Personal point of view
Considering your personal needs, budget and brand preference, you can choose according to the following suggestions:
-If you pay attention to personalization, handling performance and sports style, and the space requirements are not too high, the MINI may be more suitable for you.
-If you pay attention to luxury, comfort and interior space, and your budget is relatively generous, Audi Q3 may be a better choice.
I finally picked the Audi Q3, but I always thought the mini was not suitable for girls. The noise is loud, the seat is hard, the steering wheel is heavy, and the maintenance cost of mini is high.
No matter which model you choose, it is recommended to go to the dealer for a test drive, and personally feel the driving experience, interior quality and configuration functions, and refer to the experience of other car owners to help you make a more informed decision.
