Yeah you’re right it’s 0:44 (my mistake). I agree it’s a great idea

I had a 1.4 tfsi 185 as a company car for a few years. Took a lot of proverbial from colleagues whilst I had it but I loved it-decent performance and fuel economy and living in M/cr city centre at the time was a doddle to park. Great little car.

This is what i call a review!!!! straightforward, informative

An old friend of mine had one of these in school. It was the 1.4 tfsi. It felt miles apart from my 2015 C1 that I was driving at the time.

A while ago we searched for a A1, my wife just fancied Audi's, then our common sense kicked in, and for the same price range, 12-15k, we found a fully loaded Mazda 3 Hatchback from the same year, wich feels more premium and more like a car. And it has a decent 2.0 liter engine.

Great content & variety again Matt. 👌🏼

Thank you for all the tips and what to look, especially on Land Rovers.

I purchased an S1 Competition (5 door) 2 years ago from Audi and the fun factor was amazing; such a quick wee car and phenomenally grippy. However, being used to Golf Mk7’s and Audi A3’s, it became quickly apparent that size was an issue (oo-er) - in every way ! Also, infotainment was very dated (& small), but Audi were willing to update the Sat-Nav for only £500 !!! I only had the car for 10 months and traded in for a fully loaded Golf mk7 GTI Performance, I instantly felt at home again. A1’s are nice wee cars, but regardless of spec, there are better alternatives out there.

Yeah I had an S1 as a loaner whilst mine was in. Hilarious wee car, and great fun! My small car days were over when the A1 went, and I currently drive a 23 Volvo V90 T6 Recharge Ultimate. Quicker than an S1 and as much fun, just no rattles and not a bone shaker!!

I love my 2017 AUDI A1 1.4 TFSI Sport. It absolutely does anything I need without any trouble. I get from A to B in comfort and at a decent pace. It suits me as a 62 year old bloke.

My other half has the 1.0t, and it's not a bad runner at all. She's had it from new, no problems to speak of aside from a snapped spring once. No extras on hers though, so quite bare. Engine does its job nicely, pulls well low down. Runs out of puff quite early, but for driving on public roads its plenty capable. Makes a surprisingly nice noise from inside the cabin too - although it may have a sound synthesizer, I've never looked. The part that surprises me, is with it being an 66 plate and the base model its still valued higher than my 2014 Focus ST2. Admittedly the Audi has under 30k miles on it but still. But thats the thing I find with any of the VW group cars. They hold their value, which is good if you own it. But I've always found buying one a poor value proposition, considering the alternatives available at the same price range when buying 2nd hand. EDIT: Oh and with regards to the first owner being a cheapskate and not speccing satnav, with these it's a yearly fee to enable it. Which is ridiculous.

ive had nearly 40mpg on the motorway in my s3, but I love that wee car, ive just bought an a1 1.6 diesel wow what a car im definitely an Audi fan

Great review 👏 👌 👍🏻 🙌 thank you 🙏

I love my 2018 1.4tfsi 125bhp black edition. Mega spec inc Bose, heated seats, cruise etc. Not had any problems in 3 years, so cheap to run, i'll probably keep it for years more. Hold their value well too!

Merry Christmas!

My little sister has a 3 door one like this. It’s a really special car. Worth the premium price tag.

Well Matt when I tried my A1 out, with a salesman beside me in case I went too far, I showed him a fault the engine had and therefore rejected it as unroadworthy. Bought an A3 instead with an auto box. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, see you in '23.

No they are not. These TFSI engines can be problematical.

Like that intro!

Just parted with a 1.4 Tfsi great car very quiet engine has a timing belt which in my opinion is better providing you change it at the correct intervals ( no rattling) bought a vw troc noticeable drop in quality!

I would say the biggest problem lem with the A1 is the existence of the A3 I mean if you walk around a big (talking available car size ) used car lot, and get the chance to sit / drive both, the argument for the A1 is vastly diluted.

Another thing you forgot to mention is the parts for this car are difficult to get and expensive but I freaking love it besides it as a better sound system then a Skoda Octavia.

i enjoyed this content good video m8,small audi a1 tdi is frugal cheap to run nice car.😉

I have a VW Up! TSI with the same engine I believe, the 1.0 3 cylinder turbo engine. That engine has a cam belt. Great engine and I was lucky to find one with every extra including heated seats, climate control, auto lights and wipers, and cruise control. The interior is quite cheap in comparison with an A1 though.

Had an S1 as a hire car on a number of occasions for business trips from Bristol to Lincoln. Enjoyable little thing to drive but I found it difficult to find a driving position that didn't leave me needing to almost roll out of the car after a long-ish drive, and I'm neither excessively tall (6ft 1in) nor 'big' (14st 10lbs).

2.0tdi on this platform is a great package. I was lucky enough to own one of the seat ibiza fr with this engine option.

Nice looking car!

Hey you! Im impressed with you more than the Audi A1.

Great video. Not mentioned in your video but you could get a decent spec SEAT Ibiza for a lot less. Essentially the same car in a different "dress". And much better looking. Fair enough the interior might not be Waitrose inspired but more Sainsbury's or Tesco.

great review as always! i’ve been driving my A1 1.4 tfsi DSG since 2014 and it’s still running pretty well, the only thing that annoys me is that there’s no cruise control in my spec. In January I plan to drive to Portugal from Russia on this car with my whippet

Hi, think you said that the petrol engines were chain driven. The 1lt petrol is a belt, same engine as in my 1lt Golf. The 1.4lt is also belt in both 125 and 150 bhp derivatives. The 1. 2lt earlier engine was indeed chain driven, and suffered from chain slap, if as you say, not maintained properly, I too think they make a great second hand buy. Love the video formats you are putting out, thanks 👍

Great video! As a mini fan I totally agree with you about the slightly goofy looks and firm ride. However, only the second gen mini has the horrible Peugeot engine. First gens all came with the BMW/Chrysler tritec engine which was very reliable when paired to a decent getrag gearbox because of is cast iron block and low state of tune. The newer minis use a tried and tested 1.5l litre engine in the one and cooper which aren't bad units and were even used in the BMW i8! Have a great Christmas Matt!
