Many thanks for posting your balanced initial feedback Donkey Oatie. Very interesting as I have both the Q3 1.5 S-Line and X1 20i X-Line on my shortlist. With the options that I would add (Comfort & Sound Pack, Full leather & Ambient Lighting) the Q3 would have most things that I want, other than Adaptive Cruise, Adaptive Headlights, Full Beam Assist & Keyless entry. Specced to a similar level, the X1 would be £1,800 more but obviously has a much more powerful engine and 4WD. Difficult decision so your comments are helpful. I look forward to seeing both cars in the flesh in April.
