In my slightly biased opinion the MINI Clubman, which is A3/Golf sized, has a much more premium feeling interior than then MB A Class/1 Series/new A3. But you do have to like the actual design. The quality of it is up there with the previous generation (8V) A3, which was streets ahead of its competitors interior wise. The MINI, in Cooper S form, is also pretty nippy, handles well and is fun to drive. The new 1 series is FWD now, not rear, so it’s main USP has gone. It’s still a good drive, and the 128ti I probably worth a look? I assume she’s steering clear of diesel? Really, if she wants nippy she should try an EV; maybe an i3? At 15k miles a year range shouldn’t be an issue...
