  • When it first hit the market back in 2010, the Audi A1 ‘out-minied’ the Mini, with its style, quality, desirability and driver engagement. Can history repeat itself with the brand new model, sending it straight to the pinnacle of the premium hatchback pile?

    Due to
    - Precision manufacturing in quality seats and materials with its comfortable colors.
    - the width of the wheels.
    and
    - the harmony of the engine speed.
    and
    - the weight of the axle.
    Just Require more to focus in Middle East / especially Saudi Arabia Market by pushing the dealers to let the spare parts available within good price and to encourage the young people.

      @Dapdoi Ardon What on earth you on about? Lol RWD audi? The car isn't meant to be like that. This is an A1 model with probably max 150PS 1.5 TFSI engine. The design reflects on that and does not need huge vents or manual handbrake. It's a comfortable city car with all the things you need. The S1 on the other hand will most likely be Quattro and only offered in manual transmission to ensure the S3 still has a selling point (DSG). The engine will probably be the same 2.0 TFSI from the S3 but with around 250PS.

      This was in a recent interview. The only way we would get a performance model is if they follow the polo route and go 250bhp fwd.
