Thank you ladies and gentlemen, thank you for that warm welcome. Tonight, the verdict on the new Audi A1.
Not impressed.
As with all audis the ride will be too hard, the steering will have no feel and the base model will be much worse and 25% more expensive than the Polo its based on.
Also it will kill your soul. True story.
Instead why not go for something that you might actually enjoy to drive, the Mini for example, the oh so cute Fiat 500, the absolutely stunning Alfa Romeo MiTo or perhaps the beautiful to drive (and look at) Ford Fiesta.
Unless you're the kind of person who also drives a 4WD and therefore have no soul, you'll want something else. |
haha excellent! Let the hate flow through you! I like the way you think
I hate when companies dress up lower tier brand cars into the high-end outfits of their expensive marques. It's mostly flash and no substance. There are of course exceptions though.
To me, this Audi looks decent, but for the cash you could get way more car elsewhere for less money. |

That would have the worst visibility ever. How cars like that even get past safety checks is beyond me. |

I hope you get some new struts too if you lower it more than 1-2 inches. |

Nah, I'm only lowering it about 1.25" to close in a bit of the wheel gap. And installing an adjustable panhard bar to re-center the rear axle.
, if you lowered this car more than 2" it would become completely useless. A buddy of mine did a 2" drop and it's a struggle. |

Haha well just figured I'd make sure. I used to see people do that all the time. Get lowering springs and drop it by 3" and then their struts would go out after like 5k and they wondered why.
Good on getting the panhard bar. Lots of people don't get them. |
