We have owned 5 A3's (2006,2007, 2011, 2015, 2018) and recently bought a 2022 228i GC. In my opinion, the 228 blows away the A3 in acceleration, braking, and cornering. And, by the way, the last A3 we owned had the sport suspension, 19 inch wheels.......The engine in the A3 is crude sounding and has noticeable turbo lag. Dollar for dollar, the 228 also provides more content than the A3. I also own a 2018 M240i and do not mind, at all, driving my wife's 228.
