AUDI A1: PRESS REVIEWS
Wed, 2010/08/04 - 12:22pm — cliodriver
The hotly anticipated baby Audi recently unveiled to the overseas press, magazines such Evo. Autocar,and Topgear each have tested the car, and the verdict? good looks, brilliant interior, but dynamically a disappointment. oh dear.Autocar said not only is the A1 inferior to the Mini dynamically but even the Ford Fiesta, While Evo and Topgear were also vocal in the disappointment. the fact that the A1 uses a torsion beam rear suspension compared to its competitiors more sophisitcated setup, doesnt do the car any favours. i thinks its about time Audi engineers woke up and put more effort into their mainstream cars dynamics, or they will fall even further behind. what a pity.i think its such a great looking small car, its a far more sophisticated design than its rivals, that makes it all the more disappointing.
