Dorset Chamber’s Ian Girling Test Drives the Audi Q3 at Poole Audi
Poole Audi was delighted to welcome Ian Girling, Chief Executive of Dorset Chamber, to experience the impressive Audi Q3 first-hand.
Renowned for its blend of advanced technology, premium comfort and confident performance, the Audi Q3 quickly made a strong impression during Ian’s visit.
First Impressions
From the moment he set off, Ian noticed just how much technology the Audi Q3 has to offer.
“It’s full of technology. It takes a few minutes to familiarise yourself with everything, but once you set off it all becomes intuitive and straightforward.”
“It delivers exactly the quality and reassurance you’d expect from an Audi. The driving position feels natural and supportive, with excellent visibility and comfort for both driver and passenger,” Ian said.
During the drive, Ian also experienced several features that his current car doesn’t include, such as Active Lane Assist. While he noted the hybrid braking felt slightly firmer
than expected, he found the overall stability, control and confidence on the road to be excellent.
Driving Feel & Performance
Out on the road, the Audi Q3 delivered the smooth and composed performance Audi drivers know and appreciate.
The vehicle felt stable and responsive, with confident handling and reassuring acceleration. Ian quickly felt at ease behind the wheel, highlighting how naturally the Q3 performs in everyday driving situations.
Technology & Features
Inside the cabin, Ian explored the Audi Virtual Cockpit and infotainment system, which combine advanced functionality with a clear, user-friendly layout.
Driver assistance features also played a key role in the experience. Automatic lights, helpful alerts and intuitive sensors all worked seamlessly to make the drive easier and more convenient.
One feature that particularly stood out was the ambient lighting, along with the glowing Audi logo projected when parking, a small but distinctive detail that adds an extra touch of sophistication.
Comfort & Design
Stepping inside the Audi Q3, Ian was pleasantly surprised by how spacious the interior felt.
“The car feels bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside. The seats are very comfortable, and the cabin feels very premium.”
High-quality materials, thoughtful design and a clean, modern layout all contribute to a cabin that feels both refined and practical, perfect for everyday driving as well as longer journeys.
