rich man LOOOOL .... .As i told you before that if i had to buy a new car within my budget it would be the new A3 ... but in reality i would go for a secondhand car ... something like a right hand drive 4 year old X-type station wagon diesel for a fraction of the price of the A3 .... .

PuristSPro LA Auto Show - Audi Launches The New S3/A3
A lot of BMW purists will say the latest 3-series is too big. In fact, the latest 3-series sedan is almost equivalent in size to the BMW 5-series sedan from two generations ago (the E39 series made from 1995 to 2003). With each generation, cars are gettin...
The first reaction is to change
my wife's Mini to that. Right after a four wheel drive version will be available. A beautiful 2nd car for a family! Best, Kari
I do believe an AWD car will be immediately available...
The ones that I saw at the car show all were AWD versions. Don't know if they'll roll them out with AWD versions right away, but definitely in the pipeline. Why do you like the A3 more than the Mercedes-Benz CLA?
I have never had a MB
but 18 new BMW. My attitude has always been that MB is grandfather's car. I have been driving Mercedes several times and once a rented a brand new one in South Africa. I drove some 4,000 km and that E-Type was terrible. Audi is in my opinion much more "sp...
Hmm, Got it...
I've generally liked most of the cars I've driven from MB, BMW, and Porsche. Audi, I have many different things I like and dislike about them; usually slow steering ratios, overly firm suspensions, and while they have nice interiors, the interior material...
The interior ...
... of the new A/S3 has an astounding quality ... i found that out myself a couple of weeks ago ... . If i was in for a new carb within my budget i think i'd opt for an A3 ... maybe the 2 litre TDI with 150 hp .... . Bim
Glad you like it!
Audi always has a nice way of making the interior very comfortable. Do you find that Mercedes-Benz interiors and BMW interiors lack the same quality? Is the quality more due to the craftsmanship and construction or the design? Or both?

From your pictures, this new Audi A3/S3 looks much longer
That's one thing I don't like about cars these days. Each model seems to slowly morph larger and longer with each update. Why can't car manufacturers just keep the same size? Is it because the growing larger engines force these brands to make larger cars?...
Continued Betterment and Planned Obselence
Engineers probably have egos that dictate the car must be better than its predecessor. Furthermore, corporations often dictate their agendas of how the car should improve (to them bigger size equals better) to keep up with competition. At one point, cars ...
