Description
This lovely Audi A1 1.6 TDI S line (FW12 FLA) is finished in beautiful Ibis White and looks really smart – clean, fresh and just the right amount of understated class.
It's the sought-after 3-door version with the economical 1.6 TDI diesel engine that gives around 105 PS. It pulls nicely from low revs, so it's relaxed around town yet still has enough go for motorway overtakes. The manual gearbox feels precise and enjoyable, and with typical real-world economy in the high 60s mpg you'll love how little it costs to run – road tax is very reasonable too.
On the outside it's proper S line spec: sporty front bumper, side skirts, rear diffuser, roof spoiler and those twin exhausts that give it a purposeful look without being over the top. The 17-inch alloys fill the arches perfectly and the xenon headlights with LED daytime running lights make it stand out, especially in the evening. It just sits right – poised, athletic and very Audi.
Inside you get that lovely premium feel straight away. The black leather/Alcantara S line sports seats are supportive and look great with the embossed logo. There's the flat-bottom steering wheel, aluminium trim, those signature round air vents and everything feels solid and well put-together. Climate control keeps things comfortable, the infotainment is straightforward with Bluetooth and SD card compatibility, and the cabin is in really nice condition. Rear seats are decent for occasional passengers and the boot is surprisingly practical for day-to-day use.
Being an S line it has the sports suspension so it handles corners with real confidence and feels planted, but it's still comfortable enough for everyday driving – the perfect balance really.
If you're after a smart, efficient small car that feels special every time you get in, with genuine Audi build quality and low running costs, this one is a gem. It's been very well looked after and drives beautifully.
