Audi A3 2015
Carsguide Contributing Journalist Chris Riley had this to say at the time: Looks like an Audi. Drives like an Audi, but has the ability to deliver amazing fuel economy - what a shame it's so expensive. For the same price you could have the high-performance S3 (I know which one we'd take).
You can read the full review here.This is what Chris Riley liked most about this particular version of the Audi A3: In effect it's three cars in one, Petrol engine automatically used when the battery runs out, Braking energy re-charges the battery
The 2015 Audi A3 carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1600 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.

Which hatch for retirement?
The Golf is great but questionable beyond the warranty, which rules it out for you.
