Such a vast improvement on the previous gens. Makes it appear longer, not stubby like before. Audi are the best out there by far. Yes an entry level car, but it lead me to buy a new S3 last year
Great review. I haven't had the chance to test drive one yet. My only real concern is the auto box. Is it jerky when moving in stop start traffic? I will probably go for the 40TFSI version if the gearbox is better, so would be interested to know how you found it compared to a Polo Gti
I currently own a 2016 S Line and have ordered 40TFSI back in August. Can’t wait for it to arrive. I love my current car and drove a few others and wanted to go up a size. Ultimately came back to the A1 because of its small size (I love small hatches) and the standard tech.
Pity the tougher looks aren’t backed up with better performance. No Quattro, No manual, & no S1 model. I’ll stick with my previous Gen 8X manual Quattro S1 thanks. Doesn’t look like Audi are ever going to build anything that good in a small package ever again.
Love it, but the only problem with todays cars especially Audi ( proud owner of A5 B9) is that they are over engineered and it’s like driving an iPhone on wheels...

Finally it’s here - great review NP 👍
Thanks, Malcolm!
Good review, could you do a comparison review with mini 5 door hatch back or clubman vs Audi A1?
Will look into that.
Which one would you buy this or golf ? And why
love the colour two tone, classy looking car.
Same. Looks sporty and modern.
Stephen Griffin i love red.
"balls out fun"... spilled my coffee, thanks :)
😅😅
Can’t wait for Audi S1
Same!
Excellent work

Is the Apple car play wireless or still needs a lead ? I know they have them in other Audi’s and cars
Hard plastic is easy to clean +1
Can you imagine if they dropped the RS3's 5 pot in this thing? I know they won't, but that would be phenomenal xD great review guys, as always!
That would be epic.
An RS1!
Great review mate. Cheers!
Where did you guys do the location shooting? That drive at 8:37 looks epic
Hobart, Tasmania!
That's between Orford and Swansea on Tassie's east coast. Those hills to the right in the background are Freycinet national park and Coles Bay.

I'm sure you'll enjoy the upgrade. The 40 TFSI engine is a goer!
Good review - great scenery. Where was this filmed pls? Tas?
Thanks! Yes, filmed in and around Hobart.
Style package one? Is that equivalent of the S Line in the UK?
S Line is different again - the Style package is just a collection of popular options (LED headlights, folding mirrors, etc).
is it automatic or not?

Evidently, that’s what the target markets are asking for. Lots to go wrong, though.
The iPhone is worth more in 5 years

Great review. 👍
Thanks!
I have a newer model of A1. It drives great.
I was just going to report the Audio issues exactly when the "Brief Audio issues reported" sticker showed up😄
Thank you, mate. Microphone fell down and nobody noticed, but it was corrected in the next scene.
please do a review on Kia Seltos
Does it have Android Auto?
Yes it does, but it isn’t wireless.
Audio is too low i think
Looks like a posh vw polo
Well.... that’s kind of what it is!
The volume is on the passenger side . That won’t be convenient for the main person - the driver
There’s a volume control on the steering wheel, under the right thumb.
NiCe 👍
I dont like the way the reviewer threw the luggage net.
New presenter 🤔
Ponch has done quite a few for us now! -Tom
Basically a rebadged vw polo
Slightly more than a rebadge.
Daz Sid and that’s not a bad thing. Have a 40TFSI on order. I’ll let you know how much of a rebadge it is...
Just not premium enough. Scratchy hard plastics in an Audi? 😂
Kicking an own goal there...

Super cool.
Beige looking to me, really a nothing car
Really - I think the design stands out.
It's more expensive VOLKSWAGEN Golf, just that!
No, a more expensive VW Polo!
