Anyone drive an Audi A1?

My dads' company car has the 1.6 tdi engine in it, and it's been faultless.. but nowhere as responsive to drive as the 1.9 PD it replaced. Much turbo lag!

My wife has the 1.4tfsi 120 bhp S Line A1 and had it since new in March 2013. It has done 17k faultless miles and they are lovely cars. It has averaged 40 mpg mainly very local town miles and easy gets into the high 50's on any run over 10 miles

Looking to sell it if you are interested as going for something bigger now the kids are growing and my Pirelli is getting on a bit

If you've driven 2012+ Polo Luke, you've basically driven an A1 - at least in my experience.

The steering is marginally lighter, but interior aside, it's as good as the same car. You'd be pushed to notice non subtle differences. The A1 engine range is better admittedly.
As MPS says, the 1.6 tdi can be hit and miss - the 2.0tdi 140ps is the engine to go for in that car. Surprisingly pacey and good economy return all in all @lukemk5gti

I actually would be interested unfortunately we're in Dublin, Ireland so it's a bit far!

That's a real shame Luke. We will probably end up part exchanging it and would happily do a forum member a great deal. From my quick searches, we could get £11,250 from we buy any car, a little bit more on part exchange or north of £12,500 easily selling privately. I would happily let it go for c.£12k to keep us all happy. It even has its next service covered by the service deal we bought when new.

If you fancy a trip over let me know or if your search ends up fruitless. We are just south of leicester and will not advertise for another few weeks as new car due in October
