Audi A1

Ok, I admit. I was shop-hopping around Leng Kee for a car to replace my Nissan Latio. Not that my Latio is no good (in fact I really missed it T_T...), but I want to try something different. I went into Audi after VW and Mini. Of course, my criteria for the car would be to be within my budget (Cat A coe), must be easy on the eye and must be a hatchback. The salesman (Edmund Fun) promptly came to me and introduced A1 and A3 to me. I saw and test A3 first and not long after, I saw this cuttie waiting for me to test drive. It caught my eye. I knew I fell for it. Shaped like a mini, but has all the characteristics of an Audi. I especially love the LED headlight, which is shaped like an eye, a dragon eye, to be exact. The gorgeous exterior and interior melted my heart and I was left speechless after I tested the car... Edmund explained all the specification to me and was very knowledgeable and patient (should look for him if you want good service!). I remembered I asked the hardest and weirdest questions about A1, but he seems to make the whole experience nothing more than a small favour between old friends. Then of course - I bought the car immediately (I bought 185bhp, for newbies, 185 bhp is better than 122 bhp). And now I'm a proud owner of this beast and it nearly drained all my resources. Yes, you can see the price on top. Damn it. I'm still running-in the engine but I can tell you, the twinned-charged turbo-engine packs a punch. At slow speed, it feels jerky, as if telling me it doesn't like it slow. At 80-100 km/h, the drive is smooth as silk. The 18" sports rim, the MMI interface and the stunning dashboard are all the ticks on my checklist. I'm not sure if I'm sensitive, but I can feel that the A1 attracts lots of attention on the road. The brainchild of German designer Stefan Sielaff, the A1 has both the aesthetic and sleek factors as well as a very outstanding performance. Any young and adventurous individual would want (or maybe need) a piece of this hot beast. I’m enjoying and loving every moment with my A1 and I’m still learning and discovering it. What more can I ask for?... Read More

I feel that this is the BEST premium hatchback simply because it has the nicest design among its competitors. The overall design portray a very cool image of the car which gives many people a second glance at it when spotted. A small car with Audi qualities and the Audi badge can't fail. All three engines are good, and quality is up to the usual Audi standards.... Read More
