5 Things I Hate About My Audi A1 

Great little car, we have one too. 1- All sporty cars are firmer, to help plant them to the road 2- Yep, our windows stick too, thought it was where had been sat for a while between owners 3 -No issues, with playback, or phone connecting. 4 - We just use the old fashioned petrol gauge, and seldom let it go to the "please refuel stage" 5 - Most in built sat nav, are no where as good as a dedicated sat nav such as TomTom.

1- Agreed S line is stiff with the 18s.. I luckily live in a town! 2- my windows always stick but never are stuck solid! 3- Mines been fine! 4- 1.4 185Tfsi I get 45mpg on motorway and like 19-25 in town! My Fuel also goes down so quick in the last 30 miles! 5- Sat nav is decent but WAZE is so much better I use! I love my A1!

Yeah, the multimedia thing is spot on! I too have an A1 S line and I also have a problem with my multimedia set. Sometimes it's doesn't work and it's really annoying

Great video Luke, loving the thumbnail

Hi mate, having had my A1 S-line (style edition 😜😂)for about 1 month now I agree with everything you say! However the ride quality is nice with stiffer suspension because it feels pointy. A couple other issues I’ve noticed is if you accelerate hard, gear changes from 1st to 2nd isn’t very smooth whatever you do, have you noticed that? Another thing is visibility in the rear! Love it though and I don’t think there’s a better car for the money 😍

if the fuel gage is going down fast its the o2 (lambda sesnor)

Your fuel range would go down quicker when it's under a half tank because the tank is always smaller toward the bottom!

Sick video mate

I was thinking of getting this as a first car (I seen your other video aswell). Was wondering with a budget around 10,000+ do you reccomend the Audi A1 over its rivalries in the same price category? Also is it worth getting if you go for anything other than the S-Line? And how is the bass (Man loves music init.) Sorry for the long comment, great video

the sticky window issue is solved easily by cleaning the somewhat sticky rubber with a proper interior or rubber cleaner and a soft cloth, and then add some silicon based rubber and plastic care product. i use 3D magic blue, and I have to apply it like 1-2 times a year. no problem

Please mate can you make a video about how much it is useally in mot -petrol-buying price-insurance.. Etc.. That would be extremely helpful. Thanks

I have one and love it. I find centre console annoying and limited back seat. but other than that hard drive when you hit a pot hole its fun and cheap to drive

I got the 1.4 sport and i can say its pretty forgiving, have you noticed the gearbox doesnt always go into gear first time? It doesnt happen often but it sometimes needs a bit of a shove to get it in

Sticky windows can be fixed my cleaning the rubbers with soap or something I read online. Please try to do some more research online and hopefully you'll find some good solution. Regarding the nav, isn't it possible to keep north always up in the settings?

A tip for the sticky seals- apply a thin film of paraffin.

A1 lovely car ;) love it

I've a A1 non s-line 17 plate and agree the fuel gauge is bs but I've not had the sticky window thing yet?,also big overun in second gear it pulls itself???,and pairing with a phone is awkward and rarely finds my phone?

bro the sticky Window thing is something i can relate to like 1000%

Any tips ofr buying an A1 as a 1st car? what to look for/look out for?

The inside looks really black, I have same car black style edition and my inside is a little lighter like the seats ect dunno if that's becssud it's quite dark when your driving

What’s your insurance like looking to get a normal one for my first car at age 17 just trying to put the feelers out

I have a question, if i were to get an S Line how bad is the ride out of 10? And is it worth it considering it looks so much better with the s line alloys and body shape and considering the exhaust sounds way better?

Wanted an A1 but the fat tyres put me off for when we get all this bad snow 😑 my neighbour has one and slid all over in snow tyres

Any tips, im considering buying an A1, a VW scirroco or a BMW 1 series and im not sure which would be cheapest, which would be the best and which would be the lowest to insure. The BMW has the largest engine whereas the other 2 i think can be 1.4 litre and the A1 less. Im looking at getting them second hand and hopefully aroun £7000-£9500 and i was wondering if you had any tips, especially with buying an A1?

Considering one for my first car, it’s the only premium brand car of its size.

Absolutely love my S1, few issues I have are: some build quality squeaking sounds, outdated infotainment system (hardly use it) . Otherwise, my favourite car I’ve owned

Which model is this? One of the petrol models? Would you reccomend I get the Diesel model then, in terms of the fuel economy!

Be appreciative with what you have...

Interesting, I took a hard look at the A1 when looking a newer car (I love Audi and the price point was at a good point at the time) I really didn't like the Audi. I felt like it was too stiff for what it was, the seating was never perfectly comfortable, and actually felt tight, along with the entire interior. The 1.0 engine was a nightmare, with the 1.4 being better but still not perfect especially with the box it was fitted with. The sat nav was horrendous ( I fully agree), and finally it wasn't great at speeds about 100 kph, it felt sluggish and not as composed as I would expect a car like this to be.

I've had my A1 about 5 years. The music situation has has happened about 3 times. Anybody ever had problems with condensation on the inside of the windscreen?

Which engine is this? The 122, 150 or the 185 hp? I’ve heard the 185 hp engine consumes 1 L of oil per 1000 km

Thanks so much for this. I noticed the fuel situation quite suddenly the very first time I drove the car 10 hours home from where I bought it. I haven’t tried the navigation system yet, I’m using Google maps. I’m thinking it’s because the petrol tank is an unusual shape and that’s why the sensor isn’t behaving reliably. It’s a very small car. Do you have the link to the five things you love most about your Audi A1?

Dude i had similar reactions with the fuel reading.... i was like its a f&%$ 1LT ....... THOSE little engines are thirsty

You should come with your car to Poland/Mazury then you will bounce through the roof :D

What about the problem with having to clean it every 2 hours??

Can you do a spotting challenge in London with lk horizon again

Had my brand new A1 Black Edition for just over a week and already working out how to get rid of it. Looks great but as you say the ride quality is terrible, my dad's 2001 Honda Fit isn't any worse in terms of ride quality. "Sport suspension" is a euphamism for "sh*t and bumpy" as far as Audi is concerned. Everything else about it is fine but terrible ride is a deal breaker for a brand new Audi.

hi mate, i think you are selling this car too short mate,, i have a silver edition a1 2.0 tdi,,, all the works, it has never ever done anything that you said in your video, as for fule i get 56 mpg around town, amazing cars,, i think we are both lucky to own these gorgeous cars...

I have to add comment about sticky windows...had same issue on my A1. Actualy, it is very easy to solve it. You just need to apply medical petrol (i bought in pharmacy) on dry cloth and put on flat stick and drive thru window chanels...and on the end i spray silicon lubricant. Result is mint. Srry for bad english... Bye...

I got the same A1 as yours but it has shiftronic and at low speeds and rpm it can be very clunky, that's like my only real issue with this car

i have the sport edition i love it, your right with sticking windows and sills. my only real problem with it is in snow its useless i have a very large garage and early year it started snowing heavy and i decided to put it away and get my range rover out. i had 0 traction and i mean 0. im more used to the suspension as i started driving 40 years ago and i had my e type suspension stiffened a lot (and it needed it). in rain its great good grip always and car feels stable, but 2" of snow and nothing. luckily i had a friend with me so we used the range rover to push it into garage which is a converted barn. it then stayed there for 5 months as i took insurance on my range rover swapping from my a8 and a1. i use my a1 mainly in london its compact size and power is vital there.

I had one. Looks sporty and chunky but is a very dull drive. No feedback. Many annoying little details - including the claustrophobic narrow side windows. I was glad to sell it on. If you use the digital speedo - the clock disappears - but hey, you still have a calendar! Indicator lights disappeared when I had the steering wheel at my desired level. The CD player was dreadful - didn't like to be played loud for some reason. No handle on the boot - so finger marks appear rapidly....on and on...

I love audi a1

How much do you pay for petrol? And insurance

Audi should have recalled all the A1's with the sticking window rubber. The rubber material used was not fit for purpose. Its not normal or acceptable. The harsh ride of Audi's sports suspension isn't compatible with the current state of most UK B roads. Avoid it if you live anywhere rural.

Great video! Feel free to check out our Ferrari 488 Spider on our channel. Maybe one day you can come down and film it 👍

My a1 does the mmi crash

5 things I hate about my privilege* 😂

Bet that number plate was like 60k

Car manufacturers seem to think S stands for sport but it actually stands for shit on most of their models Audi bmw etc think that stiff suspension is better which couldn't be further from the truth especially when driving in the uk EVER bmw and audi I have owned (quite a few) I have changed the suspension and anti roll bars to make them handle properly it is a total joke and don't even get me started on rear open differentials, electronic steering etc Most of the m sports and s lines are just a badge to pick up the kids from school and look better than the other tossers but in reality they are a million miles away from being the ultimate driving machine

All a1's have stiff suspension, my one did that's why i upgraded to a golf

u have nice fingers

I'm fixed on how long yr nails are 🤢

To be fair I got my new A1 like 3 months ago and the sport suspension although is shit in country roads. Just makes driving faster so much more enjoyable. Plus fuck Audi sat navs 😂 all about google maps

1. It's small-ass compact car 2. It's not powerful 3. It looks lame 4. It's Audi 5. It's not BMW E60 535d 6. I was kidding and it's actually quite angry looking hatchback that's hella fun to drive in city! Doesn't attend too much unwanted attention, low running costs and you can literrally park it anywhere.

How reliable is it?

I’ll take it lol x Jokes nice car mate x

That car was made for women competing against the fiat 500, mini and other shopping cars.. what did u expect

all these points are complet bullshit and i drive this car on a daily baisis as well

Get rid off that shitbox

Damn dude, how's your relationship with soap and water?....clean those nails...

Perks of owning an overpriced cheap car

I’ve just bought an Audi a1 sport back
