Pros & cons

Audi A1 2.0 TFSI

Good value in its segment at around 35,000
335 L cargo space can feel tight for cargo‑heavy use

7 L/100 km consumption is respectable but not the most frugal

Punchy 170 hp and strong horsepower ranking aid confident urban merging
Seats five with a 360 L trunk for small-family practicality
360 L cargo area may feel tight for bulky items
Range can be limiting for frequent long highway trips

150 km/h top speed and 8.2 s 0-100 km/h won’t satisfy performance enthusiasts
