Saw an A1 this morning

Given I owned a 106GTi for over 5 years, I'd say I'm quite happy about cars having torsion-beam rear setups.

There is one at work, it looks like a Grumpy Polo.

And my first thought was that it looked as if an A3 had brutally raped a Fiat 500 and then some philanphropic soul had forked out 13k to adopt the resulting unwanted child. God it's ugly!

It is fking ugly and pointless, but it won't stop the sheep rushing to buy one.
There was one in the concourse at Munich airport, every option 34,000 Euro

I imagine you would be, but assuming a multi-link rear end would make the ride and handling even better would you rather have that or a bigger boot?

I love it when cars with it have that characteristic dip when you put on the handbrake or move away up a hill.... reminds you that are you are really driving a shopping car :P

Ironically, the older, better model, has fully independant rear suspension

Indeed it does..... (insert smugness)
