After it arrived in 2010, the Audi A1 quickly built up an impressive trophy cabinet with awards from Auto Express and our sister site Carbuyer. It’s easy to see why, as Audi’s smallest car offered the same build quality, excellent ergonomics and hi-tech features as the brand’s bigger models.
Some manufacturers build their smaller cars to lower standards to save cash, but not Audi. So when you buy an Audi A1, you do so safe in the knowledge that it’s made with the same attention to detail as an A4 or Q5. To an extent, Audi was forced to do this by the fact that the A1 shares so much with the equivalent Volkswagen Polo, SEAT Ibiza and Skoda Fabia superminis. As the premium option from the Volkswagen Group stable, the A1 needed to be a cut above.
The A1 is a great alternative to some of the more obvious luxury small cars out there. When we ran a 1.4 TFSI on our fleet when it was new, it proved very popular thanks to its perky engine, high-quality interior, and strong comfort and refinement. Here's Vicki Butler-Henderson to explain how to buy the best example you can.

Apparently, due to tighter European emissions standards, Audi have decided to discontinue the A1 after the end of the current model (Mark 2''s) production run!
Bad decision
really
@@michaelmich00 really what?
Not just Audi discontinuing small cars unfirtunately. Legislation (ie politicians) have forced so much safety kit etc onto all cars that it's difficult for almost all manufacturers to make money on small cars, so we're being forced into larger, heavier, thirstier cars that are worse for the environment (and our wallets)
@@michaelmich00 REALLY WHAT?!
Are these reliable ?
This is simply a review of the different models of the A1 and their features. More like an advert. No insight on how to buy the best used A1 at all.
My niece recently sold her A1 S Line, 1.4, nice spec and well below avg mileage (12k) because of Covid, it was 4 years and 3 mths old.
New it was £21.5k. Sold it to a car supermarket desperately looking for stock for just over £15k. I'm no car dealer but I'm that means it would retail for at least £17k. They certainly keep their value ATM.
there's also a 1.8 petrol engine
An auto was available in 2012, not from 2014...
I’ve got a 2011 1.4 182 hp which is auto triptonnic. 21000 miles only. one real problem recently. The abs system failed needing a new ABS module
Overall very happy still with it
The mk1 oddly, still reminds me of an Austin Allegro…………
