2019 Audi A3 vs Honda Civic

What's the difference?

If there are to be any name changes then surely I should be first? I mean Dick Berry; who calls their son that? Well, they named me Richard, but still...

Anyway, I have more reason to do change my moniker than the Audi A3 1.4TFSI Sedan, which recently had its name changed to the 35 TFSI.

So, what does it all mean?

I'll do my best to solve that riddle, along with giving you the answers to other questions about the A35 TFSI Sedan, from what it's like to drive, to its safety features, and how practical and fuel efficient it is.

Honda's current Civic is a perplexing thing, and I'm not just talking about the profusion of styling features. The range spans from the entry-level VTi to the completely bonkers Type R and the two cars could not be more different.

One step up from the bottom of the line-up is the VTi-S, priced at $25,490. Honda and its competitors are selling boatloads of SUVs but the small hatch/sedan market (it seems to be merging) is still punching away.

The Civic has been with us in its current form for a couple of years now, but it was ahead of the pack in some areas when it first landed. With the arrival of the new Mazda3 and ongoing Korean onslaught, it's worth a quick re-visit to see what's happening with the Civic.
