Audi A1 Sportback review - Auto Express

[Harryissuperawesome]

I honestly feel the three door is better... and this one a bit pointless :S

[Ifreann666]

@dunti21 so what your saying is that no one is allowed to have an opinion that differs from your? If your eye is only able to see the little tow hook then you are not seeing the forest for the trees. There are slight differences such as the tow point and the the interior but the chassis and overall look is the same.

[Ifreann666]

@dunti21 Dont be an ass, I have had A3s and have had an A4 for the past 5 years. Stop trolling you twat, I love Audi's and am a member of a prominent Audi forum since 2003.If you look at the chassis overall shape it is exactly the same as the polo, that was lazy engineering.

[dunti21]

@Ifreann666 The only way you can see it on th overall shape is the little tow hook under the rear bumper, which is hardly noticeable. The A1 has the same styling as all the new Audis. You might as well say that your A3 looked like a Golf... Cool that you love Audi, but there's something wrong with your differentiation skills.

[Ifreann666]

@dunti21 what part of LOOKS LIKE did you not understand. Yes it has a different engine, yes it has a better HMI. But it still LOOKS LIKE a fucking polo you twat.

[dunti21]

@Ifreann666 Uh, it looks nothing like a polo except for the size. The new BMW 1 series looks like a polo. Polo has square back lights, these are angled. Square front lights, these have a slight teardrop, It has the Audi grill, polo doesn't. Curved roof arches. Polo doesn't. You're just being a hater cos you think all Audis are just VWs

[staticmajorable]

oh! not bad for a VW

[wideangle852]

"You'll struggle to get anyone over 6 foot in here" . . I agree . . its a small car?? Why the reference?? Its like saying a Porsche will beat it at the lights . . . driving journalists are such idiots

[nelsonr32]

I always laugh when testers say things like "You'll struggle to get anyone over 6 foot in here" when they are reviewing a Supermini. An A1 wouldn't exactly be my first choice if I was going buy a car for me and four 6 footers would it...

[tryNo14]

At first I wanted to write "what kind of guy would buy this" then i watched more and realized it's not Q but A. Silly me. (seriously these small SUV's like Tiguan, Q3, 1 series, Yeti are useles, they offer nothing more that 5-door hatches wich drive alot beter)

[Ultimatemxcn]

how does it compare to the vw polo it is based on?

[reddexred]

how does it compare to its bigger sibling the A3

[UzzyFuzzyy]

just another VW ahahahahaha

[yoyoluc]

@UzzyFuzzyy That's what people who can't afford an Audi say. haha

[UzzyFuzzyy]

@yoyoluc why would i want to buy a cheap ugly piece of shit thats just a copy and paste from VW? fuckin ugly cunt

[yoyoluc]

@UzzyFuzzyy You're right, just keep that 1985 Honda Civic you probably drive. "fuckin ugly cunt"  HAHAHAHAHAH!! Did you just learn how to curse?

[UzzyFuzzyy]

@yoyoluc Mercedes and BMW = For rich people & Drug Dealers

Audi opps i mean Volkswagen = For poor people.

suck your dads cock ugly fuck ahahahahahahha

[yoyoluc]

@UzzyFuzzyy Why are you so mad? You must be one of those pussy e-thugs. That's cool, I get it. Mommy was a crack whore, and daddy left before you were born. You'll probably never afford an Audi, MB, BMW, VW, or even a shopping cart. Pathetic loser.

[UzzyFuzzyy]

@yoyoluc kk but audi is shit

[iJunglehazel]

Back is ugly :(

[MrFrankieFiggz]

Best looking little car ever....Bring it to the USA! And some RS models as well thanks!

[MrRyca]

can that music play the whole time i'm driving the car? i'll buy it today.

[BMW2002M10]

nicely styled fabia!!!!

[Ifreann666]

Looks like a rebadged Polo

[TheEGGtech]

@Ifreann666 it is =.=

[dunti21]

@Ifreann666 Did you listen to anything on this vid or did you just come to troll? What Polo has an engine with cylinder-on-demand technology, Google maps, MMI, Wifi etc? Sure the chassis is the same but who the fuck cares about what chassis a car has as long as it's good?

[hupguan]

Think Audi is gonna eat up sales for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Starting with their own a1 coupe.

[fussballkingpro]

Ok... The music was a little bit too fun... Or weird...

[MiguelRelvas1]

It's my favourite hatchback since it was launched. I LOVE Audi's +.+

[maestroadam]

aw what a happy little German car.

[mlps93]

why cant we have it here in Canada :(

[Ioanides001]

Mini or Fiat 500 any day of the week. An orange small audi is like a pocketsize sony hdtv - some things need to be big/heavy and quatro to make sense...

[gillanjag]

Nice review, very refreshing to get a real world review thats more detailed than autocars 90sec videos.

[GreyWolf0130]

this is a perfect MINI Killer!

[AHMADF93]

I thing this looks better than the normal A1. The A1 looks a bit awkward because it seems too short for me.

[TheVtieg6]

Rather get a mini clubman

[RoadTerrorist]

Well you wouldn't buy it for the styling, that thing is almost as ugly as the new 1 series.

[DaviCupra]

@johnnyxp64 I agree :)

[Notchville]

Nice car but I'd love to hear more of the tires on the road instead of the lullabyish background music. :)

[shoelace510]

Makes my SRX look huge! haha But the A1 is a bit too small for my liking... looks great though if that's the size you want :)

[tomhowroyd]

@blackseries99 its aimed at the polo

[blackseries99]

Overpriced GOLF.

[cacarca]

Too bad this won't come to the US.

[SPKytu]

@Goremaster Audi make the best looking cars. So beautiful.

[anktakes]

This is what i always wanted to have small and Audi.......loved it.......!

[Jeffersonprg]

4 doors? wtf Audi!

[Oggoel]

Yeh, not that good looking. You can blame the roof and back for that.

[STUNN3R94]

@Oggoel Exactly what i thought

[spartandy]

amm i prefer vw gti but nice review !!

[ArtemiyPavlov]

I can't wait to try the new mk7 Golf with this engine! VW is really moving forward seriously.

[MrFeruiz]

Thanks for sharing Jack! Love Audi !

[TheStevenbald]

look like Mitsubitshi RVR or ASX especially the back

[TheEryk03]

My favorite little car now! I love IT!

[ZorK0717]

Need a RS8 :-) or a RS1

also we need a rebirth of the old S2/RS2 with porsche together.... And we want more 5 cyl turbo engines

[NeraVantage]

nice review!

[errorcode99]

looks like a cool little car

[BestCarSound]

Ugly, but nice, really nice machine! Want one

[loster88]

I've so say I'm not the regular costumer for this kind of car... but I've to say I think it's a brilliant car, inside feels much bigger than it actually is. But... in term's of driving "dynamics", is just liike another polo,ibiza,fabia,is there anymore?, but a bit more "nicer" to own.

[CVasquez112]

i like the ferrari 458 spyder more than this.......

[86kinky86]

great review of a cool car

[alexglenny]

This car shouldnt exist. Although, It does replace what the mini used to be...

[MrDinggie]

woohoo!!



[sarokas12]

What's next? An A8 sportback?

[dublinairportplanes]

wheres the other guy
