As you like your A3, Peter, but don't want to spend the best part of £40k on a new / newer e-tron, I think that in your position I'd look seriously at another A3, but with the 1.5 TFSI petrol engine. On a long run you csan get over 50 mpg in this. The list price of these new is at least £10k less than an e-tron.
If you only need a supermini, than an A1 like my wife's is worth a look. There's a new model due next year, so there will be good deals on the current model as there was on ours (a 1.4 TFSI) when we got it last December. It's undoubtedly the best small car we've had. If the two of us go on a long run we use it in preference to my diesel V60: it has just as much room in the front snf it uses less fuel.
