Audi A1 Hatchback (2010 - 2018) 2.0 TDI Black Edition 3d (2012/62) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Unique, special and classy. I get a lot of comments when I'm out and about. Since the car is unique with the colours I choose (red and black) and also that it is the black edition there isn't many around.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They all love the car and it stands out from all the other cars in the street.Especially being the black edition.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Definitely would buy an A1 again. Also it's a more expensive car to buy the parts including tyres, break pads ect haven't needed replaced after 2 years unlike previous cars I have had. Bottom like you pay more money for the car but you get more economy back from it.

What are you likely to buy next?

Will be keeping my A1 for a few years yet, maybe another A1 but possibly a TT.Definitely another Audi due to the value for money and reliability.

The service was really good and professional. When the car arrived I got a tour of the car and how to use everything which no other dealer had done before.

What's it like to drive?

It's very easy and smooth to drive yet powerful and economical. Steering is very easy and you always feel in control even in ice and rain.

Very easy due to its size and easy to maneuver. I don't need parking sensors. The mirrors adjust when reversing which is great.

Absolutly nothing.

What's most practical about your car?

It's nice and compact. Great for long distance and city driver. Althought the boot space is small, however the back seats do fold down very nicely.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

There are too many to mention. I like the pop up screen in the middle of the dashboard. I'm glad I added folding electric mirrors. The LED lights give it that extra glam look. Looking back I wish I had added DAB radio.
