Comparison Review

Comfort
The Audi A3 offers rear passengers about the same space to stretch out as the INFINITI Q50 with comparable rear head- and legroom in both vehicles. The INFINITI Q50 will be a favorite with taller drivers due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Audi A3.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Audi A3 as you will with the INFINITI Q50, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Based on MSRP, the Audi A3 is clearly a better financial choice over the INFINITI Q50.

Dimensions
The Audi A3 is about the same width as the INFINITI Q50. If you go with the Audi A3, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the INFINITI Q50.

Handling
The Audi A3 has a smaller turning radius than the INFINITI Q50, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Audi A3 is significantly less powerful than the INFINITI Q50. The good news is that, reportedly, cars with lower horsepower engines often have lower insurance premiums.

Powertrain
The Audi A3 has much less torque than the INFINITI Q50, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.
