2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class vs Audi A3

What's the difference?

Unicorns. They exist. The thing is there aren’t many of them and if you want to find one you need to know where to look. 

Now, I don’t normally give secrets away, but I’ll let you know where one is: it’s this 'early release' version of the Mercedes-Benz A 250 4Matic, and chances are you will never see one like this again.
 
See this A 250 4Matic is a sort of early release version of the car because it’s different to the model which will arrive later in 2019 – it’s also more affordable.

So, what’s the catch? We drove this special A 250 4matic at its launch recently to find out, if there was one.

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.
