Audi S3 sedan

Initially it didn't seem to make much sense - why would you buy an S3 sedan when the S4 is bigger and arguably better looking. But after a couple of hundred kilometres in the car it was abundantly clear that this isn't just a shrunken A4 - it has a character all of its own. And that character is addictive. It's comfortable, it's very fast, it's sharp as a butcher's cleaver and above all, it makes sense. Those saved kilogrammes make a world of difference to the feedback, agility and all-round hunker-downness of the car. It rates as one of the best drives this year, and easily the most liveable compact in a long time.

Just not in faded orange.
