The A1 is a fine car – it's great to drive, comfortable to sit in and is available with lots of big car options. However, if you can live without a posh badge, the Peugeot 208 and VW Polo offer slightly more for less.
Sport trim is our recommendation, because it brings 16in alloy wheels (that don’t ruin ride comfort), cruise control and rear parking sensors. You also get a greater range of personalisation options, including a contrasting colour roof.
This 108bhp 1.0-litre three-cylinder engine is a great fit for the Audi A1. It delivers more than adequate performance with a reasonable purchase price and easy to swallow running costs.
At What Car?, we believe that no one should overpay for their new car, which is why we created our free New Car Buying service. This links you with trusted local dealers who base their offers on prices haggled by our mystery shoppers.
