Although it does not fail for the British offer of nostalgia, the better is the Mini with traditional Audi Teutonic attention to detail and a kind of clean and beautiful interior design. The product range includes 227bhp 2.0 liter quattro S1, which is particularly impressive when they work as long termer of Evo Magazine.
Most common versions A1, of course, the bulk of the sales, although it is quite easy then to bring a close relationship with the VW Polo, not to stop this ride.

Prices, specifications and rivals
The A1 looks expensive compared to regular Superminis, but it is launched by a buyer who does not see a party or Corsa. The Mini is the most obvious rival, the A1, Audi, although it can not compete the Brit on the way to see. The A1 is the cheapest, it was slightly less than £ 16k for a brand three-door version 1.0 TFSI. Sportback five-seater adds £ 600 to the list price, and take the S-Tronic automatic and added £ 1,500 more for that.
The coupe is given with the most available, but sports added unit selection, preparation phone with Bluetooth interface, voice control, lumbar adjustment on the seats, multifunction steering wheel, gloss black and finished aluminum mouth ventilation and control switches and fog lamps and alloys front wheels 16 inches.
The S line models are mostly stronger exterior styling and "Xenon plus" headlights with LED daytime running lights. The list of options is long, which allows full customization, but is also expensive long, so they fit from checkboxes.
The biggest problem is that the A1 Ford Fiesta ST200 and Peugeot Sport Peugeot 208 GTI cost less than £ 23,000 which is the same type of price A1 TFSI Black Edition 1.4 with a transmission S tronic. As much fun as driving the A1 is not as fast, or adjustable in any part as much fun as these cars.
While the Audi A1 could be directed directly to the mini-competition, only a handful of variants S1 are included, are far from fun to drive. 1.4 TSI model is undoubtedly the choice of the group, while the ability to meet them will make you happy behind the wheel because of the beautiful surroundings where you are, but as a deep desire to steer. Sport trim brings a tighter suspension, at the expense of driving comfort, but fortunately it is a choice option, despite the mantra evo, we recommend leaving you.
