I want to replace my Audi with something quieter - what do you recommend?
I've owned three Audis and am now looking to replace my A3 Sportback Sport with something that will still give me some driving enjoyment, but with a much quieter ride. Can I stick with Audi (I'm considering the A4 or A5) or should I look at other makes? My budget is around £25,000 and the car should be no smaller than an A3 and no bigger than an A5.

The new Mazda 6 Skyactiv is astonishingly quiet and features the very latest technology, far in advance of anything Audi is producing. Our road test is here: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/mazda/mazda-6-2013...t

Quality feel from behind the wheel. More practical and spacious than standard A3. Impressive choice of engines including excellent TFSI turbocharged petrols.

Nimble and agile handling. Spacious cabin is very well made. Huge improvements to refinement and steering from October 2016.
