A Really superb review Pete, love the editing particularly the beginning, the voice over section works well, plenty of expertly considered information, plus your effortless delivery - this is your best review to date. As for the car, the interior looks to be top drawer the styling very well resolved. From this review it looks to me like Audi and petrolped have moved the game on somewhat. Great work.

My neighbour recently bought a new Polo (R Line). It's so big I thought it was a Golf until I looked round the back and saw Polo. The ride height is pure comedy. I'm sure a small child could stick their head between the wheel and the arch. This A1 looks very nice indeed.

But isn't that true now of every premium badge and even some less than premium have you specc'd a fiesta lately, you can get them way into the mid 20's, mini one with decent wheels is over 20k and just seen BMW 1 series 1.5 with wheels and msport pack nearly 29k. I'm not saying this is a good thing but if people are going to moan about it don't just pick on one brand, they all do it. The new A class can get up to nearly 40k before you get to the large engine AMG's!

@@Gez492 Maybe. I guess with how these cars have grown in size you need to look at cars like the VW Up if you actually want a super mini at a more reasonable cost. People will spend their money how they want but in my opinion there are far better cars to spend it on than a £30K A1.

If people are willing to spend £30k on a small non-sporty car so be it. I'd be interested to see what the real price is in a few months through someone like Car Wow. There is a presumption that "Prestige" car makers can add £5k to the MRP without qualms. A fully specced 5 door Fiesta ST3 is around £24 MRP, and I know which I'd rather have.

A pleasure to watch this review Pete, your calm but informative and honest style stands out from the many I have watched lately. The A1 35 Sport looks like the one to go for to me, and the virtual cockpit really appeals alongside the other refinements brought in by Audi to the already much improved Polo (certainly when compared to the 8 year old version I am driving). Just waiting for the 2nd hand prices to drop a little more and then I look forward to sampling the balance and feel that you have described so very well.

The 40tfsi is terrific, it may not look that impressive in today's world where sub 5s 0-60 times are becoming common but not long ago 200bhp and 6.5a would have been leading hot hatch performance. In a small-ish car it's plenty and the 40tfsi can be either a playful blast, a sensible urban car or handle long motorway drives.

I’m sat here trying to imagine it without the extra £12K worth of extras Peter, even with £6K worth of extras. At £18K price point it sounds reasonable for its class but it wouldn’t draw me into a showroom to take a look. Space in the boot could be increased if the rear sets are folded, hmm so where do the kids sit ? On a more positive note the interior looks nice (in this fully spec’d model), ambient lighting - where have we seen that before ? Oh MINI has been doing it forever. The drivetrain wouldn’t be for me but an RS version ? Umm, now that might just pull me into the showroom. As an aside, my brother in law has one of the previous A1’s, it’s horrible. Great , honest review as always. It’s going to appeal to some but not me. Cheers Geof

Top review yet again. If I was a manufacturer or dealer, you would be first on my list to invite for a demo. Quality reviews every time. 🙌 Audi have a great line up at the moment and the standards and spec right through the range are fantastic. As with most makes - the spec options are over complicated and you find yourself spec’ing a smaller car to a price point equivalent to a car two sizes up in the range. And then you cut back on the spec and later regret dropping the option that saved you a few £00. First world problems.

Finlay Downham-White The Fabia is a very good car for the money. Comfy, reliable and good engines. Badge snobs will hate it though. Ive had new Skoda and Audi, and to be honest the Audi was all very nice but not good enough for the premium price tag and after a while I disliked the perceived image it had and the way others looked at me. Im not arrogant or a show off so it was the wrong car for me in the end. Plenty of these A1s will be leased so that the drivers can show off to their workmates. If thats what makes you happy, you must be lacking in confidence and have a very empty sad life if you need a certain brand of car to boost your ego. Nobody is really interested

Pedro. Sadly no A1 imported into the USA. I used to own an Audi A3 hatch back diesel. Best interior of any car I have owned. However it was part of the VW Diesel emissions scandal. Sold it back to Audi 18 months ago at the pre scandal price plus a $7,5000 penalty. Went out and bought a Mini S cash the next weekend. So VW owns the Audi brand. I have to admit I am a bit cautious about buying a VW product again. I am a former Touareg owner and it was riddled with constant problems, but it did have a fantastic engine and driving feel. I love the look of the A1 but would probably not consider it based on past experience with the brand. Just my opinion.

I can see the stealing many sales off them current Mini range. As for the £30k price tag, it doesn't surprise me and I'd imagine that most owners of a brand new one will tickets a good many of those options you listed as it probably only adds £20 or £30 to the monthly PCP.

Nice review and nice looking car, particularly in this colour but a couple of things I don't like-no 'flappy paddles' and the appearance of the exterior paint on the inside of the door frames makes it look cheap. Our current A3 has this covered although the new A3 also goes down this route. This combined with the harder cheaper plastics in these latest lower range Audis is a disappointment, considering the price. Also needs the 1.5 litre 4 cylinder petrol.

There is something wrong with the styling, it makes the rear wheels look smaller than the fronts. The rear three quarter design looks too chunky

BMW owner here. Audi do make the slickest looking cars, however 30K is absurd for a 1.0 3 cylinder hatchback. How much life are you going to get out of a small engine like this that requires constant wringing to keep up with traffic? 30K for the RS version (if one were to ever exist) would be a lot more tempting. You can get a Fiesta ST for something like 20K! This thing is just a fashion statement.

Over time we've had two new A1s in the family. Hard to fault apart from being less involving to drive compared with our 1 series BMW. Audi's new corporate look across the range is going to take some getting used to.

I like the Audi quality and look but struggle to see it as a £30k car, depreciation will be pretty low as well. I think a polo would be a better buy and for that money you could have a polo GTI. So the question is your buying a new car either this A1 or Polo Gti
