BMW 228i 2015
Carsguide Contributing journalist Peter Anderson had this to say at the time: The BMW has some pretty stiff competition in the near-brilliant A3 convertible. The 228i is stylish in a different way but has the rear-drive chassis the Audi can't hope to match. There's a genuine choice here but for the driver, the 228i wins easily - the smooth turbo engine and ZF automatic seal the deal.

The 2015 BMW 228i carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1200 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
