The A1 with the s-line suspension is stiff and it makes the car fun, you can throw the car around in a backroad. It is amazing how much grip it has and it is a lot of fun, even with the smalles engine

@peterlewis3540 6 лет назад

Ive owned my A1 TDi Sport, for nearly three years, and its been a magnificent car. Ive had no issues with it, and due to its incredible build quality, still looks almost new. It was not a cheap car to buy new, but which Audi is affordable. It has met all my expectations in the Audi brand, and i hope to keep it for some considerable time.

A car for people that love life and don't look at stereotypes. Who aren't satisfied with cheap plastic and find the Polo too bland and can afford it. Small Audis, wake me up for it!! The best supermini EVER! This showed the world that cars don't have to look and feel cheap and also have quality in smaller segment.

@oddities-whatnot 7 лет назад

Firemarioflower well said. The Polo is awful, had a new one in 2012, top spec TDI model. Worst new car I ever bought

@Firemarioflower 7 лет назад

Simon George I said 'bland'. I didn't say it was awful, how can you not like the Polo. What was so bad about it? And the A1 comes from the same company basically!

@bowwowmusic8 7 лет назад

@johnc007 7 лет назад

The A1 is based on the Polo. Polo is more practical and more affordable. Expensive model polo looks great. It's cheaper to run too.

+Nick Wills Please forgive me on this. There is as much info in this review as I always did. See the separate vids as extra. I need to do it this way for our website as we have different sections in the site that need video. Sorry. Hope you like the reviews anyhow.

@districtsixHD 8 лет назад

+Mat Watson err.. not really, through the magic of editing you could combine all the parts into one video as well, and still have the different parts for your website. The reason for spliting different segments into separate videos is to drive traffic to your website and to garner unique views for ad revenue - i.e. If l watch one "full" review that equals 1 PPC (price-per-click), if l then have to click on 4 different videos to get the full review that equals 4 PPC's to you. Game the system, maximize your revenue (w/ some minor inconvenience to us), cool, but don't fob us off with "..I need to do it this way for our website.. different sections in the site that need video.."

@christianvanristell 8 лет назад

You didn't mention the steering or really any of the dynamics.

@christianvanristell 8 лет назад

Upon further inspection, you did mention the suspension but you didn't go into very much detail about the steering.

@MatWatsonCars 8 лет назад

I said all the controls, Inc the steering, are light, it's easy to drive and it's comfy. But not that much fun. If you want more on the nuances of delicacy of the helm, the sophistication of the primary ride and the composure of the secondary ride and greater detail on the lateral G and lean angles in mid to low mu conditions you will need to subscribe to Evo, as I don't cover that stuff. But they don't tend to review A1s. I do cover how there is a hook in the boot you can hang your Waitrose bag for life from in the boot to prevent your Chablis from smashing as you go round a corner in at 54mph. That matters to real A1 buyers. However fret not! I have taken your point on board and there will be more detail on dynamics for certain cars... Such as the performance cars which I will be covering soon. So please bear with me ;)
