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
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.
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.
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...

Good review, could you do a comparison review with mini 5 door hatch back or clubman vs Audi A1?
Will look into that.
"balls out fun"... spilled my coffee, thanks :)
😅😅
Finally it’s here - great review NP 👍
Thanks, Malcolm!
love the colour two tone, classy looking car.
Same. Looks sporty and modern.
Stephen Griffin i love red.
Hard plastic is easy to clean +1

Can’t wait for Audi S1
Same!
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!
Which one would you buy this or golf ? And why
Is the Apple car play wireless or still needs a lead ? I know they have them in other Audi’s and cars
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.
Excellent work

Great review mate. Cheers!
Good review - great scenery. Where was this filmed pls? Tas?
Thanks! Yes, filmed in and around Hobart.

I'm sure you'll enjoy the upgrade. The 40 TFSI engine is a goer!
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).
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...
Evidently, that’s what the target markets are asking for. Lots to go wrong, though.
The iPhone is worth more in 5 years
@@doriangray2347 lol
is it automatic or not?
please do a review on Kia Seltos
Great review. 👍
Thanks!
Audio is too low i think
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.
Does it have Android Auto?
Yes it does, but it isn’t wireless.
Looks like a posh vw polo
Well.... that’s kind of what it is!
I dont like the way the reviewer threw the luggage net.
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 👍

Super cool.
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...
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!
