Did a test drive yesterday and it was pretty nippy for a 1.0 engine. Love the tech. Though for an Audi I felt the cabin as a whole felt quite cheap. The lack of armrest as standard is a bit tight. It looks so empty without it. I decided it’s just too small a car for me. Plus price soon shots up when you add just some basic options. I’m going to save my cash and get a nearly new A3 1.5 S-line with technology pack. Which is pretty much the same price as this with the deals available out there due to new model coming soon.

I understand your comments, and I was basing my comment on the baby seat he installed in this video. On a personal note, I would not like to have a baby seat right next to me as a driver. The temptation to reach over and do 'something' (reinstall dummy) with the baby is always going to be high in such a situation. We all know with the traffic levels and phone zombie pedestrians walking out into your path, it could very quickly become lethal. Of course, the same can be said for any distraction.

Its a very good vehicle, its just that the price makes it unreasonable for the class it is in. Its too expensive compared to rivals but a good small car. If money is no issue then it would be a great run around for anyone.

[@ddrodwell1]

Sometimes entry level isn’t the cheapest option. I’ve got a new Audi TT and in reality it actually cost less than the new A1 with the deposit contribution they offered. The A1 is a stunning car but it’s worth checking out more expensive models first to see what the finance packages work out at. They may cost more but the gfv is higher and deposit contributions can be far larger so the actual amount you finance can be less. The irony that I’m going to struggle to pay less than I do now for a car further down the range. Worth noting :)

Insurance on my first year at 17 wasn’t bad either (£724 with no black box, and I live in London so was expecting to pay much more). The car is a lot of fun to drive (especially in sport mode - dynamic as Audi calls it). But, I think it’s time for an upgrade soon as I want something a little faster, and with some upgrades that I couldn’t get on the A1. Overall, highly recommend it (especially the manual as the gearbox is great). Haven’t had any major issues with the car, just a few minor things like an issue with the tire pressure indicators, and I had to have the MMI replaced as CarPlay stopped working.

The Mini arguably does the job better as premium hatch even if's not particularly practical. From the get go it just has a lot of character whereas the A1 while nice doesn't really stand out and there's little to justify it over paying the same for a better equipped Polo. The Mini is the kind of thing that can at least be affordable provided people don't go nuts with the equipment; in a lot of cases you won't miss some of the extras anyway. Most would be happy enough with DAB radio, Air Con and Bluetooth. There's a lot of equipment cars have that people won't ever use.

[@Matt-td9wx]

How you finding it ?

[@basithph8958]

Can’t wait for the S1!

[@DJPleasureSeekingMissle]

18,000 for a poverty pack and 30,000 like this one....for a 3 cylinder turbo petrol? Yeah, no thanks. I’d much rather get a nicely specked GTI for that price.

[@Timochat_]

208 GT / Polo GTI it is :v

[@user-bm4wv5zv2h]

if you judge cars only by their ability to perform in the race track, ok go ahead

[@ericpickles9616]

£150 to change the ambient lighting colours 😲

[@gravemind6536]

You are basically paying for them to enable software built into the car, I know a guy who is good with computers and he was tinkering with an Audi and discovered some of the things you pay extra for can be enabled if its a software based thing.

[@philippsladek99]

@@gravemind6536 of course, because it cuts down costs. While other manufacturers use that opportunity to give the customer more features for less money, audi locks them away and let's you pay extra for it. It is kinda sad really, especially people out there still trying to justify the price.

[@oxcart4172]

Ive never sat in a car and thought it's great, but I just need different colours for the ambient lighting!

[@fashion_with_kirsty]

SOLD great review thank you

[@young-j731]

Love This -Volkswagen- Audi A1

[@aayangoverski3437]

Armrest is an option, cheap materials, fake vents, overpriced, nah I’m good I’ll get another car

[@peebarlo454]

Thank goodness for the stick of truth. Brilliant!

[@omidbanaeian1288]

could you also make a similar video about the Opel Adam ? thanks

[@CylusHorny]

I love cars, and I need to learn English So I watch Mat talk about cars to learn English ! Two birds one stone mate !

That’s really cool man your English in writing is great.

[@LENKRAD]

I am sorry Audi but that's just not working. You get way more for your money in every other small car from any other brand, even if the quality may not be as good as the Audis (Yet still plastics all round the car which usually causes the main reason for criticism with any other brand) I mean this is still the small car segment where people don't wanna spend loads of money, they just want a good looking practical city-car for everyday use and not pay a fortune. Absolutely way too expensive for a small car or any car this size. For 30k you get the next bigger car from any other brand with almost the same equipment. But I think thats just the badge people are paying for whatever reason.

[@wheresthelambsauce8705]

Lenkrad you can get an A3 for this kind of money, the a1 has never been excellent but this one is a let down

[@benjames5423]

Exactly. I think Audi forgot that the A1 is in the same class as the Fiesta, Fabia and Polo.

[@brian_mwaura]

It might be Audi's response to the Mini, but what works for that car is the value it gives, you get so much compared to this overpriced box that sadly will still be sold.

[@wheresthelambsauce8705]

I just can’t see it selling to people with a healthy budget because the competition in luxury hatchbacks is fierce anyway but when you can buy a low mileage and 6-12 month old TT or a Jaguar XE and the list goes on. It makes people rethink

[@Enforcer_WJDE]

@@wheresthelambsauce8705 An A3 is expensive for it's class and not really offering that much more nowadays compared to Asian manufacturers. You pay the difference because it's a *premium brand* .

[@tayyabzafar184]

Hey Matt ?! From where did you buy this jacket ? I love it !

[@chubbyBunny94]

they've remoted electronic handbrakes? Was it bad?
