AI generated from our expert reviews

The Audi A3 Sportback is longer than the Toyota Yaris, can tow more, and offers more room with the back seats folded. In both cars, you must slide the front seats forward to fit a rear-facing child seat. Both interiors are well put together, but they differ in atmosphere. The A3 Sportback has great material quality throughout, while the Yaris is dark and dingy, with ugly textured grey plastics across much of the dashboard. On the motorway, the A3 Sportback is comfortable and quiet, soaking up the miles with no drama, whereas the Yaris proves a little bouncy.
