Reviews SummaryWe’d forgotten just how terrific the Audi A4 can be. The compact luxury sports sedan is over half a decade old now. After a week-long stint in the US equivalent of a 2022 Audi A4 Technik 45 TFSI, we’re reminded of the A4’s fundamental appeal. From its rock-solid structure to its modern technology, nothing about the 2022 A4 telegraphs the car’s age. The A4 remains an excellent choice in a luxury sports sedan. | |
Reviews SummaryThe all-new, redesigned 2022 Audi S3 sedan finds a balance between the comparably restrained A3 and the over-the-top Audi RS 3 (the latter of which is no longer sold in Canada), delivering an optimal blend of performance, comfort, luxury, and technology. Despite its entry-level positioning, the S3 exceeds expectations and makes for a smart purchase for spirited drivers, so long as they keep an eye on options. | |
