Verdict
The A1 nearly knows as much as a higher class sedan; great quality, lots of extras and it's easy to use. The sportseats are comfortable, the sportsuspension's not really... Great engine in pair with the exact and long-geared manual gearbox. Very good and sensible ESP, precise handling, high traction. Powerful and fading-free brakes.

DaSilva will love this thread. Btw, it's a great small car & looks absolutely stunning in that red.

I spotted a A1 a few days ago. I didn't like it from the photos but IRL it looks good.

Autobild test results are much better especially the in-gear times.

don't like the boot opening line from these pics.

don't like the boot opening line from these pics.

Not a problem considering how close the pannel gaps are for a car in this segment. I'm guessing it was more of a thought for the cabrio version anyway

 

[Mr Robert]

The weight is great. With the right modifications, this could be a seriously good car.

What is the real BMW rival for this car?
1-series competes with A3. I think this car is in the same class as Citroen C2 or Fiat 500.

 

[Mr Robert]

I drive the (BMW/Peugeot) car that the A1 rivals.

Audi has sent out invitations to "free lunch and great giveaways" to MINI owners here in Sweden. The people at New MINI Club Sweden are amused
