2016 BMW 3-Series

The rear seat is a little roomier than the XE's, but I'd prefer a cushion higher off the floor. |

Strong rear-wheel-drive proportions: long hood, front wheel well ahead of the door cut, short deck. |

In the 3 you want the sport seats with their power-adjustable bolsters. |

Largest trunk the the class. But no spare tire beneath its floor. |

Good materials, but could be more cleanly or more dramatically styled. |

Good ergonomics; iDrive is much more user-friendly than in early iterations. But smallish display? |

BMW has long been known for its smooth, powerful inline sixes. The new one even excels at mpg. |

Jaguar's infotainment system remains a generation or two behind the curve in usability. |

Some past BMW sixes have been much prettier when undressed. |

2016 Audi A3 / S3

Highly capable in curves. |

Most elegant from the rear quarter. S3 has four exhaust tips, two per side and one per cylinder. |

The S3's relatively short length is most evident from the side. They disguised it well. |

To some people, the A3's spare interior seems cheap. The more expensive S3 has the same interior. |

Though unrelated mechanically, the S3 looks much like larger Audi sedans, just smaller. |

Audi's reconfigurable instruments. |

Adults will fit much better back here than in the CLA. |

Does the S3's interior look much more upscale than the Golf R's? |
|

The Golf R shares a powertrain and chassis with the S3, but is a hatchback and costs less. |
|

Drooping rear end. Some people like it. I don't. More obviously a high-performance model. |

The AMG CLA45's interior employs cheaper materials, but is more aggressively sporty. |
|
|

Small trunk, but usually enough. |
|

I neglected to photograph the S3's engine. Here's the same engine in a Golf R. Powerful, but laggy. |

This is the 2016. The 2017 has reconfigurable LCD instruments. |
|
|

Cleanly styled to a fault. Round air vents as in the sporty TT. |

The $1850 sport seats look great and provide excellent support, but delete power adjustments. |
