Audi introduced the A1 in the UK in November of last year, since its unveiling at the Geneva Motor Show in 2010 it has been attracting a lot of interest from the press as well as potential buyers. It was released in the UK with a lot of PR to ensure it attracted as much attention as possible. Even though it's been out for almost 6 months, I only got to see one in flesh last week.
As well as being named "Car of the Year" by What Car? Magazine the Audi A1 in Edinburgh has now been named the "Best Luxury Small Car of 2011" by CarBuyer's panel of road testers and reviewers. The panel commented on the fact that the supermini offered luxury equipment usually only seen in larger models, not all of the A1's competitors have a lot of luxury features.As well as being named "Car of the Year" by What Car?

They also commented on the excellent driveability of the A1 and its range of punchy engines. The A1 is the cheapest Audi available on the market yet it easily matches its bigger siblings. Like all Audis the A1 feels and is very well put together, reliability with an Audi is high as standard so expect no different from the premium supermini.They also commented on the excellent driveability of the A1 and its range of punchy engines.

The Audi A1 is priced very competitively, the 1.2 SE Model costs only 13,420, prices go up to 20,705 for the top of the range 1.4 TFSI 185PS model. The award was presented to Jeremy Hicks, Director of Audi UK, by CarBuyer's Editor Dan Strong on the Audi stand at the Geneva Motor Show.
