Audi A3

Price: From R259 775

The current A3 is on its way out – a new one will come next year. But there are still lots of features that we like on this car – those gorgeous daytime running lights that have become synonymous with the Audi brand and the sturdy, reversible loadliner on -wheel-drive models (it is uber clever and useful when, for example, transporting wet items, because you can remove it from the car and carry it much like a tray). Assuming you don’t specify some of the rather pricey options, the A3 is also surprisingly well priced.
