Mercedes-Benz GLA vs Audi Q2 - which is best?
I’m considering buying a 12-month-old SUV. I've narrowed my choice to the Mercedes-Benz GLA or Audi Q2. Which car would you recommend?

Both good choices. We'd recommend the Mercedes GLA, though - it feels a bit newer (the Q2 has been on sale largely unchanged since 2016). Also consider the excellent new BMW X1, if it's within budget.
