I would go for the RS3 !

Some of you have a different view on 'compact' than me.
This is my compact sports car. Honestly one of the best cars I have ever owned.
And all in all , the car I like driving most. Not available in the US unfortunately.


M135i soon to be replaced by the M140i.

We don't have them in hatchback form as that's not popular over here but we do have them in coupe form.

You mentioned "small island" in a previous post. In this case I think your choice of car depends somewhat on the servicing available unless this "small island" has adequate servicing for all the cars you are considering.
