I quite like the A1, but holy crap!

I thought you meant the road.

Immense expense. I inspected them on the Audi stand at LeMans last year, I nearly died when an Audi salesman told me the base price !

I then told him I shall advise my uncle to buy a Fiat 500 Abarth and get it mapped He didn't like that.

My mum has the poverty spec one. The interior is lovely for the price .
Although it does sound like a tractor.. TDI Powaa, bro!

[H_Kan]

That is an absolute joke, I'd imagine you could buy some much tastier new metal for that sort of money.

I suppose it is no worse than the mini in this respect. Better value if you are more prudent with the extras.

How is it 3k more than http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2854572.htm

New form of snobbery, poverty snobs.

They want the trappings of a £30k car, but they want to look like they are tightening their belts to fit in with middle englands strugglers (it is trendy to blend in). Audi spot this early and pitch the A1 at A4 and 5 customers who want to look poor while feeling smug that they are considerably richer than you.

Incredible to think that some lunatic will buy that. For thirty thousand pounds.

It's a good engine - turbo & super chargers to give power, torque and economy.


Does the fact that the car is noted as being non-VAT qualifying mean it was bought by a private buyer from new?

There was one of those new MINI's (the one on stilts-a-like) in Sytners showroom with a price of £32,000.
It didn't even have leather or sat-nav. (a bit of a bodykit, though)

Utter madness.

Interior looks amazing.

That's incredible, I actually had to look at the background to make sure you'd done anything! Jesus.

Even this is cheaper.

Sister paid £19k for her 1.6 TDI A1 and it's well specced but I laughed in her face when she told me she spent that much on it.

It's a nice little car but for gods sake.

And yet being audi like is the benchmark for interiors.
