My point is that specs differ between SE and S Line, so without knowing the full spec of both cars, the OP doesn't contain enough info to make a judgement call.

The full spec of both cars is available on the Audi website, they are new factory order cars?

But what if it's a Tecnik, a Tecnik dammit!

Oooops double post.

Aye the Q3 inside is much smaller than you'd think.

Have you been in a Q3? I can't say it's a jacked up A1. It's about 30cm longer than the 5 door A1, its the same as the A3 sportback.

Yes, in the last 2 years my company has bought pretty much every quattro model there is, with the exception of an RS6.

The Q5 shares it's platform with the Skoda Yeti and VW Tiguan. The Q3 is smaller than any of those. Inside, it's much more A1 than A3.

Then it's a run-out special edition?

And it's a Technik. As in loch.

I don't think the suspension changes on the Q3 when changing spec.

S-line suspension is stiffer and 20mm lower than the SE.

Thanks for all the replies! Very helpful indeed.

I'll certainly be going along for a test drive in both models.

I may have been being too subtle.

How much is the down payment on the Q3's? I'd have the S-line, SE looks fairly basic imo.

As for the SE Teknic argument on the A4, they come very well specified, and when Wohoo on here got his, it was cheaper to have a SE Teknic specced with the LED DRL etc than it was to spec up a S-Line with the fancy Satnav and DAB.This was back in 2012 though.

I was obviously being FAR too subtle. Loch is the German for hole. I'm sure you can guess what Arschloch is.

Is that a Motability specific query, if not then Audi do a PCP product with no deposit. It obviously bumps up the monthly payments though.

On Motability:

S-line £1,899
SE £1,799

I will have my £250 good condition bonus to go towards that aswell.
