Hyundai ix35 or Audi Q3 - which should I go for?

Which would you recomend: the 1.7D ix35 Premium or the Audi Q3 2.0 TDI (base model)?

Can you let me know why one is better than the other

I want comfort, reliability, together with reasonable running costs.

The ix35 has a chain cam engine, is likely to be more economical and has a longer warranty. The Audi will hold its value better.

Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.
