Look wise it's personal but engineering wise it's quite the bullet. For me it's 1) m135i 2) golfr 3) a45 4)s3

The new Golf R and the Audi S3 shares the platform, the engine, and almost everything except the chassis and some interior parts. So we already know what to expect from WV. |
they share the chassis too. the interiors are usually totally different.
what's important to remember about Audi and VW is that even when they share platforms, they engineer their cars very differently. Audi focus on traction and rigidity, whereas VW generally focuses more on making the car feel lighter than it is. Hence they will feel different when you're driving them.
I had the first allocation/deposit in this country for an upcoming S3 sedan and cancelled it to buy a 135is----why? because I'd rather have a bit of fun than have never ending traction!
I had considered a CLA45 AMG but don't really like the way it looks....and really didn't want a 4 cylinder (have owned many 4 bangers). I feel like the CLA AMG is a very nice car----but lacks some imagination. It's like MB tried too hard to create something a bit crazy like the 1M....but I guess I should reserve total judgement til I drive one.
