We bought a sporstback in Dec 2023 when I retired and sold my lovely A4. It is a surprisingly powerful and high revving little beast ! I miss the size and power of my A4 but the fold down rear seats of the A1 almost make enough room but we love this little and economical runabout. Plus we are having 43 mpg and 64 mpg on long runs ! Whats not to like !
Thanks for this both detailed and down-to-earth review. I've just ordered one with virtually identical spec. but in Chronos Grey. Like you, I was impressed with both performance (30 TFSI) and handling on my test drive. 😀
Nice review! The front grill in gloss black (painted) looks way better. The previous models had bare matt plastic which bleached quite quickly in the sun.
Does the sonos sound system come as standard or is this another extra u have to pay for. On the A3 s line u have to pay 1500 for a better sound when all I wanted was reverse camera but it just comes as a set
Thank you Daniel, both are impressive, but I’d go for the Fabia, bigger engine and it’s that bit different, however I do love the handling on the A1 and of course the colour. Hope this helps
I ordered one of these after watching this review 😊 thanks for the great attention to detail
Excellent Mi, enjoy and you’re very welcome - thank you for the kind words

Yes, great fun, practical enough and cool looking thank you for sharing your experience Malcolm

Oh very nice, thank you for the kind words and enjoy Derek

Thank you and yes gloss always looks the part with a colour ensemble like this, plastics fading takes me back to the Nova and Golf.
I have two 2016 A1s. Love them both! Wonderful Review!
Thank you Ravihara - enjoy them, we have a 16v Mk2 Golf 😀
Handling steering is top notch
It is, dynamic, fun and looks the part thank you Tony

It's part of the comfort and sound pack - £1,395.00 - as you said, certain options only come in packs. Thank you, @FATSHADY-uk3uu
Greate channel! What will you choose, Audi A1 or skoda Fabia Monte Carlo?
Thank you Daniel, both are impressive, but I’d go for the Fabia, bigger engine and it’s that bit different, however I do love the handling on the A1 and of course the colour. Hope this helps
Certainly is a very bright colour 😂can't mistake where ya parked this in a busy car park that is for sure planet auto 🚗🚘😊🎉
Thought you’d be over the moon it’s a pure petrol David 😀
Oh yeah internal combustion engine 😊😊🎉❤
@davidmarshall5596 thought it’d be the first thing you clocked 😆
@@PlanetautoUK ha ha 😂
It’s an awesome little car, driving modes too who’d have thunk it 🛞
compare it to i20 please, isnt i20 better value for money
It depends what you want, i find the A1 a more of a drivers car unless it’s the N 😀
@@PlanetautoUK no just normal i20, it is 10k less than a1 isnt that a better value or is the a1 worth it and why
Hard plastic for that much money 🤦🏻♂️ rip off !
It comes with the territory of this size of car with the very odd exception Kam, great drivers car though.
