Audi S1

Quite like the look of this:

Good price, manual, potentially a fun, quick, compact car!

Lol good price, it's a 25 grand A1!

4 exhausts look fairly silly too.

Yaayuh! · 12 Feb 2014 at 10:07

I was waiting for this to happen

We've had an A1 since release, love the little tike.

Since the A1 Quattro LE release, there were obviously going to do an S1 with the 2L TFSI.

Love it apart from the quad exhausts. Polo R will be good competition

I prefer the look and perhaps the general idea of the Polo to this.

Ryan-3 · 12 Feb 2014 at 10:17

Hell of a lot of money for a car of that size!

I too prefer the look of the Polo.

Here is as good a place to ask this as any.

How come the 1.4 TSFI engine in the A1 what seems to get no where near as many reported issues as the Fabia and Polo variants?

As for the topic, thats a lot of cash for such a small car

I saw an Audi A1 Quattro LE in middlewich last weekend, looked nice!

It was the latest and most developed version of that engine, so a lot of the earlier bugs were ironed out.

It's not 100% bullet proof however.

If it's anything like the quattro concept, I'd rather have a 1.4 TFSI version with the DSG box.

G|mp · 12 Feb 2014 at 11:11

There's an A1 I see round here every now and again that has Audi race stickers all over it, I thought that was an S1. Obviously not

I like it though, pricey but nice.

Won't be long before we see 300bhp+ S1 cars on the streets. Terrorising the big dogs lol

peterattheboro · 12 Feb 2014 at 12:01

That looks awful. Quad pipes and multicoloured panels and interior. Make sure your handbag matches

Don't pay extra for it then

Looks to me like they've aspired to make the car look like a Citroen DS?

lemonade · 12 Feb 2014 at 12:19

The 5 door looks like a Citroen rip and the normal 3 door A1 is rip of the Fiat 500 shape, with the styling of an 18 year old Audi A3. All for the bargain price of 25k, no thanks!

mjt · 12 Feb 2014 at 12:41

I'd much rather have the A1 Quattro. Looks awesome in the flesh and it's more powerful.

lmfao this was my first thought when I saw it. We even have a yellow one up the road from us.

Jono8 · 12 Feb 2014 at 12:52

25k!? Can't you get an M135i for not much more than that??

In fact, cant you get a myriad of better, nicer and faster cars than that for around the same money...!

unrealrocks · 12 Feb 2014 at 12:58

Never really understood the A/S1 when you have the A/S3 range!
