SIL wants an Audi Q3

So, long story short SIL got a promotion and has to give up her company car. looking for a nice new car in the very low 40s. I thought I would post here and see what you guys ( and gals) think..

It’s small. Cross shop with the Tiguan and see if it’s worth the extra nut - to her that is.
You said new. New or CPO is the only way to own an Audi.

My neighbor is an audi salesman... He drives them all, all day every day, and also the VW next door.
Says the Q3 is his least favorite car - the least comfortable of all of the SUVs and recommends stretching to a Q5 or getting something else... His words, not mine. I think the Q3 is cute... The new tiguan is an incredible deal - some are even 7 seaters ! Less pretty for sure, though.

Mrs Crusty drives an Acura RDX with all the options, she likes it. looking at the specs, the q3 doesn't even touch it except poor gas mileage. I think it is interesting the salesman chose the q3 as his least favorite. Is he a tall guy? My SIL is about 6'2".

My son drives an RDX and loves it. Takes it off road on logging roads too. Comfy and sure footed.

My daughter has a 2014 Audi Q5. Low mileage and warranty expires in a year. She likes it. Having said that the Audi Q3 is basically the same with the 2 litre gas engine but smaller.
