Audi A1 customer review - What Car?

Audi A1 reviewed by What Car? Reader Test Team

Read the What Car? Audi A1 review http://bit.ly/ABWtga

The A1 is a small car with Audi qualities and the Audi badge, so it can't fail. All the engines are good, and quality is up to the usual Audi standards.

However, as you progress up the trim hierarchy, you get firmer suspension, bigger wheels and a firmer ride. List prices aren't exactly cheap, either.

The guy at 2:44 looks like he would enjoy a shunt from the back...

I would prefer my b7 rs4 quattro (sprint blue pearl). The ride is so much better, i have test drived one of these and all i can say is sh*t. Very jerky, hardly any headroom, trunk (boot) space is tiny, the only thing on this car that is probably the best is the engine. It's tuned and has a wonderful high pitched (rs4 sounding) note to it.

the 2010-present Audi A1 is assembled in

Brussels, Belgium

Rather buy the new Lancia Ypsilon it's much more exclusive and classy!

@ferguswong77

what's stupid about his comment? the fact that there is no headroom at the back? or the fact that armrest impedes the handbrake operation? He seem to have substantiated all his gripes with the car and quite conincingly. It's probably one of the very few yet legitimate complaints about the car and you call it stupid.

@R774r I love this car also, it would be a great first car, however being an Audi it would be very expensive. I am nearly 19 and insurance in my own name for this car is nearly £3500 so for a 17 year old it would be considerbally more, the insurance in this country is stupid is stops us younger drivers to drive cars, it should be like america where it is on the car not on the person.

I really love this car, it's everything that I want in a car! But I was wondering, would this be a good first car? Because I turn 17 next year and I'm just worried about how much it would be to insure etc.
