I've got one of these as a courtesy car today whilst my A1 is in for a service. I think it's a great car and I'll definitely think about getting one of these when it's time to change. Agree about the lag from the automatic gearbox, but it's far removed from a sports car so for day to day driving, when you get used to it I think it's fine. The interior is fantastic and the new dash layout is brilliant.
The A1 S-line looks astronomically better that the Citycraver, such a shame they no longer sell the S-line A1 in my country... Only the boring Citycraver....
