You guys should do some fuel economy mods like weight reduction, engine service, pumped up eco tyers, ecu tune and the works to see how high this thing can go, mpg wise.

Wait you can tune your car to save more gas??? That's actually cool for a person who drives all day.
@@jv1990 you can make it run more lean, not too good for long term (not too sure tbh:/) but people do it. actually, most motorcycle companies (ducatti notoriously) tune their bikes lean from factory to get away with emissions requirements and lower gas consumption

13:01 I can't stress enough how thankful I am to the editor for including those stats in different measurements so that people outside of the UK understand exactly how economical these cars are!
tbh i'm sold on that oil and washer fillup swivel thingy, this was clearly a German A-Level equivalent project.
Yeah, I'm with you on that. Props to whoever thought of that design.
that makes the car like easily 10% cooler in my book. thats literally one more trivial fact i can bore my gf with 🙂
People used to fill the engine with water and vice versa. Had one that the customer had filled right to the top. Engine locked solid
Never seen that myself! Nifty.
@@edpilling4955 reminds me of the smart for two that seemed to get filled with gas right into the air intake
British: I'm interested to see just how economical this car is.
Americans: Hellcat go brrrrrrrrr
Americans: oh its not a v8 sad gun noises
No V8? Damn communist car
Casually put supercharged v8 In suv
"qrqrqrqrqrqrqrr"
-The V8 cried.
if I paid 50 pence for a liter of gas I'd go brrrr too
I owned an Audi A2 for ten years until I wasn't allowed to drive it in my (german) city anymore due to fucking insane laws made to ban cars with "older" Diesel engines. It was ugly as fuck but I can't express how wonderful it was to drive. It had the smoothest transmission and such a direct steering. Made you feel at home. I miss it so much!!
And it was waaaaay ahead of it's time consuming only 4,5L/100km, being fairly light and never rusting because it was made of aluminium..
I dont thinks its ugly
Crazy that they ban these cars here while big suvs can still drive
I own one. It's almost the best car I have ever driven on a daily basis.
@@kloschuessel773 Do you have a receding hairline?
@@juhojalonen3046 lol, dunno what this has to do with anything

But its not like it was with 16.
Im not saying the car is cool in and as itself. Its kinda cool bcs its aluminium and not many have it. And its considered a future classic and likely to appreciate...
Would i prefer an a4 overall, yes

i thing audi/vag earn some money for repair this long time after they selling this model
Jacks car is incredible, over 500k miles still getting 68mpg wow.
TDI's are notorious for being incredible engines. the mk4 golf/jetta 1.9 ALH is a favorite for swaps in north america because they''re all over the place, only need 3 wires to start, and can be tuned for insane economy and power. my mate swapped one into a mk3 jetta, tuned the injection pump, gets 70mpg USA spec, and has 40hp/60tq more than stock at the wheels. and he didn't touch the engine itself, a wrecker yard purchase. vw/audi really has the small diesel engine figured out.

John 3:16-21
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Mark 1.15
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Hebrews 11:6
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

I’ve had three of these and there is a fourth in the family. I’ve never owned another small car, but I always thought that the A2 is one of the best cars ever made and a special moment in automotive history that will never happen again - a premium small car built with premium materials, to a high spec, but cheap to maintain and run. It’s not a rebadged Polo or a carer mobile, like the A1, it’s a unique car that can carry four adults in comfort and style. The rear passenger leg room beats the 3 series/C-Class , for example.
I only have two or three issues with the car - visibility is affected by the front pillar, it’s a pain to unlock the boot when the battery goes flat and due to the low weight (around 900kg), it’s not fun to drive it at high speed on open road in strong wind. Perhaps, the fifth gear could be longer. You could buy a new Polo with worst spec and less style or space today, twenty years later!
One more thing - I’m not sure what happened there, but you never see @@@@@ driving one of these.
🤣
I’ve always liked it as well, super silent interior and fun to drive.
If you poke around TH-cam someone has electrified one- it really suits it.
Sounds like you’re describing an i3
The fossil fuel “BMW i3”. This one deserves a full tank economy run.
mactipiak no.
The extended range has a generator which charges the battery so no-
Excuse me!!
Would you stop for a moment?!
Haven't you thought-one day- about yourself ?
Who has made it?
Have you seen a design which hasn't a designer ?!
Have you seen a wonderful ,delicate work without a worker ?!
It's you and the whole universe!..
Who has made them all ?!!
You know who ?.. It's "ALLAH",prise be to him.
Just think for a moment.
How are you going to be after death ?!
Can you believe that this exact system of the universe and all of these great creation will end in nothing...just after death!
Have you thought, for a second, How to save your soul from Allah's punishment?!
Haven't you thought about what is the right religion?!
Here you will get the answer:

I3 a lil fun to drive at least
They're both shit! The latest i3 isn't available with the petrol generator anymore, you just get more battery capacity. You also can't charge them from normal mains-well you can, but after 3 days charging, I only got 1 mile added to the range (possibly a fault, but shit nevertheless)
I had one as a company car when they first came out.I used to drive from Hamburg to Dover and up to Leeds every 3 weeks to see the kids. Fantastic drive at near 100mph the whole way,flat out all the way and 55mpg.Never a back twinge, never broke on me. Definitely the best car by a long way at the time in its group,infact better long-distance than the Fiesta and renault leguna 2.0d which I also did the tripin.
Wait - the UK and US MPG is actually different? For a German, it just gets more confusing 😂 thanks for showing L/100km as well
by about 20%. UK gallons are bigger.
@@geoffreycarter3981 at a British gas station, do you still pay by the litre or by the gallon?
@@billa1452 pay by the litre, weirdly
The Americans have longer miles than we have in the UK.
It just gets more confusing😂 but thanks for the enlightenment
The A2 was actually a great car, i had mine for about 10 years and over 250.000 Kilometers. One of the most underrated cars of the last 30 years...
@K Man The A2 is lighter and more aerodynamic than the Polo. And to be honest: i think 47 MPG is not very impressive for a Polo Bluemotion, should be above 50.
Mine had the 1.4 16V gasoline engine and i managed to get around 45 mpg, normal driven and not hypermiling.
@K Man Biggest impact in any kind of economy driving is... driver. I can get anything form 6.2l/100 to 26l/100 in my car just by changing my driving style. I've driven cars in such a way that I went 2-2.5 l/100 below the owner's best... all above just driving, no bullshit dangerous techniques.
K Man i can reach 4l/100km or even bellow with careful driving on a tuned 2.0d
I love this car!
@@hojnikb my 2.0 gets under 4l/100km without any tune, just careful driving (2018 octavia)
Alex: this is the first car ive got with 2 keys :)
Ethan:its only got one ignition though

"Properly north, north of Manchester"
Cries in scottish
North of Manchester, just below Yorkshire.
People really go out of their way to not acknowledge Lancashire.
This has clearly had a LHD gearbox mod, very common for people who wanted an auto but couldn't get one. Instead you just get the passenger to change for you.
Yor joking right? Is this actually something people do?
So do you get a Jack with the mod then ?
@@adelaide7822 You're joking right, is that actually a comment people believe?
@@Onewheelordeal yeah I feel kind of dumb for believing that now, no excuses, but tbf there are cars where the brake pedal is also on the passenger side, so I guess a clutch pedal might be possible too idk.
@@adelaide7822 has to be a former driving instructors car then no?
Literally the last genuinely innovative Audi before they just started full on VAG platform sharing.
They were already full swing sharing by that point, I do totally agree though that it was an entirely Audi venture, ive always had diesel audis, I bought an A2 recently, someone said they arnt real Audis so i explained in very boring detail that its actually the only true Audi to come out in many decades.
Can't beat a bit of VAG sharing 👍
Do you know if its the same engine used in the mk5 golf sdi
Highly engineered innovative car, extremely streamline and they lost money on everyone sold!
kenneth No. SDI is a non turbo 1.9 whereas this is a turbo 1.4.
I got mine for 17 years now and my biggest repair was just under 800 euro most way under it.
I have similar miles on it and the best thing is you don't think about rust at all. Which is so nice especially now when it's old.
Gearbox you need to reset the cables from the shifter. My moms has one with near 400k kms with a tune for 95bhp.
Note: that 3cyl engine is pretty much the 1.9tdi you have on the high mileage A4 with a cylinder shaved off.
If you can find the rare version with 4x4 (haldex) people have swapped the 1.4 for the 1.9.
If you want to try and hit higher mpg drop a tune a the 6th gear (yes, its possible)
There is no A2 Quattro. I've seen some that built them, but they were newer AWD from factory.
@@Stefuu_ you are right. I probably saw a modded one and assume it had a version. Still is a sick mod.
@@pedrogbranco like scirocco with haldex here in Fin
A lightweight, compact little thing from Germany.
Audi's ok too.

TT Minivan, loved that! We used to drive an AudiA2 in 2002, we used it as a small family car and what can I say...after 20 years I keep thinking of this car and am seriously considering it as my next purchase. I'm not a huge car person and don't know much, but this car was such a joy to drive, it was surprisingly spacious, and just a really well mannered, cute little guy. I'm here because I want to educate myself about cars, the Audi A2 in particular, in regards to what I should be looking for when buying a 15+ year old car.
It's interesting how Jack just gave up on shaving since the lockdown started. By the time the vacine comes out he'll look homeless
hes receding pretty fast too.
LOL I did the same thing. My beard's down to my nips.
America's been under lockdown for a bit long than you all, though.
My Mrs beard is down to her knees. 😢
Both are fake whilst the beard is real.
US : Why don't we get the fun Euro models ?
Audi: We could send you the A2
US : We don't want the fun Euro models
Actually the problem with the United States is the big three Germans is supposed to be luxury not basic they tried to make a basic luxury but it failed because they cut too many corners
I don't mind an A2, but I really want the A1. Especially the Hatchback version.
No American would buy mini Euro eco cars at a premium price.

The A2 was designed specifically to be economical and that’s cool in my books
The exact opposite in mine, with a possible exception of a 2cv. Or Trabant.
It was really expensive so not economical at all.
@@hrgiyzueghe its cheap now
Owner: Stains were there when I bought it.
Alex: Ew, look at those seat stains.
Owner: *Gets defensive*
Those are totally his stains. lol
I've seen other A2 with the same kind of stains, seems it's a standard issue for them.
What does it have to do with the type of car, it’s just a normal seat.
@@isaacrossonero3855 not really. My golf mk4 has similar seats and they literally start looking like that after just a couple of rain drops on them.
@@isaacrossonero3855 For different cars they use different seats and different materials, which means that some cars have a known standard issue with their seats (Peugeots for example rip at the seam for the side air bag quite often).
Yes you are right ,but still I regularly see stains like these on similar cars of the same era who have these type of seats (mostly German cars). Hence why I still think that this isn’t a specific problem with the A1 just a common problem with this kind of seat fabric used in many more cars.
"This is one of the roughest interiors I've seen..."

Adam was pretty cool 🤣
I realy like this Audi because of a previous CarThrottle video, so CarThrottle sometimes gives me second opinions!!
BTW: Alex hasn't said: "You mad bro!?" for a long time
Yh I thought that too he used say it all the time
@K Man I dont take their advice of buying cars for less than £200 beacuse:
-I am 14
- I know when you buy a car for less than the that, the repair bill will be more the the actual car😂😂😂
I've got that exact model in red. That traction control light you thought you saw is the brake disc wearing warning. If it's also on with the ABS then there's a wire to the front passenger side wheel which has broken, cutting off the pad and wheel speed sensors. Repair loom is available from Audi for about £55. Early A2 gearboxes are mostly made of toffee.
Unpopular opinion I actually like them , we had a diesel one at work and it did mega mpg
Well it is a small light car with a small diesel engine.it's Best way to get good mpg. I had a L reg 1.5 diesel (Isuzu engine) Corsa I don't even remember having to put fuel in it was so rare maybe filled it twice
If you go for a 3.0 TDI you can have nice power and relatively good sound as well!
They made a special edition im sure that done like 100mpg
@@geemachine666 yes I did hear about that one didn't it have parts missing/carbon fibre parts too and some special wheels and tyres for aero dynamics and low rolling resistance. And was like £4k more than a normal one.

I love these cars. Living in Norway where they use salt on the roads in wintertime, the Aluminium chasis is a big plus. And it is such a big little car. (It doesn't feel small sitting inside it.)
It looks like a Audi TT and a Prius had a one night stand love child!
The two silver Audi’s look like step brothers lol
More like an a3 and a prius lol. Don't see any tt in this other than the dash clocks.
This is by far the coolest car ever built. Im already saving up to collect several of them
thats literally the fucking worst car audi has ever producted to date, literally driving garbage, A7 best car EU WEST
@K Man Yes and no. The engineers at Audi clearly did not design the car in consideration of the second/later owner. In order to fix it properly, you got to remove the front bumper, intercooler, take the transmission/engine completely out, replace the rusty drum brakes, change the whole suspension and even route a whole new wiring if the previous owner wasnt too thoughtful. But once you did that - and your interior doesnt look like s*** as in the one in the video above - you have a damm cool little car at your hands.
But if you dont like the car or its design at all - .....
@@MuhKuh9ft13 maxi du russn troll :DD
I actually genuinely like this car, I think it's cool
same
As an American I saw this car on Gran Turismo and I like the looks of it but I never knew you can remove the hood that way.
I think with a good set of wheels, and lowered down it would look stunning !
I think your eye test is overdue
Same
That 3 cylinder diesel is a great little motor. 'surprising' is the word I would use, waaay more torque than you would think when they are on boost.
I had a Skoda Fabia courtesy car with the 1.4 TDI, and yes it felt like it was fuelled with gravel but it was indeed surprisingly torquey and also it actually sounded pretty good compared to the 4 pot 1.9. I can see why they get such high mpg because you really can just keep the revs and throttle inputs low
I've always thought the A2 was a decade too early! If you released it in 2010 with a few small styling tweaks it would have sold by the transporter load. An ex had one of the petrol ones and once you got past the looks it was a very, very capable car. It was so light that if you put the wiper on full speed the car would rock! Please fix the gearbox then see what it's like then, you can then do what you want with it.
This car was extremely expensive, it cost twice the price of an economy car with the same quality and features and weighted the same. In 2010 they would have failed exactly as they did back then.
They say it was ahead of its time, but I'd like to know why: the aluminium body? Small aluminium cars existed even in the 50s and 60s. The 1.4 TDI? It's a junk engine. So why do you consider it ahead of its time?
For 40k, buying an A2 was just stupid lmao. An economy car for stupid ppl. If you really did care for the economy, then you'd take public transit.
Bought one 5 years ago, great little car, and a lot of fun.
A bit of a cult car that will be sought after one day.
@K Man boi have checked your comments and you only give hate
Honestly I could see someone bagging one of these and doing a cool VIP build, I like those fender flares alot
'I Bought The Audi Everyone Hates'
nahhhh i love it
The 1.2 3L is a tad better imo
I'm glad someone's finally saying good things about the A2. I love the little thing. It was my first ever car bought back in late 2015 with 108.000km and traded it back to a Toyota car dealer with 125.000km in 2017 (for a boring, very uncool Yaris Hybrid... yuck). I literally would drive just for the fun of being behind its steering wheel; the handling was TIGHT, the steering was precise and the throttle response was super fun (i had the 1.4l petrol version). Also, great interior and boot space in such a little package... miss the Audi A2! (Still keeping the original key in my keychain).
I had the same engine for my first car and it was still going strong at 212k, handled brilliantly too
Yea I think the a2 looks better than most ugly cars
I bought one back in 2012: It was a 2003 with the 1.6 (110hp) and it had every conceivable option. Weighing in at just 995 kg this thing was so much fun to drive - and you always had hats turning at the (rather ridiculous) looks of it! Unfortunately, my A2 was totaled when some imbecile decided ignore a stop sign...
Utter bollocks you lot talk. That 3pots done by 140k and down at 50bhp if its not blown... the gearbox is chocolate and they get constant brake issues
this is almost exactly how I feel about the classic Taurus SHO here in America. No one remembers them or gets excited whenever they see mine, and when I talk about them, no one thinks it's anywhere near as cool as it really is. I can respect your feelings about the Audi A2. 😔7

It is probably the most innovative Audi in the last 15 years. If you get past the subjective looks, it is an engineering and packaging marvel.
These were ahead of their time-Audi should bring out something as practical and groundbreaking again!edit-new maxus e3 van does the same thing with the bonnet-no hinges and all the front end is plastic.
that front bonnet idea thing is actually very smart
The styling was odd for twenty years ago. These days they're not particularly out of the ordinary. The A1 on the other hand reminds me of an Austin Allegro...
Our family had an Audi A6 C5 1.9l TDI for 15 years and it did 527 000km before we sold it onwards. A brilliant, brilliant and reliable car if you just make sure to service it when needed. Loved it to bits
Saw an A2 today on the actual A2 .Y reg like this one and immaculate,so someone loves it. Wasn't hanging around either.
Next video: buy they pruis everyone hates
Me: everyone hates the pruis
Ethan: how many peanuts can I fit in my mouth
Lol
haha callback to old 2guys1car videos
НАРИМУН ПРОДАКШН yes
I was literally just rewatching the MX5 series and now suddenly here's Jack and his beard
We don’t have these in North America....I’m envious! Fix it up completely and keep it going for as long as you can!
No wtf this is a super cool car, everyday when I leave for work there is one on the way there. It leaves me more astounded than a sports car
For the gearbox check the linkage mechanism. It may just need adjustment, or a fairly cheap part to be replaced. The A2 owners club is a great place for info and parts.
We bought one a year ago as a runabout and to teach our kids to drive in.
I think it's great that so many people think they are uncool. Keeps the prices down. Whilst those that appreciate good engineering for reasonable prices can enjoy them to the full.
Man I love the A2, considered it as a daily for a while. A steal at that price even given its age and the shite gearbox. More vids ftw
8:28 “yo! That’s gay” 🤣😂
This is the powerful A2 with a turbo. The high milage best is a 1,4 N/A with less then 60hp, it was reaching 3l/100km and it had 3L badge on the back.
I actually really like the a2
my dad has a Audi A2. the longer you have it around the more you get used to its looks
The 1.2 TDI would have done 95 mpg. That would have been a whole different story
@@bor1422 hes right, your link is full of BS son
A2's are junk - literally. Many years ago i picked up parts at a VW dealer for my dad and the customer in front of me wanted spare parts for his A2. He didn't get them and the dealer told him the A2 in general has been sort of abandoned by VAG because you can't get a lot of spare parts at all. You HAVE to search ebay or junkyards. This was already 10 years ago. The other thing is the aluminium that almost tripples repair cost for common body repair jobs.
What happened to ALL the other "project" cars you have bought the last couple of months? The MR2 for example and the rest (i already forgot how many), are they ever coming back?
I can’t wait until my dad is done with his high mileage Ford Focus cause I definitely want to sell it to Alex
Sell to him for a quid
I’m gonna when my dad is done with the car
@K Man very true , anyone got a shitbox they don’t mind letting go for a quid?
Prices gonna go up after this series on the A2 hits, the design and technology have actually aged quite well!
I remember some years ago i was in the UK for vacation and in the middle of the highway near Heathrow there was a bonnet from an A2 and the car parked on the side of the road 500m after
Lol!
I really like the a2 such an underrated car a friend of mine has a 1.6l Petrol A2 wich i wouldnt advice to get if you want an a2
My first car is an A2 still runs great even tho it's 16 years old had no problems at all with it
@@truereclaim7341 i had a MK4 Golf its sadly didnt work out that well but good luck with yours
@K Man there's more then 80k miles on it and since I've had the car I've had no mechanical faults at all with it it's been a great car
Would love to see an update/roundup of what's happened to all the various cars you guys have bought!
I worked with a guy who LOVED these. Had two, with a combined mileage of somewhere around 750,000miles. He swore by them.
Actually i quite like the looks of it, has potential and looks like some sleeper
also im excited to see what youre gonna do to it
With out doubt the best car I have ever owned, its fuel efficiency was amazing.
Not ideal for 2 deerhound and a baby.
Would have another in a heartbeat.
I don't know, choosing between the A2 or the e36 compact... oh crap I've already got the compact. Now i need a cheap A2 in my life.
